The frustrating part of ME2 and an ironic twist which would have had a huge impact on the final battle in ME3, is the weapon that defeated a Reaper referenced in the mission to retrieve the "IFF".  Why would Cerberus or Shepard for that matter not consider studying the weapon technology, defunct or not? If the ultimate goal is to stop the Reapers, wouldn't Shepard pass the information about the weapon to Anderson and Council? 

 

For a game that focuses on choices this one could have been an excellent option for an ending.  Give the location of the weapon to Anderson/Alliance to research and possibly develop with the help of the other races. This would've given the fleet a fighting chance against the Reapers, potential leveling the playing field.

 

The ground battle in London could have been Shepard staging missions against Reaper controlled territories. As for the final battle it could have been Shepard using the targeting laser to fight Harbinger with the aide of the fleet resulting in a great ending in my humble opinion.

 

The second ending would have been based on you not providing the information to the Anderson/Alliance/Council. And instead the Catalyst is developed and the final battle is with Harbinger in some new  more menacing and powerful form of Reaper General for control of the docking station aboard the Citadel.  

 

Two simple endings that address Paragon and Renegade options.  There were so many ways that the Bioware writers and developers could have gone with the ME3 that its staggering.     

 

I hope Bioware has really taken a clear approach to the story as well as the impact of choices like they did in ME.  It would give Andromeda the clean slate I think they are  going for and an opportunity to setup an second installment in this new adventure.

Yes, part 3 would have been better with more boss enemies.

 

Kai Leng was the only one who felt like a boss.

The Illusive Man mentions that the weapon was defunct, which means "no longer existing or functioning". Which makes sense since after it took down a Reaper, the other Reapers would surely destroy it to the point where it could never be used again or reverse-engineered by future cycles to use again. They did that with technology that would be no threat to them, so they definitely would to technology that could. 

 

As for your idea with it, there would be no battle of London. A single shot from that weapon left a huge scar of a planet. If that was shot at Earth, there would no longer be a London. Or Great Britain. Or even a Europe.

Remember that particular Reaper went crashing into the planet as Shepard and crew were leaving with just enough time to toss Legion onboard the Normandy.  Presumably, Cerberus was studying it, but the scientists became indoctrinated and TIM indicates that he "lost contact" with Dr. Chandana's team shortly after they boarded the Reaper.

We know Mac said that they put a LOT of focus on the ending this time, so hopefully they learned their lesson. At this point, you either believe them or you don't.

Smart move as they wrote this game to be like a standalone.
