Same here, curses. A TON of combat mechanics clunkiness remained in the original trilogy, even in ME3. The increased mobility shown in the gameplay vids is really encouraging. It also looks as though you can switch classes at any time, such as starting a mission as a soldier and switching to an engineer of you run into a bunch of shielded enemies. And the new ability animations have me all aflutter, especially the overload and biotic charge animations. I saw one gameplay clip where the player picked up an enemy (presumably with pull or some related biotic ability), carried the enemy a little ways, then threw the fucker at another group of enemies, resulting in a massive explosion.
I'm about this
close to surrendering to the hype completely. The only thing standing between me an unconditional surrender is thinking about shit like the Halo 5 single player campaign.
