I totally blame Casey Hudson for this. The lead writer actually admitted that he wanted to answer all the questions, something like having a longer conversation with the catalyst about its origin and reapers as well. But, read carefully, Mr. Casey Hudson (that a$$!!) forced the lead writer guy to trim off lots of parts of the conversation to keep the fans and gamers under speculation, and making their own versions of the endings.
Thats pretty cheap imo. All this time they kept on hyping up the game that Mass Effect 3 is a closure, everything is going to be cleared. But all they left was more questions. I haven't played any other Bioware games but this seems like a biggest failure, not just on a PR level, but on the development side as well. I finished the game pretty fast, at 50% galactic readiness, thinking that I would replay the game, explore every possible place and a 100% galactic readiness. But whats the point? all the three endings are the same with a few colored explosions.
Some parts were too stupid, like blowing up the mass relays destroys a lot of space around them and eventually wiping out every single species. And your squad mates escaping out alive with the normandy, when they were supposed to be on the battlefield fighting with shepard, even if its your romance option, heck what was going on bioware's mind!? seriously wtf?
I absolutely hate this game now and lost all my respect on bioware.

Bioware should learn from RPG developers like Bethsda and CDProjekt.

Yeah, but lets say for argument's sake:
This destruction is different, sort of like an EMP, so no cataclysmic damage but even then it does not satisfy me, all endings refer to the destruction of the universe
They removed miranda and introduced Ashley teh duckface, she is ugly, can't fight for $hit(mirandas biotic powers were lot more useful), and last but not least, she is way less cool than the bad@$$ miranda was, so that's also another blow to me. Also note, you can raise galactic readiness only by playing MP, in SP its stuck to 50%, another way Bioware is screwing us, they are forcing us to play the co op MP

@Tkin, Nope, the online co-op is not mandatory to get the galactic readiness to 100%.
Some lead guy from Bioware confirmed it. The online co-op will help, but if you play the single player completely, play every single mission, explore possible every part in the game, its possible to achieve the 100% galactic readiness.
If you prefer to play a normal single player campaign, you can try the online co-op or the iOS mass effect game as well, which will help you fill the readiness

Would like to know if these are your theories or did you just quote someone else?

Nope! That wasn't what I found. I played every single side mission. Galaxy Exploration is 100%. But still galactic readiness is 50%. All it did was to increase my total troops which went well over 17k, so EMS was above 8k.@Tkin, Nope, the online co-op is not mandatory to get the galactic readiness to 100%.

If you play co-op it will help you gain more galactic readiness but troops would be the same.

Let me be sure by loading up the last save and taking the screenshot..@Sameer : are u sure about 17K figure, Although I am not a completion freak but still I like to finish most parts of any game I start.
In mass effect 3 also I did almost all the missions and total MS I got was around 6.8K something.
EDIT-> Yep, my bad. You were right. Mine total is also 7k something. I must have been confused by something else.

Err you are confusing galactic readiness with effective military strength. Galactic readiness can only be attained 100% by playing multiplayer otherwise it will just stay constant 50-55%. Effective military strength is the thing that can be attained by what you have explained.

Hi Guys... Just started Mass Effect 3 yesterday.. with the first of my 2 saved games - import of female Shepard...
Small doubt. It probably has been discussed here, but i dont want to read through it cause of chance of spoilers
I had selected Anderson as councilor in Mass Effect and it was so in Mass Effect 2, but with same save game, how the heck did Udina become councilor? and Anderson an... ambassador or something? or did i mess something?

Nope, max assets will be around 8k, if you did everything right in last two games and in this game as well, also readiness in SP will be stuck to 50%, so 4k assets during final push, enough to see all the endings.@Tkin, Nope, the online co-op is not mandatory to get the galactic readiness to 100%.

^^ I had the same case as you. Udina is ambassador because Anderson stepped out in between events of ME2 and ME3. Anderson preferred military life, so he jumped out at the first chance. There is a character in ME3 which you will meet and is related to Anderson.
Between ME2 and ME3, events occurred in graphic novel called - Mass Effect: Retribution. Followed by - Mass Effect: Deception and Mass Effect: Conviction.
Results of the events caused Anderson to step out.
