@JakePT - I agree with what you're saying. Those missions you mention had a lot of interesting dialogue, but I'm not saying ME2 was lacking in terms of dialogue, just that 90% of the gameplay (outside the dialogue) was a shooter and I'd like to see this adjusted a bit.

I think part of the reason is the mako: in ME1 the main missions would have vehicle sections, dialogue sections and shooter sections so in ME2 we've lost the vehicle sections.

ME2 assignments such as the following are some of my favourites simply because they provided us with something a little bit different, gameplay wise. Sure the puzzles are easy but it's a nice change.

N7: Abandoned Research Station N7: MSV Estevanico N7: Mining the Canyon N7: Endangered Research Station

If Overlord is an indicator of how Bioware are moving then I think that's a good sign. It has a nice mix of combat, puzzles, exploration and vehicle gameplay. It did lack in dialogue though. I agree with RayShepp that the Hammerhead combat needs work, however I do enjoy it's movement and platforming.

Don't get me wrong, I think the shooting in ME2 was really well done and I enjoy it (and I don't normally enjoy shooters) I'd just like there to be a little bit more gameplay varitety.
