The Cold Hazard makes little sense and that's the reason...

the mass effect fields don't protect from temperatures. only the suits themselves. add it matter not what you wear. Even if you are cold in heavy covered gear you can get frost bite.

Sometimes it's good not to read the star maps, lol...

I took the kids out at -28C this winter. Not a typical 'walk in a park' weather for the Moscow region, but far from being deadly (with the proper layered clothing + 'winter' cosmetics for the lips\faces). I bet we could have lasted so much longer with the sealed N7-suits and our helmets on 8P

Anyway, I can't remember MAKO having any kind of problems down there, and their life-support worked just fine too.

Still, does not make their idea of 'extreme and hazardous cold' any better.

The mako did not have any issue. It's just shepard if they don't have the right gear. Hell, Shepard was freezing on Novaria which is normally -1c. though on that mission he was on there was a blizzard and it was colder then the norm.

Your case I would say is an issue of being climatized to that weather. others people normal weather is another persons cold. I live in florida so i know first had how people react to what i consider colds. Mean while I'm fine in what ever people think is too hot...in humidity.

That would be more of a gameplay issue. like I said it's like that from ME1. I'm not saying it's super accurate, hell we don't play games for that, it just that what's happening here is not new.

1.dude. that was the planet you just discriped. The mission you just talked about is on Novaria. You brought up Novaria, not I. You just did not know it was novaria

2.Says the person climatized to it.  Have you been in 90 degree weather in a humid environment? It's not that bad.(I say as someone from florida.)

We should have the ability to craft enough gear to counter hazards or cancel them out entirely.

I don't know, as a game mechanic it adds another dimension to the game. You don't have the freedom to sit there behind cover during an encounter and pick off everything all day. Gotta keep an eye on life support as well.

1. Ok. I was wrong. that was not novari. You're taking about the ex cerberus mission you find Jacob on.... the temp there was  4c. Even less cold then noveria. masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Gellix

2. Dude, dry heat is nothing compared to humid heat.

That requires extra power in suits. Power drains over time. that would just mean lasting longer in the elements not canceling them out.

1.Yep. 4c.
2. I live in florida. Your hot is my averge.

i can't fault you on that.
