Name me one repeated mistake by Cerberus.
Yeah, they constantly "cross the line", but that's expected, given the stakes and the short time period one has to get results.
I'll name you several.
Mass Effect One
-Cerberus meddles with Rachni, they excape, kill scientists, and released into galaxy
-Cerberus meddles with Thorian Creepers, Creepers escape, kill scientists, etc.
-Cerberus meddles with Thresher Maws, you get the point.
Mass Effect 2, (Game and Comic Lore)
-Cerberus messes with Reaper tech, scientists kill, husks released.
-Cerberus messes with Collector Base, (Or Wreckage), Tech releases, kill scientists, makes several characters go angsty, creates bad situations, and Omega is taken over
I'll show you a common theme. Cerberus doesn't know when to say no, they're like the ****s of science.

That was ExoGeni.

Oh look, it's Admiral Hackett saying that former Alliance scientists who were meddling on Akuze are being killed.
Mass Effect 2, (Game and Comic Lore)
-Cerberus messes with Reaper tech, scientists kill, husks released.
Husks were released where exactly? If they're still on the ship I'd called that contained.
Additionally, the team managed to recover the IFF before they went insane, so I wouldn't call that a failure.

Just to remind you, Cerberus is backed by a number of wealthy Human Cooperation's whose primary interest comes in gaining an unfair advantage over their competition.
How do you think Cerberus went from one tiny rouge Black Ops group to extremely wealthy galaxy spanning organization? The major Cooperation's backed Cerberus after the First Contact War, out of paranoia, greed, who knows.
The Illusive Man used this funding to purchase strategical assets (Shipyards, factories, etc) in which he used to both produce his own very well equipped private army (Look god dammit! Cerberus has it's own damned fleet!) and also make money from them. Eventually, the Cooperation's turned from backers into shells as Cerberus became wealthier than them, buying them out.
Cerberus is just an alliance of Cooperation's headed by a total Renegade.

Yeah, they did ONE good thing. Does that give them a free pass to do whatever in ME3? No.
By the way, those "do-gooders" in the Alliance are doing a lot more against the Reapers than Cerberus is.

Oh yeah thats right we will never know because Bioware turned a awesome character and his organzition into a enemy in 3 for no real reason. sure those do gooders are doing more to fight the reapers like putting Shepard on trial . thats really doing something

What's TIM doing besides getting sh*tfaced and going on with his boring speeches about how he knows the true destiny of the human races and all that crap I can't possibly care less about?
By the way, despite popular belief, sitting in a chair and doing nothing but smoke and drink all day does not make you cool. It makes you look mind-numbingly dull and pathetic.

Anderson is forming a guerrilla resistance movement on Earth (after the initial Reaper attack, mind you) and Hackett is mobilizing the fleets Shepard is gathering to do hit-and-run attacks on the Reapers and their bases and supply lines to buy Shepard more time and give him intel on the Reapers' movements.

I don't want to know. They have no importance anymore.
By the way, the leaked script shows what TIM really wanted in ME2.
Here's a hint: He never cared about the colonists.
I have also yet to see a single motion from him that helps anyone else but himself in the same script.

Yes, Cerberus is backed by human corporations. If ExoGeni is one of these corporations is as of now unknown. It doesn't actually matter whether they are or not. ExoGeni is still the company responsible for the "Creeper" outbreak on Nodacrux.Sweawm wrote...

You seem to imply that BSN has any credibility whatsoever. That's funny.

Well maybe when you use a wrong fact as an argument you should care. Additionally, in reference to your other posts, I don't see how TIMs "coolness" factor plays into any of this, so why keep repeating yourself?

There's an email on Feros which indicated that Exogeni were sending thorian creepers to Cerberus, what happened to those subjects? So there's a definitive link between the corporation and Cerberus, and Cerberus was certainly experimenting with them.

It wasn't a decision that came out of nowhere, the entire second game was spent portraying The Illusive Man as being shady and unreliable.
The fact is that he either withholds information from Shepard, or outright lies to him, on every Collector mission he puts in front of Shepard. He engineers an attack by the Collectors before he knows that Mordin has developed countermeasures for the paralysing swarm, sends Shepard into an ambush on the Collector ship, forgets to mention that the crew aboard the defunct Reaper has stopped checking in with HQ and "oh, since you're there anyway I think there's a way to wipe out the biologicals without destroying the Collector base."
After all those lovely platitudes about how Shepard is the best natural leader he's ever seen, and how Shepard is the only one that can stop the Reaper invasion? Please. He was stroking Shepard's ego, doing what he thought it was necessary to establish control over a useful pawn. I'm certain of this because there's no way an intellect of TIM's calibre would undermine Shepard's leadership that way if he valued Shepard's ability to lead.
My best guess is that Shepard, and his crew, were a distraction to get everyone* to look in the wrong direction while his real plans came to fruition somewhere completely banal and non-descript, and that that secret project is what makes Cerberus the enemy in ME3.
Even if I'm wrong about him using Shepard as a smokescreen the game put in plenty of hints to lead players to suspect that things weren't on the level long before the first trailer or leaked rumour about the third game.
* The Council, the Collectors/Reapers, potentially disloyal factions within Cerberus etc.
