As many others have stated vanguards makes it a (fun) cake-walk no matter the difficulty. Unless I was insta-killed or gunned down by 2 turrets and a mob of enemies at the same time I simply couldn't die. With AOE charge and nova most units in the vicinity of your charge are most likely dead (heck, at the mid-end game my charge would kill basic mobs by itself).

It's definitely harder in my opinion.  I never played ME1 or ME2 on insanity, only on hardcore...and I am determined to finish ME3 on hardcore on my first playthrough.  The number of times I've died has made it into the double digits now (after 15 hours of play)...and seeing as I only died once on four playthroughs of hardcore on ME2 and three times on two playthroughs on ME1, I'd say Bioware took it up a notch.

I think it was the correct play.  Being that it is the endgame, might aswell crank up the difficulty so once you get good at it you still have a challenge.

I played ME1 and ME2 on casual. Im currently playing 3 on casual. 3 is a lot easier than the others. Seems like most missions I dont even need to use cover. My next playthrough I'm gonna do insanity. Oh god, I don't even want to think about Genophage cure mission on insanity.

Played insanity on first run of all three games. ME3 is only harder in the sense that it makes u use your head more when playing, think like a tactician + also the speed of combat is faster. But otherwise it's not that much harder than ME2.

[alex13abc]

 Playing on insanity right now. The game is harder than the previous ones but it's very manageable if you make good use of squad powers. Right now my combo is Liara's stasis + a few shots to wear shields down + Edi's incinerate and keep blasting during the whole thing. 

The only thing that irks me is that my squadmates don't seem to realize that grenades hurt you as they keep standing on the same spot waiting for grenades to explode.

Normal difficulty is pretty easy; playing as a Soldier, 15 hours in and zero deaths. Probably should pump up the difficulty but I don't want to experience "Clive Barkers Jericho"-syndrome again. ^^

I played the whole game except the last 2 fights on Insanity. Because of the damage sponges [reaper heavy infantry / heavy troop transport] and the [as far as I can tell] infinite goon spawns was just too annoying for my Soldier to deal with.

Note: I don't have very good game skills so I figure the folks that do have good skills need the higher difficulty. Also there was almost always an approach to each fight which turned it from impossible to merely "difficult" IMHO.

[Batxa]

Normal difficulty with an infiltrator was easy, bu I'll admit that at times I had to use the abilities of the squadmates.

 I think its about right in terms of difficulty tbh. What will DEFINITELY get you killed is if you use the same tactics as ME1 and ME2. I have found out that you CANNOT stay behind cover and treat it like a glorified version of Duck Hunt. The AI will flank you and flush you out with grenades. You just have to adapt and keep moving. I have been slammed a few times with multiple Banshees and the like but the next time round I realise what it is I did wrong and kick them in the proverbial. 

 The best idea is to use combo powers. A sniper rifle with the concerntration and smoke filter mods plus freeze ammo is brilliant for exploiting combos. Flash freeze plus incinerate causes a lovely explosion. Warp plus concussive shot is also quite fun. My personal fave is lift grenade followed by a rapid sniping session. A Mob helplessly  floating upside down plus a direct headshot is just SOOOOO satisfying

 I would suggest experimenting with the squad you use and try and plug any gaps in Shepards arsenal or think about what powers would compliment yours. If you are an all guns blazing type then for instance Tali can run interference with her drones and Liara can keep them debuffed with biotics. Try and remap your powers to quick buttons depending on the situation and map L/R on the D pad to something useful like stasis/warp etc. A banshee isn't quite so tough held with maximum stasis. A few well placed salvos from machineguns with disruptor ammo soon rips through the barriers then some sticky grenades and salvos of incinerate takes care of the armor.

Also how many weapons are you carrying? Don't forget anything over 2 or 3 will actually give you negative recharge on your powers. I`m quite happily banging out incinerate approx every 3/4 seconds which panics enemies and rips armor. My power recharge is +162% as I'm only carrying a Sniper rifle,machineguns with the light materials mod and a backup pistol. Also pick a USEFUL bonus power in the med bay. IMO slam is the best. It hits approx 8/10 mobs and bounces them up a good height in the air. Once they are up there hit the power wheel while they are in your sights and pick 3 powers that will hit them at the same time. If the triple salvo plus the damage of being smacked into the floor doesn't finish them then I dont know what will.

Next  upgrade your weapons to Mark V as fast as possible and I would say mod ALL your weapons with +damage and +accuracy. Apart from sniper rifles which imo should have +concerntration (for slo-mo sniping) and the smoke filter.

Just for ideas I would say the following (so far) are the best to use in terms of rate of fire/accuracy/damage which I beleive are the three KEY stats.

SNIPER RIFLES                             ASSAULT RIFLES                 SMGS                SHOTGUNS             PISTOLS

INCISOR (3 shot salvo)                  PARTICLE RIFLE                HORNET                GRAAL SPIKE        PREDATOR
JAVELIN (shoots through               GETH PARTICLE                TEMPEST              THROWER             ARC PISTOL
cover)                                         RIFLE  (INSANE ROF)                                                                  CARNIFEX

Obviously this is all subjective but I fimly beleive ammo increase/thermal reduction/melee damge/shredder mods etc are a big fat waste of time. There seems to be no percentage in a large ammo clip if you could replace that with a mod that does 25/30% extra damage per shot. As for 35% armor penetration at a 50% loss of power ?? Pfft ... If you haven't got warp/freeze/inferno or armor peircing ammo on your weapon then BOY have you made a bad choice of character.

Hopefully you can take this in the friendly spirit it is meant. I am GENUINELY trying to help people who are maybe going `ARRRGGGGHHHHHHHH` and running round in circles. I really like ME3 and think it is a worthy finish to an interesting and sometime slighty bumpy trilogy. I certainly will be hard pushed to think of any other game character that I have invested so much time in and seen the tragic results of what I sometimes think is the `right` or `moral` choice.

Anyhoo I hope I have helped and maybe given people something to think about.

Umm could I please have whatever bit of armor you have that does that to your health/shield power and shield regen? :innocent:

Oh and does the above apply on the Asari temple/Krogan DMZ missions and Geth Destroyer??

If so you are a gaming GOD and I bow down before you....

Monkey1969 those are some good tactics, being in normal mode I can, as you said, play it as a glorified game of duck hunt. Not real problems, except banshees, there I have to run. lol

Although I am sure on the replay when I go to the next harder setting I'll have to be a little smarter with my tactics.

Here is a question for you: or for anyone who can answer:
You said: Also pick a USEFUL bonus power in the med bay.

I am curious if I took the bonus power of for example marksmanship , does that replace one of my powers, or do I get that in addition to my current powers?

[Varuuth]

one bump for my above post, then off to play more mass effect 3.

[AxholeRose]

Can't believe so many people fell for the troll.  Played insantiy on 1 and 2, having trouble with normal? hahaha, you can stand out in the open in normal and not die, so long as you duck back into cover if there's too many enemies at once.

The enemies are far weaker than the ones in ME2. The Collectors were far more annoying. Maybe its because i already played MP alot on the demo, i'm used to the cerberus enemies. Only time i remember dying was that one mission with the banshee spams. one crept up near me while i was blasting another.

All Mass Effect game on normal or harder can be tricky do to what seems like level spiking

[ValendianKnight]

Meh, I'm playing Hardcore and I'm debating switching it to insanity, it's far too easy.

The Bonus powers are unlocked by having enough converstions with each team member. They dont replace any of your other powers and just fill a spare slot on your power wheel. You pay 5000 credits to buy it and then just invest skill points as per normal. You can change the power by paying another 5000 but not sure if you lose the invested skill points in it or not.

[Varuuth]

thanks :-) i am not sure which power to take as an adapt, but at least i know i can experiment :-)

[Gigamantis]

I'm playing a soldier on insanity my first run and it definitely has not been easy. This is the first time I've ever played a ME game, or a shooter in general, on console and I don't think I'm very good at it.

It seems a lot harder to get shepard to take cover than ME2 on my PC did; it's very hit or miss whether he'll just roll away or stand there doing nothing. I'm really bad with a joystick, though, so I'm probably just not getting shepard into position accurately enough before hitting the all-purpose action button.

Still, the AI seems much smarter and they've got some pretty frustrating tricks. Very fun game, though, once I get better skillfully taking things out will be immensely satisfying.

[ninemarrow]

 I enjoy the diffuculty, makes you not rush through and ruin a game, and you have the narrative which makes you basiclly unkillable, so.

[Paragon_Sheppard]

Even insanity is easy for me.

-polite
-not being sarcastic

[magicalpoop]

Cleared the game with the same thing I've been using from the beginning (More or less)

Insanity

Shepard - Soldier with full auto rifle (ALWAYS FULL AUTO)
Garrus - Sniper duty
Liara - Biotic duty

Essentially combat is waiting for Adrenaline rush and popping that and then staying ducked until it recovers. It's otherwise impossible IMO (as a soldier) to do anything else. One soldier can mow you down in a few seconds if they get a good attack on you on Insanity mode.

I'll admit, I had to cheese through some of the areas to beat em. i.e. when you save Grissom Academy, some of the room clearings were harsh. I just stayed in the corridor and lead the stupid guardians/centurions into the corridor. It was just impossible doing that area with an ATLAS launching missiles at you with Guardians dropping from the sky.

But yeah it's hard, I probably have over a few hundred deaths/reloads. But I like the challenge, it made up for the horrendous ending.

After playing through WItcher 2 on hard and Dark Souls... ME3 was a BREEZE.

The Witcher 2 was really easy.  Dark Souls was a pita, though. 

[H2O]

In the beginning definitely thought it was harder (I played on hardcore), however as time went on and I found weapon upgrades I found it to be easier, although that might have been because my last playthrough of ME2 was on Insanity.

The few times that stuck me as being much harder were when multiple Banshees showed up.

Witcher 2 was really easy? Lol, you're the first I've seen to make that claim! I know they were planning on releasing a patch to make normal easier, maybe you played after that.
