remember the first teaser for ME2 had the whole "shepard: MIA" stuff, and all the hubbub around it? i'm inclined to think that just because random soldier X is in a trailer a year out from release that he's not more than a convenient narrator
i didn't recognize his voice either
the first teaser listed Shepard as KIA and then he was KIA in the game, what's the problem here
it ended up as just an excuse for a skill point reset and wasn't the huge series-changing thing that people expected
all i'm saying is let's not read too much into this; bioware has a history of making teaser trailers that aren't a good summary of the final product

2,000,000 people in 24 hours. That's 23 deaths a second.
That's pretty fucking impressive you ball living weasel.
Is that 2 million across all of Earth? If my math is right, that's a death rate of ~2e-9 deaths per second, roughly twice as much as modern-day Swasiland. Come on Reapers, step it up!
7 million in one week? That's damn slow. We ourselves could kill 6 billion right now by nuking ourselves to hell. Though yea, I guess just landing and stepping on people with giant metal tentacles would only result in 7 million in a week.
It's just kinda underwhelming. They're this huge force for galactic extinction and they accomplish it by physically landing and squishing people with tentacles, at 7 million a week. That's gonna take fucking forever to wipe out every sentient species.
Though I will say that this could lead to a great setpiece in the actual game. Fighting around a Reaper onfoot could be like one of those Scarab battles from Halo 3, but on an even larger scale. That would be amazing.
EDIT: Now see, this is how you wipe out a species quickly and efficiently:
Awesome!!! I am so hyped for this game. This is like my HALO. This is my Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. This is my hotcakes when they were selling like hotcakes. This is my Kaz RIIIIIIIIIDGE RAAAAAAAAAAACEEEEEEEEEEER! Dude I am so hyped. The last time I felt this way about a game was when Metal Gear came out for the Playsation.
They are not looking for extinction, they are looking to harvest.
Oh, I see. The extinction just naturally results from the harvesting.
Still, kinda slow harvesting.
Well they don't just want to kill everyone they probably want to make everyone suffer so they will go really slow like how they did with the Prothians. Hell they didn't even kill all the Prothians just enough so they would slowly suffer and die.
There has to be, there has, has, has to be a scene in ME3 where Shepard can finally tell the Council. "Now do you believe me assholes?" We should get to unload all our righteous fury against them.
Only if it was immediately followed by "Dude you were working for Cerberus why would we tell you anything that's true." And then the Citadel fleet takes down like three Reapers at once because the Council actually knows what it's doing.
there's still no evidence that these aren't geth ships, since they match the profile of the previous confirmed geth ship

Holiday 2011? WHICH holiday? There's a whole bunch of them. Wait...maybe Bioware's going to announce a new holiday we celebrate our hatred of Batarians. Maybe it'll even be in....September.....
Sean Bean's from Sheffield and that's a London-ish accent.
If it's him then he's putting on an accent and I've never known him to be very good at that, or particularly willing.
Basically, it's not him, and I doubt any Brit thinks it is.

Maybe all the humans on earth became part of Cerberus and this is just karma biting them in the ass. Think about it: why would Shepard simply watch all this destruction from a far and walk away instead of diving head first to help? It's because those jerks are Cerberus, and fuck Cerberus!

Playin' a ME2 game now where every Cerberus crew member dies. It will be the only game that I don't immediately dive through the Omega 4 relay. It'll serve 'em right for singing up with Cerberus.
EAAARRRTTHHHH! Can't...wait...year...must raid Canada! I had to watch Dane Cook tell two sets of jokes that fell flat, but it was worth it to see that.

Your math is way, way, way, way off. 60s*60m*24hr = 86,400. 2mil/that = 23.1 deaths/second
7 million in one week? That's damn slow. We ourselves could kill 6 billion right now by nuking ourselves to hell.
Like people said, the 9 million is London. He says there are similar attacks in cities all over Earth. The 2010 population of London is 7.5 million, for comparison.
Presumably they're still fetishistic about human absorption which is why they're bothering to deploy husks (?) to run down unarmed civilians on the surface. Also does it seem a little weird to anyone else that the reapers have spotlights? (I love the distinctive reaper sound effect right after!)
Indoctrination takes time, doesn't it? And don't you have to be inside of a reaper or something? I don't know if they have Indoctrination Beams. It seems more useful as a means to grow an army that will be able to mow down everyone else.

I never asked for this!
And are we sure that that's Sean Bean's voice?

If you're wrong I want video evidence of this.
I'm pretty pumped.
Who else is pumped?
At least it's not his dick that's under the fork.
We've got a number of fellows wandering around sans-wang these days.

Yeah but the Reapers can't finish because they're so full from all the Batarians they ate on the way there.
Silver lining.

in London, at least.
I get the feeling the way he was talking, he was talking about his city alone.
I'm late to the party due to computer issues, I just want to say

Yeah, "another 7 million" by the end of the week.

Honestly might be my fave score of any game.
This one remains my favorite.
(Man check out Miranda there on the right.)
Because it's slow?
Also, why the Hell did you guys think that soldier was voiced by Sean Bean? It sounded nothing like Sean Bean. NOTHING!
Was that a husk the sniper shot?
Looked more like a Scion to me, but moved faster.
New enemy type?
