Thermal Clips - I don't get the hate for these things. Does anyone remember how much of a pain it was waiting for your gun to cool down in ME1? Now all you need do is eject the clip and you're ready to fire once more. It makes for quicker and thus more satisfying combat.
Ah yes, these figurative "Thermal Clips", Hmm.. i mean ammo.
the first was an RPG, if you pay attention to stats, and "crates", you will eventually, and pretty quickly start finding weapons that take almost 2 minutes to overheat. The thermal clips were just another way they dumbed it down for the masses, so the COD fans wouldnt have to worry about all those silly stats, RPG mechanics, and working to become a more powerfull protagonist.
Mission Complete Screen - I also prefer these to ME1's bland mission presentation.
ME1 and ME2 had the same mission complete thingy...a debriefing in the com room, if you mean the overall design of the maps and levels, Mass Effect 1 had better Presentation, due to the fact that it didnt just always put you in a linear hallways for every single mission like ME2 did. If you mean the Mass Relay end mission load screen, then yes, ME2 was much more pretty than ME1 in that sense.:-)
Loading Screen
- I'll take these over those monotonous elevator rides anyday.
Believe it or not, most of the loading screens in ME2, took just as long, or longer to load, than it took to ride an elevator in ME1, and how Bioware fooled some people into not seeing this is beyond me.
Hammerhead
- A vast improvement over the MAKO, which handled like a drunken sloth. My only wish is they armor it up a bit for the sequel.
Fair, any kind of vehicle would do.
No Inventory - I disliked ME1's inventory system greatly, and embraced ME2's streamlined (Dumbed Down) approach with open arms. That said, I'm not averse to having an inventory in ME3, so long as it isn't a pain to use.
Agree, ME1's Inventory could get pretty chaotic if not regularly checked and kept sorted, but that is what RPG's are all about. You have to use your brain when playing them. Never the less, i welcome a smoother inventory system if it means we can at least have one again.
@KaidanWilliamsShepard i like you sir.you know whats up.except the mako statement bu i understand your feelings on that...i counted the seconds for most of me1's evlvators and took about 20 seconds or so.me2 loading screen time was all over the place.sometimes only few seconds to 50 seconds.
