The genteel Brits can persuade the Reapers to leave with their superior linguistic skills.

Firstly, I'm an American and firearm enthusiast.  I'm actually fairly competent with a revolver, but I'm no sharpshooter.  So watch who you're hastily generalizing, my friend.

My point is that having guns has very little to do with whether or not you'll survive.  Husks attack in groups and tend to sneak around behind you.  Without armor or shielding, you're dead.  Furthermore, it takes a helluva lot to take down a scion or praetorian, therefore one guy, even one with an SUV loaded with weapons, is probably getting pwn't.

A Reaper invasion is bad news for everyone.  If I could take them out with my cute little peashooter, there'd be no need for ME3.

Hey now, I'm not calling you 400 pounds I was responding to your claim that most Americans can't walk a mile. Yes husks tend to attack in groups, but not all the time, and they aren't all that smart. If a husk is alone and sees you it will start running at you regardless of how many buddies it has. In that case a pistol can save your life.

But yeah if you run into 20 of them or a scion or praetorian your out of luck. But it is always best to go down fighting. It isn't about one man with a pistol stopping the reapers, it is about some poor guy doing what he can like the sniper in the trailer.

Seems the turians have the right idea if what you say is true.

I'd have thought they would attack the place with the biggest population first. So China or India would make more sense to me. Just sayin, and I'm fine with that. **** if I'm going to be in the city that gets hit first.

Well, if Shepard doesn't come through with help soon, there's always The Doctor.

Aye, the brits look to be in a spot of bother if the ME 3 trailer is anything to go by.

I concur. This is most unfortunate, indeed. The port is quite delectable, though.

Indubitably.

What are you going to do though if all the heat sinks are made in the uk,all those guns you have will be useless once the husks are done eating us!

For about five minutes.  The shot will alert his buddies and they'll all come after you, too.  The only thing that'll save you for sure is to sneak away quietly to the countryside, away from any major population centers.  But even then, you aren't safe; one of you could be indoctrinated.  Or all of you could be.

If you're going to survive, it's best to avoid a fight at all and just run and hide.  As for putting up a fight, I'd say a shotgun is about on par with a frying pan when it comes to self-defense in an invasion like this.

Big Ben's an absolute BAMF, by the way.

The turians actually have military training.  They'd know how to respond to such an attack.  Even that one cute and harmless school nurse has combat experience and could probably kick your ass.

And that's why turians are awesome.

I would like to see the Reapers attack Switzerland too. Attacking Switzerland, a country that likes to be neutral in wars, to me represents the war against of all humanity on Earth better than if they were just attacking places like London or Washington.

To be honest i think they showed footage of London being attacked as it has universally recognisable landmarks and New york was still recovering from the Cloverfield monster attack.

I'm glad they picked London, frankly. That shot of the Reapers tearing it up was iconic. If they'd chosen, say, America, I just wouldn't have cared.

"Oh, look. The White House blew up. Yawn."

Seriously, I think I'm the only one in this country that realizes we aren't the center of the universe.

Ooh!  Me!  Me!  I realize that, too!

The casualty figures and Big Ben's accent gave me a real Battle of Britain feel.  Time for a stiff upper lip, and all that.  It was very inspiring.  More then a few friends have drawn links with Lord of the Rings, and 'Gondor calls for aid.'

Here's looking forward to Shepard's impression of King Theoden!  'DEATH!'

[Dr. Doctor]

 That and the whole New York is attacked/destroyed/enslaved by aliens thing has been done to death.

Switzerland would actually hold out for about 5 minutes longer than everyone else simply because everyone is packin an assault rifle in their garage!!! National conscription is startin to sound like a good idea...

The reapers will eventually get around to the rest of the planet however, hiding in the countryside may buy you some time, but not forever. As for self-defense at least with the shotgun you may be able to take out a couple (or many if you are good and they aren't scions or praetorian) before you die. When you will almost certainly die you might as well strive to make your death useful and take out as many as you can. Brit sniper is doing that. That lady running around on the ground... not so much.

And indeed, turians are badass.

Better yet, the Brits can use a drive by argument to intimidate the Reapers to leave:

They'll acquire some of the Monthy Pyton footage and their sytem will melt down.
