 We have a winner: The Engineer. It came down to a coin toss, and Engineer won. But don't worry, I'm going to do some stuff for Assault Sentinels too.
I'll be going to be updated the OP whenever I get a new video up, and I'll be posting specific strategies in the comments section below. If you have any requests let me know and I'll definitely do it.

Also, I'm going to be trying a few new things this guide, one being really improving the clarity of the audio (less background noise and less popping). I'll also be doing more sections, and maybe a Live video or two, where I talk while playing a section.

Mordin's Recruitment:
Part 1 / Build, Basic Tactics  
Part 2 / Mid-Level, Krogan Killing
Part 3 / The Fans

Arcangel's Recruitment:
Part 1 / Mercs
Part 2 / YMIR and Bloodpack
Part 3 / More Mercs, Enemy Types

Horizon:
Part 1 / Build, Equipment, and the Avalanche
Part 2 / Flanks, Combat Drone, Incinerate VS Cryo
Part 3 / Defensive, Offensive Play, Avalanche Destruction
Part 4 / The Husk Rushes, Scions, and the (somewhat) Invincible Room
Part 5 / Harbinger and the Praetorian

Tali's Mission (Live)
Part 1 / Getting the Tempest
Part 2 / Hacking Left and Right
Part 3 / Geth Colossus pt. 1
Part 4 / Geth Colossus pt. 2

Collector Ship (Live):
Part 1 / Two ways to fight the Collector Covered Platforms
Part 2 / Bad Cover


Let me know what you think.

You made it look so easy.

Mordin's Recruitment
 Part 2 / Mid-Level, Krogan Killing

In this section, I take on the Bloodpack in full force. I show off how the combat drone will go anywhere, and how cryo works to absolutely decimate Krogan.

I actually had to have 3 points in overload (rank 2) before I could even use incinerate. So not by choice hehe.

Great as usual, very informative and I can see how much effort you put in to these.



Two questions - why geth shield boost, and which bonus weapon will you choose?

[thisisme8]

Great video. 5 stars. Have a couple of things here:



Even if the Incinerate doesn't do extra damage (not sure), it still benefits from good base damage plus DoT x2 for being frozen. That's usually enough. Very lethal 1-2 combo for the Engineer.



Your strategy in the first room is spot on to mine. By moving to the right, you force the spawns to follow and that corridor has little cover for them as they approach while maximizing your cover while you "Hold the Line" (gotta love Kirrahe). Jacob was also in the perfect spot to benefit from Evi's range, and I usually leave Miranda in the middle section to whittle the defenses of anyone moving in from the left.



Oh, and imagine how much damage that melee would have done with the right shoulder pads.... So much great stuff. As always, Cryo = awesome for me and this vid had plenty of it. Spread the word!

bump cause it's a Gatsby Guide!!!

[Divine Flame]

Gatsby this is in the wrong area.

[Average Gatsby]

 Here it is:
Part 3 / The Fans

The final part of the mission with the fans. I almost die trying to be aggressive and beast, instead of using my tank, Jacob, to go out in front. I also talk about some of my build plans and why I don't use bonus powers. And let me just say I'm not saying that they aren't fun period, but just that they aren't fun for me to have shepard use.

[Average Gatsby]

  Alright so, as already stated, I've got part one of archangel's mission up:
Archangel Part 1

This run was originally going to be another live run like the end of my
adept video but my commentary during the gameplay was really
lackluster. So I'm redoing it, but it will still be one solid no-deaths
run. Not so much Cryo from shepard this time, but lots of Mordin's
cryo, which is amazing as you will see.

Also, if you guys want I can do Okeer or Jack's missions, but I'm thinking about just pushing ahead
to Horizon for now. At this point you'll have seen plenty of anti-merc videos so I might as well get to collectors.
I'm having a blast with this engineer. In my opinion, this is probably the most fun designed "caster" classes because of the diversity of abilities. And also an awesome improvement from the first game. Now if only they brought back grenades so I could make explosive traps...

[Average Gatsby]

 Part 2 of Archangel's Recruitment

The audio is about a half second behind or ahead (I forget which) the images on the screen. This was because I did this all in one playthrough and because of the way I edited. I was able to fix this in part 3 so sorry about that.

I'm taking on Jaroth and his YMIR, as well as the Halls of the Bloodpack in this section. Also Mordin is a beast.

[Average Gatsby]

  New Video
Part 3 / More Mercs, Enemy Types

Besides more merc killing, I talk about my "Enemy Tiers" theory, which I may go into later in a collection video, trying to explain my methodology behind using what move for what enemy. I'll be pushing on to Horizon today.

[LUCYM0N0]

I'd be interested to see how the fight on Horizon goes. The battle with the collectors and the Praetorian stand in my memory as being the single most difficult section of the game.

[Average Gatsby]

 Horizon:
Part 1 / Build, Equipment, and the Avalanche

This is going to be my most extensive guide yet as the Engineer. Horizon is no question a tough fight, and I'm going to be showing you how to use the Engineer in multiple ways to get through the various sections. I'm also, as always, trying to play this class as it was designed, and I think what you'll see is really close to how the engineer is described in the class trailer videos. Also, lots of Avalanche love. Its a fantastic light enemy weapon.

I also want to thank GekoTH for posting the Cerberus color theme. I'm with Cerberus.

[Average Gatsby]

 Part 2 / Flanks, Combat Drone, Incinerate VS Cryo 

In this section I go more in depth on the theory behind the way I use the combat drone. I also talk about why I use Cryo or Incinerate it a given circumstance. I'll be talking about explosive vs attack drone as well and what I'll eventually choose.

[Average Gatsby]

 Part 3 / Defensive, Offensive Play, Avalanche Destruction 

In this section I'm going to show two different approaches to the first fight with Harbinger; Defensive Ranged play and Offensive Aggressive play. Also I have some pretty awesome examples of why the Avalanche rocks when used correctly.

[trucoolbrees]

Great video, keep up the good work.

[Average Gatsby]

 Part 4 / The Husk Rushes, Scions, and the (somewhat) Invincible Room 

In this section I fight Harbinger a second time, mainly using a room that (mostly) prevents Shepard from being flanked or hit by the scion's shockwave. I then fight the wave of husks and scions before hacking the central terminal and causing the end of the mission.

[Average Gatsby]

 Part 5 / Harbinger and the Praetorian 
The final fight on Horizon. I play a bit more aggressively in this section than I perhaps needed too and it gets me in a bit of trouble, but thats what Medi-Gel is for. Drone does its best to attack Praetorian but proves to be mostly useless.

I've said it in my Adept Videos, but the best tactic for taking on the praetorian is to not let shepard get locked into cover. The Praetorian will only fire if it has Line of Sight, which it can aquire if your locked into cover and standing on the edge of a wall or crouching behind a box. However, if your simply standing behind a wall without being locked in, the praetorian has no Line of Sight and you can easily dart back and forth to avoid getting hit by the eye-beams.

[vhatever]

These replays looks like you are using some sort of speedhack to slow down the game, then later increasing the replay speed.



You make a whole host of really dumb mistakes, like popping out of cover when you are in deep red veins.



Your first hack is also very suspicious. You click down before you even could have noticed the color patter on the code, let alone saw the matching code you wanted to click.





Speedhack is pretty lame, man.

[GM23]

Accusing someone of speedhacking, because he can actually play is really lame....

[vhatever]

It's pretty obvious he is using a speed adjustment to alter replay time. Look at all the times he hacks/bypasses stuff. His cursor jerks.

I've been playing FPS way too long not to see tell tale signs of it. If you can't see it, you are either really dumb or really young in the ways of video games. Heh.

I don't thik he's that great actually. Mediocre, at best.

Cryo is trash for an engi.

looks fine to me.

Perhaps you could link your engineer video's so we can all see how its done "properly"
