Think about what you're saying - if a different team is handling the MP with their own time and resources, how the hell does that take away from the time and resources of the SP team?

It's not like they split the SP team in half to work on MP, they gave the task to a different group of people.

Because rather focusing on multiplayer they should use that team for SP aswell.
I rather have them doing extra polishing and puting more work on RPG elements, then use the time to spent on multiplayer. Also Mass Effect never had any multiplayer it you seriously think they can do it in less then 9 months then you are wrong.

The team that's working on ME3 is the same team - more or less, I'd imagine - that worked on ME3. They were enough to make ME2, they'll be enough to make ME3. Throwing Montreal into the mix won't automatically make the game any better.

Who cares?
Im still agianst it.
Mass Effect (1,2,3) franchise is suppost to be single player story experience around Commander Shepard.
Both first games didnt require multiplayer or co-op. Why should this one require it?  Don't change something that isn't broken. Oh wait they must put it in because EA wants to appeal to FPS crowd rather then RPG crowd.

Yeah, well, apparently Bioware, god love 'em, want to drag this one out as long as possible, rather than just actually saying "Yeah there's an MP component, get over it!", or "For the last time, there's no MP, now shut up!"which seems bizarre to me. They're intentionally avoiding the issue, which just seems counterproductive, as there are only two possible outcomes here:

1) They do have MP, and they announce it later. Anyone who is pissed-off now will still be pissed-off then!

2) They later clarify that they don't have MP, and anyone who is excited now will be disappointed (including me).

I think the only possible reasons to hold back on the MP announcement are if they do have it, and it's in some way limited - i.e.

A) You can only play it via Origin. Like you have to set up and use Origin to play it, and they're afraid that will upset people because Origin is still new and scary.

or

 It's DLC, and they want to pretend that they didn't start working on it until ME3 was "finished", which is damn silly, because who'd even believe them, and really who even cares any more?

or

C) Are working their arses off on trying to make it work, but aren't sure yet if it will make the cut into the game...

Gee, where have I seen this before...oh wait *looks at own post history*.

I knew I couldn't be the only one that came to this conclusion.

There've been rumors about Mass Effect getting multiplayer components added for quite some time now.

DA2 however didn't have a multiplayer component.
Modern Warfare 2 has a cooperative multiplayer component - which is not integrated into their singleplayer campagin.

Personally I'm not worried at all that you'd see a compromised singleplayer campaign, if they'd add in multiplayer.

....Do you realize how short CoD campaigns are? You can do the whole thing in a couple hours.

DO. NOT. WANT.

Because it was undrinkable. Nobody bought it. 

But the vast majority of people are either neutral to the idea of multiplayer or welcome it. The only people who seriously see it as a straight negative are the sort of people who would come to a message board to complain about - a very small percentage.

Lol. Just take a look around these mp threads. It's not welcome.

Don't know why people would get upset over ADDING another feature. Seems silly, and stubborn to me. If there is multiplayer cool; if not, no biggie. The continuation of the Sheppard story is my main investment in this game. But I'm welcome to more content.

Fair enough. My issue is why should I buy something that I'm not gonna use. I'm against MP being attached to ME3 but I don't care if it is something that is DLC or on a separate disc. 

There are valid reasons for people not wanting MP in a SP focused game. Looking at he recent history SP almost always takes a backseat to MP. There are exceptions (GTA 4, RDR) but more often that not SP suffers.

=Takes the dead horse away= The truth is we wont know the real story till a few months befgore the games released.

She basically repeated what Casey Hudson said then I mean come on here doesn't anyone find it strange that we cannot get a simple "no" out of them ?  I mean if there is no mp in Mass Effect 3 then it shouldn't be too problematic to go "no there is no MP".  The fact that they keep answering the MP question with vague non-specific answers is pretty much an answer in its self.

Well, that response doesn't actually rule out multitplayer as its carefully worded. And if people really think implementing multiplayer or co-op won't divert resources from single player development, they are high. Since EA is so hell bent on taking down Call of Duty, I wouldn't doubt that's what we'll get.

Any betson how long tiill this gets locked?

[JetsoverEverything]

Why not ask the Montreal team?

If this really turns out to be true than that's one customer Bioware just  lost for good.

"we are focussed on single player"



Brilliant! 

No denial.

No confirmation.

No closure for us!!!

[CrimsonNephilim]

Pretty much. Guessing we're not going to get a definite Yes or No until the release date is closer.

Yrah but using mass effecgt to bring down CoD will be a huge mistake.

The mod who was locking all the threads got fed up with the sheer number of them flooding the forum and called it quits.

Lol I have a slight suspicion he wants an answer as much as the rest of us, and may hope that leaving this open will 'force' a response from BW.

Just speculation on my part of course

They're not denying. Seriously, for me it's like a confirmation. My excitement for ME3 from 11 during E3 is like on 7 now.

DLC (I'm gonna be careful now as I don't want the destruction of the world for now)

Multiplayer...
What's next EA?
I'll always give the benefit of the doubt, maybe this could be the best game ever. Terrific end to the trilogy and solid fun multiplayer, but I don't think this is suited for the trilogy, not even the best moment for ME multiplayer. Is it correct to think that this is what that new studio was doing so far? If so, why Casey denied ME3 mp in Game Informer?
Oh god, I wished we were in 2012 already.

Actually,  the vast majority of people have no interest in Multiplayer,  especially once you get out of the FPS genre.  Primarily because every multiplayer game will result in the following,  all seen within 10 minutes...

-Someone dropping connection as soon as things get started.
-Someone cursing like a 13 year old on mountain dew,  who probably is a 13 year old on mountain dew.
-This person will also be highly racist,  and talk about women like a wife beater.
-Someone who'll be trying very hard to grief everyone else.
-Someone being accused of cheating because he's winning.
-It'll turn out he was cheating a little bit later,  he'll then join the Grieffer in trying to ruin the game for everyone else.
-Finally ending with someone rage quitting,  with profanity significant enough to make the 13 year old blush.

Multiplayer's *always* had huge roadblocks against wide adoption,  and it's the other people that are the cause of it.  There's a reason why most X-box Live people have a Silver Subscription,  and it's not because they desperately want to play multiplayer games,  it's because it's seriously not worth the hassal because people can't act right.

There's a reason why they're adding Multiplayer to ME3,  and I'll guarantee you they're adding it.  EA uses Multiplayer as a way to force people who bought used copies to pay them a fee to access multiplayer options.  EA wants the money from people who buy used,  so they're going to add multiplayer to every single game in order to try and get money from the used game market.

There is no multiplayer, and there is no horde/wave mode that people keep saying. Its just to confuse people about what the game is going to have, but its not going to happen.

Too many variable and options to consider. Do the added players play as teammates, or as a their Sheperad but as a mercenary. If they were going to introduce multiplayer, it would have been in Mass Effect 2. There not going to waste time and space to start a multiplayer system that is going to have many flaws.
If it was in ME2, it would be in ME3 where they could have seen what worked and what didn't and improved on, but they can't since its the last in the series, so I will repeat for those who didn't understand the first time:
NO MULTIPLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God, now shut up about it.
