Ok, I heard the Turians are good. I hope Bioware is still working on the others characters before releasing them

"The volus are not physically cut out for combat, be it a full-scale war or even a bar room scuffle. As such, they are highly dependent on the turians for defense, although the volus themselves do provide some auxiliary troops to the Hierarchy. The volus will support the turians in any war they might pursue, and the turians will do the same for the volus."
So basically they can be in combat, but they suck at it, and they're stuck doing mostly support to those around them.
Them being in an elite group of soldiers is more for:
1. Desperation for anyone useful, due to Reaperz
2. Some are probably quite good, but a small minority of the volus overall
3. Gameplay. Multiplayer. *insert Shep face* Deal With It.

Volus = silly...the only way they would have been able to save it, was if there was a volus class called the Wooists, and they yielded the mighty ban hammer...but alas it was not to be saved.

It has come to my attention that many of you don't want to accept the Volus into your ranks. You see them as weak and ineffective. You see them through the very same lense the Reapers see us.
The fact of the matter is, we need the combined strength of every race to even stand a chance against the Reapers. We aren't winning this if we aren't united. Despite a lack of physical prowess, the Volus are proving themselves highly capable in support roles. Underestimating them in a time of need would be the worst mistake we could possibly make.
I'm here to talk about Volition. It's an act of will. Of resolve. The Volus could have sat on the sidelines while the galaxy burned and noone would have blamed them for it. But they won't sit on the sidelines. The price of inaction is just too high. Their best and brightest want to fight of their own volition. To do everything they can to help win this war.
There's no good reason to believe they wouldn't be slaughtered, and yet they are fairing better than most projections. Their determination in the face of such adversity is an inspiration to us all. They fight because they have hope. Because there's something in this galaxy worth fighting for. Don't forget who the enemy is. We can't afford to turn down any help we can get.
Stand fast. Stand strong. Stand together.

Some of the other classes that came with the pack, but that aren't unlocked yet - look very intersting...at least from the descriptions - like the Asari Sentinel!

I love you Bill.
"I don't think auto-kicking of Volus is something that's gonna stand the test of time. Right now it's just trolling, plain and simple. Give it a week and people will stop caring anymore.
Besides, they've done a pretty good job with the Volus (so far. Curious as to how Vanguard will work) fits with lore. They're not heavy combat units. They're role isn't to run around like the Fury and light mooks up. Their roll is to run around, healing units and getting the eff outta dodge. Their light melee is a little cloak, for pete's sake. These aren't fighters. They're putting their lives on the line to do as much as they can (the little that can be) to fight for the cause. I think it's pretty cool.
I'd love to see a Volus at the top of any MP match, but I think that'll be rare to see." -Rockpopple
EVERYONE is in this war.
If IT is true, we'll need EVERYONE to strike back. Retaliate.
EDIT: And it is also pretty clear that the Prothians failed not just because of the Citadel sneak attack, but because they kept the other races DOWN in order to keep themselves in CONTROL of the galaxy.
THIS diverse galaxy is exactly what is needed in order to crush the Reapers, in at least an IT evolution of the story, in an expansion, or new ME4.

I know, but I want BW to give them a new appearance instead of reusing the same outfits we already have. Thats kinda lazy and disappointing

Yes, because being able to pull a trigger totally means you're qualified to take on hundreds of the enemy's elite troops with only 3 allies. I see it all clearly now!

Did you see their abilities or just lol at their appearance?
They keep everyone else alive, a more pure support role. (but again, I'm worried about the idea of Volus Vanguard..)

Thats why I say 4 Volus is a bit much, the Adept and Engineer are ok but why not make a Salarian Medic too?

Oh totally. 4 Volus is likely pretty lame, except for the lulz.
But 1? I think that's fair, given their skills in the game.
Salarian Medic would be nice.

No, but with a top of the line suit and Biotic powers rivalling a Asari Commando or Tech Powers rivalling a Quarian Engineer anyone would be a fool to take you lightly. Nothing in the lore tells us the Volus should be unable to achieve the same power as the greatest Biotics and Tech users and the fact is that Volus is only in Biotic and Tech roles.

But I'm also inclined to blame the Volus if the rest of the new characters are reusing the same outfits we have now in the MP

I really liked how a few days ago, pro-volus crowd was saying "sure it'd be stupid if they were just in regular suits, but I'm sure they'll be in mechs or <insert elaborate protection measures here>"... Now what have we got? Regular ol' volus in regular ol' suits. And the defense of the lunacy is now "so what? other characters survive bad stuff!"

Wow, a lot of catching up to do. I always figured the Volus were included out of desperation, canonically. We can't afford to turn them down. In the real world, of course, it's because players wanted to play little short fat guys with biotic powers and mechanical expertise.
Regarding the C-Sec sign and the beam, I always thought that the light was in fact a lens flare reflection of the Widow Nebula. I hadn't noticed that the insignia itself also matched the decision chamber layout. Good catch.
EDIT: The Cerberus Insignia is also a negative image of the decision chamber layout.

So far I've unlocked the new Turian Infiltrator and Solider and the Volus Adept and Engineer. The Volus actually aren't that bad, sure they're fragile but I'm sure if they're played right they're okay. Hilarious to play as well, can't stop laughing when ever I see them do a combat roll. The two new Turians however are freaking awesome.

What if we petitioned BioWare to patch the Volus so that they deflate messily when they bleed out?

The turret on the N7 Destroyer dosent turn of as they bleed out and die, which can lead to some hilarious moments as you kill enemies from beyond the grave.

If you are a vanguard and die mid charge your 'corpse' will kill the enemy you charge into.
I am soo looking forward to seeing a Volus Vanguard!
