I will know if you read this post.

First off, I hate multiplayer like Call of Honor: Medal of Duty. I hate competitive multiplayer in all its incarnations. I had some fun with Halo Reach but only on large maps with scoped weapons because that is my playstyle.

I do however love Co-Op. I have played hundreds of hours of Halo with my little sister and enjoyed Borderlands with my brother. I am looking forward to playing Portal 2 with him.

What I want to know is if the community really would HATE the inclusion of Co-Op, not competitive multiplayer, in ME3. If you could have a friend play as Garrus, Tali, Wrex, Ashley/Kaidan, or one of the other characters and remain SILENT would you really HATE that?

If you could have a friend man one of their sets of powers to help you avoid using AI squadmates that suck would it really be that bad for you?

It would hamper gameplay due to the necessary mechanical and leveling overhaul. Squadmates at present suffer a substantial damage reduction, are not as capable defensively, have larger cooldowns, restricted power sets and are all around completely inferior to Shepard; the exception being the glitched Incisor rifle, which increases their damage output. Zaeed also deals enormous damage for a squadmate when wielding the Mattock and teamed with Miranda, but I digress.

Therefore alternations would need to be made for the second player to have a equally enjoyable experience, at least in combat. This would entail increased damage and perhaps an additional power unique to the character. Evidently, Ammo Powers would not be held in consideration since they are not your idealistic "cool" power for a human controlled character. Next enemies would require a significant increase, nigh triple the present amount to compensate for more efficient opposition in both powers and human intelligence. This would require larger levels to house the enemies and limit overall mission interaction since an open battlefield means vast plains of nothing after combat. Prepare to run frequently.

If none of these changes were made then you might as well not bother since player one will kill steal virtually everything and you will essentially amount to a slightly superior distraction. This does not scratch upon regular story interaction, where a second player would sit silently whilst the first player controls all aspects of the game.

So with this all in mind. No, I have no interest in a multiplayer competent of any kind, be it co-op or otherwise.

I can literally do all that in about ten minutes. It's all in the Coalesced.ini file. I can boot up Notepad++, change 15-20 variables and bam, done.

[Captain Crash]

Ok you go create that in 10 minutes then...  Let us know how epic your new gaming experience is.  


If you think adding something like is easy your deluding yourself.   Making it so its not a boring and mediocre experience is quite a challenge.  One I really hope they dont take up because I cant see it being anything better then mediocre.

[Nathan Redgrave]

It would require some significant changes to how weapon changing and skill use are handled, as obviously you can't pause during multiplayer. Honestly, I don't think Mass Effect can really be adapted to multiplayer, but if they got creative with it--like Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood did with its own gameplay--it could work, somewhat. Not much more you can do with an action/shooter multiplayer game that hasn't already been done, though, so it might be better for them to just focus their resources on improving what Mass Effect already does well--single-player story-based RPG/action hybrid gameplay.

[Doctor Solus]

I would say no.

[Shepard needs a Vacation]

i would also say NO

[Volus Warlord]

Multiplayer will eventually make it into the ME universe, but I do not think that ME3 is the time or the place. ME and ME2 were both single players, and their fanbase wants more single player. I also love co-op, but you'd have to do some tearing down to get it to fit in ME3.

Multiplayer in ME : Now -no. Later-maybe.

[Labrev]

Hells freaking yeah!!!

The triology would be finished but I'd still be able to keep playing. Also sounds awesome to play as someone else or face other enemies with my own Shep. It'd just be awesome, on lots of levels.

They should have it on another disc though, maybe. So it doesn't interfere with the game.

[Anacronian Stryx]

I would Sten it.

[Tazzmission]

seriously more of these threads? like i stated before NO MULTIPLAYER IN MASS EFFECT 3 BUT I WOULDNT MIND IT IN A SPIN OFF

[Clonedzero]

multiplayer doesnt work in a dialogue rich story-heavy game.

[Babli]

If ME 3 will have multiplayer/co-op, I wont buy it. Thats what I say to it.

[Lotto]

**** no

[Cipher1989]

[JRCHOharry]

I'd sigh, shake my head in disbelief, then logout.

[Gentleman Moogle]

I would say "no."

If pressed, I would say "No, and get the hell off my lawn."

[Ramirez Wolfen]

I would say no only because resources spent on multiplayer could be spent on the single player and making it better. I do, though, would like a multiplayer Mass Effect game, just not ME3.

Co-op would be fine, but I really would put that in another ME game.

They could just make the companions fully powered when controlled by humans, and scale up the enemies based on how many people are playing.
