Mass Effect 3: The Extended Space Battle

An Extended Final Space Battle for Mass Effect 3. Using clips from the Game and DLC's and a Clip from Mass Effect 2. This is just a test and has some rough edges, I'm planning on making a longer one that will incorporate a complete happy ending

The Fleets Arrive - Mass Effect 3 OST
Protectors of the Earth - Two Steps from Hell
Heart of Courage - Two Steps From Hell
The Heavy Price of Victory - Company of Heroes OST
Peace at what cost - Company of heroes OST

every time i see this part of the game, it makes me wish that in the background, behind the fleets, comes the leviathan lol.

[@judahogbuehi3196]

All of a sudden a couple of reapers go limp and fall to earths surface. Then leviathan and his goons start "assuming control!!"

[@lokis2350]

the leviathan ???

[@Houmicek15]

I guess they are there if you have DLC with them

[@TheSlayer117]

No,there's only indirect involvement afaik

[@evandrodossantosdemoura6017]

Those artifacts you see in ME1, 2 and 3... That 'spheres', it's a kind of a tool that Leviathan uses to observe and exercise his power. On Leviathan DLC you see Leviathan pull down a Reaper through these artifacts. His fight is indirect...

Lord Proteus nah mass effect is ten billion times better than whatever starcintrol is

[@Phantom6.6.6]

It would be better as a series

[@Servellion]

Augh. I always find it annoying when entire battle fleets in space chose one specific plane and attack from it with very little deviation from it. Damn it, you're in space! You have a full sphere of motion to move in and yet here they line up and shoot at each other like it's the fucking Battle of Trafalgar!

[@Servellion]

They would still have that ability. Having them group up on the same plane just makes it easier for the enemy to retaliate

[@Kenttheclark]

EvilCleric yeah. imagine getting flanked from above and below.

[@Servellion]

Pretty much. Constricting yourself to one plane makes your fleet vulnerable from multiple angles and most ships don't have a full 360 field of fire. Hell most scifi ships are particularly vulnerable from below and behind.

[@Kenttheclark]

EvilCleric which is funny considering how orbital mechanics work. theres absolutely no need to keep facing forward once you get moving.

[@Servellion]

Kenttheclark Hell they could still fire those stupid spinal mounted guns going backwards if they just turned off the engines once they got up to speed. So even running away they can still bring the majority of their fire power to bear.

i am quite disappointed that most of the combined fleet's capital ships only have forward firing main guns

[@EricLidiak]

Mass Effect capital ships are like the UNSC ships from Halo. The big guns shoot forward because they have to. The 'main gun' of a dreadnaught is half to three-quarters the length of the ship, in order to accelerate the slug to the required velocity. So you can put a mass driver off to the side, but it's a lot less powerful.

[@Claymore_Chicken]

Eric Lidiak you have a point there, but these ships are big enough to hold large batteries of laser turrets or something, like on the Space Battleship Yamato. sssoooooo, yyeeahh. just an idea.

[@paulholland9531]

Plus, give humanity, at least, a break, when the final battle happened, according to the lore, human being were building capital ships of that size and power for, what, 50 years, at maximum?

[@cancelanime1507]

The ships are extremely maneuverable it shouldn’t be hard to turn around and fire in said direction

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

[@PlebeianKilo]

TomeOfBattle ... Why are you offering your opinion when you haven't even played let alone finished a single game? Granted, the ending of Mass Effect 3 was, horrible in the most epic way. The entire ride was AMAZING... the BEST build up I've seen in ANY trilogy. THIS was it, what you had been working up to for three games and a lot had happened along the way. You couldn't save everybody, but it got to this point. AND THEN BOOM FUCKING GREEN BLUE RED BITCHES. You don't know true anger till you've played the games. But, regardless of the last 5 minutes, that doesn't mean the rest of the game was bad. By all means, the entire journey more than made up for the last few minutes. Also, he asked about characters, visual, graphics, action, music, all things balders gate (a very good game, don't get me wrong) is lacking as it is completely different type of game.

One of the best and intense battle I’ve seen in years and the reapers have no chance

[@LostEpsilon]

I remember still getting chills when I first saw the cutscene.

[@g4tviscool]

It's funny how I first played Mass effect 3 and I still prefer the unedited fight battle scene where you can tell every race wasn't backing down and winning the fight. Hell I think the reapers were screwed and the ending still makes me scratch my head..

[@DarkSpyro707]

Not really, in the story of Mass Effect this was pretty much just another boring battle for the Reapers since they've done this a bunch of times now over the course of thousands of years. By the end of the battle you saw that most of the fleet was gone. If they were really confident that they cold beat the reapers conventionally, they wouldn't have wasted their time and valuable money with the Crucible. To solidify this fact if Shepard chooses to not pick Green, Blue, or Red and shoot the child you actually lose and the Reapers continue their genocide cycle. TL;DR, No, they weren't winning, at all.

[@jakewilliams6347]

DarkSpyro707 I think what she means is that if the game was expanded a little bit and a bit more effort was put into the end, there would have been a separate ending where the Crucible turned out to be a useless construction. In my games, I ALWAYS have over 6000 readiness, and with the way the beginning starts, the fleets are winning. That, and the other eras didn't have a damn Shepard.

[@Cylus1527]

DarkSpyro707 No, in every previous cycle the first thing the reapers did was take control of the citadel and hack the mass relays so they would only work for ships that the reapers approved. Then they would go to the now isolated systems and destroy them at their leisure. This was the first time the reapers were facing the full force of a united galaxy and I really hate how the developers don't give that fact any consideration.

[@jakewilliams6347]

+Landon Morrison That's very true.

[@TOONYBOY]

You know what would have been a great way to allow the galaxy to beat the Reaper's "conventionally"? If they had a plot/plan to infiltrate the Citadel and find a way to hack the relays and make it so the Reaper's can't use them. They could even have a race against time element which depending on your choices and successes ends up working in your favour, if a decent slice of the Reaper fleet were chasing a McGuffin of some kind then they could be preparing to use the relays, (establish that if they were successful and destroyed/captured Mcguffin, it would be really bad and you wouldn't get the best ending) If you manage to hack the relays in time then the Reaper's use the relays and get destroyed. Now the Reapers are cut off from their reinforcements and the Allied forces can pick them off a bit at a time. A way to make their conventional victory a bit more believable would be to remake ME2 a little and establish that the Council is trying everything to prepare for the Reaper's but their ships/technology simply aren't strong enough to be efficient in a battle since a single Reaper is capable of taking on dozens of ships on it's own, and their are potentially thousands of Reapers. They could say that there's not enough remaining of Sovereign to properly analyse the Reaper's shield tech and replicate it so they send Shepard out into Geth systems to try and retrieve what they know about the Reapers. This objective could have been bolstered/achieved by the resolution to the Geth/Quarian war with the Geth teaching the rest of the galaxy how to reinforce their ships with better shields and the Quarians teaching everyone their ability to make ship engines and weapons more conservative in their fuel/power usage, allowing them to both fire more powerful/faster shots while perform more complex manoeuvre's speeds without overheating their engines as well as reinforcing the Allied forces with their own ships. Each species in the game should have a genuine recognisable contribution to both the space battle and the ground battle, not just a piece of dialogue that says "this fleet is here" and some ship models that die in a cutscene and a number that says X amount of war assets. An example is what on earth did the Destiny Ascension contribute to the fight? It was there in the cutscene when the fleets showed up but what did it actually do?

[@larsvos4]

[@philipjensen2904]

[@UnworthyKing95]

So at the end it says Ashley died, but you can see Ashley when they all start to retreat.

[@mreboric8406]

I like how at the end they are all celebrating not realizing that most of them are going to starve to death because they are now trapped in the Sol system with only a ravaged earth to feed them all. After a few weeks they would start turning on one another and resorting to eating each other to survive. No matter what ending you get the outcome would still be this way.

[@happzy]

They are not trapped in the sol system, if anything they are trapped in the milky way. And if I'm not mistaken one of the endings in extended dlc shows mass relays rebuilt.

[@CrzyArcticSoldier]

Actually Sol system is IN Milky Way, and all other systems too

[@happzy]

***** yeah my bad, I had in mind Orion-Cygnus Arm I think

[@mreboric8406]

I am talking about the original endings not the stuff the released to make people happy.

[@squallo9]

In the mass effect universe the relays are used to travel to sectors of the galaxy that are hundreds or thousands of light years away. The ships still have FTL capabilities, but can travel only 12 to 15 lightyears a day. So they are not trapped in the Sol system and they can go to other near star systems, which surely have colonies or habitable planets. But for the ships of the other races they would have to travel decades for returning to their home planets

[@echodude1000]

[@DorianMichaelsIII]

TheSpateman I was about to ask...it seems that in more than one shot, the Geth and the Quarians are shooting at *each other*, rather than who they SHOULD be firing at, the Reapers (that, and the Geth Dreadnought is in the background in some shots, when, regardless of the outcome of the Geth-Quarian war, it should've been blown to hell and gone over Rannoch; though its implied that the Geth have as many dreadnoughts as the Turians, unbound as they are by the Treaty of Farixen--maybe the one over Rannoch was the only one they had in the area at the time).

[@johncleveland3924]

Well, that's completely up to you. The Mass Effect series is widely popular because it really puts you into the story, if you make the right choices then you can unite the races and possibly survive the war. If not then the entire galaxy is once again harvested by the Reapers and the cycle continues.

I tend to choose to control the Reapers. I didn't put all that effort into peace between the geth and quarians only to destroy the geth anyway, I'm not going to force a synthesis thing on everybody, and I'm not going to refuse to use the Crucible thus dooming EVERYONE to death.

[@asheer9114]

heh... Sovieregin class Enterprise (especially post Nemesis refit) would literally mop the floor with all Reapers and with help of the Scimicar class Warbird... poor Reapers wouldn't even known what hit them >:)

[@WUZLE]

Not necessarily. We saw in ME1 that Reaper motherships have very strong shields.

[@asheer9114]

WUZLE Problem is that Reaper Kinetic barriers are set to deflect physical projectiles not energy based weapons like photon torpedoes for example (actually aside of the Geth no ME civilizations (Reapers including) use energy based weapons as thier primary armament) so even ToS Connie with her phasers and torps could become true DeM in ME Universe because Trek shields could be modulated to deflect both physical and energy weapons.

[@edglass7964]

Really, the vast majority of Scifi navies could wipe the floor with ME ships (Reapers included), simply because Bioware's portrayal of space combat and FTL is more grounded in reality than many other franchises. Star Trek especially though, I think it's hinted on occasion that a well-armed starship is actually capable of rendering a planet uninhabitable. There's also the one-klilometer size limit for eezo-driven ships, which would put even the Reapers (2km) at a disadvantage against Halo-style vessels that are 5km or more.

[@saquist]

Ed Glass What's size got to do with it? A Galaxy Class ship has enough anti matter destroy earth 35 times over. The truth is all sci fi genre's limit fire power and tactics to WW II level of fighting between ships in visual range and fighter tactics.

[@WUZLE]

That is of course wrong. It takes an enormous amount of even antimatter to destroy a planet, far more than any Enterprise has carried. They could take out all major cities with photons right enough, but the Enterprise does not carry a trillion tons of antimatter, and that's about what it would take. Antimatter only yields about 42 megatons of explosive energy per kilogram, which is a lot, but not world ending.

[@WolffeMeisterGaming]

I was thinking that with the audio, I'm working on creating a much better version, this one was done in about 7 hours with no real planning involved.

[@WolffeMeisterGaming]

That wasn't intentional, It was merely because the footage was there and I was using it, though bearing in mind I do show numerous other ships being destroyed (Multiple alliance, turian and quarian) I'd say it was fairly balanced, though the geth clips tend to be closer together

[@guicaldo7164]

Why did you cut these scenes inside the cockpits or commando bridges of the ships? I´d like to see these "I´m hit" or "Attack!" or "Fire!"- talks and everything.

I'll try to find a few more scenes of Geth kicking ass in the next version of this video, also It will all be recorded in 1920x1080 resolution, so It will look good on bigger screens.

[@SuperMiner98]

Do reaper ships have any other armament at all apart from the giant-super-instadeath-total annihilation lasers? Because that seems like quite a weakness to me.

[@SHWZergling]

Just to be honest, I think that the quarian ships are of a a stupid design.... just my opinion.

[@pothos489]

yeah well, you can't be very picky when that's all you have :P

[@tarroes8797]

they are built more as houses then warships

[@SolarWindsRider]

Robert Fiske One thing about quarians I don't get. During 3 parts of the game Shepard visits dozens of uninhabited worlds with human-friendly environments (and it is implied there are dozens more). Still for so many years quarians haven't settled down on any of such planets, but keep traveling in old half-ruined ships constantly seeking for resources.

[@tarroes8797]

SolarWindsRider i think its because they want their homeworld back, and pride, or something, is keeping them from finding a new home

[@SolarWindsRider]

***** True, but they were not fighting back. They were flying across the galaxy in half-ruined fleet of ship for centuries, constantly having issues with resources and overpopulation. They planned to retake their homeworld one day, yes. But I think from any practical point of view it's better to establish temporary colony on a planet where you have room to expand and resources.

[@shirleyfogarty5765]

at the end when Normandy escaped destruction, did EDI die then or did she die when the blast hit Earth?

[@mattaffenit9898]

This here... _THIS_ is a galaxy at war. I have seen very few games, movies, shows - really settings in general attempt to convey the sheer scale of such a conflict. And far fewer succeed. For all its faults, this game is one of them. And for that I love it.

Okay, I will say this much: While a part of me has a tiny irritant with the rough edges of the vid, but I know damn well that you worked with what you had available Wolffe. While there are rough patches, this is far more realistic than what EA/Bioware assembled in the final space battle cutscene.

[@lovipoekimo176]

A single Shadow Mothership (Battlecrab) can slice its way through the entire Reaper armada.

[@WUZLE]

That's arguable. The slicer beam on the Reaper motherships looks powerful enough to damage even a Crab.

[@TheBenfm24]

WUZLE From what I've read, they shoot a form of liquid uranium at a fraction of the speed of light, which would cause nuclear fusion....If what i read was true, then the reaper beams should do way more damage than shown in the video.

TheBenfm24 Fission. Nuclear fusion requires more energy than is output from the process once you come to elements higher on the periodic table than iron. Even then, liquid uranium at "a fraction of the speed of light" would constitute a kinetic energy weapon.

I'm a huge fan of B5 myself, but I have to admit - Reapers are pretty tough. Shadow vessels are probably more maneuverable, but in terms of firepower Reapers are at least as good as any of the ancient races.

SolarWindsRider I was thinking the same. I will always wonder why people think B5 could go up against any one with Barriers, shields and FTL

i wish it had ended as cool as this...

[@WolffeMeisterGaming]

It's from the opening battle to retake omega, it consists of retired Alliance and Turian Cruisers (strangely the alliance cruisers look like the new ones) being controlled by aria's Mercs and Retinue. This video (/watch?v=6uTlxhTN0HA youtube wont allow for the full link) it in. The Shot in my video is reversed to keep a constant theme of the Relay and Shepards Fleet on the Right of the camera, and the Reapers and Earth on the left.

As much as i love this with a passion, having one set of music overlapping another hurt my ears, if it was just the soundtracks you put in and the SFX this would be perfect.

ARE THERE PLANS FOR A MASS EFFECT LIVE FILM ?.
