About more weapons, it’ll be nice to have a melee type weapon like a maze or a baseball bat so we can go around bashing mercs and collectors heads. LOL. : D

But seriously, IMHO I think we have plenty of weapons already. The only suggestion I would make is every weapon should be available to every class from the beginning. I mean, a Vanguard or an Infiltrator should be able to use the Revenant (my favorite whoop-ass toy). Why shouldn’t a Soldier be able to use a SMG? As an infiltrator I want to have the Widow and the Revenant and in my inventory.

I understand different classes have different powers that make them unique, but weapons are tools. Sheppard has two hands and a couple of eyes. He should be able to pick up any weapon and shoot it. At the very least BioWare should allow Sheppard to “buy” class non specific weapons using some combination of creds / resources.
