Presumably the cloud is Reaper territory now, and a security risk. Earth is at stake here, people.<\/p>\n<p>According to the official notice over on EA&#8217;s support page:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>While Mass Effect 3 supports cloud saving for new or successfully imported Mass Effect 2 saves, it does not support the importation of endgame saves directly from the cloud. Additionally, this can cause it to not recognize save files that have been transferred via cloud to a console other than the one where they originated.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the following scenarios will result in no import functionality:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Moving your save file from the hard drive disc to the cloud.<\/li>\n<li>Moving your save file to another Xbox 360 system via the cloud (instead of a memory card, transfer cable or Xbox 360 formatted USB stick).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div>Solution to scenario 1:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Move your save file from the cloud back onto the hard drive from which it originated, i.e. the Xbox 360 you <em>originally <\/em>created the save file on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>Solution to scenario 2:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Move your save file from the cloud back onto the hard drive from which it originated, i.e. the Xbox 360 you <em>originally <\/em>created the save file on.<\/li>\n<li>Using a memory card, Xbox 360 formatted USB stick, or the Official Xbox 360 HDD transfer cable, transfer the save file to the new Xbox 360.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>They&#8217;ve missed an opportunity for DLC here. &#8220;In <em>No One Left Behind<\/em>, Commander Shepard and the Normandy crew must venture into uncharted territory to retrieve important data files.
