What the hell is up with cool down timer? It was normal during the opening, but it jumps to about 16 seconds during the second half.

New to ME3 is cool down shaped to weight of equipment. The less equipment you carry and the lighter the weapons, the faster your cool down between powers. Heavier/more equipment = longer cool down. It's to encourage power focused builds with less weapons.

With all this releases I've lost track, is the "launch trailer" coming today?

No, but the CGI trailer is likely to hit today.

The cooldown is based on how much weapons you have and their weight. That's why the CD was short at the beginning with only a pistol, and longer at the end with a full arsenal.

Sounds good, I'll play some more single player demo while waiting (damn you BF3 players!)

 

[Nexas]

Ah I had forgotten about the whole weight thing. Kinda silly of them to just throw you in there with full arsenal without explaining this. Is there a way to switch out weapons in the demo? Giving the infiltrator everything but a sniper rifle sucks.

 

[Complistic]

there might be a way on the pc if we can get to console commands but I don't think there's a way on the 360.

 

[JambiBum]

The best way to test the new cooldown system is to play the multiplayer. You get to choose your loadout there. It really does make a huge difference carrying less weapons.

Can I use my Shepard in the demo?

You can't import but you can customize appearance and it looks like your appearance code (or whatever you want to call it) from ME2 still works. Tried it out on one of my Shepards and it got really close to what she looked like in ME2. Just had to make a couple of modifications.

Awesome demo...yeah the cooldowns seemed a little long on my Adept that I tested out and I chose the Story way for my first playthrough,so it was kinda easy but still great...

Oh and the Kinect integration is pretty cool and works great as well,c'mon March 6th.

Pairing it up with The Walking Dead is a smart move. The audience for that show is HUGE.

[BY2K]

Haven't followed the thread.

Is it on PSN?

 

[Wonko_C]

So no concessions to make with this program + plug and play? Besides rumble perhaps.

I really don't want to have to go into some setup screen to adjust stick deadzones and stuff.

You're either going to have to use one of the already-made profiles on the site or you're going to have to mess with more advanced stuff than adjusting dead zones.

I didn't find any of the pre-made ME2 profiles to my liking so I made my own, it took like 20 minutes of tweaking and tuning but I love how it plays, better than the default 360 configuration imo.
