Once again, Bioware is way too
human-centric in this trailer. Not a single alien species is shown. It's
kind of a letdown how the game has suddenly turned into a love affair
of trying to save Earth. This is a far cry from ME and ME2 where we are
constantly reminded that humans are but ONE race in the galaxy and that
Shepard will need the help of the other races in the galaxy to face the
Reaper threat.
I realize Bioware is marketing towards the
herp-a-derp CoD community out there hoping to reel in additional
interest in the game, but it's sort of an insult to long-standing fans
of the series who have really been taken by the postmodern perspective
of the franchise.
Here's to hoping it won't be like this in the game. Because if it is, I'm going to be sorely pissed.
*sigh* Take EARTH back.
Humanity.
Symbolism.
No, really, is there even a shred of reason to think ME 3 will cease to be ME? All because of a trailer showing humans taking their own planet back? I mean, goddamn, we even have a demo where it's stated black on white that Shep's going to seek the help of others. What are all those MP alien models for, added for ****s and giggles?

Agreed.
And hell, if we just want to refer to canon-- We all just spent the
last two games being the most significant threat to the Reapers since,
well we've never been given any information that they've ever been
repelled. Given that, as they say, history is written by the victors,
it's unlikely they ever have been. The reapers out and out told us that
we're on their radar. Stands to reason that they have a bone to pick
with humans now.
It's gonna be a wild ride. Bittersweet that
Shepard's story ends with the trilogy but as long as Bioware isn't sick
of makin this universe, I ain't sick of playin in their sandbox. I'll
just name my ME4 guy Shepard and giggle like a child thinking I just
pulled one over on em. 
Agreed

I can't really see any other reason why the Reapers would deal the first hammer blow on Earth. I'm fairly certain this is all Shep's fault for being such an awesome super-villain hunter

And yes, I'll be glad to stick around in the ME universe even after the Reapers go the way of the dodo bird. I'm assuming on attempting to create any variation of a name that includes "Shepard" a Cerberus operative will sneak in the room and shoot you in the head

Now, if they made a movie of it.. I'd sacrifice a toe nail to the Dark Gods

Deus
Ex Machina device confirmed; Reapers attacking Earth alone number in
the hundreds (several hundreds). Majority of the Alliance fleet is
already wiped out (and very easily/quickly, too).
And so far,
NONE of the trailers/promotional material have shown a single Reaper
being even damaged by non-Reaper ships. The best we've gotten is a
glimpse at Shepard wounding (maybe, it could just be a Hope Spot) a
small Reaper on the surface (with orbital bombardment support).
So
unless there's some "Just Add Water!" new superweapon that can be
instantly installed to at least several ships, it's down to a Deus Ex
Machina ending. I really, REALLY hope I'm wrong.
This happens, so that must mean this. No wait. THIS!
That was the biggest jump to a conclusion I've ever seen. Holy ****.
Well said..
You've got got a few trailers, and already in one of them you do have a glimpse of a Reaper being hit. Besides, what do you think the Normandy and all those ships are firing at? Just those winged flippery flying husks?
Also, consider the fact the trailers are *supposed* to get you excited about the enormity of the Reaper menace. No sense in seeing some going down in flames.. not that I'm not 99 % sure that, if you had seen a damaged Reaper in the trailers, you'd have complained about that instead.
