Forum:Mass Effect 3 Squadmate Numbers

I have heard that Bioware is going to be cutting down on the number of squadmates in ME3. Personally, I liked having plenty of squadmates in ME2. I think it made more sense for the mission that you were tasked with. It also seemed a bit more realistic, in my opinion. In ME, you basically went after the most dangerous man in the galaxy with: 1) a disgruntled C-Sec officer; 2) a bounty hunter you just happened to run into; 3) some random quarian with no proven combat capability other than what you saw in the alley where you found her, which to be honest wasn't even that big a fight; 4) and 5) your two actual Alliance military personnel; and last but not least, 6) an archaelogist who might be able to help you out with your hunt for the Conduit (though really I think it was more about keeping an eye on her, since she was the daughter of Saren's number 2). All of that is said in the realization that Shepard wasn't really SHEPARD yet, not yet having saved the galaxy and all, but come on. This is the best he could get? In ME2, you cull the all of the best in pretty much every relevant field to help you stop the Collectors. Now the Reapers are actually invading and the team is going to get smaller? What?
