Okay, based on the trailer here's my ideal portrayal of ME3's beginning, I'm gonna try and keep it short because I'm tired.



You'll start the game off slowly, I doubt they'll have the explosion ME2 started off with.(literally and in reference to the first mission's pacing) I would expect a few BS missions, not things that make you wonder "What the hell am I doing here?" More likely things that hold a purpose, some training(Displaying techniques for different reaper constructs to recruits were I to guess), briefing different groups/races on the Reaper threat and perhaps reconnecting with some of your already allied groups(after all, you don't even know where the Rachni are if you saved them).



It would all culminate with a satalite orbiting Earth(I doubt you'd be in London seeing as if you were you'd be SoL so far as escaping), you have finally worked your way down, finishing off the Council and the non-Council groups and are in front of the Alliance admirals(You finally get to meet Hackett in person too) and while Dr. Solus explains, in somewhat long winded detail the strategic weak points of the reapers(As you got Harbinger's schematics at the end of ME2) an exasperated foot soldier runs in and interrupts the entire conference.



You would see video footage of a Reaper touching down on Earth, Husks(or Collectors perhaps) streaming out by the thousands, there would be a mad rush to make your way out, taking your personal shuttle back up to the SR-2(Being newly upgraded with all the shiniest Reaper derivative tech your many many resources could afford) and rocket off towards the nearest relay, desperate to get beyond it to spread word of what's happened.



Earth would still be your Eden Prime, your Freedom's Progress, but you would have a longer Normandy or Cerberus Base. Personally, I would put Earth in at around 3-4 hours in, luring you to a false sense of security. But maybe that's just me.

Ofcourse there's definitely going to be something big thats going to turn the tide. Perhaps there is something hidden on Earth by previous civilizations (not even Protheans necessarily,) that could do some serious **** to the Reapers...like the mass accelerator cannon that took out a Reaper and left a canyon hundreds of miles long on a planet thousands of lightyears away.

Link it back to the first game. There were so many references to pre-prothean civilizations. The Leviathan of Dis, Kumun Shol seeking out the "lost crypts of beings of light", the ruins on Junthor, The Zeoph crypts, and the Great Rift Valley on Klendago which was made approximately 37 million years ago. There's a "super computer" planet Ploba, which they could easily tie back into it being a weapon against the Reapers.

That's right, ME3 is about to get an epic "companion".

Once, humans thought that Earth was the center of the universe. Science taught us that it orbited the sun. Then told us that we were just one of a billion solar systems and sat at the edge of the Milky Way.

What does science fiction tell us? That Earth is the center of the universe.

No it tells us that humans are the most dangerous SoBs in the galaxy  lol

No, Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest SoB in space.  Thats why the Reapers are attacking Earth because Newton came from earth.

If they are physically moving through space, it seems it will take them as long as it took the Local Cluster to reach the Serpent Nebula. It seems the Krogan DMZ is right in their path, as well. Noveria, Eden Prime, and Terra Nova are right within range as well, if they're willing to split up forces.

It seems they might need to blow up the Citadel if they want to keep it from Reaper...tentacles.

Why would the Reapers want the Citadel? Surely they've done something about the Mass Relay by now. Other than the mass relay, I don't see why the Citadel is that important. But I might just be overlooking something.

Oh goody. The entire galaxy must prepare itself to face the reaper threat and what does BW do? They give us a tired, worn out plot. Once more, earth is attacked by aliens.

Well, at least ME1 has replayability.

You know, people begged and begged and begged to visit Earth the last two games. Now we are. I'm pleased.

Also, how does the temperature hint fit into what we saw on the trailer?

I think it had to do with the barcodes.  Mass of Fe and Coldest Temperature on Earth.

Mass of Fe CT E

Mass Effect.

(The funny thing is that I discounted this theory, joke's on me)

Where is ZuluDFA anyways? I am in need of conspiracy theories and my horoscope.

He hanged himself when he realized that Shep was not put on trial or whatever...

Anyways... why people seem to think that the whole game is going to be on Earth?

Meh considering my disagreement with some of Zulu's views, I still think the trial thing could happen...

Shepard could initially be blamed for this attack, the council claiming he has gone rogue like Saren (or maybe even worse, claiming it was Shepard all along)

If we're going out to get people to come help get Earth back, I think we won't be on Earth much at all. Other than near the end and maybe at the start.

We've seen this before, both at the beginning, middle, and end of the game/book/movie/other form of media entertainment. The best that'll happen is the Alliance making up a mock trial and calling him guilty without even sending an invitation. And nobody will notice, since its absolutely unimportant.

I love Mass Effect to pieces, but I need to be honest. I'm extremely disappointed by what I've seen sofar. Very, and I'm actually kind of sad. Literally sad.

Mass Effect is my favorite game series and story ever. Up until now, it is literally The Best Piece Of Fiction Ever. It was so awesome seeing the Reapers. But I cannot get excited, as much as I want to be. As one of your die hard fans, I feel extremely, immensely disappointed.

This is basically it in a nutshell for me.

The EA merger has been a mixed bag. On the one hand: more money! Better advertising! Better resources! All positive changes for the developer and the game in general.

On the other? The more money is spent... the more units have to be sold to offset the cost. So the RPG elements, the tactical elements... the more original, and perhaps less commercial aspects of the story begin to vanish. I felt the beginnings of that in Mass Effect 2... and now it's looking (and, mind you, this is just what I'm intuiting based upon what we have seen and been told) like the third will be a continuance of that philosophy.

Well, exactly that--the Mass Relay. For millions and millions of years now, they've had one, single attack strategy: Get the Citadel, get the galaxy. The Citadel is currently out of their reach--with it, they control all of the Mass Relays, communications, the hub of galactic civilization.

They have the power to travel between stars, but the civilizations of galaxy currently rely on the Relays to travel from place to place. Without them, they'll be unable to mobilize in time to save whatever planets the Reapers strike, and without communications, they won't even know until it's far too late.

No one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No one could have dreamed we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets and yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this Earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us.



Eve of War! Reapers been watching us a long time

The biggest letdown and cause of my disappointment is, as mentioned by many of my fellow fans, is the focus on Earth.  But I cannot get excited, as much as I want to be. As one of your die hard fans, I feel extremely, immensely disappointed.

Oh for god's sake, you've seen a one minute trailer for a 30+ hour game, and it was obvious from ME2 that Earth was a prime target for the Reapers. You're just jumping to the most negative conclusions based on practically zero evidence.

[AventuroLegendary]

People REALLY need to stop making conclusions from teaser trailers.

[theBioticGod]

I had to watch the video multiple times; It-- it was amazing. I am definitely pre-ordering this when it is released. This cinematic was very epic and enriched my mind with my previous knowledge of Mass Effect to what was seen in the video, creating the greatest thrill of all time.

The Citadel controls the entire mass relay network. If the Reapers take control of the Citadel, they can shut down the relays and cut every single planet off from one another, leaving them to fend for themselves, while the Reapers can use the relays at will and wreak havoc across the galaxy.

Not at all.  Been playing 'save the earth' games since they first game out.  Yes, I'm that old.  Don't need another one.

And the reason the Reapers need the Citadel is because it is the Master Control for the entire relay system.  Destroy it and the Relays shut down totally.  If they control it, they control who can use them, IE, themselves.

Once again, just because a trailer/teaser is set in earth, doesn't mean that the game is entirely set in earth.
