Cool. As you know, I have all the finesse and tact of a drunk ballerina in a minefield.

LOL! Yep so while the enemy swarm you I'll take off their heads. I must say scoring a headshop only to see the guys head explode like a melon when it hits the pavement from the 9th floor is AWESOME!!!!

I may lack a degree of sophistication on the battle field, yes.

Once you get this baby:

M-96_Mattock.png


or a decent shotty you will actually fair better up close.

The M-96 Mattock (Pictured above) has the punch of a sniper rifle without the scope and the semi-auto rapid fire of a assault rifle. It is pretty much the Designated Marksman Rifle of the Mass Effect universe.
 
Random Mass Effect Trivia:

In Mass Effect 2, Donovan Hock, the Big Bad from Kasumi's loyalty mission has an accent some fans find hard to place. It is actually an Afrikaans accent.
Which doesn't excuse the fact that he also voices the Scottish engineer and the typically quasi-Eastern European quarian Veetor. The latter can be excused because it's not a real accent, but the Scottish is really rather poor.
Well, of course it is - he's a reference to Scotty, who himself had a gratuitous fake accent.

It's almost as bad as the De Caprio Afrikaans Accent from Blood Diamond.

I remember that Afrikaans accent. I dunno why they like to voice smugglers with these accents. It's like people with Afrikaans accents can only be high level criminals... :p

A remnant of South Africa's checkered past, same reason the nazi's/communists are still prominent bad guys.

The best afrikaans accent was done by Ryan Phillipe in the movie Bang Bang Club. He pretty much nailed it.
 
Well the Shit just hit the Hyperdrive over here. UK biggest game retailer, GAME, wont be stocking any edition of Mass Effect 3. I learned this via IGN UK. I had pre-ordered mine back in December and this development has left me in a mad dash to find a replacement as Amazon (<3) doesn't stock the N7 edition as game has a monopoly on it. Managed to find one on Play.com but it says 3 - 5 day delivery so I don't know if I will be getting it on time. :'(

Shame man, I'm almost in the same boat except in my case it was my fault...
 
Hope my N7 edition is safe. Luckily I ordered a few days before they announced it out of the stock.
 
Omega - With new game releases it should be at your door the day the game releases. I bought a fair few games from them since it was more convenient.

This is seriously bad news for GAME thought. They stock fell with 15% when it was announced and they where already suffering. I have a sneaking suspicion they are about to hit bankruptcy.

Play has gone downhill. It use to be 1 working day, its now 3 to 5. I've swapped my pre-order over to ShopTo on the recommondation of a friend who is on the same course I am. They guarantee deliver on release day.

If you pre-order Mass Effect 3 N7 Collectors Edition before 12pm on Wednesday 7th of March 2012 we will guarantee that you will receive it by the release date of Friday 9th of March 2012, if you do not receive it we will compensate you with £5.00 on your shopto account.​
