BioWare: Mass Effect 3 combat more like chess (Us: Chess has grenades?)
Attachment 1547
Speaking to CVG, BioWare gameplay designers Christina Norman and Corey Gaspur detailed some of the changes that have been made to the Mass Effect combat formula for Mass Effect 3.
Quote:
According to Norman, BioWare wanted to shift the focus of combat, making it more about positioning than simply shooting and using abilities.
To help complement this idea, enemies were designed with better AI to work as a coordinated force, with certain units designed for specific roles. Norman likened the concept to a chessboard, where each piece can work together, but different pieces will interact with one another in different ways. All of these factors, according to Norman, lead to a more challenging game. "It's not just that the game is harder on Insanity," said Norman, "it's that this creature actually behaves differently on higher difficulty levels."
Just remember, bad guys: Singularities don't care how smart you are.

Sounds quite interesting... As long as they don't dumb down the RPG elements anymore for this. Me2 combat was more fluent but they in some ways ruined the entire experience system by dumbing it down so it is more user (Kid) Friendly. Lets hope that it doesn't get trashed anymore to make way for this
