* [[Crapsack World|Crapsack Galaxy]]: Reaper invasions will ruin anyone's day, and [[It Got Worse|it is only gonna get worse]].

* [[Critical Status Buff]]: In the main campaign, losing your shields will give you a few seconds of [[Adrenaline Time]].

Downloading the ''ME3'' demo will unlock N7 Armour & completing it will unlock Omniblade daggers.

* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]:

** The Reapers vs. Earth. According to the Codex entry "The Fall of Earth", the Reapers conquer the planet in a matter of ''hours''. While escaping Earth, players will see that the previously enormous fleet that was gathered in orbit around Earth has been completely devastated, and we later learn that Arcturus Station (the Systems Alliances' capital) was destroyed, along with the ''entire'' Second Fleet. Many of the battles that directly involve Reapers turn into this. The turians are suffering massive casualties despite having the most powerful military in the galaxy. Thessia, home of the asari, falls.
