Hey guys I've just created a class video sticky for this forum. To get things rolling on getting some cool class videos in there, I'm going to specifically solicit for Engineer videos! I'll do other threads for other classes later on. In about a week I'll harvest the best videos posted. They'll be attributed to you, granting you fame beyond your wildest imagination!

You don't have to post a video to participate. If someone posts a video that you like, please comment on it. Suggestions for what would make for an awesome engineer video are also welcome.

There are two categories I'm looking for: Insanity and Veteran.

Qualities of a good class video. You don't have to follow all of these but it helps.

• Real time play. Pause and play occasionally is fine but most of the time should be in real time play.
• Show off a variety of class powers and weapons. Videos focussed on specific tactics are fine, but I'll be more inclined to pick videos that show using the right power for the right situation.
• No bonus powers. Bonus powers are great and are part of the game, but they don't show off the core abilities of the class.
• Only weapons you'd have at that point in a first playthrough. So don't show your new game + guy using an assault rifle on krogan acquisition. Overall I prefer non new game plus videos since they show more of the core experience that a player will have on a first playthrough.
• Videos should be at most 2-3 minutes long. They don't have to show a whole level, just a couple cool fights.

Have fun! I hope some awesome engineer videos get posted.

Small question... but how about editing? Various effects and such could be added through editing of course and would that be good (if properly done) or preferred to have a 'clean' video?

Also. I have a small visual problem that creates various green dots from time to time. Would this ruin my chances of making a 'good' video? (Already have numerous ME2 videos on YouTube like say this:  and if you look closely you can see the problem I am talking about)

I just started a new engineer before going to bed this morning (I work nights), unfortunately dominate is one of my staples right now and it's a bonus ability. Oh well.

[Haasth]

Going to make a small compilation of some insanity combat. Just started a new one - wanted to make a 'main' Engineer - in which I want to try out some different import choices too... so I'll record some Engineer gameplay while I'm at it and make a small compilation.

I'm curious to see these vids. The few Engineer vids I've seen so far have mostly consisted of Combat Drone's, but I'm sure you guys can think of something more interesting.

[Trefecka]

I must say I'm also interested to see what people come up with. I'll admit when I played the engineer it was either dominate-centric or essentially drone spam. Can't wait to see a more exciting engineer strategy at work

engineer sucks, his "extra armour" is USELESS for 95% of the game.

I think you got the Engineer confused with the Sentinel. (Which, from my observations on Hardcore, was not slightly close to 'being useless')

You have the classes mixed up. Sentinel is the one with tech armor, which is far from useless to begin with. However, if you are indeed speaking of Engineer, I will have to disagree with you. I am on my fourth playthrough and Engineer is by far the most fun and most dominate class I have played with. Their powers add a lot of utility in comination with your squadmates.

However, a lot of people underestimate the class (Adepts can be put here too) mainly because their playstyle differs from other classes. Soldier, Infiltrator, Sentinel and perhaps Vanguard's playstyle has you focusing more on your combat while Adept and Engineers rely on the combinations of you and your squads.

Few questions:

1) Should we take advantage of ally powers or use just our own?

2) N7 armor only?

3) & 4) What level are you looking for? How far into the game are you looking for? I mean should we pick one of the last fights (where it's spoilerific) or one of the first (when you wouldn't have many abilities)?

I'd personally say this is up to yourself, no? I mean... taking advantage of ally powers could create interesting moments but it could also dull the movie and disrupt the Engineer attention. I don't think wearing any different armor would cause problems... Though I'll stick with N7.. because you can customize it. And level... well I won't start recording yet (Just got out of Freedom's Progress) because right now combat isn't that exciting. 

[GCreature]

I dunno, as long as Allies powers are used in real time and not overly used it'll only enhance the game. The game is built around using a squad after all, so it's important to see how a class fits in with that. Take Gatsby's Adept videos for example, there's some great squad combos going on, which makes the videos that much more enjoyable.

Any preferred resolution? Got a few things recorded in 1920x1200. Normally render vids in 720p HD quality.

[Average Gatsby]

Dear Forumites: I have something for you:

Engineer Insanity Montage 1

Plenty of cool cryo action here. Also it may still be processing, but it is recorded in 720p, so when its done it'll come up. Also using my fav song again.

[Haasth]

Arr! Beat me to it. Currently rendering. Got some strictly versus organic footage.

Will probably get some synthetic footage tomorrow, if I get there tomorrow.

[lazorexplosion]

I was going to make one a couple of days ago just to show off how underrated and awesome engineers are but fraps lags so bad. Dammit.

[Radahldo]

I liked your use of cyro freeze, especially with the Krogan at the end. The Engineer always felt somewhat matador-like. Cyro blast and the drone really expand on that sentiment.

[Verilligo]

Loooove the bits where you used Overload on the Blood Pack Pyros, Gatsby. Nothing like setting off an explosion in a mass of enemies.

Those were indeed some good bits. Shame I forgot to do them myself.

Intense gameplay there... I'm intrigued.  Like the use of your drones against the YMIR.

[Haasth]

Got one up: Engineer versus organics, insanity.

All Omega footage. Planned to start off with the Mech fight too but I figured I'd reserve that for a synthetic video which I'll probably make later. 

Currently processing and looks horrible. It's 720p so the HD quality is coming in slowly.

Excellent Vid. Might compel me to begin my Engineer tonight,
