Mass Effect Battle for Earth
While i personally have a small grudge against FPS's, an Earth based one could be interesting. Ive brainstormed potential openings, and am looking for opinions.

Opening
You are creating an Account on N7 Code of Honor: Medal of Duty. You insert your name, gender, and appearance. Once your account is complete, a NewsFlash pop-up appears, interrupting your game. Emily Wong is describing the reaper attack on Earth. Your little brother/sister, (depending on your gender) appears and pulls the game out of your hands and asks if you saw the news. Your screen begins to shake, prompting brother/sister to ask if there is an earthquake. You look outside to see a reaper meteor-troop-transport-thingy land in the parking lot of your appartment complex. Mass Effect style dialoge options appear telling your sibling to get down while you go investigate.

Tutorial Phase
Upon steeping outside, you are tackled by Sgt. Ryan. Your local First Contact War veteran. He berates you for being out of cover and shows you husks attacking those unfortunate enough to be outside. You follow Ryan to his house across the street and he tells you to gear up. You have a few options here, as this marks the first phase of class creation. As Ryan begins opening his gun case, a husk breaks through the door. You have three choices: grab Ryan's Predator and shoot the husk, biotic shove the husk, or electrocute it with your omni-tool. Ryan appears suprised, and responds according to your choice. (Ex, well damn. Biotic huh?/Impressive reflex. More importantly, you didnt miss.) Ryan then offers you a gun. This will finalize your class. Being a nonmilitary fighter, you get only two powers. However, unlike Mass Effect, your powers increase with use like the Elder Scrolls series. The combinations are as follows:

If you chose the biotic option with the husk:

Take ryans pistol: throw, warp

Take ryans AR: lift, barrier

Take ryans sniper: stasis, shockwave

Take ryans SMG: pull, throw

Take ryans shotgun: barrier, shockwave

If you chose the tech option with the husk:

Take ryans pistol: overload, scanning VI

Take ryans AR: defense matrix, targeting VI

Take ryans sniper: sabotage, targeting VI

Take ryans SMG: AI hacking, overload

Take ryans shotgun: defense matrix, sabotage

If you chose the gun option with the husk:

Take ryans pistol: frag grenade, overload grenade

Take ryans AR: fortification, adrenaline rush

Take ryans sniper: incendiary grenade, adrenaline rush

Take ryans SMG: incendiary ammo, frag grenade

Take ryans shotgun: incendiary grenade, fortification

Whichever weapon you take will be your bread and butter for the game. You will have 4 weapons available at all times. Each linked to the d pad. Up is your standard, from ryan. Left is whatever melee weapon you have found other than the butt of your gun(omni-blade is a findable upgrade that removes your other melee) down is whatever weapon you scavenge from the  battlefield, and right is your bulky weapon. Ex, heavy weapons, medical supplies etc.

Prolouge Mission
Once you are armed, Ryan tells you that his old army buddies have a location where they are regrouping, and that anyone who can hold a gun is useful.

You have two options:

Go straight there with Ryan,

Or go home in an attempt to save your sibling.
