Why would you do that?

This leaves the multiplayer (at least on the Terran side) looking like an expansion pak because there just isn't that much new, and some of the new stuff is too specialized to really be useful (Hellions). There should at least be the option to use some of the units from the single-player campaign in multiplayer games. Just make sure they don't count on the ladder.

Yes, I know about that, but it's a really unsatisfying substitute. It's far less efficient than the medic for three reasons:

1. It's more expensive, and sometimes you just don't need a dropship when all you want is a medic.

2. It's harder to keep the medevac close to your marines. The auto-heal doesn't seem quite as intelligent as it is for medics, and since the medevac hovers over marines, it's harder for you to micromanage marines.

3. It's much easier for the enemy to kill compared to the medic because it doesn't stay as far behind the line and it's big.

Well I bought it, it's installing now - excited to get in and start playing.

This game has turned out to be way more fun than I thought it was going to be. Every mission is new and different.

I kind of wish Mass Effect 3 would set up the Normandy like the Hyperion - I'm tired of actually having to walk places.
