Joining Ceberus and killing around 300k Batarians should equal promotion?

Saving hundreds of thousands of people from the non-Alliance colonies and delaying several months the Reaper invasion should. And about the batarians, if we are really pragmatic, it also prevented the enemy gaining another 300k shock troops (not that that was going to make much a difference, and it seems only one character used the extra months for something really useful anyway).

hmm.. I actually thought he would be punished for being the cause of Reapers coming to finish Earth first. The Batarians were just in the way, thus Batarians Husks. But they did came for Earth and Shepard is responsible for that. Humans are so stupid that they might have him prosecuted for that too.

The character has always been "Commander Shepard", changing that would be a mistake even if he/she is acting as the supreme commander of all galactic forces.

 Shepard isn't getting a promotion because Commander Shepard is too iconic of a name at this point. Time to get over it people.

When you did it to save the rest of the galaxy it should yes, but it never will. You can't get promoted (at least not right away) after something like that, but what Shepard did saved everyone else so he should be promoted to be fair. I think one of the endings in ME3 ends with Shepard on the human council (admiralty board or w/e it was called.)

So to stop enemy gaining shock troopers we should go around killing everyone. Ok, that's an awful idea.

Secondly, it doesn't matter that he saved all those people. He wasn't working under the alliance when he saved them so he shouldn't get a promotion from the Alliance. A promotion from Cerberus is more likely.

Wasn't Shep pretty much promoted from Lt. Commander to Commander at the end of the Demo?

Anderson is careful to call Kaiden "Major" and Ash "Lt. Commander" (both the same rank. Major is ground forces, Lt. Commander is navy for the same rank). But he calls Shep "Commander" when he reinstates him during the demo.

Which I think is necessary if Kaiden or Ash is going to server under him anyway. That would make Shep one rank above Kaiden/Ash as a Cmdr./Lt. Colonel.

Next rank up would be Captain/Colonel which is the traditional rank of one commanding a larger battleship or in charge of a base. I wouldn't expect this kind of rank increase for being in command of the Normandy and on a Ally gathering mission. Too many politics involved at that rank.

Sorry if this has already been discussed.

And could have started a war with the Batarians that could have made the galaxy even weaker when Reaper's finally arrived, the Alliance wants to aviod a war with the Batarians

There's no indication of that. Shepard has always been called "Commander".

I think he/she is still a Lt. Commander

I have an odd question that relates to this, I have the Arrival DLC and when the Batarains got blown up my thought was well this sucks it had to be in Batarian space, Now they got the reason to go to war with humans. With ME2 Miranda and TIM got us up to speed on Shepard getting set after Geth
Now to my odd question The ME3 Demo is that at the very start of ME3 or were there things that were cut out? Like What exactly had to take place to appease the Batarains and how bad the charges were? I was expecting something more in depth and the Player being in the moment of the charges given the significance that the Human/Batarian thing has been in the ME Universe.

Anyone know if that will be in ME3? OR if it will be cut out like in the Demo?

Because I felt like I just got a giant dump in my lap without so much as an explanation as to how deep the sh!t I waded into was.

I'm hoping that the demo just gave us the default "This is your first time playing ME intro" or "You play ME but don't get DLC" intro. Those of us who played Arrival will hopefully get different dialog *fingers crossed*

I hope so, I really wanted to see how deep the sh!t my Shepard wadded into was. ""DO the Words palitical Sh!t Strom mean anything to you"

Let's start at the beginning, well actually at the end of ME1. Shepard defeats Saren, Alliance Fleet defeats Sovereign, probably should have been given a promotion, but instead was shipped off to hunt down Geth because the Alliance and the Council didn't want him around spooting off about Reapers. Won't get a promotion out of that.

Now we start ME2, the Normandy encounters the Collectors and is promptly taken out and Shepard is killed, no promotion there. Shep is declared dead for two years and then is brought back to life by a human supremacy group that sorta has ties to the Alliance but the Alliance hates to let that be known and how is the Alliance supposed to know its really you. They don't do any kind of test they just believe you, the scan when you first arrive at the Citadel doesn't really count. Also you were working along side a terrorist group, even though your motives were pure you won't get a promotion out of that from any governing body. So ME2 rolls on and we get to Arrival when you destroy a Mass Relay and kill 300k Batarians, sure you might have warned them maybe not, but you still won't get a promotion for that.

Then we come to ME3, you were for the most part drummed out of the Alliance military, sure they kept you around as an advisory or something, but that doesn't really come with any rank and Anderson mentions it could have been worse.

So now with all that stacked against Shep I really doubt the Alliance would promote him, the only instance were I might see a promotion is after you are "killed" by the Collectors as a post houmus honor, sorta like R. Lee Ermey was a Staff Sergent when he was discharged from the Marine Corps, but because of all his good works he was promoted after the fact to Gunnery Sergent. Also lets not forget everything Shep did in the Terminus Systems was without Alliance authorization and outside of their control, so that's another notch in the no promotion belt.

Naw, Commander's just Shepard's first name. He's actually a Captain at the beginning of ME3.
