This isn't confirmed btw. We know TIM is after Shepard, and Casey says it might appear they're working for the Reapers but we'll have to play the game to discover the real reason.

It's not as clear-cut as all that. As the source cited says [emphasis added]:

"Jack Harper escaped with his life and became the Illusive Man, but that close contact with a Reaper artifact clearly affected him, leaving his eyes forever changed, usually an early sign of indoctrination.

"... Could Jack Harper have been indoctrinated, all the way back at the First Contact War's end? Yes, and signs are pointing to that being the truth, at least a bit. He has terrorized humanity and alien races alike. He has discovered more about the Reapers through testing and theft of Reaper technology than anyone else. He very well could be the
Reapers' ultimate test of how much to take from humanity before destroying all organic life"

========

It is significant that in Mass Effect: Retribution that Paul Grayson was so able to resist Reaper indoctrination that, despite a massive direct injection of the thing that causes it through his skull and directly into his brain, that his tormentors wound up injecting him with Red Sand to collapse his resistence and speed up the process. From the description given in that book, TIM would have a lot more than weird eyes after 30 years if he weren't resisting indoctrination successfully.

In the new Squad Leader trailer and the new screenshots, it looks like Shep has an omniblade of fire, which is something I didn't see at E3 or ComicCon. Anyone know what class that's for?

Engineer. He's using Cryo Blast and Incinerate in the same trailer. Engineer is the only one who can do that.

uses a grenade too.... interesting

Will be interesting to see if TIM is indoctrinated, or is obsessed with the Reapers because he came so close to be indoctrinated. Either way, he's a downright SoB who needs to be taken out.

I've read Ascension and my impression was that TIM was searching for an understanding of Indoctrination in order to counter it. He absolutely wasn't working for the Reapers at that time.

Nor would it have made sense, if he was working for the Reapers, to orchestrate the destruction of the Collectors.

Besides, we've heard that Cerberus is out to kill Shepard but I'm not sure anyone has said that TIM is. It's possible Cerberus got indoctrinated and TIM didn't.

Sorry again guys, bit busy lately, and since there is the Condensed Mass video, I am not in much of a hurry to update the latest news from Gamescom. I'll try again tomorrow, I promise.

Ease up on yourself, Phaedon. We have months to go. Don't burn out.

PROOF THAT THEY ARE WORKING TOGETHER




"The Illusive Man aka Jack Harper
Status: Antagonist
Info: Cerberus is working with the Reapers, TIM described as major antagonist."

I'll suggest to Phaedon that he revise that to "appears to be working with the Reapers" in light of Casey Hudson's oft-quoted tweet.

Appearances can be decieving, no?

Also, just because TIM is an antagonist doesn't mean he's working for the Reapers or, in fact, that he's still in control of Cerberus.

Maybe Shepard forces his hand by taking the Alliance's side against Cerberus and TIM's just defending himself? 

Maybe Shepard's actions will hurt some kind of masterplan TIM has to take down the Reapers and he believes stopping Shepard is the only way to ensure humanity's survival?

Maybe, he knows that the Reapers want to get their hands on Shepard's body and that, if they do, they win. So he has to ensure it's destroyed to stop that happening.

There's lots of scope for TIM to be the bad guy without being a Reaper agent.

Even if he is working with the Reapers it would have to have been a recent change of heart because, IMO. his actions to date (including the books) don't make sense for someone working for the Reapers.

Just to add more confusion on Cerberus to this ...

Kai Leng, maybe? If TIM is willing to work with aliens for the good of the galaxy like in ME2, then it's not unreasonable to think that Leng may have created a splinter group dedicated to hunting Shepard. He might be used by the Reapers as extra power.

Well...they hardly saw eye to eye in ME2...at least in my playthroughs.
