The trailer doesn't say anything about what happens on other worlds, Hell all the home worlds could be experiencing the same as Earth.

I realized, if they just attack the mass relays straight up, then the combined forces can't get to each other, and its an instant reaper win.

The mass effect relays are indestructible. The Mu Relay survived a supernova

Plus, the reapers left the relays o make future civilizations evolve as they want them to, so they probably want them intact.

Soooo exactly how are the Reapers supposed to get from place to place? By taking the citedel they keep other races from using the relays, but they still make use of them. Destroying them outright would cost them their ultimate goal.

I think people really need to chill  on this, because now your really just looking for any excuse to hate on this game. I saw this same attitude rise up during the lead up to ME 2, DA:O, and DA 2. It's getting a little old now.

I'm in no way hating on the game, couldn't want it to be one year later tommorow anymore then I do now .

But yeah like this guy said, they probably need them for the next species. 
But couldn't they just make new ones or something, and make the whole process of you know, indoctrinating all life in the known galaxy a whole lot easier.

How much raw material, energy and time would be lost making a new Mass Relay network? Honestly doing that would likely cost the Reapers so much in the way of resources that it would cripple their future efforts if it wasn't just outright impossible. We know they have finite power and material available to them. Each time they assault the galaxy they are essentially restocking their stores. If they have to waste those stores rebuilding the network then they may not last long enough, or be to weak to win the next time they attack the galaxy.

In all honesty this attack on earth is likely a desperation move. They've been in darkspace centuries longer than they intended to be. They are weakened, vulnerable and its time to make those"metal mother******!" Pay for every single person they ever killed in their long misbegotten history.

There are a lot of assunptions there. First, are the reapers replenishing their supplies or are they just ammounting them? If they were so desesparate, they wouldn't start their ME2's project, instead they would attack right in the end of ME1. 
.
And about the topic itself, just stop. There is no answer to this in the trailer and no one knows. We have to wait... but I don't think people will see reason and will have to wait till new information so this will end. 

[Nohvarr]

I could point out the information revealed by Vigil, as well as things said by Legion. I think I have sufficient information to argue my point of view. However, I will, for now, hold my tongue and wait for further information. Though I do reserve the right to speak up again on this subject.

[matt30822]

Maybe the reason why this battle on earth is taking so long as people are putting it is because the reapers do not want to wipe out humanity (well completely at any rate). I am willing to bet that if the reapers did want to target earth, it fall quite easily and the numbers of people dead would have been larger than 7 million. Instead, the reapers are going to continue their plans for a human reaper, as well as possible enslavement as "the next collectors" if you will, which requires the reapers to be more careful and obviously it takes more time rounding up humans alive to use as slaves/genetic material then it is to fire a laser.

Weren't Reapers almost invincible?

Spreading out would be the smartest thing to do.

Not really.  ME1 showed that.  Why would Soveriegn need a fleet to help him take over the citadel if he and the Reapers are invincible?

[droid105]

I wonder if this trailer will be the intro to ME3 or just a teaser?

[Severyx]

I highly doubt Earth is going to be the first place hit by the reapers. I saw this as the reapers finally making good on their threat to get into the galaxy and make a mess of things. As for collection of humans, I doubt they are on earth to do that. It looked pretty clear from what I saw that the reapers were destroying everything. Plus, they can't use husks (I assume that's what the soldier shot) for genetic material to build a reaper, so why make them at the richest source of genetic material for such a cause? I bet the reapers could have seen Shepard's destruction of the [censored: spoiler] as a sign that humanity isn't interested in 'ascending'.



It just got real, is all. Reapers doing what they do. Let's just hope Shepard has that galactic armada at his back.

[wizard07]

I think it could be a battle for the entire galaxy , with the final battle taking place on earth.

[Merchant2006]

You gotta remember, Shepard has really annoyed the Reapers. Foiling their plot to use Sovereign to call forth the Reaper fleet via Citadel, destroying the collectors and halting their entry there, and Harbinger literally stating clearly that the Reapers have a vendetta against Shepard and he has "gained the attention of those infinitely his greater". Pretty much the Reapers know what Humanity is capable of and sees them as a direct threat.



And you gotta remember: The Reapers don't have a Death Star Superlaser. It takes a really long time to bombard an entire planet and eradicate everything, as seen with the Protheans. The fact that the scientists worked for ages, perhaps even years after the Reapers invaded the galaxy proves that it is a long process of elimination.

We have no idea as of what the Reapers are targeting at the moment but I would assume (lol) that destroying Humanity = destroying Shepard = eliminating their main threat.

I think we have to consider the marketing behind the trailer. I wouldn't be surprised that in the beginning of ME3 Earth is not even under attack yet. This is something one have to keep in mind always.

I bet Earth is going to be attacked in the beginning of ME3. Otherwise, it would be too much of a spoiler to have half of the game to be played with the knowledge of what's going to happen.

The marketing side of the trailer is this: it's going to be a stand-alone game, ready to accomodate new customers with a generic Hollywood plotline: Earth's under attack, go save it.

I don't think Earth is the only planet that's going to be hit, although based on what humanity(Shepard) has done to thwart the Reaper advance so far, the Reapers might consider Humans a great threat that the other species and focus mostly on them.

[A Killing Sound]

Anyone else think that the attack on Earth is to lure Shepard into a trap ala Return of the Jedi?

I dont think Earth is the only planet under attack. If it was the rest of thee other races could band tgether and amount a counter attack as all the enemy is in one area. I think a lot of worlds will e attacked at the same time which will mean that the council fleets will be stretched fighting in many sectors.



The trailer was a gret little teaser and the fact that was set in London with the old buildings suck as big ben with big skyscrapers in the background adds to the terror as their are iconic building we recognise under attack.



Will be interesting to see what else comes along in way of teasers and such.

If reapers attacked only Earth, it should fall in few hours....

Yeah the fact they have been a week and are still fighting pisses me off. Its like benezia in ME1 hyped up then she just opens a few doos and gets shot and dies... They just change the way things should be to let people win, which is wrong imo.


Soverign and a feth fleet got to the citadel fine.

And were utterly DESTROYED by... guess, come on, I dare you.
And in a few hours, no less. I'd even dare say it didn't get to one hour before the 5th Fleet (humans!) killed Sovereign.

Yes because I am sure that would have happened had there been multiple reapers *rolls eyes* just because they beat one and a few geth, dosent mean they could beat mutliple, multiple would increase reaper fire power, and they wouldnt all be able to focus on just one. Sorry but if it was another reaper soverign would live, everyone else would die.

[Bebbe777]

I certainly hope the galaxy is under attack, not just little Earth. It would make the game more epic and massive

It's not really much of a spoiler, it's obvious from ME2 that the Reapers would be going after Earth. Agreed about the marketing, although I doubt the story will be that straightforward.
