New Mass Effect 3 details out in the wild

The latest issue of Official Xbox Magazine is out and about, and a poster over on NeoGAF has conveniently summarised all the important bits of its Mass Effect 3 feature, so you save your money to buy sweets instead. Obviously, some minor spoilers are included:

You can jump and roll in the game, and blindfire has been introduced.
As well as gaining civilisation’s allegiance, you can lose them to the Reapers if you don’t play right, similarly to losing squadmates in the suicide mission.
Your weapons have three upgrade slots -scope, barrel and grip, and you can change the colour and camouflage of weapons.
Cerberus and Husks will be main enemies, and Cerberus is divided into three main types of troops – heavy bruisers, medium and light.
You may be able to get an eyepiece, like Garrus’s, that will allow non-sniper weapons to scope in further, which also hints at armour having more of an effect on gameplay.
Bioware is going to announce something big at E3 – a lot of the gameplay features and more squadmates.

Finally, the post also reveals one galaxy-class spoiler.

Don’t read any further if you don’t want to see it.

Seriously.

Last chance to back out.
