After the video from last week, Bioware is now releasing a few new images of Mass Effect 2 to make the wait until late January 2010 more bearable.
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (4 Days ago)

Regardless... uh, anyone got a tissue?
What in the world are you talking about?

I still think it's ridiculous they're putting ammo into a universe that had limitless ammo guns just years before, but I trust Bioware enough that I'm not worried. If the game sucks, then I'll be worried.
Either way, Dragon Age looked like crap but is still an amazing game, so the fact it's Bioware alone has me pretty sure the game will be good. I just hope it's a longer than the first game.

Still, overall the design of this game is very nice despite this gap in logical thinking although the framerate will hopefully improve a great deal before launch.
A transparent magazine (many modern rifles allow for you to see the ammo count without unloading the magazine) on the other hand means that the soldier can keep it in his peripheral vision, and has a general sense at all times how much ammo he has before a reload without having to read any numbers.
In Aliens the guns had LED monitors on the side, as a compromise between realism and having them there for the benefit of the audience (since ammo counts were important to the pacing of the film.) Ammo counters are really only useful for vehicles and for audiences/gamers.
Also, having a display like that which displayed the correct orientation of numbers in both directions is pretty much impossible. So I imagine Bioware will probably fix that before shipping, or they dont expect the viewer to see the other side.
