To Bioware: Yes!

That is all.

I cant wait for this game!

Nice

Hell yeah.

Shepard gets so much crap for saving the galaxy. He should just abandon it to the Reapers.

Not sure I like the opening two scenes.  They seem really corny

Dude...yes.

I'm not sure I'm a fan of live-action ME3 trailers. Nevertheless, its something to make the gap between now and 3-6-12 feel just that little bit shorter.

Horrible trailer... but psyched nontheless.

mass shooter effect

Give it to me now!

That was pretty awesome.

That looks like a lot of money spent on cheesy, unconvincing special effects. District 9 this is not. I hope all future Mass Effect 3 trailers stick with actual gameplay.

Damn I'm excited for ME3 but this was fairly underwhelming.

He had an omni-tool... that was a sword. I'm in.

Bleh, this one wasn't fantastic. The gameplay trailer on the other was hand-crafted in gold.

Yeah, that seemed like the promo team was given 10 seconds of cutscene to work with and had to turn it into a trailer. And why would there still be different languages on Earth when everyone appears to speak English now?

Looks cool. But I thought Reapers were bigger.

ARE YOU WATCHING GT!!! THE monsters are like 5 times bigger than God of war. At least... it's in the background.

You don't start the show with a show stopper.

I loved the trailer.  Looking forward to this game!

What a ridiculous trailer. Poorly produced with cheesy acting and it doesn't fit the Mass Effect aesthetic at all.

Also, I don't see the battle for Earth as the outcome of everything Shepard has been doing for the past two games. Wasn't the thing about the Reapers that they weren't concerned with any particular planet but that they were out to harvest and wipe out all intelligent life in the known galaxy? Earth is a small planet. What the fuck.

Looks nothing like Mass Effect. Rather like another boring "Aliens invading Earth!!!" shooter.

Man if they got that model guy who looks like Shepard for the trailer (not even talking, just there) that would have been awesome.

Me too. They seem about the size of a sky scraper, but Sovereign was fucking huge when he clamped down on that tower inside the Citadel, which is also fucking huge. Weird.

They didn't create this deep and classy universe to end up using such crappy music for their trailers ! Jack Wall, come back ! We need you !

EA got their Command & Conquer in my Mass Effect 3.

Well, if you've played ME2...

You'll know that the Reapers are harvesting humans to create their own Reaper version of the species. Earth seems to be the place to get humans, if you ask me. Sure, in the end, they'll wipe out all sentient life in the universe... but first they have to get those delicious humans :P

There's always a bigger reaper.

Looked like fucking Red Alert cinematic,

WTF is this ?

Earth is fucked. I want this.

I enjoy this.

Wow. The CG for those humans was so realistic, I couldn't even tell they weren't real!

...

It's time for Shepard to find the MacGuffin that will magically infect the entire Reaper network and shut them all down simultaneously (an ancient Prothean computer virus? Probably!). Game ends with humanity rebuilding Earth, more unified then ever.

Renegade ending has humans as isolationist but strong in purpose. Paragon ending has humans reaching out to aliens for help with reconstruction. The choice won't matter because the next Mass Effect game will take place years later where both isolationist and alien-friendly factions are again at equilibrium.

Fade to black. Roll credits.

huh. live action. 
 
huh.

Of course, but don't you think that's such a minor thing in grand scheme of things? This being the concluding chapter of the Shepard trilogy and all?

I hope they don't make ME3 about coming to earth's rescue; that would reduce the scale of things even further (ME2 already having reduced the scale compared to ME1).

EDIT: wait, how do I retain your spoiler thingy when quoting you?

It looks like they took some cues from Gears of War with close combat.

Looks like the call of duty trailer. I want to play as the space Muslim terrorist in multiplayer!

The battle for Earth is not the outcome. Earth being taken is one of the first things in the game, and they are still trying to destroy all sentient life... Your mission will be to stop them and take it back. In Mass Effect 2, they imply that humans are now higher in the Reaper's list of targets after what Sheppard did to Sovereign.

How do you know this? Where is this info?

Also, humans being a bigger target because of Sovereign doesn't make any sense. This is nothing new of course, it didn't make sense in ME2 as well.

The thing I hated about ME2 was how the Reapers, by proxy of Harbinger, were reduced to whiny, petty creatures. Harbinger was such a departure from the far more alien sounding Sovereign.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck 
I cannot wait for this game to get out, wow 
Fanboy in me is dieing to see this game

Hmmm, this trailer has me a little concerned.

Out of curiosity, why?

My name is Commander Shepard. And this is my favorite trailer of E3 2011.

Why live-action? I'm curios to see if it will be a trend this year.

Remember the all in-engine E3 trailer for ME2?

Or perhaps the cinematic teaser for ME2?

Yeah, how about more of that? You know, trailers that either show something meaningful or are just very well produced.
