Nope, it wasn't a ruse after all:

[Valdez]

I lol'd at the medigel sound effect when mr british guy used the hypo-med.


Why would the reapers need to land on Earth? Can't they do orbital bombardment with their pewpew tentacles?

And wao 7 million killed. Thats like 1% of China

I am pretty sure it isn't even 1 percent.

Besides I thik he was talking about Londin alone as a city where 7 quadrilion people died. Because afterwards he started to talk about other shitties being attacked.

It's probably the Halo-scenario. Humans are suddenly really important like because of stuff they didn't know and the Earth has hidden super alien artifacts that are required for galactic domination. In other words, the Earth is one big Mass Effect Relay.

Already happened in ME2 when the collectors decided to make a human reaper instead of say, a hanar reaper or batarian reaper or asari reaper (haha, reaper with boobs)

I'm looking forward to see what lame-ass excuse they put in to explain how the Reapers could still arrive without an opened citadel relay

Okie moving over to this thread for subsequent discussion on Efecto de Masa Tres

Anyone noticed Shepard is still wearing the same N7 armour?

He must be real smelly by now.

I wanted to say more but accidentaly clicked post.

I think there will be way less RPG in this game, either that or our Lord that be thy Shepard has to fly across the galaxy and has to rally supporters for his cause, so he can overthrow the reapers.

Fly around the galaxy to recruit team mates and hit the plot points necessary to find the way to stop the reapers. Easy.



Aside from that hole in the clock, Big Ben seems unscathed. As is the London Eye.

Also, REAPER SPOTLIGHTS

I wanna play as a reaper and destroy cities

I thin kthey have been moving since activation. The citadel relay was more or less meant to criple the power right away without them knowing what was going on\.

[Dei]

I bet the co-op will be all like..one is playing ground-side, shooting things TPS style and the other is in the sky being Shepurd and is sending reinforcemants! [Nah but would be a nice inbetween level]

[Haasth]

Alright, lovely little teaser I see.

So we'll be going around the galaxy again, recruiting people and meanwhile Earth gets all destroyed and we'll have a "Suicide Mission" to go save it when we recruited enough people?

I still bet we'll defeat le Reapres by uploading a virus. Also, there is a lack of alien romance options in the teaser. Disappoint.

[Valdez]

Ok I figured it out. The Reapers weakeness is dark energy. You have to fly around the galaxy probing for enough dark energy to shoot at the reapers and then they all explode.

I think it has been established that the Citadel was only meant to quicken their arrival, not the only means of traveling.

They could just travel there on their own speed, yes, but that would take quite a while. I'm assuming that while has happened in between 2 and 3. Unless they have another backdoor somewhere of course.. we did only see two of them on Earth for some reason... Where's the rest at?

[Valdez]

I thought there were like 3 or 4. There was at least one more in midair in the trailer.

The rest are probably attacking the rest of the galaxy probably. I have this feeling something really important will get destroyed, maybe the Citadel or Arcturus Station (not like anyone will care since its novel-only though)

[Piglet]

in the trailer he also said other cities were attacked so there is probably a shitload of them in total, and only a smal lfraction attacking zee urf.

[Haasth]

Still though. I was a little surprised by how slow he said the killing went. 7 Billion or 7 million deaths in one week? Pah-lease! Surely the Reapers could have blown up whole Earth by then.

[Valdez]

They must want something special like Dei said. That would be the only logical reason they're on the surface and not in space raining death downwards, unless they're as dumb as the RDA from Avatar who also didn't believe in orbital bombardment.

UNLESS.... this is another stereotypical alien invasion where the attack is pure direct brute force with michael bay explosions and all that, rather than something more quick (nukes everywhere) or efficient (bioweapon in ze air?).

If I were a reaper, i would invent a virus that turns people into husks, and then unleash it on Earth. And then EMP the ^@!$ out of every major power grid (it's a future-warfare stuff we learnt in military, electronics are the lifeblood of modern and future systems, both civilian and military)

Suddenly I got this feeling Shepard will have to fight a lot of Husks on Earth... kinda like on the derelict reaper or the aequitas mine. I find that squad cryo ammo was very fun to have on those missions.
