The thing is Miranda has to come back in ME3 as a full time/permanent squad mate, for me that is the 1 thing that is non negotiatable about ME3 for me, it would literally be a deal breaker for me if she were relagated to just a cameo or if she was just a temp squad mate.
I agree that a cameo would be a deal breaker, but I'm of two minds regarding permanent team member status. For she has a better chance of being important to the plot if she's not always present. Shepard's permanent team members are, in a way, always relegated to the role of followers. I would like Miranda to have an influence on the plot independent from Shepard's, and that means she must have the opportunity to do things independently from him, which in turn means she must be away from the team for some time.
So, if she is to become really important to the plot, for instance in a way that one of the possible solutions to the Reaper threat cannot be implemented without her, then I would actually prefer her not being always on the team if that is the price I must pay for her being more important.
Having said that, a cameo or even a one-mission temporary team member status is not acceptable, since that would preclude her from having enough interaction to establish a satisfactory presence. Enough interaction with her, for me that's the primary requirement.
Bioware can take all thier talk about weapon modding, swat turns, larger envirmoments, etc and just shove it, I really don't care about any of the so cold improvement that ME3 is going to have over ME2 if I can't have Miranda with me in ME3. The Horizon scene in ME2 has taught me to hate and fear cameo appearances, I can not trust Bioware to do an adequte job with Miranda if she is just on the screen for a few minutes or if she is just around for 1 mission.
They're doing some impressive things from the information we were getting, but you're right. Appreciating the gameplay improvements is contingent on having enough of Miranda in the game.
