When you get into a scrap, you see how BioWare has improved the combat. For example, the damage is more location-based. If you can get a head shot, you'll cause more critical damage on your opponent. Also, you'll be able to sever limbs if you pinpoint your attacks well enough, which will surely give you a distinct advantage.
We also realized that weapon use is much more limited than in ME, in that what you bring into a quest is all that you are able to put to use when you encounter trouble. However, the counterbalance comes from the occasional arms locker, which gives you a chance to switch out your gear to something a bit more favorable or at least to replenish supplies that might have been expended during a lengthy fight.
