Yeah but forcing the player to use cover based shooting tactics, instead of allowing the equipment load out for the player to determine his play style, is no better. The equipment limitations then force the player to play one particular way, as opposed in the first ME, the player could play however he wanted depending on both his equipment and powers. You could choose to run head long into the thick of combat, or cautiously, gain ground, picking enemies off, the choice was ultimately up to the player, they weren't forced to pick a strategy or style. The current system is less flexible.
Plus I like my soldier to look like he's built like a tank when he's out on the battlefield.
You can say you had the option to hang back and play defensively in ME1, but it doesn't change the fact that if you built your character with even half a brain, you didn't need to use cover for well over half of the game.
I'm fine with being forced to use "cover based shooting tactics" because that is what the game is. And you still have options in ME2. It takes skill to stay out of cover (on higher difficulty levels), not easily acquired upgrades and bland loot.
