Re: Mass Effect 3 Destroy ending and shepard lives

i dont think i'm confusing them,

my total military strength is 5500 yes

but i have played the multiplayer, so i have 100% galactic readiness which also results in EMS being my total military strength isnt it?

without galactic readiness i have around 2700 or so yes, but thats why i did the multiplayer so i got 100% readiness, yet im not having the cutscene's im aiming for

*edit* yes i'm sure, i have been playing multiplayer specificly for that, right now its at 99% cos it lowers a few % each day and im unable to play it atm, something with the servers

Strange. Sometimes, GaW fails during my Single Player game and therefore I only get the 50% GR and no War Assets from Promotions in the Multiplayer, maybe that's what happened to you. Have you tried reloading or replaying from the attack on Cerberus Headquarters? I don't know if it only registers the GaW before the attack on the Illusive Man's base, so maybe if you load a savegame from during or after the attack it doesn't register this anymore.

I have been thinking that aswell, i first did the cerberus HQ mission, i stopped playing for a while, came back and instantly started doing MP to get the galactic readiness, and then did the 2nd part which is the mission on Earth.
I was planning on playing again from scratch, got some new DLC's for my mass effect 2 guy, so am going too do those first, then import my save game again and start over, i was asking this however, so i could be sure i would have the ending i'm aiming for, and if i was doing something wrong or not.
So right before i start the mission for the assault on cerberus HQ in my new playthrough i should make sure to have 100% GR too see if that solves it?

Yep, usually, that's the point of no return, so I'd make sure you then have 100% (or anything that gives you over 3400 EMS rating at least). I'm not sure if any save beyond that takes other GR-ratings into account. There are some nice references to the ME2 DLCs, especially Kasumi or Overlord, plus they give some War Assets on top, so it's best you do the ME2 DLCs first, right. Have fun!
