EA announces this is an N7 Challenge weekend for Mass Effect 3, offering the chance to earn rewards in the action/RPG sequel. Here's what's happening in the Windows and Xbox 360 editions of the game between now and Monday at 8:00 am EDT:

Operation Goliath

Any player who is part of a squad that beats the Reaper faction on Silver difficulty or better will unlock one Commendation Pack. This means that at least one member of the squad must be extracted at the end of the mission – this will earn all squad members the reward. Each player can earn a maximum of one pack and each pack contains a random N7 Arsenal Weapon. Originally only available as single-player weapons via the N7 Collector’s Edition, these multiplayer variants will be exceptionally rare and are NOT obtainable through regular purchasable Reinforcement Packs. The Commendation Packs will contain one of the following guns at random: (1) N7 Crusader Shotgun, (2) N7 Eagle Pistol, (3) N7 Hurricane SMG and (4) N7 Valiant Sniper Rifle.

Destroy as many brutes as possible – if the multiplayer community kills a combined 1 MILLION brutes within the hours of the challenge, ALL players will receive a Victory Pack as a reward.

Saren, before being declared rogue before you leave the Citadel the first time, could have gotten onto the Citadel anytime he wanted, sure. Afterward it would have been much more difficult. But it wasn't just Saren. It was Saren and an army of Geth. They really did need the conduit for that, so they could strike out of nowhere at the heart of the Citadel, and come out right by the Citadel Tower in the presidium. You could argue that Saren was already controlled by Sovereign and could have done this all beforehand, but it's possible that Sovereign didn't want to risk it's investment in Saren and wanted to ensure it had other loyal forces present.
