[QUOTE="Zeliard9"][QUOTE="frankeyser"][QUOTE="Zeliard9"][QUOTE="Gator08"] Maybe my experience was unique then because i didnt have any frame rate issues, althought i did have texture popping but it was definitly forgiveable. The Mako didnt bother me at all, i dont understand this stuff about not being able to aim. all you do is just hold LT and click thr right stick and you can basically disintegrate everything that you can see. Oh, and to those of you who are slightly unerwhelmed but havent finished the game.... just wait.. the ending is sooo intense it will make you forget about everything else. just do me one favor and come post in this thread again after your done it.

I get the gripes about controlling the Mako's movement, because it's annoying, but the aiming seems easy enough. In fact, if anything, the Mako vehicle is quite overpowered. Especially if you use the main gun as opposed to the machine gun, which is often one-hit kill on anything.
Sometimes I only have to wonder if everyone knows that the Mako has a powerful main gun. I always kill everything so quickly in the Mako vehicle, to the point where I often get out of it to fight on-foot, because it's funner and harder.
it is the fact that when you aim.. you might not be aiming there. I constantly was shooting over peoples heads although the aiming rectile was directly over the enemy... they should not let you aim somewhere that you can not shoot. If the battle was not onflat ground i always ditched the mako to just fight onfoot.if i want to come over a mountian blasting away i should be able to, i should not have to wait till i am on even ground before being able to shoot enemys. when i can jump out of the mako and shoot them. it makes no logical sense that i am not able to blast them.
That's weird, because I haven't had that issue. I've been able to hit enemies while at awkward, slanted angles on mountains all the time, and from a good distance. The red reticule on the enemy and the crosshair are even visible through the Mako vehicle in case you're at an angle behind it and it covers your view, so it's easy enough to simply align the two and then fire. I have honestly never had a problem with the aiming whatsoever.
The only times the aiming is limited is when it would logically be so, like when enemies are right next to your vehicle and you're trying to aim down at them, even though for that to be possible, the turret would have to go through your vehicle. The aiming is only limited in logical ways. It's the same as if it were a tank in any other game.
I've had serious difficulty aiming below the horizontal plane. It's like the Mako just cannot angle the turrent downwards, no matter how slight.
same here.
example of great gun on vechile. the warthog, i shoot where ever i aim. the mako i aim the bullets do not go there. I do understand when i am close to an enemy i cant shoot them. but when i am that close i just run them over.
oh interesting side point. i actually got the mako to flip over on its back and get stuck there. i dont want to do any spoilers for people that have not been there so i will say it is when you are in the mako trying to get to the mass effect portal and you are timed. I hit the jump as i was going off a hill, hit the roof in front of me and got the mako stuck on its back. i started laughing, hit the jump button again to see what would happen. and it flipped me back over. so if that happens to you just hit the jump button, it also got me out of a threasher i was stuck in. i hit the jump and i popped out of him.
