Nothing besides the one rumour about 3 Earth maps and N7 humans as the new characters.

Glad to see some buffs for the drones, they never seem to do anything. Also happy to see my new secondary sniper rifle get a buff too. Arc pistol has always been a meh for me but it is damn accurate so I may try it out again.

There's an audio interview on the mass effect 3 page about the new DLC. As expected they downplay how they messed up the ending, but it sounds like they have put a lot of effort into band-aiding it. Will be interesting to see how my play affects other planets after the ending.

I'm looking forward to it. I can rationalize the ending with Indoctrination Theory but would rather just have a nice clear ending that doesn't need it to be good. Almost done another ME2 play through so will have a new Sheppard to go through 3 with. Really hope the final battle has more races involved in it directly now.
