Limited ammo in Mass Effect 2!

Lately I've seen a gameplay video of Mass Effect 2. The atmosphere looks fantastic, and they've made a new amazing HUD.. way better than the old one =D But I've noticed that Shepard is consuming ammo! It seems like the special ammo like "inferno rounds" are the ones that are limited, which is kinda cool. I really like that the special rounds are required to be bought, cuz it was strange that you could amass millions of credits and have nothing to spend it on!

So, are you with or against having limited ammo in Mass Effect 2?

No reloading, no worries. But at least you can disable it right?

I would prefer if there was unlimited ammo but it isn't a huge deal.Vuurk

Same here.

Doesn't make sense now... How do they go from unlimited to limited? It explained in the Codex why guns had unlimited ammo:

"Small Arms:

All modern infantry weapons from pistols to assault rifles use micro-scaled mass accelerator technology. Projectiles consist of tiny metal slugs suspended within a mass-reducing field, accelerated by magnetic force to speeds that inflict kinetic damage.

The ammo magazine is a simple block of metal. The gun's internal computer calculates the mass needed to reach the target based on distance, gravity, and atmospheric pressure, then shears off an appropriate sized slug from the block. A single block can supply thousands of rounds, making ammo a non-issue during any engagement."

Are Bioware just going to pretend that never happened?

my guess is that it will add some tension to the gun fightsdoubalfa

Exactly my thoughts, and if you ran out of special rounds, your weapon will still fire regular bullets.

A single block can supply thousands of rounds, making ammo a non-issue during any engagement."

I hope not.

i thought it was only for certain guns like the new heavy weapons that had limited ammo(am i wrong?), which to me seems like a good idea, having those unlimited ammo would devoid the purpose of having other weapons skills

Yeah, it's like the technology devolves! But I'm sure BioWare will come up with an explanation, at least that's what I hope.

I think you're thinking about it to much... or worrying about it too much at any rate. Just relax... BioWare will make sure it's right. have faith.

have you EVER known BioWare NOT get it right?

honestly it's not going to matter it'll be like every other rpg, once you get a high level you will have so much ammo you won't know what to do with it.

Hmm, I guessAtomicBaconBits is right. But still, I did enjoy the unlimited ammo but didn't have as much fun with the overheating. Maybe there's now ammo because people put some complaints about the overheating? Unlimited ammo with no overheating, or reloading, guess they went with the reloading.

Doesn't matter to me though, the game still is awesome, regardless of reloading or not.

Let's hope that it's just the special ammo needing reloading than the regular ammo...it makes more sense, they can keep the codex thingy, butadd maybe something new involving special ammo.

Who wants to run around with unlimited rocket ammo and **** like that? You might as well put on easy and use cheat codes as well.

So, ammo for those guns is the same for special guns which will more than likely be extremely powerful?

i have no idea why reloading is required now, though i've heard somewhere that you inject heat sinks when the weapon overheats, which looks like you're reloading. they made it that way to ensure the game remains fast paced. this is likely incorrect, but i think you can still use the weapons without the heat sink, but it will overheat.

either way, bioware said that they would explain the reason behind the ammo system in me2.

i got the info i wanted from the bioware forum site read this if you care
