Nice collection of information!

One thing I'd like to note though is that all the weekend operation mentioned was an "inconsistency in Reaper ground movement". It doesn't mention collectors or new enemies at all, all it means is that Reapers are using different tactics.

If I always send Brutes first and Banshees second, but one day change that to Banshees first and Brutes second, that's an inconsistency in ground movement as well!

   Ahhh, hmm how I was thinking of it was more so attacks from the reapers that are something unknown to Alliance knowledge, or a higher number than expected.

" We’ve been receiving a number of strange reports that are inconsistent with our knowledge of Reaper ground troop movement "

   The Alliance never really witnessed the Collectors and only heard about them from stories from Shepard. Its even evident that the galaxy doesnt know much about them when shepard first sees an image of them on Freedom's Progress  ~ you can see that Shepard had even questioned their existence.

   Also I was thinking that Admiral Hackett woudn't have actually have seen the collectors as he is just receiving word from the ground troops ( alot of the information seemed like it came in bits in pieces to Admiral HAckett as this is the biggest war witnessed in the Galaxy ) and is coordinating attacks and like I said before, the ground troops would't have known what the collectors looked like. Heck, Shepard and his crew hadnt even known what most of the Reapers troops looked like in the ME3 until they saw them in battle. So the " N7 " Special forces could have very possibley not been able to tell the difference between Collectors and Reapers.


What do you think?

Absolute bollocks.

Vega mentions in SP that he was part of a task force which was dedicated to protecting colonies from the Collectors.

He very specifically notes "the Collectors", not "Reapers" or "Geth". His squad, which he was the lone survivor of, was on intelligence gathering operations against the Collectors as well.

The reason that "Shepard and company" did not know what most of the Reapers troops looked like in ME3 until they saw them in battle is a simple one. The Reapers continually adapted their troops using those from worlds they'd invaded.

Thought we had some info on an Omega centric DLC when Leviathan came out?
this came off a PC game ® web site
During Mass Effect 3, Omega is occupied by Cerberus, but there’s some Aria dialogue hidden in the game files that hint at a mission to retake the space station from the Illusive Man. Some new weapon mod upgrades are contained within the recent Firefight DLC pack, with six “Omg” maps listed, including one called “OmgHub,” suggesting that we could be revisiting Omega in a future chunk of DLC.

Someone said it looks Geth, didn't one of the Codex entries say that one of the Geth weapons hinted at a war with other synthetics?

Could it be these other synthetics? those could have been the reapers however, or the heretics

That was for the Geth Spitfire heavy weapon. If you had played Mass Effect 2 you would know a bit of the back story of the Geth (Legion's Geth) vs the Heritics (Reaper worshiping Geth). Yes, Geth had a factional ideological battle of their own. Basically a synthetic civil war in a way. My not to hard inferacne it's not hard to see how and why the Spitfire would have been created and be virtually unknown to "organic" races prior to the events of Mass Effect (1-3).

Yup I really ant to spend my credits but I have been saving too ~ I really don't mind what it is either, I just can't wait

Mike Gamble is enjoying the speculation (check his twitter). Someone mentioned something about Bioware possibly dropping SP DLC, MP DLC, and a massive patch all at the same time to compete with Borderlands. Boy if they did that the excitement level of the fanbase will go through the roof...

Perhaps. After all, Anderson made his own appearnce for the Earth DLC. And he's no where to be seen in MP. Did you know that he was born in London?

........................... really ? 

On topic, I think that the fact that we have only ever seen one collector ship before combined with the fact that they are made of rocks, would mean that this ship won't look exactly the same as the other.

Also, about Vega, (and yes I know that we are venturing into SP territory, but this needs to be addressed) his little squad that fought the collectors, was retcon that wasn't retcon.  I say that because it cannot actually be disproven, but at the same time makes no sense based on what we learned in ME2.  If the alliance was actively fighting and learning about the collectors, one would think that they would have done more to protect fringe colonies than send one marine to defend them.  They would have been able to know that the collectors were capable of massive abductions, and were behind those that were going on.  But they don't.  In fact, Ashley tells you on Horizon that the Alliance had thought that maybe Cerberus was behind the attacks.  Thus Vega's little war with the collectors does little to nothing to disprove this argument, because even if we accept it, like good fans, they still had a miniscule amount of combat with these enemies, when compared to the amount of fighting going on against new Reaper ground forces.

You have to remember that we do not know what the Alliance was doing post-Horizon. We only have Shepard's story, of which Horizon is a small part.

Horizon takes place fairly early on in ME2, and the idea that Ashley would not be able to push for the Alliance to mobilize to fight the Collectors after what she saw on Horizon is silly.

So, judging from the picture they're bringing in the Zentraedi? Breetai vs. Harbinger...

I bet the SDF-1 could kill a couple of Reapers on its own. And seeing Breetai punch out Harbinger would be the greatest thing ever. Of all time.

Now that I think about it...

Based on the past rumors [Retaliation/Omega], Chris Priestly's tweet about this coming week being very 'busy', the forthcoming 'it's not small' patch confirmed by Bryan Johnson, the complete lack of any official announcements from BioWare despite the desparate cries from us that we need new content and the fact that ME3s biggest and most serious AAA competition of the year is dropping on Tuesday ....

... this could be a dual SP/MP DLC + Patch with a gigantic (relatively speaking) overhaul to the MP.

I'm not even going to bother to speculate any more than this, as the possibilities are endless and exciting to think about.

I like turtles.

Patch + MP DLC = thinking they will drop simultaneously, most likely before September ends.

But where would they encounter them?  The collectors have a way of being sly, and that is the last colony abduction before Shepard blows their base away.  Thus, we have no reason to believe that there was further collector ground action, for the alliance to mobilize against.  But we digress, this agrument has little to do with the evidence at hand,and should be cut off, or taken elsewhere.

It wouldn't be too hard, considering how weak the ME-verse tech actually is compared to other sci-fi universes.

-Assuming Direct Control-

That is the line i hope to hear in MP when fighting collectors like it was in ME2 lol. Every once in awhile Harbringer would take control of a Collector making it stronger.

I believe he posted it in one of the threads here.

I think it's just a SP DLC, but it makes for more speculations threads around here, I'm all for it. Those are always entertaining.

But why would Chris make a comment about it, then? He's in the MP department.

(I have no idea when that Twitter post was put in the OP though, so I don't know)

Well, whether it's MP or SP DLC isn't hugely important. More DLC is always a good thing.

*Best thread I've seen on here in a long time, period.*

I seriously hope its both Omega and MP DLC. Possibly having Adjutants and Collectors in both an Omega and MP DLC would be amazing. I can just imagine sitting, waiting for extraction and shooting down collectors. Then all of a sudden, "Assuming Direct Control" to break the akward silence of MP would be menacing and hilarious. I hope there are no Praetorians though....those suckers are a pain!

The Collectors weren't really sly, and we do not know that Horizon was "the last colony abduction before Shepard blows their base away". For that matter, it's important to note that--again--Ashley/Kaiden would be able to push for something to be done after what they witnessed on Horizon. They were there investigating the same thing that we were in ME2, the disappearance of human colonies at (supposedly) the hands of Batarian slavers or (this was more Ashley's prejudice than the Alliance, mind you) Cerberus.
Not to mention that The Illusive Man was shown to have enough contacts within the Alliance hierarchy that it is entirely believeable that he would be able to potentially pull strings to get the Alliance to sit up and take notice of the threat.

But really it comes down to this: it is a common problem when dealing with character-driven narratives rather than omnisicient narratives to have things like this crop up. It's silly to assume that the Alliance stopped doing anything simply because Shepard was working with Cerberus.

Not really. A significant number of the players (including myself now) will likely be playing said game, as such, we will probably not even know about the ME3 DLC, let alone care to play it, when I can play a non-tedious co-op game that doesn't make you sit in the same place for 20 minutes and shoot in the same direction.

Let's face it: It doesn't really matter when they release it. I might play a few matches here and there when the rest of my team isn't on borderlands, but I won't be loyally playing for at least a month, and I know well that other players won't come back at all. Releasing DLC at the same time as a competing game release is just a relatively desperate and rather debatably sleazy way of saying "please don''t leave me", and to be honest, I'd rather they hand the DLC to us the moment its ready, where it doesn't clash with competing game releases or anything similar.
