You have the five standard types of weapons; Pistol, shotgun, assault rifle and sniper rifle. Then you have about three different of each type to choose between. And then there are 5 different heavy weapons. One of them is uber cool.
I really missed a way to compare weapons to each other. As it was, I just looked at the weapons loadout screen (which is where you change weapons, available when entering a mission and at certain points in missions only) with disgust, not knowing and not caring which weapons my crew was armed with, and only looking briefly at which weapon I had. I really loved outfitting my character with weapons and armor in the first game.
But as I said, this doesn't kill the combat at all. It makes it even better. But it's not really an RPG anymore. Or it's trying very hard not to be.
