Not really. You attack an enemy's weaknesses, not his strengths. 


You attack an enemy where he's weakest yes, but you also need to undermine the enemy's strengths. And training centers and academy's aren't exactly the most heavily fortified places in military doctrine. Thus, attack Rio De Janiero, undermine humanity's ability to train more N7's operatives.

I'm happy that it's not a slum, there's more things here than slums, like N7 bases, we have one in every city =P

I loved how the map have a green sky and the base have a yellow tone, just like our flag ^^ Would love to see some kind of easter egg in the map...

Personally, I'd like to see New York City. D.C. would be amazing too, what with all the Fallout 3 nostalgia I'd have...

There should be an Easter egg of Jacob and Shepard in a bar drinking. That would be awesome.

I was thinking more like a brazilian easter egg. Something we will understand, but you guys will be like "what the f*ck is that sh*t?"

Being from Detroit, I can tell you that you really wouldn't know the difference.  :D  At least in some parts.

By the by, was there ever any mention in the games on whether Christ the Redeemer is actually still around?

Or if, you know, it went the way of the Statue of Liberty at some point?

I'd like a little old school Sepultura playing as the background music.

You know, I was born in London.
