look its probably not ME3 or ME2 dlc its actually a new game, a zombie game in fact. maybe but not likely for ME2 (I don’t believe so) the proof is in the vga trailer showing pics of what look like zombies but the biggest was the "infected count" sign

The zombie teaser has nothing to do with BioWare's game. That's likey Prototype 2 from Activision.

I personally think it will be a multiplayer-focused shooter (1st or 3rd person, no idea) set during some earth war between ME2 and ME3.  While it will be made to bring COD players in to Mass Effect, i think there will be some single-player story line bridging ME2 and 3.

    a) Given all the references to the British and London, the fact that the window is shot in (which means that our mystery dude is fighting in a shot up warzone, rather than just being an assassin), and the fact that said mystery dude looks suspiciously British, I'd say some or most of the game is set in a war torn London.

     The rifle is undoutably an incisor;the only difference between what we see and the ME2 incisor is a single handle; it is way to small of a change to mean it is some old prototype.  And I seriously doubt it was just a re-used graphic.  With the incisor being part of a "new wave", it's inclusion in the teaser means the game is post ME2.  It just makes no sense for Bioware to release two games chronologically, then a random prequel with little relation to the matters at hand, and THEN the final game.

Anyway, if it is a COD clone, well, then at least ME3 will be more rpg focused.  But i think it is possible for it to be a multiplayer fps without copying COD or losing that Mass Effect magic.  Here's to wishful thinking

There is a biohazard sign. There is no BioWare logo or anything related to BioWare on any of the teasers. And the Murder Your Make website, which is related to the zombie teaser, was (they removed it) hosted by Activision servers.

It has nothing to do with BioWare's game.

Maybe the guy with the incisor is Shepard after waiting a few decades for the Reapers to arrive?

That's a stretch.

He really doesnt look like anything CG Bioware has ever shown of Shepard.

[Uhh.. Jonah]

Maybe this mystery guy is a guy Shepard is going to recruit in ME3. It would make sense that they would go to Earth in the final game.

There's a part of me that would like the new game to be a spin-off without Shepard primarily because it'd be great to have our own unique character in Mass Effect like the Grey Warden in Dragon Age: Origins. Not to mention having our Shepards interact with our unique characters could be pretty interesting since our save files will likely carry over.

However, the possibility still exists that we may be playing as Shepard. I can see the trailer now, Earth is being attacked and soldiers are under heavy fire and in comes Shepard to save the day.

I think it's interesting that the devs are staying out of this topic. I guess this trailer is so secretive that the devs can't afford their usual clever quips.

I really believe Shepard's story is going to end with the trilogy. BioWare have been saying this is Shepard's story, and we know ME3 will not spell the end of the Mass Effect related games. As great as Shepard is, she/he isn't going to be the only Mass Effect character, so yeah, if this is indeed a spin-off game I expect Shepard to not make any appearance at all. Much like the books and the comics, its all about telling another story about other characters in the same universe.

As for the devs keeping out, they probably just dont want to spoil the surprise. The thread WAS stickied at one point, but was unstuck shortly after I added the QR codes that flashed up in a couple of VGA trailers, likely because they had nothing to do with this game.

It would be nice for another clue though . BioWare? ...please?

I sure hope Shepard's story ends with the trilogy, but I doubt they'll keep Shepard's story separate from any other characters in the Mass Effect Universe.  I expect Shepard will eventually interact with Kai Leng and Kahlee Sanders.  If there is a new unique character in a Mass Effect spin-off, I don't think Bioware would be 100% against the two stories crossing.

I definitely think that Bioware is trying to keep this new game under wraps.  They barely gave us anything to work with and look what we've found!  Another hint and they'd be screwed.

My apologies, but how does one look "suspiciously British?"  People look like Vinnie Jones everywhere.

Anyway, I'm willing to bet, in any case, that the man with the rifle is gonna bite it a couple of seconds after these shots we've seen.  Mark my words, this is just some mook with a two second shelf-life.

Yeah, ... it's not the most scientific description, just a purely subjective statement.

He may die quickly, but it would be a waste of CGI  (and their time and money) for Bioware to give us our first glimpse of the next game only to tell us that it doesn't matter at all.
Then again, they did say intoduce ME2 by saying "Commander Sheppard is KIA!!!" only to bring him back 5 minutes after he dies. 

[royceclemens]

It's just... This is a cinematic trailer, right? The only thing less "cinematic" than sniping is reading Sylvia Plath. It's only fun if you're doing it. And he has the tactical advantage. It's not like he's going anywhere. The only way to make it cool is if the guy he's lining up on snipes him first.



And think of it this way: If the first image we see was actually supposed to matter in a meaningful way, then they wouldn't have shown it to us. Otherwise, they wouldn't be throwing out these maddening clues.

[Commandant Bob]

I could see that happening, since multiplayer games are full of people randomly getting sniped anyway.
But he just doesn't have that "random grunt who's gonna die for no reason" look. He doesn't seem like a red-shirt. Basically, he looks to cool to die for no reason. But again, I'm being purely subjective here.

I have absolutely no idea where people are getting the "multiplayer" thing from. It's way too soon for the Montreal project to reach fruition. Going by that, ME3 would have been announced with a trailer back in March. I'm sticking with my guns and predicting ME3 next Saturday. It's the only one that makes sense. Every other branch of BioWare is completely booked up and they've been working on it for a year.



And our man with the rifle doesn't have the level of detail put in him to be a major player. Remember Shepard in the first shot of the ME2 cinematic trailer? I could count his pores.

[Commandant Bob]

Either way, we'll find out in a week. With this kind of endless back-and-forth we'll never change the opinion of each other, but we sure do waste time.

If it's a multiplayer game, ME3 will be delayed, giving them more time to work on it. So we get a

better ME3 while having a new game to tide us over.

And if it's ME3, that would obviously be awesome.

All that's left for us to do is "Hurry up and wait"

OP has been updated with the latest QR code. See point No.6 on the QR code listing.

[Da_Lion_Man]

Any ideas on what it could mean?

[JustinBB7]

It's 1 big distraction. Really wonder where this is going.

Exactly. My thought is this whole thing was a big distraction just to throw people off and get them curious. Build hype towards the reveal.

At least, that's what I get from the red herring.

[Da_Lion_Man]

I'm going to be a bit annoyed if this isn't a Mass Effect game, I wouldn't mind a new IP but that means I'll have to wait longer to finish this damn trilogy.

[LakeshowAD1986]

If this isn't A Mass Effect game of some sort, BioWare, I will cry.

[royceclemens]

Red Herring, huh? Told you the guy with the rifle was gonna bite it.

[Merchant2006]

A red herring eh? :| I don't know if BioWare is pulling our leg or this actually has some significance ^^

[Xeranx]

Is it "The Secret World"?
