This pistol doesn't have a thermal clip.

Wasn't he only dead for like a year or two? Why would the military change normal heating for clips?

the shielding tech improved, so guns needed more juice to penetrate them

I prefer the buglectors being so considerate as to put not-ammo in their base for the PC to use. In a place they surely thought has no chance of getting into ever. Well, they're also something between a retcon and an asspull but still.

Thermal Clips were the dumbest fucking retcon. Lazy motherfuckers just didn't want to figure out how to address complaints of firearms overheating in the first game, so they just said, "Fuck it! Make it an ammo system."

Most doubtful.

actually it was EA mandating the change
bioware tried to implement a hybrid system, with gradual cooldown and ammo clips for instant cooldown but the bosses said no. You can actually implement the hybrid system with some edits to the ini file

It wasn't the boss. According to their old interviews they couldn't get the balance right with the hybrid system.

Why did they care though? Did they think reloading looked better in marketing, or more familiar to a broader audience? It seems like micromanaging.

The switch to thermal clips probably happened in the time skip between ME1 and ME2's opening before the collector attack

They wanted ME to be the next Gears of War.

Sort of. It works until you don't pay enough attention and spend the last not-ammo and then your gun is useless until you find some not-ammo.

Me3 controls are just gears controls

Unfortunately they forgot they're an incompetent developer who's niche was dating sims for basement dwellers.

The more they tried to make it like gears, the more I tried to not use cover. Thank god for vanguard.

Only that? There is so much more wrong with it.

Would militaries really give up infinite ammo for more firepower?

Even if you tried that bullshit explanation, it doesn't explain how it covered the galaxy in such a small amount of time. There should be guns out there that are completely ineffective and of the older generation floating around.

The worst part is ME3 reintroducing the Lancer as a perfectly working gun that according to the lore should be a peashooter
