A soldier doing what a soldier does best:
An engineer introduces some Geth to his combat drone:
The Adept opening a can of biotic woop a** on mercs:
Look, on the ground, it's Predator! No it's the Infiltrator:
A freight train could learn a thing or two from the Vanguard:
Yes Mr. Heavy Weapons Guy from Team Fortress 2, the Sentinel can outsmart bullets:
The Soldier Class hasn't been revealed by video yet, but Mass Effect Wiki tells me that he'll have an adrenaline rush power.
If playing games like Splinter Cell and Thief: The Dark Project taught me anything, it's how I love sneaking around and sapping people when they least suspect it. Infiltrator for me.
ADDITIONAL NEWS:
Did you guys know that there will be two discs for the game? So you'll have to change discs Final Fantasy/Grim Fandango style before you proceed with Commander Sheparding.

PLEASE INSERT DISC TWO
That will be a fun blast from the past for me! And it bodes well for the game to hear it's too big for one disc.

I'm not going to vote till I see the soldier class video first. My personal Shepard is a soldier with the throw ability so I might change him to vangaurd or something when I import him... if I can do that.
Also the two disc thing is great lol

This is pretty hard but I'll go for the adept in my first playthrough for my grey eye colonist bumpkin, since adding the combination of singularity + warp = space fireballs. And yes, I love explosions, that's why in almost any RPG I'd roll a mage for that reason alone.
But out of all the improvement of the classes, the infiltrator strikes me the most. I love playing the stealthy type too and having an invisible cloak force field before shooting someone at the back does made me think twice about picking out the classes in ME2. However, I hold out a bit with the infiltrator class for now until I'll see it in practice since usually it's hard to implement the stealthy elements in games and there are times it might not work properly.
Vangaurd... well another class that is hard to pick. sure I can't go making space fireballs with the slight twich of the finger but the charging element is quite cool too, especially when bypassing objects that stands in your way. Just imagine a blue sun merc hiding behind the bullet glass proof plane, flipping the finger at Shepard and co.
Merc: Suckers! You can't get m-
*Shepard uses charge, bypass the glass and BOOM, headshot*
The sentinel class is also tempting, having both tech and biotics abilities and having a nice holographic armor that makes you look like an actual knight in shiny (space) armor while in the middle of acting like a damn badass.
But yeah, the improvement on the classes are nice enough it made me ponder about it.
With the 2 disc thing.... well as I've said before, I'm not surprised concidering all the crap they stuffing in...

I never do a mage first - me, I always start with a rogue So infiltrator for me. I will try the mage after that probably.

I'm gonna be an infiltrator for my first playthrough, but for my second, I may go from Vanguard to Soldier, because they have access to certain weapons the other classes can't use, I believe. Like the LMG and possibly the mini-nuke.

Loyal Vanguard for me. Charge + new close range weapons were the clincher.

Nice. The soldier class isn't too bad but why I've get the feeling it might be the weaker class out of all the rest of them?
I'll give the soldier class a shot regaurdless.

The Soldier class doesn't look that bad! Since my personal Shepard is a Soldier I think I'll just keep him a Soldier. So I'm going to do the Soldier class my first playthrough.

Soldier isn't bad, don't get me wrong. Just that I've kinda feel naked at times if I've don't have abnormal abilities to cover me, like Tech or Biotics.
I'm just the type who likes to use shiny effects to do my bidding...

Soldier is boring... or it was in ME1 anyway.

The soldier actually looks pretty unappealing to me in ME2. Funny considering the Engineer, Adept, Vanguard, and Sentinel all look pretty damn good to me. The tech armor and biotic charge abilities does look quite good.
The Infiltrator, I've always loved. The cloaking and AI hacking sell me like a cupcake.

Bah! I'm going to make a new Shepard and reroll a Infiltrator after my canon avatar. Damn those invisible cloaks. It's almost like the best way to counter those bloody biotics.
