The trailer reminded me of War of the Worlds.

I kinda find it unrealistic when they depict a whole bunch of Reapers attacking a city when Sovereign could have easily destroyed the Citadel (which is probably like all of Earth's major cities combine). Then again, Sovereign was probably a leader like Harbinger.

Also the guy in Big Ben had an Australian accent.

Sovereign was actualy a Vanguard/Scout I believe left behind by the Reapers.

Though to me, it seems that you will be combining an army to fight them, and when you are close is when you recieve the news on the Reapers attacking Earth. I dunno, maybe it will be in a way that if you do other stuff while the Repaers attack earth, more will suffer just like after your crew is abducted by collectors and they die if you do other stuff.

I have a feeling that the story will go like this:

[intro scene]----->[create/import character]----->[sup two leading poster characters?]----->[recruit more members/or build army]----->[side quests side quests side quests]----->[sup earth?]

I'm thinking there will be some sort of Death Star ala Endor stuff taking place.

Prolly something like that. Either way, you and me agree that we'll both be keeping our Tali safe and alive. ^_^

Also, since we know everything we did in ME1 and 2 will build up to this... it also means that...

The Rachni from ME1
Geth from ME2
Krogans from ME2
Liara as Shadow Broker
Maybe Ceberus and TIM

May or may not be helping or may need some persuading. Ceberus I think will help regardless though.

David Anderson is from London.

The books say that the teaching system has become globally tied, much like the army.

Mulluns, you know my opinion on this.

As long as I have Garrus, Thane and Legion at some point in the game. I will be happy.

It seems pretty obvious that Earth will be the final confrontation of the game, while you rally support for your cause in the form of resources, new technologies and possibly armed forces.

Weirdly the only change I'm hoping for in ME3 is to be able to customize the Normandy on a visual level, I don't even care if there isn't any space combat.

I think all your crew members who survived in both games will be in this, though as party members I do not know. I think it's fair to say though that Garrus and Tali will be at your side no matter what though.

Earth also has to be the last confrontation, since if it's attacked at the beginning, I doubt Shepard and others would go around recruiting their army while Reapers are eating everything.

I hope they don't go the halo route and make it so that there is actually Reaper/Prothean technology on earth, buried or some shit.

It's a possibility, considering Protheans went to Earth when we were ape men. Though the chances of Prothean ruins on earth are possible since there are some on other planets and the like, considering Mars...

Oh no. That storyline has been done to absolute death though. I was hoping they'd get a bit more original with their last efforts of the series.

Same here! Funny thing is, I think the guys at BioWare know what Tali and Quarians look like under the masks.

I'm just stating a possible fact that Prothean ruins have possibly been found on Earth even if others did not know it.

Oh, and Adena sorta proved Prothean ruins are on Earth.

well, at the very least gave speculative fodder that the writers may use, considering the Ufologists " theories" about places like Cusco in Peru and such. ME seems to like playing with that, and plays into the " altered genetics/evolution" concept that became very popular after the research station on Mars was discovered.

I'm loling @ the crazy nerd rages over on the official community. So many people pissed that " big ben" as they call the sniper said " what are they, where did they come from, what do they want"

They are pissed that he didn't know reapers ( which the council buried anyway) or pissed that he didn't call them Geth considering thats what the council said Nazarrah ( sovereign) was etc etc etc....

It was a great trailer, showed a loose plot point, Reapers are here, earth is targeted.

Thats all anyone SHOULD take from it....It's a first release TEASER, done up as epically cinematic as possible to get the market all excited. The commercials are written as just that, hyperstylalized and over dramatic for a reason.
They did the same for ME2, and DA....Epic trailers that actually played no real point into the game in any way other than a " concept of whats going on"


I swear some people love picking apart these things too much sometimes

I agree with the bookah (GW:EOTN term for those who don't know it). Frankly, I'd like to see the rumors of multiplayer to be truthful. It's clear every ally (Rachni, Krogan, Geth, Quarians) and enemy (...The Illusive Man) you make will be coming into play.

More customization would be nice (I actually also like the idea of space combat. It would make sense at this point), and yes, we know three gents here are making sure Tali makes it through to the end game -- Ashley Williams, would you kindly stay on Eden Prime?

And would everyone stop debating about the guy in the trailer? This is barely worth notice.

YOU. SHALL. NOT. POST.:bitchez--in defiance of me

If Prothean technology was found on Mars, there's a chance that there could be some on Earth. However, it would would have probably have been found already, maybe they found Megatron under the ice? Or the Alien Queen from Aliens vs. Predators? A lot of alien tom foolery seems to be hidden in the waters of Antarctica...
