I hate how you can't manage anything related to your weapons unless you're near a locker or happen to pick up a new one on the ground.
I also agree with Tor, the whole war map thing is absolute rubbish; you should be going around re-capturing lost territory, not playing multiplayer to up your 'galactic readiness' (how does that make any sense whatsoever?) Actually, an entirely self-contained, tacked-on multiplayer experience on teeny tiny maps against waves of random enemies having any affect on the single player experience whatsoever is bullshit full stop.
And yes, the walking/running animations suck. The in-game engine cut scenes feature terrible animations in general too, and bad lip synching. It's unfortunate, because I actually love the story elements and dialogue scenes, but the poor animations really can detract from the whole experience at times.
Also, why do we rarely get any dialogue options whatsoever anymore? It's like one per conversation at the moment.
And lordy do I wish someone would put a bullet through Specialist Traynor's head. She makes me cringe everytime she speaks.

I don't remember Mass Effect 2 having so many issues like this. Maybe it did and nostalgia is clouding my judgement, in which case they should damn well have improved it all in the two years since ME2. Either way, so far (I'm half way through), Mass Effect 2 is a vastly better game for its time and Mass Effect 3 is slightly disappointing.

I agree with this thing above. Imo, the less dialogue wheel, makes the dialogue seem a lot worse me. For instance, if I pick something, and shepard says something dumb I'm like "lol, why did I say such a dumb thing" now it's "omg why did he say that." Also there are way too many shepard monologues which I thought were always some of the worst dialogue in ME games.
The mission variety I thought was better in ME2. The last mission in ME2, the morinth mission, Thane's mission etc. Only 1 city hub compared to 3 in each of the previous 2. Lots of little things, in the 3rd bother me, that make it a fair amount worse.
