How Mass Effect 5 Could Improve Vehicles & Make Them Better Than The Mako & Nomad

While the franchise is spectacular, nearly every player agrees that the vehicle driving portions of it are the worst parts. From the floaty Mako in, to the fragile Hammerhead in, to even 's Nomad, vehicle handling has left plenty to be desired.

The Hammerhead in was a different story. The
