Hackett: “Shepard, let me tell you something I’ve learned the hard way. You can pay a soldier to fire a gun. You can pay a soldier to charge and take a hill. But you can’t pay him to believe.” Shepard: “I’m afraid I don’t follow sir.” Hackett: “That mission against Sovereign all those years ago? There was no reason to believe you’d win. But your team didn’t seem to care; they went along anyway. That mission into the Omega Relay? That was a suicide mission if there ever was one. But there your team was again, standing at your side, *proud* to serve. Why? Because they *believed in you.* And it’s that kind of belief we need right now.”

@@radopposums2829 Well now. Everyone has their own issues and little skeletons in the closet, but "cripples, bastards and broken things" is taking it a bit too far. Accurate for the ME2 companions alone, perhaps, but certainly not everyone. Let's recap, shall we? Ashley Williams/Kaidan Alenko: Highly trained and extremely capable soldiers. One is a powerful biotic. Spectre material. No real issues to speak of. Tali'Zorah nar Rayya (later vas Normandy): Genius tech expert, at least adequate combatant, next in line for Admiralty Board of the Quarian Fleet. Young and impulsive, at least at first, but hardly a real issue. Garrus Vakarian: Elite sniper, tech expert, capable investigator. Hot-headed and with a strong sense of justice. Spectre material. No real issues. Urdnot Wrex: Krogan Battlemaster and later leader of his people. Stubborn and set in his ways to the point of potentially compromising sound judgement (Virmire), but capable of making the right calls nevertheless. Liara T'Soni: Expert archaologist, powerful biotic. Later extremely competent information broker. No real issues. etc, etc.
That moment when Destiny Ascension comes out of the relay, leading the Asari fleets, and you think, damn, having to deal with these Council fucks for all this time was well worth having this ship by my side.
+B.A.Krokodil I remember the moment when Destiny Ascension emerged from Sol Relay and flew by. My 5+1 sound system was pretty cranked and the tremble coming from bass was... whoa... the shivers went all over my spine...
This is undoubtabky the best moment in the series. For just a moment, you think that MAYBE there is a chance that you can pull it off. And Hacket's speech before hand is awesome. It would have been better if you could see the troops you gathered in action on earth. Maybe even a mechanic where you could call for help from these troops. I mean who didn't want to see the Elcor walking tanks or the Volus bombing fleet ffs!?
I think this moment is second best in the series besides the suicide mission. One is more grand and epic, while the other is tenser and personal, with characters you've become attached to at risk of death. Both are great, but the Suicide Mission soundtrack makes it more epic
@@PonzooonTheGreat apparently it wasn't that they where rushed but that theyd ecided to completely change the ending at the last minute cause the ending had leaked and the writer decided to go with an "artsy" ending.
M3RCxNationHQ, this scene was my favorite, when ALL the Fleets you can recruit show up.. you could picture Shepard at the Galaxy map giving the order: "Shepard to all fleets.. at my signal.. UNLEASH HELL!!"
NatureXwars you can get the Geth Fleet appearing if you complete certain missions a particular way.. same with the Migrant fleet. I have done it in ME3
There is a reason that this song uses the same ME1 theme from "Spectre Induction". When that original scene played in ME1, that is when the Reapers lost the war.
that is a great insight on behalf of your intellect and not stolen from the user @karankenZ commenting on "spectre induction" (ruclips.net/video/Vk8gVWOy7uo/видео.html). i am certain that when i quote karankenZ stating that "There is a reason this is the same as "the fleet arrives". In the history of mass effect, let it be known , that this was the moment when the reapers lost the war." the similarities to your comment are purely incidental and not of plagiaristic nature.

There is just something touching about the thought that here is the entire might of this galaxy you have been trying to save for a hundred and fifty hours of game, and they are ro the last man ready to risk everything for a last chance.
It’s the culmination of this entire hopeless feeling you’ve had through the entire game. You’ve lost pretty much every battle but when you see the fleets arrive you think “maybe we can win this”

I had a similar battle, against the Prethoryn Scourge. Most of the empires had been destroyed, the only ones remaining being me, the smaller empires under my protectorate, an awakened empire, and the Sentinels. My original world was being invaded and populations devoured. My largest fleet, and even my last, made up of the remnants of fleets that somehow tried to contain the infection was followed by the Sentinels and the best that the small empires under my protection had to offer. The larger fleet was invading my original system and preparing to leave it to Attack another when the combined fleets passed the hyperlink. When the fleet was destroyed an army of reconquest made up of several species of the galaxy, refugees in me and of my humans reconquered the planet. And after long battles, the Scourge was defeated, leaving a galaxy littered with the ruins of ancient galactic empires.
@@lordmazdamundi2847 I had a mass effect mod and I launched an offensive against the reapers (the machine one but it changed it) as the Asari with the mod that adds their civilization. The first ships of a United galaxy to arrive where my ships in huge numbers.
I remember this one time in Stellaris when I was in a war with my playthrough's equivalent of the krogan and I don't know whether it was a ridiculous fleet that I missed or a powerful space station but they had somehow destroyed the vast majority of my 2nd fleet. So I had merged my 1st fleet and what was left of the 2nd to try take out what had destroyed my ships. Sometimes when I look back, I think that it would've looked and sounded like this when my fleet arrived to kick their ass back to their home world.
The secret to the ending: *It WAS actually made at the last moment, days before content lockdown* (aka the date from when work on the game is no longer permitted)
As far as I care, the real ending was the moment the fleets arrived. It was the last time anything relevant happened that was the direct result of decisions you made in previous games, and left me with a pride to be human I can't describe. If I somehow never wanted to interact with semi-benevolent alien races before that moment, there was no way I'd still feel that way afterwards. Somehow, they managed to match, if not mirror, the moment Joker took the Normandy into that dive against Harbringer. The rest of the "ending" aside, Bioware knows how to make your hair stand on end. Like no one else.
That was a key moment for me too. Humans might be intriguing, ignorant dickheads sometime, but never underestimate the good ones among us. While others fought for the glory and the gain of power, we fought for the universe. The trilogy was a masterpiece (and a pretty philosophical one).
3 games' hard work of reconciling hostile camps culminated in this proud moment. The sighting of a pan-galactic fleet was a toast to the Commander's career, an occasion for hand-over-mouth gestures and tears of bitter joy. If Shepard had died there and then--flashbacking to the cost of her accomplishment--it would have been a life better spent than the one wasted on the anticlimactic "Catalyst."
***** Bioware has a difficult act to juggle: While the company cannot surrender its artistic license, it also cannot disregard the demands of its customer base.
***** Bioware may have intellectual property rights to the game, but it is the customer base that decides whether the company remains a lucrative acquisition for EA. Bioware can ill-afford to bite the hand that feeds it a second time.
Yet CryTek has had trouble. Non-payment, almost going bankrupt, there main thing now is to license their CryEngine for a free 2 play model. So, it has cost them substantially. And considering the crap that EA releases and then the games still go well review wise (playbase often has complaints that someone we're not in the review copy of the game), it would be hard for a company to give up job security for a losing a bit of creative power over their content.
Which is why I choose the perfect destroy ending every single time....Like I'm actually going to take the catalysts word for it when it says that there can never be peace between synthetics and organics. The mere fact that my Shepard was even standing there to begin with is proof that the Catalyst can't foresee every outcome. I'm not having Shepard give in to the Catalyst's demands when I already know that Catalyst's data is flawed.
For those of you out there talking about how easy it would be for a Halo weapon to destroy a Reaper, apparently you don't realize how powerful the shields of a non-Destroyer Reaper are. The Destroyers which Shepard and his team have defeated multiple times (Tuchanka and Earth more specifically) aren't that difficult to take down. But if you want to see how much punishment a Capital Ship can take, look at the Reaper in ME2 that's floating above Klendagon and look at the planet Klendagon itself. Klendagon and that Reaper were both struck by a Mass Accelerator weapon that created a gigantic rift in the planet's southern hemisphere that's easily viewable from really far away because of it's sheer size. Yet the Reaper was even able to survive that, though heavily damaged. Just sayin'.
Besides the Halo Rings, which I'm assuming that's what you mean, aren't even designed to destroy anything like Reaper tech. They're meant to wipe out organic life.
Why are people even comparing Mass Effect technology to Halo? Yes, Halo tech is stronger. The UNSC has nearly 400 years of scientific and technological development over the System's Alliance. It should hardly be a surprise that they are more advanced.
It is intriuging that if the Reapers decided to wait just half a millenia, or were by chance somehow delayed, their whole plan would have crumbled, isn't it?
No they dont. The humans in ME got tech from aliens that had already established a galactic civilization for 1000s of years before humans discovered it.
@@theleoita90 40k wins all scenarios, Humanity is just OP in comparision. That said, the Reaps would get obliterated by everything else too. May be a decent solution to the Nids though.
I loved this scene. It really gave you the feel that this is the showdown, the final battle. You either gain everything or loose everything. One shall stand and one shall fall.
A little note to everyone saying "ME beats Halo, or 40k beats ME" Or whatever it is. Let me remind you Mass Effect takes place in the 2100's. Halo in the 2500's. And 40k in the 40,000's, so by that logic, it is physically impossible for any of the universes to intersect. Good day.
The Cheekiest of Scrubs but reapers beat everything. Inorganic so immune to flood and tyranids, firepower rivals any 40k warship, indoctrination easily enslaves covenant, and just the experience of waging galactic wars of genocide for millions of years (not to mention all kinds of monsters they can conjure up, we all know husks, collectors, etc, but remember the adjutunts are probably the most dangerous because they can directly convert by virus, not just dragons teeth). So against any foe, indoctrination starts a civil war with sabotage and espionage eroding the war effort, they can employ novel strategies (like a lack of defense and supply lines) throwing the enemy off balance, they convert your armies and civilians into their horde, and they can afford scorched earth tactics. So we have a war of attrition being waged potentially with one reaper raising its own army on thousands of worlds, there's no real defensive formation to hold just a general melee, and any "ace" superweapon is very likely to be sabotaged or even turned against you.
+Connor O'Brien That's simply not true, the Reapers are so immensely powerful in the ME universe because that universe doesn't use insane numbers. For 40k, even the smallest of Imperium ships outclasses every single thing a Reaper has. Their ground forces would be in many cases vaporized by the Imperial Guard, not even getting into the Space Marines. This isn't even getting into the Necrons who make Reapers seem like Tinker Toys in terms of AI complexity. They have a weapon that can instantly destroy any star in the galaxy. All of this is without the Chaos Gods and all their crazy fuckery, and let's remember that Khorne gets stronger with any act of violence, or psykers, or any of the other races who each outnumber the Reapers. Pretty much nothing touches 40k, and the entire Reaper fleet is batted aside by a small flotilla. One 40k planet has something to the tune of 300 TRILLION ships. The Reapers are also outclassed by the Covenant in terms of firepower, though they have the numbers to swarm modern Halo. But if we get near the Forerunners, who outclass even 40k, the Reapers again ain't shit.

Listening to this track over and over again, I can feel a enormous surge of positive energy and optimism. Solving coding problems just has totally new meaning. :)
Jovan Perović I know what you mean. It's like a virtual red bull. Only difference is the input method, and the way it invokes the 'will do it, come hell or high water' aggression in our mind.
a trilogy with the quality of ME but playing an Inquisitor and his/her retitude in the 40k universe would cause such worldwide nerdgasm that it would open a fucking Eye of Terror just near us
Oh man ME was such a good game, I only wish they made warhammer, star trek or star wars games of this caliber. I dont want better graphics or anything just the same epic experience :)
When I first saw this scene, with the hundreds of ships of all the species I’d rallied behind me, I felt very much like what we call in my country, Billy Big-Bollocks - I was coming for a fight and I had backup. This music was PERFECT for this most epic of moments!
This song/theme as far as I'm concerned is the absolute high point of the series. The moment all you have been working towards finally come together, all fleets, races come together to start the final battle! Pitty we only saw a few seconds of the whole fight - and then 'that' ending which made it all for nothing...
This scene, the moment the Normandy appears with this amazing, simply amazing piece of music, followed by the hundreds if not thousands of ships from the various allied galactic forces, has got to be up there with the best moments in all of TV, film and gaming media. That's no exaggeration. The first time I saw this was a moment I will never forget. Forgetting the ending, the rest of ME3 was incredible.
so many mass effect vs halo comment's. halo would win. unsc would beat the Alliance. and really why would you care about them attacking each other and them not helping each other.
Why the fuck does everyone forget disruptor torpedoes from swarming fighters. A single dreadnought supported by a single carrier would wipe the floor with any capital ship. Even the Infinity.
Constitution to all fleets, report in. Alliance Fleet reporting. Turian Fleet reporting Geth Fleet reporting Klingon Fleet reporting Cardassian Fleet reporting Jem'Hadar Armada reporting Kazon Fleet reporting. All fleets reporting in Captain, ready to engage the enemy
Commander Shepard: " This bond that ties us together is something the Reapers will never understand. It's more powerful than any weapon, stronger than any ship. It can't be taken or destroyed. The next few hours will decide the fate of everyone in the galaxy; every mother, every son, every un-born child. But take heart, look around you. You're not alone in this fight. We face our enemy together and together we will defeat them. "
I wouldn't be too sure about that. In terms of space combat, the UNSC could do quite a bit of damage with their MAC rounds, and the average Covenant ship is about the size of a Reaper capital ship, and each Covenant ship has pretty powerful plasma weaponry. For example, a Covenant Super-Carrier is 29 kilometers in length, I'm pretty sure that could take on multiple Reapers. However, in terms of ground combat, the Mass Effect universe would defeat Halo.
Not awesome. Unless you call Starfleet tearing the reapers up awesome. Reapers don't have any shielding against energy weapons, only kinetic barriers. Starfleet vessels have mutiphasic shields which can deflect attacks even when they are out of phase. Plus phasers will cut reapers in half without a problem. Add to that the Defiant fleet Starfleet formed, and it's gonna be one hell of a firework show.
Your telling me the tiny fleets of the alliance would destroy the UNSC fleet? The one that gets stationed at hundreds of planets with each major planet holding a dozen or so ships. The UNSC fleet is like 20x the size of the alliance. Then the Covenant have had 500 ships in one area and had 300 attack a planet. The alliance and Turians would be outmatched and outgunned, don't even get me started on Super carriers and the Infinity.
If you are gonna simply imply that the UNSC ship are impractical....why bother have the fight.....if you use both side to there universe believed propertys...the UNSC and the Alliance will fight until one wins......be it the more believable and technological Alliance ships or the Larger (Reapers a 2km .....UNSC frigates are 2km long....the Infinity 3 miles) and more heavily weaponized UNSC
Last I checked....a Reaper is one of the Biggest ships in the ME universe.....2km long....a Halcyon Class cruiser (Piller of Autumn) from the Halo universe is 3km long and the biggest UNSC ship (Infinity) in 3 and a half miles long.....the Normandy can fit in its main guns........that is gonna be a problem for Alliance....Plus...why would they even fight....UNSC and the Alliance are BOTH fighting for Earth......so....ya
Furthermore, once the main MAC cannon is gone, the ship is fairly useless. Slipspace doesn't exist in the ME universe, whilst negative mass allowing FTL travel should exist in the Halo universe (due to near-identical laws of physics), which means that not only would the ships be unable to shoot anything after one shot, the ships would then be unable to flee. The ships from the ME universe then come along and shot the UNSC ships to buggery.
And before you say anything about how the UNSC ships have larger slugs and higher speeds, the recoil on the UNSC ships would put SO MUCH strain on the ships IRL that they would be utterly demolished. You're firing nearly a third of a tonne to 119916983.2 meters a second. Stupidly fast, stupidly damaging, but it also means that their guns would be single shot before needing replacing. You can't launch something like that without the firer REALLY suffering.
Okay, I hate this argument as there are so many variables to be pointed out, but my money would be on Halo. The UNSC tends to use very very destructive weapons (as in a nuke that destroys a planet and its moon) and gigantic mass accelerator weapons. The Covenant literally chars planets over with massive plasma beams and has thousands of ships. You must admit that the sheer destructive potential of the Halo fleets is incredible. There are bad ass fleets on both sides, but in my opinion Halo wins.
We are the Borg, lower your shields and surrender your ships. Your technological and biological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile. It is simply a fact that you and your kind have trespassed, and thus invited extermination. Curse you for putting me to this inconvenience. -Anrakyr the Traveller (Overlord to the Necron Legions) Death Star prepared and at full power. Shields operational. Super star destroyer and star destroyers, launch the attack.
You forget that the Reapers failed to indoctrinate even half the Mass effect universe leaders. Shepard, Garus, Anderson, Liara, Tali all were out there kicking ass. Spartans would be less likely to be indoctrinated than most as would captains of starships. Btw, this is actually quite an interesting though experiment, mainly because there is no right answer, it's completely subjective. :D
My favorite part of this scene is when the SR2 Normandy was heading towards the Earth followed by the entire galactic fleet a few seconds later. Shepard had come a long way from the prophetic soldier to an actual commander in chief of the milky way's galactic forces.
Very funny, The UNSC Battlegroups would completely fuck the Alliance and Turians up, The STRONGEST Mass Effect ship, Which is, to the best of my knowledge, An Everest class dreadnought is half as strong as the weakest UNSC ship, A scout, The only way the UNSC could be beaten by Mass Effect is if they do the same thing as they did for the Reapers, Unite everyone
I have, Favorite book by Wells is a rather obscure book called floor games. Buck rogers is to 'merica for me and Jules Verns Best book is the Journey to the Center of the Earth. Please Don't call me a twat, Considering how i just mugged you Off. I was referring to most recent Sci fi film and TV, Games are great, but only if they're believable.
Wasn't referring to the Terran empire from sad ass starcraft, referring from star trek. Warhammer is just another fantasy, the only cool thing about it is the Adeptus Astartes, nothing else, and even they are based upon Teutonic and Templar Knights. I would cut you some slack but all sci fi is based upon star trek.
You are right there but where would the fun be for the reapers if they did that, they have thousands of ships so perhaps they thought they didn't need to do it and could just go in there and blow the crap out of everything. Yes i agree it's also nice to see someone who isn't going to moan at everyone of your posts and will actually have a conversation :)
Halo is a great game and so is Mass Effect but if you're really going to compare look at fleet size, the reapers have 2km ships that are fully functional AI which are self aware. They have been making these for over 37 million years, plus they shoot at near lightspeed and turn your troops into their troops.
Are you guys seriously trying argue across different stories literary tools? That's kinda pointless because anyone can just up another person. Ya a completed Death Star will kill everything in its path. How about Lexx? How about the Sun Crusher? How about the Borg or Species 8472?
Nukes aren't as effective as a 10 ton slug sped up to a fraction of the speed of light, also, the kinetic barriers on most ships would negate most of the effect a nuke's impact would have, making them kinda pointless, as the radioactive fallout wouldn't affect the airtight starship.
The UNSC have far less in terms of technology compared to the Alliance. I think the only thing the UNSC would have up against the Alliance that would be considered SUPERIOR is probably Spartans (I'm just gonna say Spartan-II) and FTL technology (slipspace and all)
Pffff, you're seriously putting the Reapers up against EVERY faction in the Haloverse? Yeah, no. You put them up against a single Forerunner Fortress-class ship and that entire fleet would be fucking stomped without barely a scratch on that ship. Hell, a Contender-class AI could fucking stomp them
All the factions? So the Forerunner whose ships cannot be destroyed without some serious firepower, then you have the prometheans and flood (Which would destroy and assimilate reaper forces) Then Super MAC and normal MAC cannons that would make the Reapers look like swiss cheese.
but you cant compare those games they are very different law wise and story wise plus ones a shooter where you follow the story of one guy that cant be changed and the other is an rpg were you make your own story through the choices you make but they are still both fantastic games in there own way
I meant the muarders/cannibals and the like, they are organic mash ups combined with some technology but still suitable to the flood. As long as there is a whole body, a nervous system and sufficient Biomass it can be taken over.
The Reapers would just lol all over the flood - Flood wouldn't be able to do shit to the Reapers. And humanity? Covenant? They wouldn't stand a chance either, Covenant would probably be Reapers biggest challenge but still a cake walk really.
ima gonna nerd rage you when ima gonna say that the entire fleets of the imperium of man will butcher both the reapers + the turians + the alliance + the unsc + the covenant combined or maybe i'll throw in a single cairne class tombship :))
The Flood wouldn't be able to infect Reapers are synthetic not organic. However, because they are synthetic, the Flood could use Logic Plague which either defect them and serve the Flood or be completely destroyed.
and my necron tomb ships backed up by several world engines (huge death star like ships capable of obliterating entire planets) would gobble up the reapers, the UNSC, the covenant and the entire alliance+turian armada
to think of it, we have Asari, Turian, Batarian, Quarian, Krogan, Elcor, Hanar, Geth.... and only 3 Mass Effect games. UNSC and Covenant make it 5 so far. Where is JUSTICE!!?? I WANT more ME...
Nobody watched Star Trek I, which was in fact critically panned. Star Trek II on the otherhand is a masterpiece. I was rubbish. But that's how Star Trek rolls, odd numbers=bad, even=good.
Not likely. A Reaper would have to indoctrinate a Gravemind and from what evidence shows, Gravemind consciousness is transcendent and the gravemind is more like a physical form.
The Normandy is one ship a frigate. That would not make the fleet unstoppable. Nothing a Halo AI couldn't deal with to shut down it's defense suite and EDI would be totally outclassed.
Sorry but im gonna have to nerd rage on you the fleets of the turians and alliance would tear the UNSC and conevnant fleets so many ass holes they'd be mistaken for batarians
Mass Effect is the greatest thing ever i wish the world goverments would stop bombing each other and fund a real space program the Reapers could be out there and we need to get ready!
Make a crossover fanfic with the Zorich universe. European directory there has the Elzas-class battleships, and one of them might as well be called Normandy. 12 21,5" Skoda dual acceleration cannons, meters of armor plating, anti-laser shields, and it can also land on the ground, despite being 800 meters long.
As cool as the scene looks, it makes no sense. You remember how a relay works? Using a relay causes drift. You have a set arrival point, but you will never exactly reach it, you have room for error. The Omega 4 relay uses special protocols to reduce that drift. Now for one ship that isn't a big deal. Let's have a fleet all warp to the same location. Most of these ships will collide because of drift.
The UNSC fleet would fail against the Alliance or Turian fleet but the Covenants should win i think against of these 2 opponents but against both at the same time not.
They can win this. After all, the main purpose was to bring the whole galaxy united. Hacket is simply wrong and we'll see the effects of choosing refusal in ME4.
Not exactly. Reaper Kinetic Barriers were vulnerable to heat based weapons, such as Thanix Cannons. Halo Universe Plasma weapons would likely be highly effective.
Because in ME3 when you go talk to Udina he says that the first things the reapers went for are the satellites orbiting earth and the nuclear missile silos

This is undoubtabky the best moment in the series. For just a moment, you think that MAYBE there is a chance that you can pull it off. And Hacket's speech before hand is awesome. It would have been better if you could see the troops you gathered in action on earth. Maybe even a mechanic where you could call for help from these troops. I mean who didn't want to see the Elcor walking tanks or the Volus bombing fleet ffs!?
+PonzooonTheGreat The game was great up until this scene.
Fukin EA rushing Bioware.
Maybe one day we'll get a remake (Not a remaster) that has stuff like that in it.
I think this moment is second best in the series besides the suicide mission. One is more grand and epic, while the other is tenser and personal, with characters you've become attached to at risk of death. Both are great, but the Suicide Mission soundtrack makes it more epic
@@PonzooonTheGreat apparently it wasn't that they where rushed but that theyd ecided to completely change the ending at the last minute cause the ending had leaked and the writer decided to go with an "artsy" ending.
Aside from all these arguments, I kinda liked this scene.
When all the fleets started showing up I was like "Aw damn, Shit just got real."
I don't know, i thought g ear out ng the fear in jack's voice really drove it home
+M3RCxNationHQ Game was great till this scene imo.
M3RCxNationHQ, this scene was my favorite, when ALL the Fleets you can recruit show up.. you could picture Shepard at the Galaxy map giving the order: "Shepard to all fleets.. at my signal.. UNLEASH HELL!!"
Not all, the Geth fleet are nowhere to be seen in the cutscenes & the Migrant Fleet only appeared in that one little scene when they passed Jupiter..
NatureXwars you can get the Geth Fleet appearing if you complete certain missions a particular way.. same with the Migrant fleet. I have done it in ME3
There is a reason that this song uses the same ME1 theme from "Spectre Induction". When that original scene played in ME1, that is when the Reapers lost the war.
+Jennifer Popa Holy... I didn´t recognize that it was the same theme
They use that song a lot in the trilogy if you notice, very good observation Jennifer :)

i am certain that when i quote karankenZ stating that "There is a reason this is the same as "the fleet arrives".

I am not going to lie. When the ships start pouring in and the full orchestral version of the title theme starts playing, I teared up. There is just something touching about the thought that here is the entire might of this galaxy you have been trying to save for a hundred and fifty hours of game, and they are ro the last man ready to risk everything for a last chance.
It’s the culmination of this entire hopeless feeling you’ve had through the entire game. You’ve lost pretty much every battle but when you see the fleets arrive you think “maybe we can win this”
Except salarians :P

Imagine this scene, as part of a remastered game, that supported vr or 3d. music blaring at full blast, the light at the side, illuminating the relay and the surrounding space, and bang! the fleets arrive, jumping out at you, so close and massive as if you could reach out and touch them. I would love that

@@g1jetfireandrainbowdash798 Bruh give it like 10 more years. Vr games of that kinda scale are unlikely to happen anytime soon, but i almost certain at least something similiar will happen at some point
Well, we're getting the Legendary Edition, so this scene will be twice as awesome!
I used this for when I retook my homeworld in stellaris against an awakened fallen empire. It was a glorious battle.
I had a similar battle, against the Prethoryn Scourge. Most of the empires had been destroyed, the only ones remaining being me, the smaller empires under my protectorate, an awakened empire, and the Sentinels.
My original world was being invaded and populations devoured. My largest fleet, and even my last, made up of the remnants of fleets that somehow tried to contain the infection was followed by the Sentinels and the best that the small empires under my protection had to offer. The larger fleet was invading my original system and preparing to leave it to Attack another when the combined fleets passed the hyperlink. When the fleet was destroyed an army of reconquest made up of several species of the galaxy, refugees in me and of my humans reconquered the planet. And after long battles, the Scourge was defeated, leaving a galaxy littered with the ruins of ancient galactic empires.
@@lordmazdamundi2847 I had a mass effect mod and I launched an offensive against the reapers (the machine one but it changed it) as the Asari with the mod that adds their civilization. The first ships of a United galaxy to arrive where my ships in huge numbers.
I remember this one time in Stellaris when I was in a war with my playthrough's equivalent of the krogan and I don't know whether it was a ridiculous fleet that I missed or a powerful space station but they had somehow destroyed the vast majority of my 2nd fleet. So I had merged my 1st fleet and what was left of the 2nd to try take out what had destroyed my ships. Sometimes when I look back, I think that it would've looked and sounded like this when my fleet arrived to kick their ass back to their home world.
This is it everyone. Attack at my signal....FIRE!

The secret to the ending: *It WAS actually made at the last moment, days before content lockdown* (aka the date from when work on the game is no longer permitted)
каво
As far as I care, the real ending was the moment the fleets arrived. It was the last time anything relevant happened that was the direct result of decisions you made in previous games, and left me with a pride to be human I can't describe.
If I somehow never wanted to interact with semi-benevolent alien races before that moment, there was no way I'd still feel that way afterwards.
Somehow, they managed to match, if not mirror, the moment Joker took the Normandy into that dive against Harbringer. The rest of the "ending" aside, Bioware knows how to make your hair stand on end. Like no one else.
Couldn't agree more!
That was a key moment for me too. Humans might be intriguing, ignorant dickheads sometime, but never underestimate the good ones among us. While others fought for the glory and the gain of power, we fought for the universe. The trilogy was a masterpiece (and a pretty philosophical one).
Cant agree more, this spells it out +
100% EMS : now unleash hell!
Yeah!!!
Garrus: "We're in the Endgame now"
"On my signal, unleash hell.....Fire!"
3 games' hard work of reconciling hostile camps culminated in this proud moment. The sighting of a pan-galactic fleet was a toast to the Commander's career, an occasion for hand-over-mouth gestures and tears of bitter joy. If Shepard had died there and then--flashbacking to the cost of her accomplishment--it would have been a life better spent than the one wasted on the anticlimactic "Catalyst."
*****
Bioware has a difficult act to juggle: While the company cannot surrender its artistic license, it also cannot disregard the demands of its customer base.
*****
Bioware may have intellectual property rights to the game, but it is the customer base that decides whether the company remains a lucrative acquisition for EA. Bioware can ill-afford to bite the hand that feeds it a second time.
Yet CryTek has had trouble. Non-payment, almost going bankrupt, there main thing now is to license their CryEngine for a free 2 play model.
So, it has cost them substantially. And considering the crap that EA releases and then the games still go well review wise (playbase often has complaints that someone we're not in the review copy of the game), it would be hard for a company to give up job security for a losing a bit of creative power over their content.
Which is why I choose the perfect destroy ending every single time....Like I'm actually going to take the catalysts word for it when it says that there can never be peace between synthetics and organics. The mere fact that my Shepard was even standing there to begin with is proof that the Catalyst can't foresee every outcome. I'm not having Shepard give in to the Catalyst's demands when I already know that Catalyst's data is flawed.
R.I.P Marauder Shield
Honestly, everything before the final 15 minutes of ME3 was great. I really wish this particular scene had lasted longer though.
For those of you out there talking about how easy it would be for a Halo weapon to destroy a Reaper, apparently you don't realize how powerful the shields of a non-Destroyer Reaper are. The Destroyers which Shepard and his team have defeated multiple times (Tuchanka and Earth more specifically) aren't that difficult to take down. But if you want to see how much punishment a Capital Ship can take, look at the Reaper in ME2 that's floating above Klendagon and look at the planet Klendagon itself. Klendagon and that Reaper were both struck by a Mass Accelerator weapon that created a gigantic rift in the planet's southern hemisphere that's easily viewable from really far away because of it's sheer size. Yet the Reaper was even able to survive that, though heavily damaged. Just sayin'.
Floating above Mnemosyne, not Klendagon. wooopsie daisy
Besides the Halo Rings, which I'm assuming that's what you mean, aren't even designed to destroy anything like Reaper tech. They're meant to wipe out organic life.
ir0nsquire Reapers are half organic.
And they all miss the the indoctrination part ^^
Meh, Thel Vadam could scare away the Reapers with his badass voice.
Why are people even comparing Mass Effect technology to Halo? Yes, Halo tech is stronger. The UNSC has nearly 400 years of scientific and technological development over the System's Alliance. It should hardly be a surprise that they are more advanced.
It is intriuging that if the Reapers decided to wait just half a millenia, or were by chance somehow delayed, their whole plan would have crumbled, isn't it?
No they dont. The humans in ME got tech from aliens that had already established a galactic civilization for 1000s of years before humans discovered it.

I loved this scene. It really gave you the feel that this is the showdown, the final battle. You either gain everything or loose everything. One shall stand and one shall fall.
The Reapers: (chuckles) I'm in danger
One of the most intense moments in mass effect history.
And video game history.
A little note to everyone saying "ME beats Halo, or 40k beats ME" Or whatever it is. Let me remind you Mass Effect takes place in the 2100's. Halo in the 2500's. And 40k in the 40,000's, so by that logic, it is physically impossible for any of the universes to intersect. Good day.
Kesslr if you thought enough about it you could merge Halo with ME but 40K is just so far away from both of them that its not at all feasible
Ben Wilson I suppose, I could see Mass Effect meeting Halo in a few hundred years. Yeah. Thank's for the input.
The Cheekiest of Scrubs but reapers beat everything. Inorganic so immune to flood and tyranids, firepower rivals any 40k warship, indoctrination easily enslaves covenant, and just the experience of waging galactic wars of genocide for millions of years (not to mention all kinds of monsters they can conjure up, we all know husks, collectors, etc, but remember the adjutunts are probably the most dangerous because they can directly convert by virus, not just dragons teeth). So against any foe, indoctrination starts a civil war with sabotage and espionage eroding the war effort, they can employ novel strategies (like a lack of defense and supply lines) throwing the enemy off balance, they convert your armies and civilians into their horde, and they can afford scorched earth tactics. So we have a war of attrition being waged potentially with one reaper raising its own army on thousands of worlds, there's no real defensive formation to hold just a general melee, and any "ace" superweapon is very likely to be sabotaged or even turned against you.
+Connor O'Brien That's simply not true, the Reapers are so immensely powerful in the ME universe because that universe doesn't use insane numbers. For 40k, even the smallest of Imperium ships outclasses every single thing a Reaper has. Their ground forces would be in many cases vaporized by the Imperial Guard, not even getting into the Space Marines. This isn't even getting into the Necrons who make Reapers seem like Tinker Toys in terms of AI complexity. They have a weapon that can instantly destroy any star in the galaxy. All of this is without the Chaos Gods and all their crazy fuckery, and let's remember that Khorne gets stronger with any act of violence, or psykers, or any of the other races who each outnumber the Reapers. Pretty much nothing touches 40k, and the entire Reaper fleet is batted aside by a small flotilla. One 40k planet has something to the tune of 300 TRILLION ships.
The Reapers are also outclassed by the Covenant in terms of firepower, though they have the numbers to swarm modern Halo. But if we get near the Forerunners, who outclass even 40k, the Reapers again ain't shit.

Oh man ME was such a good game, I only wish they made warhammer, star trek or star wars games of this caliber. I dont want better graphics or anything just the same epic experience :)
Getting goose bummps.....
When I first saw this scene, with the hundreds of ships of all the species I’d rallied behind me, I felt very much like what we call in my country, Billy Big-Bollocks - I was coming for a fight and I had backup. This music was PERFECT for this most epic of moments!
This song/theme as far as I'm concerned is the absolute high point of the series. The moment all you have been working towards finally come together, all fleets, races come together to start the final battle! Pitty we only saw a few seconds of the whole fight - and then 'that' ending which made it all for nothing...
Best game ever. I'm so glad to saw that magnificent trilogy in my life.
I would have sh*t myself had someone managed a prothean squadron and they were on a ship too.
This scene, the moment the Normandy appears with this amazing, simply amazing piece of music, followed by the hundreds if not thousands of ships from the various allied galactic forces, has got to be up there with the best moments in all of TV, film and gaming media. That's no exaggeration. The first time I saw this was a moment I will never forget. Forgetting the ending, the rest of ME3 was incredible.
This bit gave me goosebumps man
Imagine u hear uss enterprise reporting
Honestly, the trilogy should have ended at this point.
With a final statement: To continued.
So they can continue the MA story.
so many mass effect vs halo comment's. halo would win. unsc would beat the Alliance. and really why would you care about them attacking each other and them not helping each other.
Why the fuck does everyone forget disruptor torpedoes from swarming fighters. A single dreadnought supported by a single carrier would wipe the floor with any capital ship. Even the Infinity.

Commander Shepard: " This bond that ties us together is something the Reapers will never understand. It's more powerful than any weapon, stronger than any ship. It can't be taken or destroyed. The next few hours will decide the fate of everyone in the galaxy; every mother, every son, every un-born child. But take heart, look around you. You're not alone in this fight. We face our enemy together and together we will defeat them. "
if we're gonna use two different universes which each have different rules then im bringning in Warhammer 40k
No problem. If there are any other tracks you would like extended feel free to let me know.
I wouldn't be too sure about that. In terms of space combat, the UNSC could do quite a bit of damage with their MAC rounds, and the average Covenant ship is about the size of a Reaper capital ship, and each Covenant ship has pretty powerful plasma weaponry.
For example, a Covenant Super-Carrier is 29 kilometers in length, I'm pretty sure that could take on multiple Reapers.
However, in terms of ground combat, the Mass Effect universe would defeat Halo.
Not awesome. Unless you call Starfleet tearing the reapers up awesome. Reapers don't have any shielding against energy weapons, only kinetic barriers. Starfleet vessels have mutiphasic shields which can deflect attacks even when they are out of phase. Plus phasers will cut reapers in half without a problem. Add to that the Defiant fleet Starfleet formed, and it's gonna be one hell of a firework show.
Your telling me the tiny fleets of the alliance would destroy the UNSC fleet? The one that gets stationed at hundreds of planets with each major planet holding a dozen or so ships.
The UNSC fleet is like 20x the size of the alliance. Then the Covenant have had 500 ships in one area and had 300 attack a planet.
The alliance and Turians would be outmatched and outgunned, don't even get me started on Super carriers and the Infinity.
If you are gonna simply imply that the UNSC ship are impractical....why bother have the fight.....if you use both side to there universe believed propertys...the UNSC and the Alliance will fight until one wins......be it the more believable and technological Alliance ships or the Larger (Reapers a 2km .....UNSC frigates are 2km long....the Infinity 3 miles) and more heavily weaponized UNSC
Last I checked....a Reaper is one of the Biggest ships in the ME universe.....2km long....a Halcyon Class cruiser (Piller of Autumn) from the Halo universe is 3km long and the biggest UNSC ship (Infinity) in 3 and a half miles long.....the Normandy can fit in its main guns........that is gonna be a problem for Alliance....Plus...why would they even fight....UNSC and the Alliance are BOTH fighting for Earth......so....ya
Furthermore, once the main MAC cannon is gone, the ship is fairly useless. Slipspace doesn't exist in the ME universe, whilst negative mass allowing FTL travel should exist in the Halo universe (due to near-identical laws of physics), which means that not only would the ships be unable to shoot anything after one shot, the ships would then be unable to flee. The ships from the ME universe then come along and shot the UNSC ships to buggery.
And before you say anything about how the UNSC ships have larger slugs and higher speeds, the recoil on the UNSC ships would put SO MUCH strain on the ships IRL that they would be utterly demolished. You're firing nearly a third of a tonne to 119916983.2 meters a second. Stupidly fast, stupidly damaging, but it also means that their guns would be single shot before needing replacing. You can't launch something like that without the firer REALLY suffering.
Okay, I hate this argument as there are so many variables to be pointed out, but my money would be on Halo. The UNSC tends to use very very destructive weapons (as in a nuke that destroys a planet and its moon) and gigantic mass accelerator weapons. The Covenant literally chars planets over with massive plasma beams and has thousands of ships. You must admit that the sheer destructive potential of the Halo fleets is incredible. There are bad ass fleets on both sides, but in my opinion Halo wins.
We are the Borg, lower your shields and surrender your ships. Your technological and biological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.
It is simply a fact that you and your kind have trespassed, and thus invited extermination. Curse you for putting me to this inconvenience.
-Anrakyr the Traveller (Overlord to the Necron Legions)
Death Star prepared and at full power. Shields operational. Super star destroyer and star destroyers, launch the attack.
You forget that the Reapers failed to indoctrinate even half the Mass effect universe leaders. Shepard, Garus, Anderson, Liara, Tali all were out there kicking ass. Spartans would be less likely to be indoctrinated than most as would captains of starships.
Btw, this is actually quite an interesting though experiment, mainly because there is no right answer, it's completely subjective. :D
My favorite part of this scene is when the SR2 Normandy was heading towards the Earth followed by the entire galactic fleet a few seconds later. Shepard had come a long way from the prophetic soldier to an actual commander in chief of the milky way's galactic forces.
Jordi Wild
Very funny, The UNSC Battlegroups would completely fuck the Alliance and Turians up, The STRONGEST Mass Effect ship, Which is, to the best of my knowledge, An Everest class dreadnought is half as strong as the weakest UNSC ship, A scout, The only way the UNSC could be beaten by Mass Effect is if they do the same thing as they did for the Reapers, Unite everyone
I have, Favorite book by Wells is a rather obscure book called floor games. Buck rogers is to 'merica for me and Jules Verns Best book is the Journey to the Center of the Earth.
Please Don't call me a twat, Considering how i just mugged you Off.
I was referring to most recent Sci fi film and TV, Games are great, but only if they're believable.
Wasn't referring to the Terran empire from sad ass starcraft, referring from star trek.
Warhammer is just another fantasy, the only cool thing about it is the Adeptus Astartes, nothing else, and even they are based upon Teutonic and Templar Knights. I would cut you some slack but all sci fi is based upon star trek.
You are right there but where would the fun be for the reapers if they did that, they have thousands of ships so perhaps they thought they didn't need to do it and could just go in there and blow the crap out of everything. Yes i agree it's also nice to see someone who isn't going to moan at everyone of your posts and will actually have a conversation :)
Halo is a great game and so is Mass Effect but if you're really going to compare look at fleet size, the reapers have 2km ships that are fully functional AI which are self aware. They have been making these for over 37 million years, plus they shoot at near lightspeed and turn your troops into their troops.
Are you guys seriously trying argue across different stories literary tools? That's kinda pointless because anyone can just up another person. Ya a completed Death Star will kill everything in its path. How about Lexx? How about the Sun Crusher? How about the Borg or Species 8472?
Nukes aren't as effective as a 10 ton slug sped up to a fraction of the speed of light, also, the kinetic barriers on most ships would negate most of the effect a nuke's impact would have, making them kinda pointless, as the radioactive fallout wouldn't affect the airtight starship.
The UNSC have far less in terms of technology compared to the Alliance. I think the only thing the UNSC would have up against the Alliance that would be considered SUPERIOR is probably Spartans (I'm just gonna say Spartan-II) and FTL technology (slipspace and all)
Pffff, you're seriously putting the Reapers up against EVERY faction in the Haloverse? Yeah, no. You put them up against a single Forerunner Fortress-class ship and that entire fleet would be fucking stomped without barely a scratch on that ship. Hell, a Contender-class AI could fucking stomp them
All the factions?
So the Forerunner whose ships cannot be destroyed without some serious firepower, then you have the prometheans and flood (Which would destroy and assimilate reaper forces)
Then Super MAC and normal MAC cannons that would make the Reapers look like swiss cheese.
but you cant compare those games they are very different law wise and story wise plus ones a shooter where you follow the story of one guy that cant be changed and the other is an rpg were you make your own story through the choices you make but they are still both fantastic games in there own way
I meant the muarders/cannibals and the like, they are organic mash ups combined with some technology but still suitable to the flood.
As long as there is a whole body, a nervous system and sufficient Biomass it can be taken over.
The Reapers would just lol all over the flood - Flood wouldn't be able to do shit to the Reapers. And humanity? Covenant? They wouldn't stand a chance either, Covenant would probably be Reapers biggest challenge but still a cake walk really.
ima gonna nerd rage you when ima gonna say that the entire fleets of the imperium of man will butcher both the reapers + the turians + the alliance + the unsc + the covenant combined or maybe i'll throw in a single cairne class tombship :))
The Flood wouldn't be able to infect Reapers are synthetic not organic. However, because they are synthetic, the Flood could use Logic Plague which either defect them and serve the Flood or be completely destroyed.
and my necron tomb ships backed up by several world engines (huge death star like ships capable of obliterating entire planets) would gobble up the reapers, the UNSC, the covenant and the entire alliance+turian armada
its based upon me2 normandy theme but how much exactly?? it has the best part.
to think of it, we have Asari, Turian, Batarian, Quarian, Krogan, Elcor, Hanar, Geth.... and only 3 Mass Effect games. UNSC and Covenant make it 5 so far. Where is JUSTICE!!?? I WANT more ME...
Nobody watched Star Trek I, which was in fact critically panned. Star Trek II on the otherhand is a masterpiece. I was rubbish. But that's how Star Trek rolls, odd numbers=bad, even=good.
Not likely. A Reaper would have to indoctrinate a Gravemind and from what evidence shows, Gravemind consciousness is transcendent and the gravemind is more like a physical form.
The Normandy is one ship a frigate.
That would not make the fleet unstoppable. Nothing a Halo AI couldn't deal with to shut down it's defense suite and EDI would be totally outclassed.
Sorry but im gonna have to nerd rage on you the fleets of the turians and alliance would tear the UNSC and conevnant fleets so many ass holes they'd be mistaken for batarians
Mass Effect is the greatest thing ever i wish the world goverments would stop bombing each other and fund a real space program the Reapers could be out there and we need to get ready!
They (modders) should make a mod where the Normandy is a Everest class dreadnought.
Make a crossover fanfic with the Zorich universe.
European directory there has the Elzas-class battleships, and one of them might as well be called Normandy. 12 21,5" Skoda dual acceleration cannons, meters of armor plating, anti-laser shields, and it can also land on the ground, despite being 800 meters long.
NO
As cool as the scene looks, it makes no sense.
You remember how a relay works? Using a relay causes drift. You have a set arrival point, but you will never exactly reach it, you have room for error. The Omega 4 relay uses special protocols to reduce that drift.
Now for one ship that isn't a big deal.
Let's have a fleet all warp to the same location. Most of these ships will collide because of drift.
The UNSC fleet would fail against the Alliance or Turian fleet but the Covenants should win i think against of these 2 opponents but against both at the same time not.
They can win this. After all, the main purpose was to bring the whole galaxy united. Hacket is simply wrong and we'll see the effects of choosing refusal in ME4.
Not exactly. Reaper Kinetic Barriers were vulnerable to heat based weapons, such as Thanix Cannons. Halo Universe Plasma weapons would likely be highly effective.
Because in ME3 when you go talk to Udina he says that the first things the reapers went for are the satellites orbiting earth and the nuclear missile silos
