I'm playing Infiltrator, continuing my sheshep from ME1. Trying to go for a lessie romance with whoever will take me.

Weapons:
The sniper rifle is a lot more stable (they don't seem to move at all in scoped mode) but the ammo for them is ridiculous. You get 10 shots. Each clip you pick up for it is 1 shot. I only use it for special occasions at the moment.

I'm mainly using the machine pistol thing at the moment, as the regular pistol (which is more powerful) also has a stupid ammo amount.

Powers:
Haven't found the powers to be anything like the ones from ME1 so far. :(
Haven't got any of the sabotage (disable shield and overheat weapon) powers, just got a "lob a ball of fire" one at the moment. Not sure if the sabotage ones are even in ME2 anymore. Hopefully I've just got unlocked them yet.
You also get a "cloak" power, which is just poo from what I've found so far.

I went for one of the ammo enhancement bonus powers from doing the various crew mates specific missons and I have ranked it up to provide the bonus accross my squad. Problem is I run with Grunt, who has the incendiary ammo ability with the same squad bonus, and he keeps overwriting me.

Is there a way to re-spec him that I have missed entirely? I am aware I can respec Shepard, but haven't seen the option for my squad.

Tell you what though, that sniper rifle doesn't half go through armour and shields, I save it for the tougher enemies and it makes mincemeat of them when you headshot.

Just picked up a very good sniper rifle, 1 headshot kills when no armour and about 3/4 of dmg when they have armour.

Also getting used to using the parties abilities more, nothing like a good pull/slam combo to kill mobs
 
The main thing i hate about this game is the change to ammo instead of overheating. A nice Assault Rifle i picked up with 5 round bursts... it has 120 ammo max. Useless. The Sniper Rifle, 45 and fires 3 round bursts. The Shotgun, 15 shots making it worthless to even try and use, exception being when a Krogan gets in close. The heavy weapon ammo is also laughable, wasn't really paying attenion and used up all 15 of my ammo in 1 semi-boss fight in about 10 seconds, and it didn't even kill it.

Its just so restrictive, a nice new system of inventory and upgrades and they waste it by rendering half the guns ****ing useless.
 
All I can say is make an effort into researching your weapons and armour.

Don't forget to go to your quarters to change your gear. Later on you can mod your gear to pack extra ammo if you choose to do so.

Can't say I've run out of ammo once in a fight. Had to switch to another gun, yes.

Run out of ammo completely no, but run out of it for my main 2 guns (an Assault and Sniper) yes. Either way the ridiculously low amount of ammo for some weapons just serves no purpose. And Heavy Weapons just seem utterly useless so far. I'm not that far into the game but they don't seem to really have a point over ammo powerups.
 
The only gun you need is sniper!

My main squad consisted of myself (soldier), Garrus and Thane all packing snipers. We were unstoppable. Adrenaline burst + headshot = satisfying.
 
Just finished my first play through. I wouldn't say its as climatic as the first, but its still a great game.

I left out some of the loyalty missions etc on purpose so I actually have new content on my second play through. I assume this is also why some of my team died? Or did I just not pick the right people for the jobs? I didn't really get that bit, but did keep my chick alive so was happy enough.. I basically played a black bad-ass pimp renegade.. its going to be tough playing paragon on my next go though.. I had no desire to help people or save them..

Will probably give it a break of a few weeks or when I get a break.. then jump back in.

I have heard Adam Baldwin (Casey from Chuck). He has a two bit part as Quarian I think.

Kal'Reegar, Quarian marine. His voice seems very different to the other quarians :D.

Martin Sheen as the Illusive Man, Yvonne Strahovski (also from Chuck) as Miranda, and of course Seth Green as Joker again.

This game is ****ing brilliant!

Loving it so far, nearly 100% the first cluster lol, scanning minigame is very annoying.

What happens when you run out of fuel?

I maxed out loyalty with everybody on my playthrough - looking back that was probably a mistake as it leaves me with less to do on my second playthrough like you said, but I lost the drell in the last mission, ate a sneaky bullet, I cried.

I'm thinking of a second playthrough involving no loyalty, no upgrades to the ship, and a bloodbath at the end.

And then, when I can be bothered, a 3rd playthrough, somewhere in between the two!
 
Love this game, but the bugs are getting me down, especially the aforementioned ceiling bug. Spent 20 mins pinned down by a pack of Krogan and ended up stuck in the ceiling.
 
Just finished game that was probably the best game i ever played i think.

My game time was 29 hours. I tried to bed Miranda as much as possible flatley turning down tali and Jack but for some reason i never even got the chance with miranda. So my Sheppard stayed faithful to Ashley and apparenlty something will happen in ME3 with this love thing.

I played the game full renegade so much fun being a bad ass
 
I havent run out of ammo yet and my sniper rifle only has 12 bullets and needs to be reloaded after every shot, just have to combine your teams abilities to help take out enemies.
 
Question . POSSIBLE SPOILERS!!!






















































After doing practically all the side missions I've decided to get a move on with the main mission. Currently I'm in Omega 4 and on the Collector ship kicking ass. I take it after that I aint too far from the end right?
 
As far as bugs go, I bumped into the ceiling bug very briefly once but a quick reload sorted that, and I got an irritating sound loop on the Collector ship which a reload also fixed. Other than that, nothing.
