The Engineer combat class makes its return in Mass Effect 2, and BioWare has injected a few new abilities to make things more interesting.
As before, Engineers possess a roguish finesse and approach battle in a more roundabout manner than most. In Mass Effect, these guys were Tech Specialists who focused on supporting the party by disabling weapons, debuffing enemy shields, hacking mechanical enemies, and even healing the party. There's still the tactical focus in the sequel, but they can now take a more direct approach by summoning combat drones, set foes on fire, or freeze and shatter them.
We'll likely be seeing more class highlights will be released before the game comes out January 26, 2010.
