    It would make sense. "Earth is burning" and the teaser released earlier showed glimpses of London.

    Each games are different from eachother (in terms of gameplay - some like the 1st, others 2nd - I like them both), but what I have loved is the Universe and the story.

    Once finding out what the main antagonist of the 1st game (the whole series I guess) was - I just couldn't wait for the rest of the series. Amazing storyline(s).

    If the same team that did ME2 did ME3, I won't look at a trailer, buy the game even less.

    ME2 has the same project director and writer, so the direction of both games was put together by the same people. They are just very different because the people wanted to change how much of the game worked. I hope the exact same team works on ME3 because level design was far better in ME2 than ME1. I just hope the project director goes back to the old level and skill system and makes worlds explorable again.

    Either way, I thought they were both great games, just different from each other

    ME1 was a unmitigated piece of garbage, atleased the crappy PC port i played was. the sole redeeming factor was the writing, but in that case id much preferr a novel to the game.

    i doubt ill ever play 2, or 3.

    I feel like the casualties should have been way more than a 7 million given the earth would've had like 10 billion and "all the defenses are down"

    I was under the impression that the Reapers, given that it's only the first week, were only attacking major cities at the moment. 9 million sounds like a good number to me.

    Well, it would kind of make sense that Earth is no longer (or was - then wasn't) densely populated because they OBVIOUSLY moved to other colonies and sectors of the universe.

    It would make sense for there to be more people, but humans are FAR spaced out (literally) now than our modern day thinking.

    You're kidding right? Assuming that 95% of humans lived in cities which seems realistic, that means each major one would be a megacity the size of Tokyo with over 30 million in its full district. If the Reapers destroyed a single city and you assume that maybe 75% were causalities, that's over 20 mill right there.
    Now let's take the fact that all defenses were down, assume that the Reapers took 3 days to take out the space defenses if even that long. That gives them 4 days to wreak havoc on the rest of Earth and it's major cities, and somehow I doubt that resistance fighters hiding in clock towers really did that much to save the cities.

    Also regarding the whole less populous thing. The population on ME2 is 11.4 billion. I checked ;)

    End Rant.

    Edit: Actually some guy pointed out on youtube that "reports are still coming in from other cities" so the soldier could just be referring to London, which in that case makes sense. Except for the fact that a week later a bunch of Reapers can't destroy a single city which doesn't.
