what the crap? Reapers DO use shields, how the hell can you debate that? when you board the Derelict Reaper you get trapped because of the SHIELD, watch the Mass Effect 3 Trailer the Reapers are getting shot from tons of crap from the ground, nothing of which is touching it because of what looks like a SHIELD?
hundreds of Reapers, again what the hell? watch the Mass Effect 3 news broadcast trailer, the dude mentions THOUSANDS of Reapers above 'Europe', not hundreds, thousands! no bleeding 'faking' number or what not, the source is the OFFICIAL trailer.
Sovereigns weapon WILL be substantially more powerful than those used by the other races, the logic for this? the THANIX cannons on Normandy were only made thanks to studying the remains of Sovereign and work using the same concept except compared to Sovereigns gun they are tiny, tiny things and some shots are meant to be able to take out a Collector ship, which are fairly large. in the exact same way that a Gauss cannon on the back of a Warthog is the same technology as a MAC on a ship, which is more powerful? its the exact same argument! also the Codex states that the THANIX cannon accelerates its molten projectile to a 'fraction the speed of light', now 1% isn't really a fraction, well it is 1/100 but can't think of any time that fractions are used that way, that usually gets called percentage, also mention of 'relativistic velocities', take that as you like.
also how is it my own 'personal opinion' on how Sovereign was defeated? have you ever played the game? it goes from effortlessly annihilating the Alliance ships, like pest control whilst soaking up whatever they launch at it to unshielded, not firing and randomly falling from the tower and then the Alliance dudes proceed to say 'its SHIELD! is down...now is our chance...' again further making me think 'what the ****?' with the argument they have no shield? but yes, it goes from being fine one second to falling off the tower without shields the next, this seems to tie in with killing Saren. so again how can you doubt that killing the possessed corpse of Saren did something to Sovereign?
also afraid of a fight? don't forget Sovereign decided it was going to attack one of the heaviest defended stations in the Mass Effect universe and appeared to take no damage, also in the Mass Effect 3 trailer invading Earth suggest they aren't scared of a fight, since the humans seem incapable of damaging them! also wiped out the Protheans, which the Protheans were powerless to stop or even slow down by the sounds of things.
also another important point that is being 'conveniently' forgotten is the fact the Reapers don't just wipe things out, they harvest. now which takes longer, harvesting a crop field or flattening it with a daisy cutter? why would it take them so long to destroy the Protheans, maybe they weren't in any hurry? they do after-all seem to be almost eternal, like Sovereign says they have no beginning and no end, they just are. also what makes you think Sovereign was over-estimating Reaper numbers, what motive does it have? similar to the dude at the end of Cryptum saying 'I am the last Precursor...' what is so hard to understand about that?
finally nobody has made any calculations about Sovereign or the Reapers, how can you calculate something that isn't understood? there is no hard evidence to suggest what Sovereigns main weapon was capable of, its all based on what is known of the Reapers, their technological level and such. I find it damned right ignorant to accuse me of that sort of crap when you are doing the exact same bloody thing with the Forerunner, there is absolutely sweet bollocks to give much of an indications of how powerful their weapons are. just remember for a second that misinterpretation/assumption is the mother of all -blam!- ups!
post a link to reaper shielding the because with the dead reaper you get stuck in the mass effect field joker even states the field is up when you first go to it, and those are most likely the reaper improved version of kinetic fields or mass effect barriers. everything in mass effect is mass effect based which is why they don't have shields that compare to anything in halo and is why they can't stand up to halo. plasma would rip right through the fields and i doubt the fields could hold up against a mac round.
hahahah HAHAHAHA are you kidding me? the mass effect news broadcast was talking about thousands of ships massing up to fight the reapers, not saying the reapers have thousands of ships. not to mention if somebody were to count the number of reapers falling to earth it wouldn't even be 100. though i am not saying they don't have over 100 ships.
the molten slack isn't going to phase hard light, i don't know how shields would react to that, and i am sure the alloy of the UNSC ships would be hurt by it. +1 for you
Obviously i played the game since i corrected you. and i am completely fine with this fact now. this pretty much says that the reapers are no where near as advanced as cortana or any other UNSC AI if they can't multi task, he should have been able to control saren and attack at the same time. nor should it take his full attention to control a single turian.
yes they are afraid of a fight because they have been attacking races for eons by sneaking in the back door.
Before they were even aware they were under attack, the Prothean government was killed and all communications were severed. With the Citadel, the Reapers had control of the relay network, and soon isolated Prothean systems from one another. Worse, records on the Citadel provided the Reapers with access to all of the Protheans' census data and star charts, allowing them to effectively track every Prothean in the galaxy.
again i am fine with this fact seeing how this will probably be the first time in ages that the reapers directly fought a race and i am sure the game is going to have us win which proves my point. they can not survive a direct confrontation. put them up against the covenant (whose ships and power output dwarf reapers) and lets see what will happen.)
I don't think he was lieing i think he was figuratively speaking and that you are taking him too literally. the races in mass effect don't have really large fleets so it wouldn't be right for the reapers to have thousands of ships when they could only amuster a few hundred if one thousand.
And the prisoner could be taking credit for events that he couldn't control be speaking as if he does. much like somebody epically F****** you and them getting in a car accident later down the road with you saying (that is what you get). that is pretty much what is/could be going on. but an eternal being doesn't have a reason to lie given his circumstances, the same can not be said about the reapers.
we know the principles of mass effect greatly and the reapers are not going to be an exception since they created the technology. we also know the output for UNSC and covenant weapons, so if sovereign can get killed by a sub kilo missile than it is not going to be a long fight with mass effect.
We have clear examples,sizes, and demonstrations of forerunner technology. and roberto roughly calculated some of their output on this page, the forerunners are covered and they would kill mass effect. seriously, 1 fortress class ship would be enough with current information.
the reapers and covenant would be a decent fight (if in the haloverse) and the alliance and UNSC would be fairly "even" (in the haloverse). Mass effect races are greatly crippled by mass effect technology/laws which i posted in this thread.
