Well, it actually does. When a target is frozen, all damage taken to them is increased. So after they are frozen, it's pretty useful.

Also, husks die after being frozen. Which is important for Engineers, Infiltrators and Soldiers as they don't have Biotic Powers.

As far as I'm aware, the Mattock and the Viper have the highest freeze rate. Well, maybe the widow and stuff too, but they'd probably die by then. It's very useful for Crowd Control. Cryo-Reave is an easy way of not dying, mainly used on Infiltrators.

I think he meant against defences. Once down to health, most ammos get some big benefits against enemies. Cryo isn't anything special in that regard. Plus they don't make enemies fall behind cover. The only ones that don't are either total crap (Shredder) or are just as effective against health as they were against defences (Warp, Tungsten)

I don't use Cryo Ammo, but I do use Cryo Blast. Engineers actually have a bit of a tough time *damaging* synthetics with powers, and I personally don't like to go through much ammo. So Cryo Blast helps me in that I can beat stuff to death relatively safely, or use fewer shots. It's also useful against Krogans (so much HP), those new bug enemies (resistant to fire), etc. etc..

I think ammo powers make a huge difference in killing enemies faster. When I played The Arrival in the room with Object Ro and I was an Engineer with no ammo powers, it took a lot longer to finish off the mercs and the mech.

I like to use it against husks and other enemies that like to rush you.

Squad Cryo Ammo kicks ass. It's so easy to freeze stuff too.

As an Infiltrator, no. I use the disruptor ammo and then pick Heavy Disruptor ammo at the branch. Cryo was much better in the first game, but even then I didn't use it.

I think these videos demonstrate fun and powerful techniques that are not possible without Cryo:
