I love how reminiscent of the beginning of ME1 Shep staring out a window at Earth is. Considering how much the CGI trailers for ME games differ from the same events in the games themselves I'm not worried about any inaccuracies or strangeness at this point, the trailer does it's job of setting the scene for the third game and getting (most of) us excited. I feel certain that the events surrounding the attack on Earth and Shepard's new mission will be portrayed completely differently in game. I just hope the British sniper is recruitable.

And London in the ME universe! Awesome! They even put in the London Eye, I'm impressed it's still standing at all let alone in the midst of a Reaper invasion.

I feel sorrow for the ME forums though, over at the DA2 forums we've been battling nitpickers and ill informed complainers for months now, I expect it'll start anew over here pretty soon.

"2 million haters whining in the first day, another 7 million whining by the end of the first week. Every tiny fact blown out of proportion, all reason and hope on the run. Don't know what they are, where they came from, why they whine so much. Only one thing is certain: Shepard will put all the whiners to rest."

seriously people just bask in the excitement lawl

"Your species has the attention of those infinitely your greater." Maybe this is why the Reapers started with Earth?

[Reichenbach]

One thing to say for the " Why humans?" question. Shepard blow up Sovereign and a collector base, the rest of universe don't.

Jesus. Christ. I am so hyped right now I can't even express it in words. Oh my god, someone help me. Please. I think I peed myself but I don't know because I can't even feel anything. I can't stop watching the trailer...

As a previous poster mentioned, if the Reapers could have made it back to our galaxy using normal mass drives, why not start chugging towards our galaxy when the "Reaper signal" failed to activate the relay in the first place?

I hope they answer these questions, and give the collector plot some merit other than "We needed someone to shoot at in ME2".

1. Hopefully, the plot of ME2 built your team for 3, and established how Reapers reproduce, while exhausting the Collector option, prompting them to come to the galaxy.

2. As stated above, the Collector plan was probably sort of a "plan C" ("plan B" being Sovereign come back to indoctrinate someone of power, build an army, and activate the conduit manually). Now that the second contingency plan has failed, the Reapers see no more options.

I'm pretty sure Saren was a fortunate accident, although the heretic geth was a bold move on Sovereign's part.

I would agree that it's possible that we may see more of the Collectors in Mass Effect 3. We know reapers can store organic life forms so it's perfectly reasonable to believe that some of the Reapers have some Collectors on board they can deploy as shock troops.

The central plot of ME2 was about revealing the motivations of the Reapers.

And about Shepard building up a kick ass team to fight off the oncoming onslaught. Very, very relevant.

London is under attack? Screw Shepherd, call The Doctor!

[aeetos21]

and people are going ape**** again, whatever i'm done trying to tell people to chill out. did it the entire time leading up towards me2 and if people want to freakout over things they have no idea whatsoever about then that's their perogative.

i liked the trailer and how they subtly mentioned that if shepard didn't hurry up then there might not be an earth left to save. that was the biggest clue as to what shepard will be doing at the start of me3 (reminds me of when we first learned that the normandy and shepard would be destroyed in me2 and people were thinking it'd happen towards the middle or end which made no sense given we saw the footage of picking up all the new recruits up in the new normandy).

a lot of this trailer was redundant but a lot of the theories and rumors were confirmed so...

1) Yes it was London we saw
2) It appears that humanity is ready to embrace Shepard again since he was the one preparing for the reaper threat all along
3) Shepard needs to rally and coordinate the galactic fleets as well as recruit his own team to stop the reaper threat (that will likely happen before he reaches earth)
4) Somehow the reapers made it into our galaxy without using the citadel mass relay (which was probably the reason the collectors were building the human reaper in the first place but since THAT failed the reapers were forced to take a more difficult approach to conquering the galaxy again)
5) Evidently saving the council, the choice about the collector base, as well as gathering allies all throughout the prior two games will now payoff or hurt you since you need allies.


*Yawn,* bout all I can think of for now. The holiday 2011 release is the biggest bomb drop of all and I look forward to seeing some live demos at E3. LAterz

[Uhh.. Jonah]

Big Ben Sniper = Sam Worthington.

[AventuroLegendary]

I'm guessing this is where the reapers finally show themselves and it won't be a mystery anymore.

[scrotimusmaximus]

Guys I'm not in the States and can't find the answer online. When are the "2011 Holidays" in USA? Searchig just brings up Federal holidays....

You all seem to assume that Mass Effect should be centered around the position of humanity in the galaxy. This is just what I hate about most sci-fi's, they give you a universe full of interesting characters and races and yet they don't focus on for any reason. At first, most of the reasons that Harbinger gives for the alien races not being used instead of humans are good, but one specifically stands out: the turians.

"Too Primitive"

Really? Seriously, Bioware? Turians are "too primitive" while Humans have barely begun exploring space?

What, are you taking ideas from fanfictions?

I think he ment it in a genetic level and not in a social level. They were not making us into reapers because were socially superior.

That argument doesn't/shouldn't work at all. Turians have been around for much longer than humans, assuming their evolution goes at the same pace as that of humanity.

Hell, what's their argument for not using the Yahg? They're basically perfect, no? And don't give me that "they don't know about them" - I'm fairly sure the Reapers would know something like that, especially since Saren - the most trusted citadel spectre - was controlled by one.

Salarians are diverse enough to have their own sub-species, live for about 40 years and thus have higher reproduction rates, have been space-faring far longer, and humans still beat them out?

Krogans show amazing adaptability and originally reproduced at insanely high rates yet have nothing in their genes to show for it?

Yes, it's stupid.

The krogans are severely endangered, and probably wouldn't have the population to support a new reaper. They also aren't as clustered as humans are.

Salarians have one of the shortest life spans, a result of their metabolism.

Life-span and metabolism won't matter one bit once a race is immortalized in a machine. Reapers are built to be immortal. Neither would the Quarians' weak immune system, which was an excuse Harbinger gave. 

And the Reapers could easily fix the genophage.

Oh man...



Sovereign attacking Eden Prime was devastating...



London won't have much chance against multiple reapers.

Aw you beat me to the joke. As I was watching the trailer all I could think is where the hell is the doctor?

I was about to go to bed when I realise the game had been announced.

I'm now too excited to sleep!

[Giantevilhead]

It's obvious that the reason why the Reapers are after earth is because we hunted giant squids to extinction in the early 21st century and now the Reapers want vengeance. That means in order for Shepherd to save humanity. He'll have slingshot around the sun in the Normandy at warp 9 so that he could travel back in time and find a pair of giant squids at an aquarium, then bring them back into the future so that they could communicate with the Reapers and stop their attack.

[Googlesaurus]

Hey guys, genius idea:

Maybe the Reapers are attacking Earth because they're pissed off.

For some reason I found the London Eye being in the trailer amusing

Yes, the squadmates recruited only for the suicide mission that could all die and thus won't be returning in a significant way for ME3. Yes... they'll be very useful against the Reapers.

The human-reaper was the only thing in ME2 relevant to the Reaper plot. The rest was filler. It was filler that made sense and was appropriate, but filler all the same.
