coming from a devoted cod player. It will be crap if its anything like cod as it is today or for that matter ever. Mass Effect needs to keep its identity and not go for this cod trash which i am now sick of thanks to activision

You just strengthened my crumbling faith in humanity. Thank you.

I think a multi player spin off could work, but they have to make it unique. Keep it 3rd person like ME2 and use all the classes from ME2 with some balancing between them and it could be fun. I mean who wouldn't want to use the vanguard charge to smash their friends face in.



BUT the most important thing is, if this is true, it should have ZERO to do with the ME story. It has to be completely separate from the Sheppard part of the universe. Minor characters like Capt Anderson or some C-Sec people could be in there but no one from Sheppard's team can be in there.

I understand what you're saying eatchildren and I do play shooters, just not halo or cod.

TF2, H-L, Portal, KZ, Bioshock, DX, Systenshock and zillions more as well as third person shooters such as MGO, U2(multi) and well a billion other games, but I like ME for exactly what it is. I know that I am jumping here, but to be honest, the mention of cod by itself gets me mad, not only for the fear that it might be a clone, no, but because it's a game (rumor) that was mad from ground up, just for that fan base.

An example would be ea's new MOH (which I obviously didn't play either), now that game from the get go looked like crap and I didn't get what all the hype was all about, but then again it's the same case of hype with cod, the latest rockstar games (gta4 and red dead) and lots of others. I even looked up some vids to see what it all about and could believe what I saw, it was that sniping vid and I saw the guy shooting far away from the opponent's head and getting a head shot, with the opponent's head exploding. This in 2010, this and people only knew it was bad when the reviews kicked in. And what was that, ea wanting a piece of the cake of activision and that's exactly my fear.

Oh and that wasn't my point by mentioning barbie games, it was more sarcasm

Until Dec then.

If anything, it should be comforting to know that EA already have their 'Call of Duty' game in Medal of Honor, which while got very mixed reviews actually sold really quite well. They've also got the Bad Company series of games, and while I think Bad Company 2 appeals more to the Call of Duty gamer than staying true to the classic Battlefield formula (where's BF3 dice!!!), its still stands quite strongly on its own.

So even if a Mass Effect shooter were to 'appeal to the Call of Duty crowd', that doesn't mean it will be a generic Call of Duty clone, or even like Call of Duty. Bad Company 2 does many, many similar things to COD to 'appeal to the Call of Duty crowd', yet stands alone quite nicely. Killzone 2, a game you play and obviously enjoy, has plenty of similarities to the aspects of Call of Duty that make it appeal to that particular crowd, which again still standing on its own two feet.

You seem to have similar taste to myself (minus Killzone, which I dont really like, and I'm over BioShock), so I can totally understand your worries. I just think its a bit too early to jump the gun, especially when the 'catered to the Call of Duty market' comment is really just coming from Kotaku's report.

End of the day, if it is a multiplayer focused shooter, I'm confident it will be a game that BioWare wanted to make, and something they wanted to do in expandng the Mass Effect universe. I'm sure it will be accessible and streamlined to some respect, much like Call of Duty, but so was BioShock (compared to System) and I still really enjoyed it.

Then again, I'm probably still on a high from GoldenEye. I was so certain that would be generic, terrible Call of Duty clone, yet it was so far from it. Great stuff!

Not much to say, I have zero interested for multiplayer game. But it's good that they try different stuff, because we players also likes different stuff. I will be waiting for they single player games.

I've already posted here yesterday, but despite how much I hate the idea of a multiplayer ME this most likely isn't ME3. So at least it could divert any chances of multiplayer away from the trilogy.

Off topic



Yeah I know what you mean about kz as to be honest, I was disappointed with it after that e3 vid and all, plus there are a lot of things wrong with the game from both that excuse of a single player and the multi, thats not to mention the kids online, there' one in particular that I keep hearing shooting online with his baby voice and he takes the game way too seriously, overall it ok, its no valve game.



The whole MOH selling really good thing, that ea keep bragging about is worrying though, as to what does it mean when a game that has been criticized for being very bad and all, sell a lot. EA relied on pure hype and marketing. What I am saying is that a game like GTA4, which I was to me a gigantic disappointment, was hyped as hell and even got a 10 on ign (not that reviews matter all that much, all they do for me for the most part is give me an idea of what level is the game on), but this, a game that got very low scores for all it's hype, supposedly sold good. Thats not a good thing.

[EatChildren]

Thats just the nature of business, unfortunately. Sometimes good games sell badly, while bad games sell wonderfully. Clover are the poster child of a creative, high quality developer who unfortunately bombed in the sales department, despite their games all being really amazing.



I guess my point was that with Medal of Honor selling well, and Bad Company 2 doing well, EA dont really have any reason to push another Call of Duty clone out the door. I'd guarenty the Call of Duty market would be targetted by a Mass Effect shooter, but I also think it could do plenty to seperate itself from the pack, especially being a sci-fi of the highest order as opposed to the nitty gritty oo-rah war crap we already have.



Not much any of us can do other than wait. Fingers crossed!



PS: Dont get me started on GTA4. Sooo disappointing.

[Kurt Cobain]

I hope they leave it to a spinn off. DON'T let is influence the RPG elements of ME3

GEE, YA THINK??!!!

Just kidding, I think you're absolutely right, of course, but that won't stop the BBCS (Bio Board Complain Squad) from doing what they do best.

i dont understand why so many of you guys are so butt hurt. yeah it s a spin off, but its being done by a different bioware studio and WILL NOT affect the mass effect 3 development, production, or timeline. calm down and let bioware try new things

Back in the day I really wanted a Starcraft Battlefront deal.



Which is apparently what they were trying to do with Ghost that got it delayed and canceled.

I was about to post the same thing!

I don't have any of 'dem fancy phone thingies, so let's wait until someone figures it out.

Already done.

So..  Hmmm.. How do these start to add up now..

Well, can't think of anything to relate ME to that.

Might still be hope for it to be a totally new IP.

k not blowing money for a posfps.

[Fiery Phoenix]

Would these images read something if we were to put them together?

[MachineMaiden]

But then what about the video. With his armor and gun? I don't think they would use the same rifle in a new IP, that's what makes me still keep with a Mass Effect spin-off. Although with the new hint in what aspect of a spin-off I'm baffled.

Maybe thats the point. If they throw us off so much there will be so much speculation. Then we'll all watch the VGAs to see the announcement and go "YES!!! I was right!!!", or "Dammit, I knew it was too good to be a x game to be true". I had no interest in watching before, but now I have have all night December 11th cleared.

I mean, that is the whole point of a teaser. To make us watch the VGAs, so it can get more ratings

On another note, it just struck me that if this is Mass Effect related, that could very well be Elysium or Torfan. I personally want Shepard background DLC/expansion pack, and think it would be awesome. Its a longshot, but hey, a guy can dream can't he

SIS = MI6. James Bond worked for MI6, Goldeneye is a classic FPS with multiplayer. Or am I overreaching? (probably).
