I think this could potentially work and here are my ideas.

Story:
Mass Effect Multiplayer (MEM) would basically be a prequel to the entire
Mass Effect series and focuses on the war between the Protheans and the
Reapers. Despite us already knowing the outcome of it, the situations
would be similar to those in Gears of War Multiplayer (where we look at
the outcome of one battle at a time).

Customization:
Players would be able to create a multiplayer-only prothean character and would
be able to assign it a class, two weapons (usually), 2 Biotic/Tech
powers,  and 2 abilites. Below are my ideas for a few classes,
weapons/powers, and abilities.

classes:

Prothean Solider: An class that has the ability to carry an extra Weapon.

Prothean Biotic: A  class that has the ability to have an extra Power

Prothean Engineer: A class that has the ability to have an extra Upgrade

Powers:

Unlike in the main game, Tech and Biotic Powers would not recharge. Powers
would be  tied to a "Power Bar" and would give about 3 Power uses until
the player had to recharge at some sort of station. Powers could also
be charged up for greater power and effect but this will drain the
power bar even more.

Examples:

Incinerate: Ignites Opponents and temporarily stops health regeneration

Cryo Blast:heavily slows down enemy movement

Throw: Pick up objects and throw them at enemies

Tech Barrier: Spawns a small shield that can take a few hits before shattering (uses up 2/3 of the power bar)

Fortification: Increased resistance to heavy weapons.

Adrenaline Rush: "Locks" On to a specific oponent to assist with aiming (drains power bar quickly)

Sabotage: Temporarily decreases the opponent's primary weapon accuracy.

Push: sends enemies flying away from you.

Reverse Singularity: Use this power to jump extremely high

Sabotage: Scramble the enemy's radar.

Charge: Charge a short distance for a powerful melee attack. (uses 2/3 of the power bar)

Upgrades:

Upgrades are basically like perks, Some examples

Speed Upgrade: Increase movement/Storm Speed

Biotic Master: Increases the Power Bar to allow one more ability use before having to recharge.

Flashbang Grenade x3: Carry  Flashbang Grenades which blind opponents (can't be used with poison)

Poison Gas Grenade x3: Poison's opponents as long as they are in the cloud.

Scavenger: Pick up thermal clips from dead enemies (will not work on Grenades or Heavy Weapons)

Quick Respawn: Decreases the time limit for having to respawn

Quick Regeneration: decreases the delay before regenerating health.

Clear Focus: Prevents the screen from becoming bloody and red when at low health.

Unknown ID: Name does not appear above character.

Death Trap: Body explodes 3-5 seconds after death.

Game Modes:

A few examples of what I would like to see


Renegade: A basic Free For All Match

Hold the Line: Teams must capture various points and defend them for as long as possible.

Team Deathmatch: The standard type w/ respawns

Squad vs. Squad: A team deathmatch that consists of small 3 on 3 teams in smaller arenas.

Galactic War: Large Scale Team Deathmatch

Hardcore Teamdeath Match: Team Deathmatch w/ no respawns

Capture the Intel: A free for all type mode where players must capture a small
data upload device and hold it for as long as possible (until they are
killed). The longer the orb is held, the more points the player
recieves. The player with the most points at the end wins

Loyalty Mission: Each team has a leader who they must defend. As long as the
leader is alive the team can continue respawning, once the leader dies
they cannot. Who ever eliminates the other team first wins.

Suicide Mission: Essentially your horde mode of Mass Effect.

Sabotage: One team must plant bombs on certain objective locations. The other must defend these locations.


I'll add more ideas later, tell me what you think and lets discuss.

Note: I think shields in Multiplayer would give players a bit too much health. So I would leave that out.
Note: Multiplayer is a high possibility, heres the advert that EA posted for mass effect multiplayer

For a long time now and before the first game released, I liked the idea of integrating co-op campaign multiplayer into the existing game (or ME3 at this point), in the style of Resident Evil 5, and allowing a player to take on the role of one of your squadmates. Don't know if it's possible now being that it's so late in development of the series. RE5 also uses U3, but the engine is highly optimized in Mass Effect 1 and 2.

I like the idea of CO-OP but I believe it would make the game extremely easy, even on hardcore or insane. But what I really want to see is a multiplayer experience that has the depth of a game like COD or GOW

I don't think so. Squadmates would still be limited to the same weapons and abilities assigned to that character (i.e, Grunt, or Thane). It would be no different than a player that efficiently micromanages his/her squad. Who's to say the player joining the game is any good. Enemy numbers and intelligence can also be increased to compensate for the additional player, perhaps even taking into account the player's player data.

In response to your comment on game depth, adding co-op to the existing single player campaign would put this game far beyond any of that offered by CoD or GoW in terms of depth.

Not much to add to this discussion, because I'm agaist any multiplayer feature. It's waste or money and work power.

Tazz, put a sock in it. I was merely responding to the topic. We know this game is a single player RPG.

If ME3 worked like RE5 to acomodate for co-op then the game wouldn't pause while using the power or weapon wheel. This is not a good thing D=. Also there probably wouldn't be any dialogue trees and cut-scenes would have to be kept at a minimum to keep the action going, at least during missions :-/

Good point. Just sharing my thoughts on the subject of multiplayer. Not investing any more time in this thread. Can't even get through a single page without some bigot jerkoff pointing fingers.

Sorry to burst your bubble pal, But EA has been searching for a multiplayer programmer for the Mass Effect Series. There is a big chance we'll see multiplayer in ME3

Oh and anyway Permutation, I was merely mentioning that series like COD and GOW are games thaat can strive solely on their multiplayer experience. Imagine the sheer greatness of Mass Effect 3 if it has a crtically acclaimed single player experience and a multiplayer experience at the same level.

Heres one of the numerous articles that justifies my claim
http://www.eurogamer...ect-multiplayer

Look, this is bioware's last Mass Effect game and they would want to thrive as long as possible. Multiplayer is a big component in keeping a game alive and thus I believe that we will see it in ME3. Also EA is the deciding factor in this situation,  not a single dev from Bioware. If EA wants multiplayer then theyre damn sure to get multiplayer

It's not that I dont believe Chris Priestly, It's that EA posted a job advert for a multiplayer programmer for Mass Effect. If someone posts a job advert then it's usually pretty serious. Also there were numerous articles that said the same thing so I take it as reliable information.

Yup, denials aren't worth anything. If its not 100% then they deny. It doesn't mean its 0%, however. Meanwhile, a job posting means they are very likely looking at it. Or maybe its just a clever marketing gimmick.

Well I guess, but I believe that this is for Mass Effect 3. Why would Bioware give PS3 ME multiplayer and leave the original Xbox 360/PC fanbase out.
