3. Superior combat options

We like the idea of specialised classes, but we also like being able to pull a trigger without wondering whether our high level Biotic has the right shaped finger. BioWare has made all weapons available to all classes in Mass Effect 3, though grunt characters will be able to carry more, but has compensated for this with a greater breadth of ability upgrades, plus some new gun customisation options. Ergo, Rambo Shepards won't feel constrained, but Sun Tzu Shepards won't find the combat one-dimensional.

6. Improved scanning

Allow us to quote the honourable Matt Lees, Mass Effect nut and closet Eastenders viewer. "Honestly, I loved scanning planets. It clearly divided the audience, but I know I'm not the only person out there got a bit obsessed with scanning..." You're in good hands, Matt. BioWare has big plans for planet scanning in Mass Effect 3. What precisely they are, we can't divulge as yet.
