There are no holidays in the summer, at least in North America. So there shouldn't be any confusion as to which holiday it is since there is only one holiday season within the year.

Right so then i guess that the 4th of july the birthday of America isn't a holiday? And nobody in America gets off of work on the 4th of july then right?

[MillaShepard]

in the trailer, when "Holiday 2011" pops up, it kinda looks like it's snowing. I think we're looking at Decemberish 2011.

I've been messing with that recent VGA teaser to figure out the creature that sniper had taken down. My bets are on husk.

The results of histogram manipulation (to gain better contrast on the creature) if anyone interested:

My first thought was that it was a collector.  Now, i'm not so sure.

[bahmamu]

maybe it's husk!I hope for earlyer release in 2011 maybe in march or april

That thing the sniper takes down could be what reapers send down to kill things and then bring them back to harvest

i'm....excited as all hell, but disappointed at the same time....

i definately wanted earth. i did NOT want the entire game to focus on
earth...which is what im seeing here. dont disappoint me Bioware.....not
only will the last game of the trilogy suck miserably...
....you'll
also need to deal with getting a two-mile restraining order on fans who
also happen to shoot guns competitively.

I bet we'll get a DLC for ME2 on Earth now that we know it'll be wrecked in ME3. BTW, threatening to kill people is both messed up and childish.


As far as nukes... seriously? You want to fight a billion-year old civilization that destroyed every other civ in the interim with 20th century weaponry? Wow, you guys have some high hopes... Now nukes are powerful, but what good do you think a nuke is gonna do against a 10 meter thick bulkhead of advanced composite materials, protected by particle sheilds and most likely easily able to absorb and redirect heat? And you guys are assuming that Reapers just have slightly better versions of Earth technologies. Only particle shields? What would make you think that? I think they just MIGHT have figured out a few extra defenses.

Me? I'm gonna surprise the Reapers with a few tricks, fight them tooth and nail on Earth, and give them a reason to want Earth even more (maybe make it obvious they can get what they want out of Earth if they beat my armies)... then I'm gonna blow up the damned Sun. I play Paragon, but it really is the most logical option. Draw as many Reapers to a single solar system as possible and then destroy the entire thing. Just gotta keep them from escaping (or detecting) the supernova somehow. I'd probably use the Haelstrom data from ME2 to figure out how to blow up the sun, though. Hopefully get the defense fleet out right before the supernova hits. Sorry, Earth.

I did once see a physics explanation of what would happen if the sun just suddenly disappeared (not a supernova, just if it poofed out of existence). Would all the planets in orbit lose their orbits and just fly off before they saw the light disappear? No, because time, gravity, and the speed of light are kinda wound up into one thing. Like... time "travels" at the speed of light or something. For that reason, I have hope that the Reapers wouldn't detect the sun going supernova until it's too late, simply because of how physics works. They wouldn't detect a distortion in the gravitational field of the sun because the sun won't have gone supernova yet for their position in space until the light reaches them. I'd probably have the fleet between the Sun and the Earth, then they launch a bunch of nukes and explode them pre-emptively to create a "smoke screen" to disguise the first stages of the supernova.

Okay. So it's an RPG, not real life. And that's probably not an option. But... it's what my Paragon Shepard would do if he could. Sacrifice one planet to destroy a huge portion of the Reaper fleet. My Renegade moment? :-P

okay, first of all, have a sense of humor. i dont actually want to kill anyone. IT WAS A JOKE. if anyone didnt interpret it that way, im extremely sorry. the tip-off should have been that NO RIFLE HAS AN EFFECTIVE RANGE OF TWO MILES. i hereby decree that henceforth everything i write on any forum is to be taken literally. if people dont realize that im not serious, ill be as serious as possible. fine. I apologize again to anyone who was offended.

second of all: the main point of the nukes wasnt even the heat. it is the EMP that would literally fry the circuitry inside a reaper, rendering it "dead." it was pointed out that there are better ways to create an EMP, however, and I have conceded that those are better options. Contrary to what CoD would have people believe, EMP is NOT temporary; it is permanent. i apologize again if your theory on stopping the reapers is different from mine.

Chirst, i forgot how hostile forum environments could get....

Sorry but I was not referring to individual holidays of single nation. The 4th of july is an American holiday, and well North America also includes Mexico and Canada, neither of which celebrate the 4th of july. The phrase "Holiday (Insert year here)" always refers to December, aka: The HOLIDAY season. Ask anyone who works in retail. This is because there are several religious holidays that fall within this month, and it is no longer politically correct to say christmas. Almost 4 billion people world wide celebrate some sort of holiday in December, aka: The holiday season. There isnt a period of time in the summer that can claim the same.

I could go on and on, but the fact that there is a debate as to what holiday the trailer is referring to is ridiculous.

Are you seriously having a debate over what "The Holidays" means?

[szkasypcze]

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!



The whole game will take place during the war with the reapers. You will just have to travel to attacked planets to fight them off. Depending on how many team mates you managed to save from the ME2, you will be able to save the number of planets. You will also have to choose which to save and which not. these are the choices of ME3.



Got this form a friend. this not 100%s ure at all.

Stars don't just poof out. Actually, the way I am reading it nothing that you said is possible or correct. Unless you are referring to a fictional theory or something.

Not necesarily. Every saved team member will provide you with a support form a different race or another ally. Eventually, if all are dead, only humanity faces the threat. I know that this is general, but that is the general idea of the game. I don't know the specifics of the story line, there are going to be new elements apart form old squadmates, e.g. this sniper guy. The thing is, you wont' be able/are going to choose which colony save, which race to help.
Please, I only been given general idea.

In all honesty, I highly doubt that earth is going to be the only planet under attack. Most likely all the planets containing any sort of advanced space faring species is going to be a target of the reapers. My guess is that you are going to have to go on some secret mission to go find a way to kill off the reapers, leaving earth and the other planets behind to fend for themselves.

I hope that is the case. Otherwise it would be a bit cheesy and too focused on humanity. However I am not sure that's how it's gonna be. The reapers have an interest in humanity and if they found a way to send small numbers they might very well start with earth (although, were I in there shoes I'd go for the citadel to bring the rest in).

BTW, I am astonished BW didn't put an official announcement in these forums yet. Is that the weekend?

[darthoptimus003]

well i say earth is doomed destroy it with that dark matter stuff get the reapers there and poof bye bye earth and reapers start over on eden prime or terra nova that would be cool but shepard should be sacrifaced in order to complete what he/she started with soveriegn the complete and utter destuction of all reapers just to show the whole galaxy what happens when you mess with humans you get polverised

[Dazaster Dellus]

Fo all those people saying/thinking this game will only take place on Earth, it will not.I think the mystery guy in the trailer pretty much sums up what the game will entail. He says "If Shepard doesn't bring help soon there won't be an Earth left to save". I am more worried it will turn into Dragon Age Origins and countless other games where you have to gather allies to fight a massive threat in the end.

If bioware stay on the path they've been going , because me 1 and 2 where all about discovering the threat , gaining your allies and striking a blow , 3 possibly gonna involve tryin to unify the council ,,, and the fact that there tons of lose end pending on ones individual play through ... krogan etc

how ever if earth is the first to be assaulted i see the council turning a blind i once more...

Also, I for one am glad it is coming at the end of next year. Hell, I hope it doesn't come out until 2012. Actually I can almost guarantee it won't drop until 2012. ME2 just came out less than a year ago. I think the game deserves at least 2 years of exclusive development time. Especially since they now have one more system to develop for. I would rather it took as long as needed to be the best final chapter, than to have it come out fast, be full of bugs and have a mediocre finish to the story.

I would totally agree with you. Better safe than sorry with the conclusion to a thus far epic storyline.

Haha, I'm not hostile. I'm not saying I'm gonna kill anyone and I rarely even insult people. If someone takes offense to me criticising something they said or punching a hole in an idea, then doesn't that actually show the criticism had a point? :-P Anyway, it's a common theme to tell people online you're going to send them anthrax or gun them down or murder their family, but that's really not a very cool thing to do. Because if there's even 1/1,000 people who mean it, that's way too many people. Put yourself in the shoes of Bioware staff. If every day YOU went to work, 50 people threatened to kill you (the people who you worked hard for years to please), you'd get a new job. And it wasn't really funny as a joke, either.

EMPs are effective against circuitry, sure, but we're talking exposed or lightly-armored circuitry. Circuitry inside a space ship is basically magnetically sealed. It would have to be, given the hostile environments of space. Just think of Haelstrom, for instance. The Normandy was in space around that hostile planet and had ZERO atmospheric protection from the radiation of the star, but it was just fine even though it's a dinky frigate that's meant for stealth, not for durability. I guess it could have stayed in the shadow of the planet, but it is unlikely its approach could have been out of the sun 100% of the time. Heck, the Citadel is located inside one of the most turbulent (ionized) nebulae in the galaxy, but it's still the center of civilizationi and commerce in the galaxy. No EMP is gonna get through a completely sealed, ~10m bulkhead. And if it IS of a frequency that passes through such an array of materials, it'll pass straight through the circuitry without doing any damage, too.

As for why EMPs are temporary in most video games, that's to represent switching over to backup circuits and such. Clearly, you can only have so many backups in real life, though. However, Reapers aren't entirely circuitry. They're a large part biological, and the biological components should be able to support and repair the circuitry even if they are damaged.

20 November 2007 = Mass Effect 1
26 January 2010 = Mass Effect 2 (roughly 26 months between the release of ME1 & 2)
December 2011 = Mass Effect 3 (roughly 23 months between the release of ME2 & 3)

Seriously, why should we be worried? That's plenty of time to develop the game.

[Nicodemus]

Excellent! Just seen the trailer and the first thing that popped into my head was a Krogan travel agency advertising trips to earth, since they like bombed out places and large craters.



ME3 Krogan Holiday



Roll on 2011.

Mass Effect 3! Wow. Can't wait!!!
