Yeah, a tech CCC would be pretty cool too.

I also agree about the shield down invincibility..it is kinda stupid. I'd remove that in a heartbeat. However, I'd make the shields a little more durable in return.

 The ME2 system is too focused on 'shield lost' moments of invincibility; having two 1-point shields is worth more than having one 200 point shield. This doesn't make any sense and it ruins powers like Barrier, Fortification, GSB (a 12 second cd adds like 0.12 seconds before shields pop when taking heavy fire - WTF?); it's also key to what makes TA (Assault specifically), Energy Drain and Charge so powerful.

That's right ...  when I see "Shield Upgrade 5 / 5" to me means the same as "Shield Upgrade 2 / 5" you could not feel the difference, for me Shield and Health Upgrades are just numbers in Shepard's Control Panel! Nothing more.

The powers that add a shield after use, are now the most useful powers in ME2 ... if the Energy Drain drained all kinds of protections, it would be best power in the ME2. Charge in my opinion is the best power ME2 today, because it can be used on any enemy (the Energy Drain can't do this) and has a cooldown low (less than the Assault Armor), you don't need rush to the enemy (as the Assault Armor) and still leave the enemy stunned. Perfect!

Greatly reducing or completely removing those 'shields down' moments and replacing it by a system that's focused on how many health and shield points one has (without changing the time it takes for enemies to take Shep down) would be better imo. Then it actually matters if one receives a big shield boost instead of small one, it would also make passives, upgrades, armor and equipment boosting health and shields much more useful and interesting.

Remember this too is only a simple example, the real deal is not about shield-regen, cooldowns or whatever. It's about survivability. The whole health-shield thing is nothing more than a system or indicator that shows how long you have before getting killed. And to be more Vanguard specific; what matters is not if Charge does or doesn't have a shield-regen feature - what matters is that Vanguard have enough survivability to do the things they are meant to do.

For the ME3 will need to be reviewed every part of protections and how you take damage on them, maybe even remove them... I don't know!
Today for me... having or not having protection does not matter to me, because I know they will be removed in less than 1 or 2 seconds!

This is a newer topic (also, this is my first post, I hope I don't sound like a child) but I think we should also talk more about weapon mods. I come from a shooter background, and I'm hopeful of use-changing mods for our weapons. I think I read somewhere that they're planning on having mods which can even change how certain weapons function... I think a great change would be to implement something like variable zoom. I think it would make the snipers a lot more balanced.
Also, I think it would be great if things like ammo powers (in new form) would be location specific (on the enemy) such as freezing a leg and reducing mobility, or lighting an arm on fire, reducing their ability to fire their weapon effectively.
Edit: One more thing, I think global cooldowns should stay. They allow us to use the power that's applicable, as opposed to the power that's cooled down. However, tech and biotics should operate on different cooldowns. This is especially important for sentinels; using your omni-tool shouldn't have any effect on biotics.

I would like to see a unique power for sentinel: a fusion of biotic and tech powers, like a warp + overload or energy drain + reave.
Vanguard: multiples charges or a charge just to move through the map.
Soldier: I'd like to see again immunity and shield boost.
Infiltrator: cloak pause.
Engineer: AI and Indocrination (for organics).

[Urazz]

For soldiers, I think concussive shot should be buffed up to be a bit more useful and should get the grenade powers in ME2 (with some tweaks to make them easier to aim). If some more powers are needed, I can see giving them a defensive power to increase their shields.

With Engineers, I think they can give them mines to set up ambushes and the like for a more tactical gameplay with them.

It's not "especially important" for Sentinels, it's only important for Sentinels.  No other class would benefit in any way, unless you include bonus power selection, which may not even be in ME3.  Sentinels are the only class with access to both Tech and Biotic powers.  The other hybrid classes have access to Tech or Biotic powers and Combat Powers.

While separating cooldowns in this regard might make sense from a lore perspective, it is a sloppy attempt at rectifying a gameplay problem that doesn't even exist.

I think this could actually be a unique and interesting high level evolution to the Sentinels base class that actually fits well into the lore. There may well be balance problems with it, the sentinel already has the biggest cooldown bonus.

Ground-pound's been mentioned in other threads; kind of like an outwardly expanding barrier that destroys enemies within range. Good for when you're swarmed.

I suppose I should have qualified a little more. I think doing this would allow the devs to balance out the problems with tech armor. If we separate the cooldowns, tech armor could only benefit from upgrades; i.e. keep the 12 second cooldown but allow the use of the offensive biotics... Might help with the casters. Either way, I haven't played sentinel, this is only speculation.

I do agree that Sentinels could use an overhaul for ME3.  As it is, Assault Armor is so good that you almost never want to use cooldowns on anything else, especially when you consider that it also recharges squadmate powers when you use it.  I don't think splitting up the cooldowns is the best option, though.

bioware HAS to split up cooldowns between techs, biotics, first aide, and prolly weapon mods too. theres no reason they shouldnt be split up. theres no reason i shouldnt be able to use lift after i use first aide. its actually quite stupid every thing you do besides shoot, is linked into one cooldown. it just doesnt make sense.

whats the reasoning for it?

The reasoning is gameplay.  You have to pick a power to use and then pay the consequences in the short cooldown.  I'm not saying it makes sense from a lore perspective.  Including Unity is a good point, though.  Split cooldowns would have an effect on that for all classes.

[The Spamming Troll]

it should change for no other reason then the fact that it doesnt make sense. i think gameplay would be improved if cooldowns were separated. comboing abilities is a huge factor in ME2. allowing for more potential of that aspect would be a good thing. im not sure if global cooldowns in such a great thing to start with, but really not being able to use unity immediately after i use pull, doesnt hurt gameplay. the sentinel would mainly be the only class that would be effected by a switch to separate cooldowns. but playing a sentinel SHOULD have that benefit. i just dont see anything bad with separating cooldowns. i only see good with a change like that.

It's a risk vs. reward thing.  I don't think global cooldowns are perfect, but I can see the reasoning behind them.  I don't think splitting cooldowns by classification would be an improvement.  Beyond that, what can you do?  I suppose another option would be to cycle skills so that you cannot use the same skill twice in a row, but that brings with it a host of other issues. 

We could return to an ME1 style, but I cannot abide the thought of minute long cooldowns anymore.  It would be interesting to see how ME1 style separated cooldowns would work if they were much shorter by default.  In any event, I don't see this happening as we'll probably have even more powers to juggle in ME3, which means that we'd always have something to throw out there.

[dbndzb]

I disagree with totally separate cooldowns. First, in terms of lore (in my opinion) it makes sense to have a global cooldown. Each time a biotic shoots a power, it's going to cost energy. Energy doesn't come in terms of singularities and warps, but physical fatigue.

Now for gameplay. I'm playing ME1 insanity adept right now, and I'm invincible. I get to use powers whenever I want, and they're all effective. Global cooldowns limit that. For one, I can't just shoot off a different power if singularity's not available, I have to choose the one that's most applicable because I'll have to wait to use any others.

But I still think tech should be separated from biotics. And I also strongly agree with your point about first aid. I shouldn't have to wait after healing a team member to throw a singularity out, etc.

And I'm thrilled about the weapons mod system, however they implement it, as well as weapon pickups. With ME going the shooter route as well, it just makes sense. I hope the mods are as good as I'm hoping... I really want to be able to manually decide between mid-range and long-range with my sniper. What do you guys think?

i dont see ME3 without global cooldowns too, but seperating specific "genres" of abilites would make complete sense and wouldnt change gameplay in a drastic way at all. unity could easily be put on a sepereate cooldown in the same way medigel was handled in ME1. id remove a cooldown alltogether with ammo powers.  the only potential problem is with the sentinel. honestly, i wouldnt even consider it a problem, id consider it a SENTINEL.

whats a major problem you see with using unity right after throw? or sabotage right after warp? or inferno amm after cloak? i see no problems with those type of options at all.

im getting the feeling you have no desire to see change in ME, even for the better.

So instead of grouping cooldowns based on their classification (Tech/Biotic/Combat), you would group them based on something else, something like functionality?  For instance, offense vs. defense.  Or perhaps skills would be grouped based on relative power level.  Concussive Shot, Throw, and Ammo Powers would fall under the basic power level category while potentially game-breaking skills like Barrier, Tech Armor, and others would be grouped under the advanced power level category. 

Yet another option would be to leave the grouping up to the player.  Players could put their powers into one of two groups.  Using a power from group A would put all of the rest of those powers on cooldown, but you'd still be able to use powers from group B.  So as an Adept you might want Pull in one group and Warp in the other.  None of these ideas really make sense in terms of lore, but I'm not really concerned with that.

I'd like to see how grouping cooldowns would work in the game.

That's something I need to be wary of.  If I'm not careful, I'll end up even worse than the ME1 apologists.

It makes perfect sense.  

Your suit runs off of a central power source.  So does your BioAmp and your Omni-tool.  Your suits battery can only run one at a time.  If you tried to run your Omni-tool and your BioAmp back to back, you'd fry out.  

Don't just say "it doesn't make sense" because you don't like it.

i think your trying to hard. thats also fairly confusing having categories that works with talent teirs. i would only separate skills based on classification alone. thats what currently doesnt make sense. it doesnt need to be any mroe difficult then it should seem. just separate techs and biotics on separate cooldown, maybe have a vertical splitting-circle that represents the tech cooldowns along with the horizontal one for biotics. put medigel/unity on an individual cooldown like ME1. remove a cooldown altogether for ammo mods. ....and were set. i wouldnt even put a "cooldown" on ammo mods. simply make the animation for it last as long as a 1 second cooldown we currently have. in a way make it more flowing in terms of gameplay instead of just putting every little thing we do on a cooldown.

also, i hope your not trying to belittle those who happen to be fans of ME1.

All in good fun.  I like that ME1 set the stage for ME2, but I think it's a pretty terrible game.  The story, the characters, they work for me.  The game itself, though?  Not so much.  But I'm derailing this thread now.

Well... unless you're playing as an Asari; humans need:

Bio-amps

Amplifiers allow biotics to synchronize the nodules so they can form fields large and strong enough for practical use. Amplifiers can improve a specific discipline or talent.

An implant is surgically-embedded interface port into which amps are "plugged in". On humans, the implant is usually placed at the base of the skull for convenient access, though the user must be careful to keep it free of contaminants.

and ME1 Armor mods to provide boosts to tech and biotics (along with AI Hacking for Tech Talents).

And so does ME2 Research for powers.

The bioamp was not connected to the armor in any way.  In ME1 in your armor you might get some small perks like reduced cooldowns, but that was not some direct biotic boost.  It was more like giving you a stream of performance enhancing drugs so you recovered from everything quicker.  

ME2, put the biotic and tech boosts in the armor which didn;t really fit, but I guess you can always go hey crap changed in those 2 years.

yea like i was saying the sentinel woud be the only class to see much of a change, but that would be the exact point of playing a it. it also depends on how bonus abilites andthe like are handled in ME3 as well. thers just no reason for it not to be on sepereate cooldowns. its almost too easy of a solution to a problem that some people have with the class setups. if your a person who uses their brain when playing ME and relies on lore or logic or waht have you, then this change would be great. if your a person like you who wouldnt even notice a differnece, then theres no problem at all. i dont know why this is even an argument you want to have. you seem to think its a step in the right  direction anyways.

amps are exactly that, they amplify your existing biotics. you cant hand someone a savant amp thusly allowing them to create master singularity. youd have to be on alot of red sand in order to even lift a pencil, ask niftu cal. you also cant really bring up something from ME1 as well as ME2 and try to convince me both senarios work hand in hand.

i remember armor mods like med exos that improve cooldowns and what not. sometimes i get tired of convincing people that i actually understand how ME works. but the dude was talking about a battery in my armor that gauges my ability usage........

also, i dont think you can consider inferno or dragon armor to be reasonable variables because they arent in the majority of ME2 players games.

ahglock, you are my hero.

This is how armor helped biotics in ME1.   " Armor equipped with stim packs releases targeted shots of adrenaline to speed up recovery and recharge times."  It was the armor mod I always got until the improved verison came out.  

And yes the armor pieces in ME2 helped, but ME2 ignored the lore for game play reasons in many places.  They never mentioned any changes, but hey we can handwave it I guess.
