It's already out on the PC as far as I know. They withdrew it from the Xbox due to bugs.

Personally, I mainly find myself using Zaeed or Garrus (as they're virtually identical functionally - do we really need two Infiltrators and two Infiltrator/Soldier hybrids?), or possibly Legion later on (just for flavour, he's comparatively useless). The second team member I usually pick at random - it still works, even on the harder settings, and I liked most of them characterwise.
Bah, Legion was amazing, if you upgrade his its rifle to a Widow. Given that NPCs have unlimited ammo and all. He It was awesome near the end, tearing through Scions and Harbingers.

I've been playing with a Vanguard and I regret choosing it... the shotgun is probably the most awful weapon in this game: low ammo capacity, and the damage isn't even that great. I use the SMG almost exclusively since the other pistol has only about a dozen bullets (6 in the clip plus about 8-9 in reserve :P), although it has crappy damage it does a lot more than the shotgun even at point-blank range.

I'm thinking about restarting as a soldier, it seems like the only class that doesn't suck, and use my squad mates for armor/shield removal and crowd control.

That was the most innovative combination of "epic" and "failure" I've seen to date.

I recommend infiltrator as well. Super overpowered.

Don't forget that you can slow time indefinitely by occasionally right clicking while holding a sniper rifle instead of having a cooldown like the soldier.

Yep, soldier with the armor peircing rounds from a squad member and you are pretty much set. Disrupter ammo for mechs/geth, armor peircing for... just about everything else. Most enemies go down in 1 or 2 headshots with the semi-auto sniper rifle, even on above normal difficulty, soldier time dilation allows for 5 sniper riffle shots before it finishes. The time dilation then cools down before your shields fully respawn, so just as they respawn, you pop out for another round of slow motion duck-hunt.

Unless of course you find a scion; then you get to unload a full load of semi-auto sniper riffle ammo or a full load of assault riffle ammo on it before it dies.

So the first time I went through I went through on insanity (my mate told me i couldn't because the game won't let me, but for some reason it did with my imported guy)

Anyway, the scions have so much health on insanity. Its INSANE! :D
