 I only hope Walters doesn't dumb down reapers inteligence even more by attacking only Earth because that would be the dumbest thing to do... I hope that they are spread out in the galaxy and Earth is mentioned only as one of the planets which are under attack since what kind of general would sit on one planet while everyone out there is gathering strenght...

I think spreading out their forces while they're in a potentially vulnerable position would be a dumber thing to do. They need to establish a beach head from which to move out since they effectively no longer have control of the Citadel.

It takes them considerable ammount of time to destroy one planet...they already know Shepard is capable of destroying them and leaving him traveling around while gather more force while they sit in spot is very unwise...noone has believed him up until this moment...element of surprise is in their hands and throwing away that kind of chance does not go well with machines cold logic but rather arogant organic behavior...

It depends on how many Reapers there are. For all we know, the Reapers had to pool their power reserves to send through a small group to gain a foothold.

[Kurt Cobain]

there were 290 reapers or something in that last picture of ME2 right? say there are a total of 500 reapers, they together should have no trouble taking earth quickly, and have something lik 50 scouts watching relays nearby. Earth falls, reapers SLOWLY work their way through the galaxy. Vigil said that they took a long time with the protheans, they will work even more cauteous now, because they are facing a more advanced civilazation

The Reaper fleet has probably divided. Only a handful are attacking Earth. The rest are, most likely, busy obliterating other major planets.

Assisting the species that are under attack could be the way to gain their loyalty.

Another question that pops out...it seems like Thanix Cannons are useless against them?

So why don't they attack the Citadel?

[scarface71795]

I think the citadel is going to be fought over again
But this time it's an urban battle to take over the entire station block by block and then the Reapers send some from Earth to try to close the Relays and Shep will have to fight a few there Maybe with the Turians backing you up again
Edit
Post above please read this
Good timing:)

Exactly from strategic point of view it is far more important than Earth no matter what...in ME1 reapers knew that. In ME3 they seem to forget...

So it's a plot hole?

Because the Citadel will be closed as soon as they see the Reapers approaching.

To quote my friend shepard_lives: "So the Reapers are attacking Earth just to troll Shepard?"

I'm not sure if I'm alone in my thinking on this, but for story and plot reasons, I honestly believe Earth is a great focal point. My reasons:



1. Reapers seem to have a huge interest in humanity - Collectors targeting humans, Human Reaper Hybrid, etc. Maybe it's as Mordin observed, that humans are more genetically diverse than the other races and the Reapers want to base their next generation on them. Maybe the Illusive Man's view is right, that the Reapers took an interest after Shepard was able to take down Sovereign. In any case, humans are the PRIIIZE.



2. Strategically keeping Shepard off-guard - seeing as Shepard is the Reapers' greatest single threat, they want to distract him. Like the Patriarch said, kill a man's family, make him angry, so he'll slip up. While a distraction force attacks Earth, maybe the main portion of the Reapers' force are doing real damage to the rest of the galaxy.



3. Maybe it's on the edge of space closest to wherever the Reapers are coming from - have you noticed that our solar system is on the "southern" end of the galactic map? In ME1, we headed "east" from Earth and the Citadel. In ME2, we were on the "north" end. Maybe Earth really just have the bad luck of being closest to the Reapers.



So all this is part experience from ME1 and ME2, part speculation, but overall I'm pretty satisfied that we'll finish the fight on humanity's home turf. It does escalate the emotional impact for us players, since I guess most of us on this board are Earth humans (I know some of you weirdos are from outer space, I can tell from reading your crazy posts).

[homosectual]

I agree with you on the most part but I believe to create a more intimidating depiction of the reapers, BioWare would have the Reapers' attack on a galactic scale. I'm not saying every single planet, but the major planets that hold of high value to each species. But the largest attack should be on Earth since the reapers acknowledge what humans such as Shepard are capable of. So what I'm saying is that the reapers aren't attacking only Earth.

[archurban]

well, we only saw 1 minutes teaser. if you are not dumb, Earth will not be only place to battle against reapers. you know. we will be playing ME 3 more than 40-60 hours at least. so you know what I am talking about. don't ask stupid question. Bioware knows how story will go, game play will be. it's not what you worry about. you are not a developer.

[Marzillius]

This worries me. I thought there would be an awesome story with the whole galaxy under attack, like the Reapers has always done before. Why are they only attacking Earth? It seems very... silly.



Well, I'll of course get the game.

[Alienmorph]

They started from earth 'cause their reproductive cycle, then probably they'll spread all over the galaxy. In terms of plot makes sense... we'll have to annihalte them now that they're concentred in one place.

[scarface71795]

It makes sense that they would want to take out the biggest military power in the galaxy that can actually and have hurt them

I think the alliance has put the Normandy class into full Production and are going to use them against the Reapers

I also think Shepard will be in Command of Arcturus station with Hacket(please bring him back)

[Da3mon1991]

As said: they're probably not only targeting earth, but Earth's the most relevant planet for Shepard and humanity. So that's where the focus for the game will be, since we're playing as Shepard/Human Alliance.

[this isnt my name]

Its stupid, they should fgo after the citadel, close the relays and keep the galaxy isolated, no species knows how to make thier own relay. But nope I get the feeling the reapers will be made into idiots so shepard can win.

The fleet at the citadel has got the station locked up tighter than a new vegas virginB)
I'm guessing they finally believe Shepard and Have put thousands of ship there no matter what happens elsewhere
Because they know they would be cut off if the reapers took it
So they are probably all armed with Thanix cannons and all the high tech weaponry they could get while the thousands of other ships fight for the planets.
And if they do attack the fleets would rush to the station and the reapers would be even more outnumbered than at the first battle

[Fiery Phoenix]

I'm sure the whole Earth thing is only a small portion of the game. They chose it for the teaser because it looks appealing and many of us were hoping for it.

[nov_pl]

Mybe they are just "furious". Maybe they wanted to butcher humans capital planet before anything else. Maybe they're overconfident?

We don't know however what planets are they attacking. We don't know weather they attacked the Citadel or not.
