Mass Effect 2 - Preview @ IncGamers
IncGamers rolls out a very spoilerish preview of Bioware's Mass Effect sequel, Mass Effect 2, so don't even click on the link if you are averse to hearing the plot details of both games fully discussed. Here's a quote on combat that is mostly general:
Combat with the rest of the mercs showed off the way that’s been changed. While it’s still much the same third-person blasting, Hudson stated specifically that they want the weapons to feel powerful from the off, with progression through levels granting more special abilities than anything else. No longer do you need to pause to use those abilities, either, as you’ll be able to map them to different buttons on your pad. As for your allies, you’ll have separate movement and control options for each of them, but it looks like you’re still limited to just two.
