The Reapers attacking London reminds me of the Battle of Britain, maybe thats what Bioware was going for? The Reapers flying over us, dropping bombs on ower citys, men, women and children dead in the streets, and even after coming so close to losing, we will find a way to win.

Again, this has developed into one seriously messed up racist thread. I hope it gets locked. My God, some people....



I am actually suprised this thread hasn't been blocked due to all the xenophobia going on. I guess I will report it just incase nobody has.

Well Im British too (obviously by my comments in this thread) i'm not English though, i'm half Welsh and half Northern Irish, lol.

Maybe BioWare could be convinced to have that Reaper land in Cardiff? ;)



Awsome! London is much bigger and better though, lol. Although I love Cardiff too.

I've not been to Cardiff, though I should have visited when I lived in Swindon, it would have been real easy to get there :unsure: Seven Sisters is lovely, you drive past Beachy Head and you are there in a few minutes (they filmed some of one of the Harry Potter films on Beachy Head, the one with the Quidditch tournement in) And Beachy Head is a five minute drive from Eastbourne town centre :))

It's a city London chose. And a good one too. Why do you people (everyone in the forums) have to so angry at such ridiculous choices. I wonder if people did the same thing with Shepard's name. "Why is he named Shepard? Why not Carl?".

Not everyone, more people seem to like the idea, it's just a vocal minority.

I love that they picked London, personally. It's a great idea, to have the futuristic elements of ME placed in an old and weathered European city. Plus, think of all the cleavage shots from atop Big Ben.



( sorry, the 12 yr old in me is always fighting to get out )

Actually the first thing I did was hit report and I honestly don't ever feed the trolls but this was a stand up and be counted thing for me, tbh!

In the trailer, the British guy said 'Reports are coming in from other major cities, it's a well coordinated attack'... It's not just London.... If you are asking why they showed London being attacked in the trailer,.. Why not?

Strange it hasn't been blocked. I just reported it for what thats worth. Indeed, im from a military family, due to this I can be pretty patriotic at times, with friends and family having died for this country and it's allies.

Yeah, we tend to let folk get away with only so much, British soldiers are dying every day fighting other people's wars. Cos that is what you do for your allies, right? You don't treat them like cr*p and still expect them to put their life on the line for you. Much respect to you and your family for the sacrifices you have made for the rest of us :(

Jeez, why do you think it's directed at you? You made a very sweeping statement earlier, one I find deeply offensive, but the discussion has nothing to do with you now.

This thread needs to get locked. We're just in a racism war at this point and the main topic is lost by now.

So they might have picked London, could have easily been Cardiff, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham or even Glasgow and Edinbourgh. Quite frankly i'm disgusted at the anti - english tone of some people in this thread.
Wonders if the OP would have even dared to try stirring up the Americans, i think not.

Those guys serving in afghanistan be it brits/americans or w/e they got my deepest respect for what they're trying to achieve.

I think a lot of what has been said is more 'banter' than 'racist'. Not all of it though...

I'm thrilled it was a British city, ever since we lost the Empire our children in the colonies dont phone, they dont write, they dont feature us in their alien invasion movies...

Well why not use London? It's pretty rare to see a city outside of the US featured heavily in gaming. Besides, it's just a trailer at this point. Bioware are trying to create some buzz for the game and there's more chance of that happening with London than say, NYC, which is so overused in games these days.

Well, maybe you might give a bit more thought in your future postings to the fact that it might be anonymous on here, but every avatar hides a real human being with real feelings. I forgive you, but I will never forget that you dislike me for the crime I committed of being born English.................
The thing is the British Empire did stamp on the world, we did run riot almost everywhere. BUT we have done a lot of amazing things too............
The daft thing however, is hating on an entire race of people for something that not only did they not do, but their parents didn't do it either........
I'm quite a nice person IRL. I am there for my friends whenever they need me, day or night. I love my kids with my life and would lay down my life for them. I like comedy shows and movies, I love all animals, I am placid but have a wicked sense of humour and if you knew me you would be damn lucky if you could call me friend. But you judged me based on nothing... It just is a bit sad is all.

Why not? As a Yank, I'm relieved that it's another country being invaded for once. I will enoy running across the streets of ol' London saying "NO ONE SCREWS WITH THE MOTHER COUNTRY!! DIE REAPERS!!"

However, I am expecting that the Reapers aren't just targeting Great Britain.

Speaking of which...DAMN YOU, Mass Effect 3! XD That was the plot of my sci-fi story! Aliens attack Great Britain! Now I have to go find another plot. lol j/k.

At any rate. Britain? You have my gun and my eternal loyalty. Never shall the British submit!
