i just want to know, and I've wondered about this since seeing Sovereign in ME1, how are you supposed to fight something that size with a freakin' handgun?

watch the trailer. Reapers drop ground troops

In ME2 with derelic reaper you can enter one and destroy from inside WITH a hand gun 
I know it can be hard to get inside "alive" one but have faith in Shepard!

From the Mass Effect 3 Wikipedia listing:



On the 10th of December, 2010, Electronic Arts posted the official synopsis for Mass Effect 3 on their site, although the listing was later removed pending an official announcement at the 2010 Spike Video Game Awards[7][8]:

Earth is burning. Striking from beyond known space, a race of terrifying machines have begun their destruction of the human race. As Commander Shepard, an Alliance Marine, your only hope for saving mankind is to rally the civilisations of the galaxy and launch one final mission to take back the Earth.





I must say, I have to admit to being disappointed that the sole focus will be on Earth. I suppose it makes sense, but I was kind of hoping on some sort of massive galactic battle, though that would certainly eliminate the great exploration and storytelling masterpieces that were ME1 and ME2. I just hope Bioware doesn't go with some cliche "Oh Earth was the secret to destroying the Reapers after all!" you know, after countless numbers of extinction cycles, the end of the reapers just happens to be on Earth...please no, bioware!

[Baihu1983]

I doubt earth will be the sole focus. They have set up to many other things elsewhere to ignore them.

[kidbd15]

get inside a reaper, figure out how to control it, use it to destroy other reapers

[mxfox408]

how and the hell did the reapers make it to earth from darkspace?

[M33T SH33LD]

Honestly, I hope that the Earth is destroyed and that there is nothing you can do to save it.

^I agree.

We should totally have very anti-climatic ending!

Who said that would be the ending?

I myself hope Earth is lost in the battle, too. With Mass Relay technology, who needs Earth at this point? It's just another planet in the grand scheme of things. 

[CroGamer002]

^OK I can't go sarcastic with that stupid statement.



You really think humanity will just brush aside loss of their homeworld?!

[Yeti13]

it would be cool if Earth was wiped out and Tera Nova essentially became the new Earth. that or will smith comes out of nowhere punches a Reaper in the motherboard and then lights a cigar with Shepard and the IM

[masterkajo]

I think it would be really cool if you somehow get to decide to abondon Earth. Could be that the battle at Earth is very risky (depending on choices from ME1 and ME2) and you can decide to either engage and hope to win saving Earth or wait and fight elsewhere with more of an advantage. Would be a though choice.

good idea

[Fromyou]

if you abandon earth then what other planets would you choose to abandon attack the Reapers while they are distracted and somewhat weaker due to being attacked already on earth

[Aedan_Cousland]

If the Earth is completely destroyed the humans are finished as an up and coming power in the Mass Effect universe.

Humans are relatively new to space and unlike some of the other species who have been in space for centuries, or even millenia, the vast majority of humans were born on, and still live on Earth. None of humanity's colonies would be as developed economically as Earth yet either and many of the newer colonies would be dependant on Earth, and not yet self-sufficient. The loss of Earth would devastate the economy of the Systems Alliance and would result in a severe drop in population. You can't evacuate a couple billion people, and it is likely that well over half all humans living are living on Earth. None of the colonies have populations over a few million yet. Consider that the entire planet of Terra Nova only has about 4.1 million people. That is less people than modern day New York City. Elysium isn't much larger, and half of that planet's population is made up of non-human immigrants.

The loss of Earth is the Reapers key to victory. Humanity is the only race in the game to continue to see the Reapers as a threat still. The council quickly dismissed the fact that they were attacked by a Reaper and called it just another ship. The fact is once Earth is loss than the Reapers can wipe the rest of the galaxy because the council and other aliens never listen to Humans. Reapers know this and thats why they had the Collectors target Human colonies.

the trailer pretty much confirms that Shepard has to unite the races one way or another by force or persuasion, and most humans don't know about the Reaper threat. Only a select few know and even less are doing something about it. One reaper can take out fleets, the Reapers in the trailer can easily wipe out future London + rest of the Major cities. By the time the main fleet from Arcturus reaches the m it will probably be to late for Earth. Even with the largest fleet the Quarians or the most powerful the Geth it will still be a near impossible fight.

[omgodzilla]

I hope we get the option of letting Earth and all of its 11 billion inhabitants die.

[Doug1221]

depending on what you done in the previous 2 can change how badly a planet is hit, say earth.. if you choose to let the council die at the end of ME1 then you would have the stronger alliance because you never lost about 10 of their massive ships in the fight to save the council if so this could minimize damage to earth but if the council survived due to your choices then you would have more influence over the turians/salarians and Asari, same with quarians/krogan etc.. if wrex is alive and if grunt survives then the krogan could have more of an impact on the reapers if they hit a planet, again minimizing damage.

With legion and the geth you re-written, if you did then the geth might help you against the reapers and maybe even attack the reapers fleet alongside the quarians flotilla, that's if you kept tali from being exiled.

Same with the rachni, if you kept the queen alive then they would be a powerful ally against the reapers

nothing has been confirmed but I cannot wait to hear whats coming, E3 2011 will have some suprises for us no doubt.

My dream list of big decisions for ME3 consist of what you just mentioned and the choice of either sacrifing Shepard for a more preserved galaxy or refusing to do so and having an entire race wiped out.

SPOILER COMING UP (ME2) Forgive me if this has been mentioned before, but what does everyone think about the number code given by David at the end of overlord? It looks like it will have some relevance to ME3 but how? It was mentioned in the initial barcode hints that when deciphered mentioned two groups of numbers (something like 901.24 and 30.2)

A lot of players thought that this was this had a coinnection to the atomic mass of iron/Vostok etc, but im left wondering what the repeated inference by David to these numbers , and why "it seemed so harmless..."

I think adding these numbers together = bad times and much harm in ME3!

I dont remember seeing those numbers before when i did Overlord

Wait so is the only place they are attacking on Earth is London at the time?

Only shown in the teaser but the soldier mentioned about reports around the world.They're more than likely to be attacking everywhere...there's more than 6 Reapers show in the end of ME2.

If it's related to the atomic mass of Iron than the death of a star may play some role in the story of ME3, perhaps in the defeat of the Reapers? Or maybe the Reapers figured out how to utilize a dying star to create a wormhole, and use that to arrive in the Milky Way galaxy. That might explain why the Geth were interested in Haelstrom.

Stars More Massive Than the Sun

When the core runs out of hydrogen, these stars fuse helium into carbon just like the Sun. However, after the helium is gone, their mass is enough to fuse carbon into heavier elements such as oxygen, neon, silicon, magnesium, sulfur and iron. Once the core has turned to iron, it can burn no longer. The star collapses by its own gravity and the iron core heats up. The core becomes so tightly packed that protons and electrons merge to form neutrons. In less than a second, the iron core, which is about the size of the Earth, shrinks to a neutron core with a radius of about 6 miles (10 kilometers). The outer layers of the star fall inward on the neutron core, thereby crushing it further. The core heats to billions of degrees and explodes (supernova), thereby releasing large amounts of energy and material into space. The shock wave from the supernova can initiate star formation in other interstellar clouds. The remains of the core can form a neutron star or a black hole depending upon the mass of the original star.

Now you'd think as Earth is our home world it
would be well defended. Alliance defense fleets, Cerberus operatives,
Orbit defense grids, ground base laser silos. But noooo, you would
think after the first contact war, the geth invasion and the abduction
of human colonists, we would learn a lesson and defend
our major planets.


And if you say something about soveriegn destroy an entire fleet heres my already asablisted counterpoints.

- Under the codex it states "no sane commander would face a
dreadnought without a dreadnought of his or her own." Sovereign
obviously knew this and sent the Geth to deal with the destany assention, while
it in turn moved into the citadel and closed its indestructible wings.
- Remember the alliance only lost 8 cruisers when they finished off
the remaining Geth fleet and sovereign. (Less alliance ships were lost
on renegade ending)- That lone reaper was supported by an entire "Heretic Geth Fleet"
- The council was slow to react and did not heed shepherds advice and
sent a large majority of its fleet to different mass relays.
- Sovereign and its Geth allies only fought against turian cruisers
and one Asari dreadnought. Before the allience sent more cruisers to
assist.***

But all in all I will still be getting this game.
