Ah my bad, wrong thread ^^;

But yeah, why do you think Big Ben is dead when laser didn't hit the tower on screen? It could have been shot behind the tower.

Much like the White House and the Effiel Tower, Big Ben is one of those landmarks that always seems to get screwed over in fiction with aliens and/or catastrophes.

Well why not? Nothing says disaster more than seeing an historical and/or famous landmark destroyed.

I for one am glad that it's London that's getting destroyed this time around instead of Tokyo or New York or San Francisco.

Ditto. Destroying those cities is a cliche now. Though I expect we'll be seeing their destruction in the final game regardless. If we're lucky the Reapers will destroy something original like Beijing or something.

Huh. I just noticed that Shep still has his cybernetic scars in that trailer.

[up][up][up][up]Naturally, Doctor Who was destroying Big Ben before it was cool.

Don't worry, we're sad for Big Ben too.

Why does everyone think he's dead? I didn't see him get shot or anything.

Watch the trailer again; while it doesn't show Big Ben*

get hit on-screen, you can see a laser moving right towards it as the camera pans.

The problem there is that Big Ben did not get blown to bits.

Also, the Reapers were not destroying the greatest city in the world. I can't imagine where you would get that idea. I mean, Venice wasn't even in that video.

Maybe he remembered to dive out and press space?

Wait... wrong game.

Does it really matter whether or not the random soldier in the trailer who probably wont be in the game dies?

I have a podcast! I think that you should listen to it.
