@Consoleds: I'm halfway through DA:O at the moment but I've heard about the army system. It would work really well I think in ME3, maybe even if Shepard directs the battle by giving different fleets different goals.

@Anonymous user: Using indoctrinated troops that were familiar to Shepard - if it was done in the right way - could be hugely moving. I agree that seeing Shepard going up against the Reapers alone would be quite fun ... although Bioware is going to have to cater for those people who literally have no allies (if they killed Wrex, destroyed the genophage cure, pissed off the Illusive Man, rejected the quarian help, etc).

@Setimir: Who knows? I don't think either of the 'infantry' for ME/ME2 will work again (i.e. using synthetic troops or using an indoctrinated army of Collectors) story-wise, people would get annoyed if Bioware randomly retconned a new species of Reaper thralls... I can only think that maybe Shepard fights 'somebody else' (Cerberus/Alliance) for most of the game and then finally the Reapers only at the very end...
