    Thank Odin they're adding variety in enemies! ME3 fixed the lack of weapon variety from ME2, but as if to balance it out, seriously lacked enemy variety. I'm thinking about coming back to ME3 multiplayer for a bit. My name is Mitlov there too...add me.

    not that in any of the games we had a lot of variety....

    first one basically geth, mercs, rachni and krogans, 2nd we have collectors and the occasional merc (the most interesting ones were vorcha), in the 3rd we had reapers and more reapers.

    For me the 1st had more variety, of all the sequels. In terms of more interesting weaponry I gave it to 3rd and in terms of everything regarding playability the 3rd is by far the best.

    For me, comparing single-player to single-player, the second was the most fun to replay. But the third has multiplayer which dramatically improves its replayability. Overall I agree with everything you said.

    yeah that mutliplayer is a killer feature, I loved to play it. Its problematic to say which title was the most fun to replay, given that I didnt like the story on the 2nd, I stop playing until I reach the end of the 3rd, and the 1st the campaign is extremely long if you play all the missions, and it could have more elevator banter. So I would give it for the 1st, but its a significant downstep in terms of playability compared to the sequels, the combat is thougher, because the enemies are tougher and the horrible cover system and how your squad mates never obey your commands and end up dead in the first 15s of combat, not that it was long anyway at max its 45s of continuous combat.

    Man, fighting the collectors is totally awesome. Nice change from the normal three types of enemies. Hopefully future DLC will add even more types of enemies...that adds a ton of depth to the game.

    Also, how about some Collector-based SP DLC?

    Scions, praetorians, drones, even swarms. Maybe a couple other types as well, but those spring to mind. Praetorians will mess you up; don't get close.

    Anybody tried the new Krogan Shaman Adept yet?
    Seems its the ultimate Adept if you like to shoot stuff, as it can carry a shotgun and still keep the cooldown up.

    I dont have it unlocked yet but Hulawafu (Origin ID Zymphad) got it.
    Add me as well, same ID as the username here: DEagleson.
    We got a Mumble VOIP server for chatting and its way better than the ingame voice chat.
