Welcome to Khar'shan, Human.

Current Mass Effect 3 Information:
High Rez scans of New Info
Humans aren’t the only species that can be Husk-ified.
ME3 begins with Earth’s assault by the Reapers, and things don’t look so good, but there’s something that is a silver lining, that makes it look like it’s actually possible to not lose against the reapers.
TIM has sent his top agents to take down Shepard, The combat is going to be much harder and melee attacks are going to have more focus.
Shooting specific armor parts can have certain effects, and the AI of the enemies will have them routing Shepard and will coordinate with each other
Battlefields are going to be a great deal larger, and combat will be very varied.
Enemy Weapons can be picked up. Soldiers can carry all kinds of weapons, and other classes understandably less so.
There is a larger skill tree and RPG aspects are going to be more integrated.
Weapon Modding is a greenlight, with things like barrels and scopes
Modding your weapons will vastly affect their appearance and how they function in battle
So far the CONFIRMED SQUADMATES are: Ashley/Kaiden, Liara, Garrus, and James Sanders who is mentioned is an Alliance Marine
Species Loyalty cannot only get obtained via Quests
Levels will have ladders
Available Squadmates will still maintain a balance, if per say Garrus had not survived ME2′s events
Mass Effect 1′s decisions, such as sparing the Rachni, will have a grave impact in ME3
There’s no railroad to the end of the game, there are multiple paths to take back Earth.
We will visit the Salarian home world which is in a conflict related to the genophage.
Resolving Quarian/Geth conflict will also be heavily influential acquiring allies.

taky, paragon needs more veiled threats

"Tali, great news! You'll never guess what I did today! I found a new homeworld for the drell! Yeah, those guys were really suffering out there in the galaxy without a homeworld to call their own, and it turned out that a lot of them were having, you know, health complications as a result of having to live somewhere that wasn't really a good native environment for them. It took some work, but as soon as I found the beautiful, peaceful, completely habitable planet, I knew the drell had to have it. The only drawback is that it's got that weird amino acid chirality that the turians have, so all the food will be backward. It's okay, though. The drell are still pretty happy. And the hanar have made me an honorary paragon! I kind of thought that was a different IP, but it turns out that if they love you enough, they do it, too!"

...

"Man, Tali, today was the worst. You remember how I didn't kill the rachni queen? Well, she was back, all ready to lay about a zillion eggs and help fight the Reapers, but she didn't have a homeworld, so I had to go fight on this planet that had been totally overrun by Loki mechs. I'm pretty sure the ol' omni-tool is all worn out from overloading synthetics all day, but the rachni finally have a homeworld of their own. It doesn't have the climate the rachni prefer -- it's constantly sunny, about 75 F during the day, gorgeous sunsets, oh, and the weirdest thing is that it's completely hypoallergenic, no bacteria or harmful irritants at all. I know, right? Who makes a planet like that? I dunno if the Lokis killed everything or what, but man, the thought of killing that many robots just to help somebody get a homeworld... whodathunk?"

...

"Hey, T-Zor! How's it going? You're never gonna guess who was on the phone? WREAV. Man, I don't even like the krogs much, and after putting down Wrex on Virmire, I thought they'd never be my friends again, but it turns out that if I get them a homeworld, they can leave their horribly irradiated home planet, and they'll totally be my friends! I have no idea why I'd want psychotic box turtles with shotguns for friends, but maybe they'll come in handy. So I was thinking, right, and stop me if this sounds crazy. You remember how you guys lost your homeworld to the geth? What if I blew up all the geth and then let the krogan move in? They'd be my bros and stuff, and maybe you guys could tell them where the best places to grow food are and stuff, since you used to live there and all. Hey, Tali McNally, that shotgun is for missions only, girlfriend. You shouldn't point that thing at people, even as a joke--"

    Way I hear it?

    Two things to do if you wind up in a prison here. Bang my head on the wall until it bursts, or kill every son-of-a-bitch between me and an escape ship.

    Figuring the latter option sounds better at the moment.

    The Blitz?

    I'm going with Mindoir for my memories.

    Every bullet I place in a Batarian skull, some poor farmer rests a little easier in his unmarked grave.

    Heard Commander Shepard lost her family there. Guess that explains a little about her sunny disposition.

    Glad someone posted better scans of the article if just so I can actually read some of it. Like if we're flying the Normandy-2 or 3.
    Nice way to appease those who want to keep the N2 and those who want a new ship. I guess that's another reason TIM's after Shepard. The big question however is if the Alliance tools and takes apart the N2, how is EDI going to avoid being erased by some Alliance bigwig who doesn't want the wrath of the Council coming down upon Earth for harboring an A.I.?

    If they did that it would only be to enslave all the citadel races after they've been weakened by the reapers.
