Yippee! Actually got a lot of respect for BioWare's ballsiness if this happens. Actually, and successfully, putting their players through indoctrination - brilliant.

I usually shoot their foot with infernal ammo, or wait til they get close and slot them, but... both strategies are pretty inefficient.
Adrenaline rush + sniper rifle works a treat. If you're not a Soldier, Pull works well too if you can bend it around the shield.
Adrenaline rush? AIM BETTER (also tactical cloak is a good aiming tool for infiltrators; being able to stand still and aim a shot without much fear of reprisal is powerful, especially if you upgrade it like I did to where the recharge time is damn close to your reload time)

There are only 3 endings, and Shepard ends up dead/presumed dead in all of them? And all your actions get boiled into a single counter to determine how much gets wrecked by the Reapers?
Fuck it. I've been a huge Mass Effect fan. I bought FUCKING PINNACLE STATION and even ENJOYED PLAYING IT. I don't give a shit about Deus Ex Machina endings or whatever, IMO that's part of the appeal of the series: it's a homage to old scifi stories. It's cheesy and awesome at the same time, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
But I can't have them take away Shepard's happy ending. I don't give a shit about what the galaxy looks like, imagination's better than knowing anyway. The characters though? I care about them. I want to know what happened to them. If they died, I want to have a chance to miss them. And I want Shepard to settle down with his/her LI.
Do you get ANYTHING about what happened to the survivors of your squad and friends?
