Mass Effect 2: Sentinel with Sniper?

[similar.squirrel]

Is this possible? I've already sunk 10+ hours into the game, but I find the Sentinel class to be pretty boring. Should I maybe just restart with an Infiltrator or an Adept?
Or is there some way to acquire a rifle with my current character?

I find the Adept to be the most fun, But thats just my opinion.

infiltrator and vanguard were always very effective and fun for me

just make sure you know how to use your party members effectively with your class and you should be fine while also having lots of fun

At about the half-way point, you get the option to train a new weapon skill.
My Vanguard got a sniper rifle, and was extra awesome.

So either stick it out and wait for that point, or start over.

Well Adept is the most fun in my oppinion, but since you've put already 10 hours into that profile, I suggest you stick with it. You can get yourself a sniper in the mission the Illusive man gives you after you've gathered the second bunch of your squad members.

Thanks a lot, folks. I'm not sold on this new items system..I liked equipping my squad with armour and endless lists of weaponry =/. Streamlined my ass. Just pandering to the trigger-happy GoW crowd.

yeah there's a mission where you can choose a new weapon, or have advanced training in a weapon you already have. The advanced weapon isn't available for either of the pistols though

Like mentioned above, the collector ship is where to go.

But Adept is great fun!

 

[Shock and Awe]

I had a crap load of fun with the Vanguard.

You can get a sniper rifle in the Collector base, as I remember it. That's quite a long way into the game though.
