Mass Effect 3, obviously if you don't want spoilers don't enter here.

Ok, so Mass Effect 3 isn't out for a while yet but people are already speculating as to the story and the events because face it. Mass Effect has been one of the most important gaming series of the last 10 years, love it or hate it.

Importantly on IGN is the uploading of 2 screens from Mass Effect 3. One shows what looks to be a squad of Cerberus heavy troopers posing with the designation of CT5 on their armour. The other which is far more interesting apparently displays a scene from a gun battle depicting Shepherd in his N7 armour actually fighting against the Cerberus troopers.

Questions:

1) If Shepherd is fighing Cerberus the main question is why? He worked for them in the second (or with them, however you wish to take it) what could the Illusive man be after that he's willing to endanger the best hope of humanity he spent so much money restoring?

2) Armours what tend to designate their crew tend to be important in the Mass Effect games, most soldiers don't have a designation but N7 for the Normandy is one what is the mission of crew CT5?

My PS3 broke literally the day Mass Effect 2 was released (on the PS3 of course). Still want to know what all the fuss was about. I remember back when I played the first Mass Effect and thought it was pretty overrated. Still a vague interest in seeing how ME3 turns out like despite all this. If nothing else it'll have a stellar soundtrack which I can listen to.

Game Informer released a lot of information about Mass Effect 3 in their latest issue.
