I agree with a lot of what you expressed. ME2 does seem to be an RPG-lite compared to ME1, and personally I preferred the weapon cooldown and the much, much larger array of weapons and armor. I also liked having more skills to spend points on although ME2 is not quite as barren as I had initially feared upon closer inspection (upgrades help alleviate this issue to some extent, I'll give Ray that).
Read your post, but the part I left quoted reminded me of something I kept forgetting to mention about thermal clips.
I much preferred the cooldown system in ME1. Gave some strategy to using weapons. Sure, thermal clips make more sense from a warrior's standpoint, as you can get more shots downrange when you can reload in less than a second, rather than wait a few seconds for the weapon to cool down.
But, I think Bioware should have had both weapon cooldown and thermal clips in the game. That way, if your weapon overheated, you could simply let it cool down, or swap thermal clips. And, if you ran out of thermal clips, you wouldn't be screwed over 'til you found more.
Their logic being "If you don't have a thermal clip, you can't fire,' is idiotic. Weapons in the first game did it. They just had external heat ports, rather than an internal device that serves as a heatsink.
It'd make much more sense from a war perspective to implement both. Ammunition wouldn't be a limitation, and, if needed, the option to swap thermal clips is still there to give maximum rounds-per-minute.
Aye, not to mention that since they are still using metal pellet/rounds in the ME universe, any firearm that has a functioning firing chamber, a trigger to activate it and a barrel to propel the projectile out of (presuming the projectile has the necessary ingredients to propel itself - in our own world that would be gunpoweder, etc.) it would, as you correctly point out, fire. And for handguns and assault rifles it takes
quite bit more of unrestrained, near-constant firing before the barrels start to glow red-hot (I know from time spent in the military) than what we witnessed in ME1. Ah well, this is make-believe so what the heck. The thermal clip system does work, I just wonder what a fine-tuned overheating system (without thermal clips) might be like.
