Needs to be able to use the SMG.

Any class can carry any weapon. The mods available to each weapon type are where they really become differentiated. The SMG is really important now for classes that rely heavily on power gameplay or where heat sink capacity becomes a problem. In fact two mods are available now for SMGs that increase their ability to fire longer and run out of heat sinks less. Every class can carry 5 weapons, BUT there is a really big penalty to doing so if you are playing anything but a Soldier. Generally in my Adept runs I like to take a Tempest and a Carnifex. I leave the bigger guns to Garrus, James and Ashley. In fact I have done entire Adept runs with just a Predator. The balance around the number, type and specific weapons you take is really feeling nice and adding a lot of interesting choice to weapon selection. More to come later. Jarrett had me do an entire BioWare TV episode just on RPG mechanics, which is coming out soon.

My take on the Soldier is that with the new system he feels more balanced but cool because he can carry an assortment of really awesome firepower. For the power classes you can take a Katana Shotgun and have it feel balanced. Now if an Adept wants to lug around a Claymore etc then the pain train does pull into the station. However the choice is yours and their are passive powers that allow you to offset the penalties to a greater and lesser extent depending on class.
