* Cerberus forces consist of mechs and new “ninja-style” shock troops.
* Reaper ships range in size from a 2km mothership to 500-600 meter other units (likely the ones from the Mass Effect 3 reveal trailer.)

* Improved AI: Participants in enemy groups play specific roles and can run “coordinated assaults” against you.
* Certain enemies let you cut off their arms, take their head off or break off pieces of armor.
* Much larger variety of enemies.
* Engineers can also build turrets
* There’s a new “Heavy Melee” class.
* Combat is 10-15% faster and you’ll be forced to move a lot.
* More items available to “loot” and more of an inventory system.
* Environments are larger and more dynamic.
* You’ll see people walking, ships fighting, more interactive.
* Architecture and lightning much improved – aiming for photorealism.
* On Earth, you’ll visit New York and London.
* You’ll also visit Mars, a Quarian world and a Salarian world.
* There’s a new planet scanning system.

My body is ready.

I was always suspicious if the Illusive man.

I will be buying two copies of this. One to play, and the other to stuff down my pants.

I wonder how we'll bypass the extreme heavy gravity on the Elcor homeworld once we go there, unless we want to continue our adventures as a pile of squished meat inside a levitating pod called Shep-parts.

Surprise! It looks exactly like every other locale in the ME universe!

Wait, the Salarian homeworld is completely covered with chest-high walls, who knew?

In all fairness, the Illusive Man could be easily corrupted by Reapers. Lest we forget what happened to Saren.

It would just be really dumb to use the same trick twice.

@HEL105: Amen to that!

Salarian homeworld? I'm salivating already. In year with so many potential awesome releases, this is one of my definite must-buys. Can't wait to read that cover story.

I don't see a Salarian homeworld. I see the beginning of another cookie-cutter layout of 3rd-person cover points with a different skin on top. I don't know how Mass 2 avoided this obvious criticism, and I'm sad it doesn't appear to be getting more varied.

I just JIZZED in my pants.
I love me some ME :)

Query, What would the reapers have against the Elcor? Soulless mechanical bastards...

I get a boner everytime I read something realted to Mass Effect.

Is that normal?
