After ME2, not convinced yet...

Most enemies that you kill drop ammo, so I wouldn't really say that you have search that hard for ammo. I don't really like the overheat mechanic as I thought it was cheap cause you could never run out. At least with ammo you know that if you waste your
shots you'll pay for it..especially on the harder difficulties.

[/quote]And what happens if you blindly hold down the trigger in ME 1 and your gun overheats? You also pay for it. It can go both ways in consequences no matter the difficulty. But honestly, who holds down the trigger in ME 1 anyhow? I never have, I control
my shots in line with using my biotics/tech as well as my allies.

Again, I just found the system in ME 1 to be a bit more appropriate to something that feels like Mass Effect. No that's not because I prefer ME 1 ultimately. It's simply that the system in ME 2, while in a gameplay sense does make sense in terms of faster paced
combat mechanics that I do know some of you prefer, it does not feel like Mass Effect to me, but rather yet another adaptation from your typical shooter.

You only had unlimited shots in ME 1 when you finally leveled up enough, leveled up the appropriate stats, purchased the better weapons and purchased the better upgrades to dissipate the heat the weapon generates. That seems pretty typical to natural
progression of any "RPG". Term of RPG is widely defined of course, but to me ME 1 was every bit of a western action/RPG as any. Combined good action with great story progression, deep character progression, non-linear track for the story to progress, and
to me, a great stat based system that either made certain things good or bad in terms of performance especially weapons.

On the topic of ammo. No you don't have to look hard for "ammo", it's readily available and I never complain about that. If I do run out of ammo, then I do just as I would in ME 1, I use my biotic/tech powers or switch to another weapon then get the ammo after
the battle if need be.

But the simple fact that you do have to scavenge for ammo just doesn't hit the right stride for
me personally. I'm obviously different lol. The scavenging for ammo on the ground idea that far in the future, when we just used a system in ME 1 that was far more appropriate to originality in context, just boggles my mind. I do not think BioWare
simply changed the system because they wanted a different philosophy that would be better for the game or that the change was absolutely needed. The BSN forum is a powerful place for the vocal minority, and no one knows for absolute certain the percentage
of players that purchased/played ME 2 were or were not shooter fans, but I would venture to guess a large sum were because of the combat changes that do represent your typical TPS. Not saying that's fact, but it's always a possibility just as the same-***
situation was ultimately rectified and implemented in game because of constant demands from the BSN.

I do think the combat has to be superb in ME 3, just as every other aspect like customization, story, and hopefully some form of exploration, as it's going to close out up until this point an awesome trilogy, and I do want the best possible improvements and
changes no matter if it's combat/RPG/story or whatever. But the improvements I have seen, while a step in the right direction with weapon modifications being brought back as seen in some of the live demos for ME 3, they are pretty basic and most of the focus
up until this point is all on combat and nothing more. That of course could just be due to the venues most of the live demos have been showcased at, like E3 and Comic Con for example. But regardless.

I'm yelling at my screen "KILL HIM ALREADY!"

And people whine about bush wookies doing nothing.

 

To help you with this we urgently need more details on your network environment. Especially what router you use and what steps you have already taken.

 

I'm having the same problem done all the troubleshooting I could do call CenturyLink called Xbox I have CenturyLink z y x e l Wi-Fi router. They said all my settings were good to go for Xbox at my ISP could it be the console itself

 

Hi

To get an open NAT on your console certain ports need to be opened on your router to achieve this, please see the link below fore the ports that you need to forward.
