ME3 lacks parts where I can kill enemy infantry by knocking them down with a fast vehicle. I still giggle every time I do that in ME1 and 2.
I also giggle like a school girl when throwing people trapped in a singularity/pull and/or lift field with throw from ledges... only followed closely by shooting ME3's Cerberus personnel via headshots and killing Vorcha and Asari merchs in ME2.
I guess I need therapy as well...
Edit: How could I forget Vorcha pyros getting splattered in an explosion...

Asari?

But yeah, we're really missing a vehicle. Cerberus is always hilarious to fight, they're such try-hards

**** Cerberus.  It pisses me off to no end that the Reapers are invading and we spend more time fighting Cerberus than the Reapers.  All advanced life is being extinguished and we're dicking around with space age skinheads. WTF.

...  You know, it occurs to me that a Megalodon tank could probably take a Reaper destroyer.

Here's something from ME1 that I just picked up.  Keep in mind it relates to ME3's introduction:

Starships: Sensors
"Light lag" prevents sensing in real time at great distances. A ship firing its thrusters at the Charon Relay can be easily detected from Earth, 5.75 light-hours (six billion kilometers) away, but Earth will only see the event five hours and 45 minutes after it occurs. Due to the light-speed limit, defenders can't see enemies coming until they have already arrived. Because there is FTL travel and communications but no FTL sensors, frigates are crucial for scouting and picket duties.

Passive sensors are used for long-range detection, while active sensors obtain short-range, high quality targeting data.

Passive sensors include visual, thermographic, and radio detectors that watch and listen for objects in space. A powered ship emits a great deal of energy; the heat of the life support systems; the radiation given off by power plants and electrical equipment; the exhaust of the thrusters. Starships stand out plainly against the near-absolute zero background of space. Passive sensors can be used during FTL travel, but incoming data is significantly distorted by the effect of the mass effect envelope and Doppler shift.

Active sensors are radars and high resolution ladars (LAser Detection And Ranging) that emit a "ping" of energy and "listen" for return signals. Ladars have a narrower field of view than radar, but ladar resolution allows images of detected objects to be assembled. Active sensors are useless when a ship is moving at FTL speeds.

I am with you there lorewise, Rif.
But personally, I really enjoy fighting Cerberus gameplay wise. Reapers are okay and I do not really like Geth.

the gun was better than the mako, that i will concede 

Have you ever played ME1 on insanity? I doubt that. If you had - you wouldn't boast that "At least Mako was able to take some damage!".  In ME1 you were really better off fighting on foot than in the Mako.

Yep, glass cannon. That's how I play my Shepard anyway: Soldier with max points into weapon damage at the expense of health.

Glass cannon is really the way to go on insanity bot in ME2 and ME3 and higher difficulties in MP - on insanity (especially in ME2 in a NG+ mode) - there is absolutly know difference between having much health and shield and armor and not having it - you still die almost instantly if you take damage. So the only way not to die in ME2 insanity NG+ - is not to take damage. Once you understand that, and adjust your gaming style - you become invinsible. And not taking damage in hammerhead is a breaze comparing to that. 

I like your last two bits of advice concerning how to pilot the Hammerhead, and how to do Insanity: Just dont take damage.

Of course! Why didnt I think of that?!

Anyhow, the correct way to do ME3 insanity is to make it so bullets literally cannot harm you. Vanguard with +200% recharge is invincible roughly 99% of the time due to being invulnerable while charging and nova'ing.

Yeah, gameplay wise I prefer Cerberus... as long as phantoms aren't involved.  They're one of the cheapest enemies I've seen in 24 years of gaming.

Hey, I'm a long service infiltrator - that's how I roll. I just don't take damage. 

And by the way, ME3 insanity - is kindergarten. It is just pathetic.

2148 - Prothean Ruins were discovered on Mars

2149 - Translation of Prothean data leads humans to the Charon Mass Relay

Keep in mind the dates.  Mass Effect starts in 2183

This is like discovering a pile of bones, interpreting the data, publishing a paper and sticking the bones in a drawer.  Years later, rediscovering the bones and interpreting the data again then coming up with another paper

So in ME3, we re-discovered the Prothean ruins and re-analyzed the data that had already been started in 2148.

Another anomaly - The data from the Prothean ruins lead us to the Charon Relay.  That same Prothean ruins leads us to the Crucible

Yet another anomaly - if the Prothean ruins were really Prothean in design, would they not share that the Mass Relays are really designed by Reapers?  Also if full designs for the Cruicible were left at these ruins, wouldn't a Crucible, or remnants of one be left orbiting the solar system? (asteroid belt maybe?)

How about on the date of Shepard's birth since they already did his death? 2154 was when he was born

Yo.  Thought you guys might like this series of lines from Padok Wiks.  He's talking about the mental (in)stability of Salarian scientists working on projects with galactic consequences like the (Genophage).

"No mind is immune to the pressure.  We all fracture in different ways.  Mordin's conscience haunted him.  Maelon crossed the line into barbaric experiments.  And myself... I went searching for whatever gods created the rules for this unfortunate universe."

IT and end-foreshadowing could be gleaned from this little snippet, if your mind is so inclined...

If you listen further on in the conversation, you'll also hear Padok's thoughts on the problems of uplifting species too early, who gets to make such a choice and who should make that choice (Synthesis theme foreshadowed) and finally, about the patterns in the universe which, though they don't prove anything, do suggest that there is some reason and grand design when looking at things more closely.

Pretty nice IT stuff if you ask me

Yes but did you know Shepard was born in 2154?  That makes him 29 by the time ME1 starts

That's the reason why I like to play a character with stasis. Nothing feels so refreshing as blowing a phantom's head of that is trapped in stasis.

The pointing to the relay itself is not an anomaly since it is a huge part of infrastructure in that system.
BUT in these archives are also the plans for the Crucible. If we assume that the last entries in that archive were made during the war, then the Protheans should've known that the relays/Citadel are a trap. But maybe the data was not recovered due to damage or other barriers.

[Emperor_Ike]

Just magical. Started missing your motivationals; had to make an appearance.
And there's that whole Omega thing in a couple days. Not sure how I feel about it, but going to grab it anyway, just like Leviathan.

I reckon they wanted to do 2186 last time but missed it, so they did 2286 instead.  They won't make the same mistake twice...

Mako is awsome. I mean even on the hardest level I still beat it with my old good friend. Also it reminds me of Vega, and Steve agruing which one is better. Vega= Mako Steve= Hammer head.
