I have to ask. If the Reapers had this back door relay. What was the point behind the entire ME2 plot? If they did not kidnap people for their smoothie machine, Cerberus would not have revived Shepard and they would pop through the relay with a "Hi, die, yay!" win button.

I may be missing something here but...

I just finished and I have to say, I thought it was really awesome. Makes me stoked for Mass Effect 3.

@Bourne Endeavor: Either ME2 was just a bunch of sidequests to entertain us while they figure what the hell to do with ME3, or there's going to be a lot of "ohh, NOW I get it" moments in the final game where all the stuff we did in the second one becomes relevant.

Umm I downloaded in 360, but I don't see anywhere in my Galaxy Map to go. Shouldnt something pop up?

I finished arrival and i do think the combat was challenging at times but felt it was a bit too short in my opinion. However it gave monster hints about Mass Effect 3 in my opinion

DO NOT READ BELOW IF YOU HAVE NOT COMPLETED ARRIVAL

shepherd to go to trail for war crimes on earth (admiral hackett told him to go in your justice blues when the alliance calls you to face your actions in arrival DLC pack (this will happen regardless of if you do not have the DLC pack or not))

Normandy to become an alliance vessel (admiral hackett commented saying along the lines of the normandy this is not a cerberus vessel)

Batarians are possibly going to war against the alliance (the actions of shepherd in arrival have given the batarians the excuse to go to war) and the batarians are unlikely to help you in Mass Effect 3 regardless of what happens

The Reapers are obsessed with commander shepherd (more so) they even had the opportunity to kill shepherd but they wanted him alive for the reapers arrival - possibly have plans to use him to their advantage if they can capture him alive (possibly indoctrinate him like Saren was in ME1)

Had the same problem, look at the bottom right of the map. It's kind of easy to miss.

Admiral Hacket should send you a message and speak to you in your cabin, then the map with update...

Huh. I was not aware that Normandy became an Alliance vessel if you destroyed the Collector Base. I kept it and Hackett said he was willing to get on the ship because he thought he should support Cerberus so long as they are willing to do something about the Reapers. It is still a Cerberus vessel in my game.

[Neptin]

Ahhh got it! Thanks guys

 The prison part was different how, because their were buttons to push?  Apparently you can stealth it, but it still came down to turning corners and shooting enemies.

No apparently about it; you can stealth it.

If you want to simply turn the corner and shoot the Batarian guards, then you can, but this is the first time in a Mass Effect game that you've really had the option and ability to sneak past. There was a myriad of different entrances - not all of them obvious - and it made for a nice change of pace.

[Funker Shepard]

So, what research is in there? I found a Heavy Weapon Ammo and a Heavy Skin Weave, did I miss anything?

I'm pretty sure you're taking what Hackett says out of context. Saying the Normandy isn't a Cerberus vessel doesn't automatically mean its an Alliance vessel. If you look at it another way, he can be inferring that its Shepard's vessel.

[Unato]

nup I don't think you did... and I did not know about stealth(ing) the place, neat idea

 Since I'm tired as hell, I'll keep this to pros and cons. 

Pros
-A good amount of story and questions I had previously wondered about were answered. 
-The CG was really nice(Though relay arms could've been better when blowing outward)
-Admiral Hackett in the flesh
-Interesting ways to get through the levels, even if it's mostly linear. 

Cons
-The game was constantly breaking my immersion. An example would be Shepard calling out like I had a team with me. 
-The transistions were jarring and were off at times. 
-It's really hard for me to believe that the security team wouldn't keep sedating Shepard and how she ended up in the room with a control for a Loki mech was a bit too convienent. Nevermind waking up in time to save the day. 
-Shepard eating that blast by Kenson. Yes, I'm in armor, but Kenson's body was completely obliterated and I had not a scratch. Nevermind blasting against the wall. 
-The end could've had more enemies. Difficulty on hardcore or above would probably fix this, I guess. 

Overall, it was alright. This is the 2nd time we've stopped a Reaper invasion and they will still be here. 

Edit: Stealthed this mission on the first run. The batarians are dumb as hell when it comes to AI and there were tiems they were looking me right in the face and didn't do anything. It's an interesting way to get through the level, though.

Just finished on Insanity. Object Rho fight *might* be the hardest thing in the game. Can't wait to see what the perfect playthrough guys do with it.
I didn't catch the video SergeySW found. Did anybody else?

It's just a shame that there wasn't an interesting boss fight. Overlord and LotSB had two apiece.

That IMO is the main thing I  missed as well.  Sure, the waves of enemies kept it intense and challenging but the lack of a boss fight made what could've been an epic DLC into simply a really good one.

4/5

Guys, I've seen this video - the user claims it can be found in the Arrival 'Movie' folder. In this short video I can clearly see:

SPOILERS

Reaper harvesting the Citadel
A bunch of characters on Illium: TIM, Ashley, Joker, Chakwas, Mordin, Garrus (ones I was able to clearly identify, the silhouettes seem to suggest there are more NPCs there)

It's also said the video isn't used in the Arrival per se. Possible ME3 stuff?

Can someone verify whether it's legitimate or not?

No no no. The Reapers are/have been travelling from dark space to the relay, not coming through it to get into our Galaxy. They are going to use the Alpha Relay to quickly spread to the other systems.

I think as you finish the DLC the Reapers have arrived, destroying the relay just makes them spend another 2 months travelling to get to another Relay.

Honestly, I can't wait to download it?
Where can we download this to play it? From normal http://social.bioware.com/page/me2-dlc Also here Social Bioware on the ME2 DLC page? Games -> ME2 -> DLC?
When I go there, there is nothing new, also no Arrival to buy and download... Did anyone from Europe download it already or is it just for USA then?
I check since hours for this DLC and everyhting I can do is just read your posts. D:

He's doesn't quite say it's an Alliance vessel but if you destroyed the Collector base (telling TIM  what to go do with himself) then he comments on it not being a Cerberus vessel anymore given your actions.

Seems legitimate, but it's kind of hard to make out what's going on.

I see Ashley.

I think i spotted the Mako, in the dirt with the SR1's corpse in the background. 0:01 May have to fiddle with it to find it.

EDIT: Lol, with shepards old Helmet on a pike at the front!

Pause at 0:06 and your entire squad is there.

My main fear from the spoilers is Shephard's 'future trial'. I really don't want yet another game of everyone being against Shephard. This is just getting tiring.

Now if they're setting up the trial and the Reapers arrive on Earth and go 'WTF...REAPERS...he was right!' maybe. But gah.

If you're on PC, I don't think it comes out until 9 AM PST. Someone might need to confirm that for me, though.
