The body that the person is bending over has a Cerberus insignia on the left shoulder. Am I the only one seeing this?

On high res pic I see something on her left sholder, but it doesn't look like cerberus symbol. It looks like three lines under some angle, like military rank. But this is just my crazy thinking.

My guess: the game takes place on Earth during the Cerberus campaign of terror following the First Contact War. According to the wiki, this went on for 20 years, and little has been said about exactly what acts of terror Cerberus committed. Bombing London could easily be one of these.



And it would provide an interesting opportunity to present a young Illusive Man, and possibly a young Anderson. Gameplay could be for either faction; as Cerberus commandos or as alliance black ops teams trying to stop them.



There. I'm probably wrong, but it could work. Maybe

Are we sure that it's related to Mass Effect? Anyone else getting a Shattered Steel vibe here?

alot of people personally I can almost bet it's not shattered steel

It seems a lot more likely that it's Mass Effect-related, but the entire atmosphere seems perfect for SS and flat-out wrong for ME.

I think that we will see Palaven and Thessia. Maybe some other cities on Earth too, perhaps Washington and Moscow. I'd love to see a mediterranean city in the future though, like Rome or Athens.

Rome would be awesome, but personally I'd rather see futuristic Istanbul if there were to be any other European city. Istanbul simply kicks ass and is severely underrepresented - and it being the largest city in Europe if it weren't for the fact that half of it lies in Asia, it would be another strategic target for the Reapers to hit. But a futuristic Moscow or Beijing would be neat too.
However, I don't think we will see more of Earth in the trailer than London. My guess is Thessia, Palaven and Sur'Kesh. And the SR2.

That's exactly it. It makes it equally possible to be either.

Here is a thought. There was an attack on earth...Reapers?

[Da_Lion_Man]

I guess SS2 could surprise a few "hardcore Bioware fans". More than ME3 ever could.

There's no way to be absolutely certain till Saturday, but I think the atmosphere fits perfectly to ME3. We know that the Reapers are coming  and from Kasumi's DLC and Shepard's Earthborn background we also know that Earth isn't just paradise, even without Reaper attacks. I just don't see London being one of ME's Earth's slums, so war seems more likely to me, but since the Statue of Liberty seems to be in an odd shape too, who knows what happened to the Metropolises of Earth until 2185...

People have to remember that America engaged in a Second Civil War just a few years before the first contact war. I dont think this is set on Earth but we can be sure that some of the US would still be in ruins depending on the scale of the war when it happened.

Isn't Shattered Steel about big mechs that ficht mechs? What a sniper has to do with it?

Chris seems yo be active today, thats a bad omen.

Well, he redirected a locked thread into this one, so Bioware doesn't seem to be too worried about this particular leak. Anyway, I don't know that there is much they can do and it's only two more days, so it seems smart to not worry about it. People have been guessing ME in London since the SIS clue 8among other things). So now the question is what other places we might see in the trailer.

I am not talking about anything specific, his very presence on the forum is disturbing. Its not just that, Stanley is here as well.

[EatChildren]

You guys do realise that it's probable that BioWare released this still themselves?

Good point, hadn't thought of that, cheers!
But since you said you don't think this is set on Earth: Check back to pages 4-5 of this thread. I think it's pretty safe to say that the three pics we have seen from the Teaser are set in London, most likely somewhere near the Houses of Parliament.

The color palette seems way off to me. Even that sinkhole of despair called Omega emphasized red, browns, and oranges. I understand the shift from ME1 blue-white to ME2 red-orange-brown to signify a shift of atmosphere, but why turn the entire thing charcoal for a ME spin-off/ME3? 

Plus the whole statement about "hardcore" fans being excited. ME isn't a niche game by any means.

After reviewing the others I change my view to believe that this might be in London. I wont however change my believe that the man on the ground is a Cerberus operative based on the blurry looking insignia.

Well the color palette changed from ME1, so why is it unreasonable to see another change for ME3? 
Just saying. 

This might have been said before:
What if the soldier in the clip is another lone soldier who is looking for Shep, and the crosshairs is just him looking at a bunch of people who he, from a distance, thought could be Shep.

Fair enough .

I can't make out the insignia, so I don't know. The body on the ground seems like a teenager or child to me, sizewise, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I did, I still stand by what I said. You didnt say anything new, just said that you didnt get the new palette. 

The color palette for ME3 might be charcoal-grey or something to signify the destruction. The color in ME2 was orange-brown to signify the grittiness. In ME1 it was blue-white to signify... actually Im not sure what it signifies.

People need to remember that BioWare's CGI trailers are, quite often, a lot darker and grittier in colour palette compared to the real game. Mass Effect 2's cinematic trailer, for example.

Yes, after playing the game you spot the similarities between the locals, but its still a lot more subdued. The firefight at the end that resembles Horizon had far sharper greens and yellows in the actual game, and Purgatory wasn't quite as drab as it looks here.

Its easy to look at this short snippit of CGI and say "Hey, thats not Mass Effect", but outside of the Incisor Rifle we havent even seen any Mass Effect related assets. The teaser was specifically cut to show as little as possible, and to not completely give away the game. Of course what we're seeing doesn't quite look like Mass Effect. If they had soldiers in glowing sci-fi armor and biotics throwing people around they couldn't show it in a teaser without fans picking up on it straight away.

Meh, it's not underrepresented. There are so many meditterenean cities that never got to be in a video game. Not that I don't like the city, but it's difficult to explain why it's unique -history and completely different cultures on the European and the Asian side- in a video game.

it's a 3 days wait for me...

[Busomjack]

I'm actually thinking that these shots are from the ruins of the citadel or Earth after a Reaper attack.

I wouldn't mind if it turns out to be a Mass Effect prequel starring Zaeed Massani!
