Favorite class and squad?

ME1: I would choose Tali and Garrus, both helped me through when it comes to hacking stuff. I am a soldier, so I would rely on them when it comes to getting stuff behind locked objects. They were even more helpful when they get stronger when it comes to hacking machine type enemies. They also helped me on the final boss.

ME2: After the reunion, I once again choose Tali and Garrus. Though later I choose Grunt and Legion on my team due to their great survival. However on the suicide mission I included them on the mission, while I have Tali and Garrus with me, once again I have them helped me all the way through the final boss mission, I was once again a soldier (import character).

Depends on the difficulty anything below hardcore is fine. Hardcore and insane either sentinel or engineer with Miranda and Mordin as their abilities help with armor,shild, and barrier respectfully.

Adept in ME1 like to use Tali and Ash to round out tech/combat. Use Wrex and Garrus on Virmire tho.

Use an adept in ME2 (I play on insanity with the locust/hand cannon/mattock).
My team is Miranda, Thane, Mordin, Grunt, Zaheed or Tali(Miranda,Tali or Zaheed eats shields target is stunned in singularity warp eats armor, singularity again warp biotic explosion dead)

Wish Jack was more useful on insanity same with Jacob and Kasumi. Still need to run with Sarama to see if Shes useful on insanity.

Favorite class is sentinel, for all three games. Very verstile and gets really cool looking tech armor in ME2. In ME1 I tend to lean more torward tech/combat for bringing down shields quickly and using my own biotics for special enemies like krogans. In ME2 I mostly take Zaeed and Garrus and gearing my sentinel for close range combat. Using the tech armor explosion to knock enemies down and finishing them with overwhelming fire power.

in ME1 I just play on normal mode since insanity just makes it so enemies spam immunity and barrier while you have to do the same.

Definitely Insanity Vanguard in ME2 with Grunt in almost every party since he can take hits, and usually Miranda for her adaptability. Legion with his widowmaker is great too. Took the claymore usually on the ship first run, it's fun but the eviscerator (sp?) and the scimitar are probably safer choices with sniper training. Second favorite is soldier because the revenant is a beast.

ME3 I just ran whatever and actually preferred Engineer on Insanity since charge + nova got boring quick.

ME1: Always Soldier and squad is mostly Garrus and Tali, to avoid a relationship between Kaidan or Ashley.

ME2: Mostly Biotic frontier soldier (or however it is called in english... In germany it is named "Frontkämpfer") and my squad mates are also mostly Tali and Garrus (Tali because of the relationship option).

ME3: The same squad mostly, class depends on the imported game safe.

Looks like I'm not the only one fonded by Tali and Garrus as my team. Even though I had Grunt and Legion, those 2 were always my favorite which I used in the final misson.

I forgot to say that I let Tali always bring back the colonists to the normandy... I found very quickly on my own a way how all survive the suicide mission. I can remember the last time I played ME2 on Xbox... I missclicked and send accidentially Tali into her death... That made me so upset that I replayed the entire suicide mission, just to save her...

I accidentally chose her for that same reason but reset it before realizing she would die. I wanted her in my team, so I chose Legion because I figured he was the best tech in the team, close win from Tali. Then after seeing Legion's death made me realize if I let Tali go in the first place she would have died. But yeah, I lost Legion and Grunt (both my best teams throughout ME2), while my original best teams (Tali and Garrus) is alive.

Pretty sure the the techs death is also determined by the secone assult team lead as well.

It depends on tech skill and loyalty. Wait near the end of the game to do either Jack or Miranda's missions so your para/reng bar is full this way u can keep both loyal.

For final mission best for tech is Legion. Miranda leads fire team always. For the biotic part use Samara. last part take two people and the end

[Merim]

Personally I wouldnt know, I had Grunt lead the second assault team. Grunt and his team survived, and when we had to shut the door just at that moment Legion was shot and killed. I had Grunt lead the team again, and had Samara cover me with her biotic powers. When I attempt to reach to Grunt for support and got there, he was just shot up and killed there. Then later Mordin died too (somehow). So I lost a total of 3 of my team after the mission. Legion, Grunt, and Mordin.

[Talia Sendua]

I don't know how exactly my combination for all parts was but I know that I found one which allows to keep everyone alive... I hope I hit this combination again on the pc version :D

[Merim]

Guess it doesnt hurt to look it up.

I made my suicide run today and used the follow team ups:

Heating Barrel Specialist: Tali vas Normandy
Second Team: Miranda Lawson

Escort of Colonists and Shipcrew: Tali vas Normandy
Biotic Specialist: Jack
Second Team: Urdnot Grunt (result in dead. I think Miranda again would be the perfect decision.)

Bossfight Team: Garrus and Legion
Team at the doors: Everyone else ( Mordin Solus fallen)

Results: 10/12 alive. Mordin Solus and Urdnot Grunt fallen.

For the best results I've always used these teams:

Heating Barrel Specialist: Tali, Legion or Kasumi
Second Team: Miranda or Garrus

Escort of Colonists and Shipcrew: Mordin
Biotic Specialist: Jack or Samara
Second Team: again, Miranda or Garrus

Bossfight Team: Pretty much anyone will suffice, but better to bring someone with low so-called "defense score", like Kasumi and Tali. And you do have to leave two out of three between Garrus, Zaeed and Grunt. That is, if you want to save everyone.
Also, It's better to have everyone loyal. It's very hard to keep non-loyal crew members alive.
