Mecha you’re out of your MIND. 

That being said, I was not impressed by the demo.  The good elements, like those RPG ones -which are still gone- (Bioware claimed more options, but it seems just like ME2’s wretched offerings to me) and crappy storytelling (convince the council again…AGAIN….after a Reaper showed up and wrecked the citadel… are you fucking kidding me?) were taken away for “intense action” which actually happens to be quite stale, sticky and cumbersome. The combat is what I’ve liked the least about ME, and they’ve gone and made it even worse. It’s almost impossible to get out of cover too, wtf is up with that? And the thermal clip shit is just fucking retarded. I put up with that enough in ME2, I figured they’d throw in a better system *ahem Mass Effect 1’s* but alas.

I guess I wasted countless hours on the 1st and 2nd titles.  Of course, I’d totally buy it for a free BF3. I need a new coaster set, and ME3 would fit in just lovely, unless EA is screwing around with us and gave us this gag demo. Doubtful if I’ll ever play the final release unless it happens to smash through my roof.

Upper atmosphere, not out of the atmosphere, so no worry about burning up.  If anything, that thing is going to be cold up there.

If it is anything like the viral videos, it’ll be encased in something to take the blow and might even have a safety chute.
