Just wondering but why London? why not america....
Because America is overused. America isn't the only country in the world.

But it is one of the strongest. I mean america is probably 10 times bigger then UK... big enough for a lot of reapers to attack, Plus Shepard doesn't have British accent
Are... Are you saying that a reaper is almost the size of England?
...Have you even actually -seen- England, it's kind of larger than several reapers.
Besides, have you never seen Doctor Who? Aliens attack England all the time, nothing new.
Oh yeah, as if America is the centre of the ******* world.
Personally, I thought it would have been good to go to 3 cities spread across the world of the three known countries of Earth in the alliance which are the United North American States, European Union and Chinese People's Federation (So... I can't remember which North American city we're going to be going to in ME3, but it has already been announced so we have a UNAS city. London, a European city, already done for the EU. What about the CPF? It would have been cool to go to a futuristic Beijing or Hong Kong, amirite?)
Also, I have not seen many other humans from different ethnic groups in ME, mainly American/British accented humans. Since this is a faction compromising humans which have come from across the entire planet of Earth, I want it to represent more of the other races/cultural backgrunds if you know what I mean. In most of the ME games so far, like I said, you mainly get American/British accented humans who are roughly 70% of the time white, which is actually pretty unbelievable because white people only make up 9 - 12% of the world's population today and is continuing to decrease due to rising numbers of births in India and Pakistan (China introduced the One Child Policy, their population is going to decrease very soon). Why not get some humans who have a Western African/Chinese/Spanish/German/Russian/Arabic accent? It would greatly improve the variety of humans in the game and make the Systems Alliance so much more believable because it would portray the it as a more "unified Earth", humans from around the world regardless of ethnicity helping their alliance for the "good of mankind".
Sorry, I meant "comprising", not compromising, lol.
Protheans have Jamaican Accents =o
You Sir, are WINNING!! As an AMERICAN I have waited ages for someone to say that!!! Thank you!!!
KEVLAR60442 i was waiting for 10 years for someone to actually say that. I am sick and tired of every Movie/TV Show/Game or any other type of entertainment always being placed in America. So all i can say is Touché...
And I'm an American patriot to the bone. But most Americans become total dicks when it comes to the world, and they think the rest of the countries are third world.
the reapers dont like tea so they invade Britian to destroy it ;P
Reapers aren't intrested in McDonalds, so America - you've got a lot of luck! Anyway I'm tired of all this stuff with America being the whole world.
'You forgot Poland!'
the game does take place in america though so shut up
P.S im british i belive what i say...... LET THE REAPERS ATTACK AMERICA THEN! I DONT CARE ;)
Javi, I recommend you read the "Ender's Game" series of books by Orson Scott Card. His concept of the future is very well thought out, but most importantly, he identifies that in an interplanetary society, nationalism takes a step back, and America becomes much, much less the superpower it is today.
Meh, i coulda cared less it didnt show a reaper over the white house (Independance Day ripoff i think they were trying to avoid.)
Would be cool though if they showed like footage of people with cameras in cities all around the world. Manhatten, London, Paris, Cairo, Beijing, etc. etc.
I dont feel neglected or apalled, but technically the world is the alliance, what better way to show earths unity than showing the reapers destroying everything at once rather than Reaper command stating, O lets get those british bastards.... they have had it too good for too long.
Plus one other note. Its funny watching Americans and Uk folks fighting over who gets to become a parking lot. This truely is a great world....
