Try completing the game with a new character on Insane yet, without using strategy in combat?

I can fully agree beating it on Normal is easy if your just walking into most rooms with an Assault Rifle, but at higher difficulties, you HAVE to use cover systems, powers, and the full gambit of abilities, or you'll die, instantly.

Even now, I die in 1 hit from sniper rounds on hardcore.

I actually did restart it a few days ago (though I didn't get past the first world yet) just to try a different character and on a harder difficulty so we'll seel. I will admit though I suck at games.


 Twesterm, MrStickball is dead on. I am playing Mass Effect on hardcore as an Adept and if you think you walk through the game blindly firing you are sadly mistaken. You have to use strategy because as he said. Snipers will one shot. Using Stasis to freeze them or singularity to make them easy targets is a must.

I know when I go for my Insanity achievement I am going to have to go Soldier class as again. I am missing the added protection of heavy armor right now. I don't like the Stasis ability too much but I may have to throw a few points into because those snipers can be a pain. Also on Normal if you are outside fighting you can pretty much kill standard mobs by using lift and throw. On hardcore, the mobs will survive the fall most of the time which is crazy. I mean, I swear that my Adept is chucking this guys a half mile and they get up and comeback for more haha. Thankfully, I gave my adept an assault rifle.
