If they create an Elcor husk, allow me to be the first to say "Oh god! Oh crap! Oh mommy help me!" Anyone who knows what thief I just quoted gets a cookie.

I am assuming that different husks will use different attacks, so there will probably be a Husk with a gun.

I loved taking on swarms of husks. Maybe not when you had scions in the back, then it sucked because you couldn't run OR hide (at least not for long) but taking on husk swarms was a nice break from the cover-and-shoot that was about 95% of the game.

I love the final swarms of husks on Derelict Reaper. Running and gunning around the whole room, so much fun!! Let's me use my favorite gun too, if I have it.

Well here's the thing:

Yeah General Zombies = Played out and quite boring.

BUT consider that . . .
A) The "Husky" enemies in ME2 that have unique abilitys, the big Back tumor/body guy (Abominations?) who shot shockwaves at you and the floating brain thing with a laser- did have different abilities. This means BioWare understands that solely having mindless zombie tactics doesn't work well for every type of husk, so they won't ALL be zombies.

Left 4 Dead/ Resident Evil 1-3. Just because you have zombies doesn't mean you can't mutate them into interesting variants that act dramatically different from eachother and bring new life to the concept.

What about essentially, a hunter husk? Or a Tank like Husk that's huge and hulking and charges you constantly like an Ogre? There are so many different possbilities to use that I honestly am not worried in the slightest that we'll get some really unique enemies out of ME3, and just within the Husk variety.

remeber the "fresh" Husks that gets out of the Dragon's Teeth in ME1 after leaving the excavation site? They acted just like any other brain dead husk. No, this isn't indoctrination and ME1's final bosss wasn't a Husk, but a "robot" controlled by Sovereign.

Dragons Teeth work by implanting reaper technology into the victim and only releasing them when it takes full hold. By the dragons teeth have been heavily hinted to be inferior to the actual reaper technology used to create husks.

Saren if I remember, had actually been implanted with reaper tech BEFORE going full robot. I can't remember if it was during virmirre or your first battle with him on the Citidel that he mentions it. Either way, you have at least one fight with a Saren influenced by reaper tech.

The tech then takes complete control over his mind and the final battle is against the fully zombified Saren.

WTB Hanar Husks. Now that is some nightmare fuel, right there.

Also, "dragon's teeth" husks are inherently things that were dead or dying when they got huskified. I think that making something that is still living a husk makes the tech work better. I'd imagine it's somehow related to why the Collectors needed living humans for whatever voodoo they do so well - you can make husks out of corpses quickly, but a slow-cooked husk can be more like a Scion, methinks.

One new husk has a cannon for an arm, and can still use his other hand to smack you. You'll be given the option to shoot the cannon to neutralize it, in which case, he'll start behaving like a normal husk, but he still has tons of protective pieces you can shoot off.

And that's not even half of the new strategies the husks will use in ME3. The old husks just serves as cannon-fodder at this point.

Yup, thanks for posting this quote too. Which magazine was this from again?

Yeah, not looking forward to it. Not looking forward to this whole increased focus on melee overall, as well as them being faster and enemies trying to close, not to mention gameplay being faster. I don't like how BioWare seem to want this to be more and more like every TPS out there and less RPG. I wish they hadn't listened to all the morons who kept harping on about wanting melee combat and the like and actually put effort into other areas.

Better gameplay does not equal bad rpg. They've taken suggestions and have made changes in all areas of the game so I don't know where you've gotten the idea that combat is the only thing they've addressed.

It's not GI, that's for sure. Must be the Dutch one......

I think there are about two-three magazines with that description at the moment.

One of them is Level, the Swedish magazine.

With the new melee moves I'm not worried at all about the husks. The hardest part about fighting them in Mass Effect 2 was that you only had one melee move if they got close and it wasn't very powerful. Also, one of my Shepard's is an adept so they aren't a problem at all with singularity, throw, and pull.

[Someone With Mass]

As long as Shepard doesn't take five years to recover from a husk punch, I'll be fine.

That guy was in the GI scan, I think. It looked like an enemy out of Doom or something, and from the description it  sounds like just another boring bullet-sponge enemy like the Scions to me.

I'll be amazed if husks do something other than run at you or lumber toward you while shooting or flinging a power.

What else do you want them to do exactly? Fly and spew rainbows? They're shock troops.... that what shock troops do. They go in, they kill, they keep killing, by brute force.

[TheConfidenceMan]

Anything else. Take cover, use tactics, do something other than RAWWWRRRRRRRR. Make half-husked enemies that still behave like cohesive units, or enemies like Saren who are indoctrinated and cybernetically upgraded, just not to the extent of being animals.

As it is they're just the equivalent of the Flood in Halo. A crappy enemy.

People tend to forget that the Collectors were essentially Husks, just more advance version of them. And if I remember correctly, Collectors had guns.

[Rurik_Niall]

Too bad for old Harby assuming direct control of said Collectors usually proved rather futile, what with him floating there for a few seconds, giving you ample opportunity to promptly put a Widow slug in his head. Hopefully if he assumes direct control of anything this time he has enough sense not to make them a living target in the process.

Here's another husk enemy: rachni husks with dual cannons that have dispersal pods all over their bodies that spawns other enemies when they bursts.

Or how about that one husk that eats other husks to become stronger?

I don't think variety is an issue.

Probably wrong but that sounds like the fat necromorphs in dead space, if you killed them the wrong way they burst and little critters came after you.

Edit
OH YOU MEANT WHAT SOURCE, NOT WHERE...YEAH...CAPS LOCK!

Look out!!! It's Terror_K riding the RPG High Horse of Truth and wielding the mighty sword of People Who Don't Think Like Me Are Morons! 

Seriously Kenneth are you going to do a repeat of your pre-ME2 doom 'n' gloom only to follow it up with a letter of apology once you play the game? it'd be awesome if you did it twice.

[Pwener2313]

^Ouch

[bald man in a boat]

On topic: I'm totally stoked about fighting more enemies. Should be nightmarish. Really, really want to see the different kinds and what they do.
