I don't know what to make of this, can anyone shed some light on the situation?

Edit: The CVG article makes reference to a post on Eurogamer which can be found here

This topic will be closed with the standard reply of "Mass Effect 3 is a single player game" when pretty much we all get the impression now some one is pulling major BS about this.  It is looking more and more likely ME 3 will have a tacked on multiplayer but they don't want to tell us about it yet.

[GHOST OF FRUITY]

The dark hand of EA strikes again. I'm not suprised Bioware doesn't want to discuss these multiplayer rumours - if it ends up being true, the fan rage will be truly spectacular.

Me?  I'm prepared for the worst.  But as long as it doesn't encroach on the single player main game, then I can't really have a huge issue with it.  I'll just never use it.

I've been seeing a lot on the net in regards to multiplayer some even going as far to confirm its existance however I seriously hope ME3 does not have multiplayer because the game isn't suited to it at all.

[Babli]

Yeah, multiplayer which no one will play after three months since release of a game. Thats exactly what ME 3 needs.

I hate EA.

As I said in the "features" thread:

I was emphatically opposed to multiplayer in Mass Effect. But as it's detailed there, that's the most intelligent and appealing way to implement it.
Missions outside of the main story, dedicated solely to the multiplayer component, have potential to be amazing. Imagine a four player squad of Turians, Palaven crumbling and burning all around them, fighting off oncoming Husk waves, trying to hold out as long as they can to buy civilian transports enough time to affect their escape. Give these scenarios context within the overall story and flesh out the universe by showing that the conflict is so huge that it encompasses far beyond what we see through the eyes of Shepard.

I'm converted. I'd *love* to play that.

[Bogsnot1]

As always, I call bollocks on it, and refer to simple logic. How will they implement the following powers in multiplayer?
Adrenaline Rush (Time Dilation)
Heavy Charge (Time Dilation)
Tactical Cloak (Invisible)
Stasis
Singularity

They would have to nerf those powers to avoid nerdrage from spilling over onto the forums.

Then if that is what they have to do that is what they will do.  The multiplayer rumours are too persistant and Bioware are being too evasive about MP.  It is very simple all Bioware need to do is come here and say "there will be NO mp in ME 3", bet they don't though.

Agreed. Even if this a result of pressure from the publishers (which I'm not saying is the case) I trust that Bioware will do it in such a way that will make sense within the context of the game and in the case of your example augment story elements you wouldn't otherwise see.

Apparently not.  It smacks of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory really.  So much positivity about ME3 - multiplayer will kill that outright.

[marshalleck]

It's still a small possibility. They're looking at MP for all their properties but don't have anything to announce re: ME3 right now, according to a video interview with Ray Muzyka from E3.

I just don't want a 35 hour singleplayer game to change to a 10 hour singleplayer game just because of multiplayer.

I hope they are talking about a spin-off...

They will then have to deal with the nerdrage of havign those powers nerfed.
As for coming in here and saying "No MP in ME3", they have in every other thread that has cropped up about the subject so far.

Check Casey's twitter fed, as he apparently stated that ME3 is SP only.

And really, I wish that's something that all the people flipping out and knee-jerk reactors would take into account. I think Bioware has earned enough good will for it to be obvious that they wouldn't just shoehorn something like this, that it would absolutely make sense and not tread on anything in the story. Not just a "Shepard and friends" multiplayer version of the game's story, but something that takes scenarios and offers them up for players to participate in the broader universe. That's what I got out of the article, anyway. As long as it doesn't detract from the development of the campaign, I'd have no problem with it, at all.

They won't care about the nerdrage from the fans, all EA cares about is attracting the COD crowd.  If that means they annoy a few RPG fans then who cares about them.

As for your link that is from Javier, as much as I like the guy he knows absolutely NOTHING about Bioware's plans.  He is an ordinary user like you and me that has been promoted to the position of Moderator.  There has been no Bioware staff member saying anything about MP on these boards.  A simple post from Chris saying "there will be no MP in ME 3" would shut these rumours up once and for all.  But like I said that isn't going to happen.

Could we see that tweet? Because I follow him and I don't remember any tweet saying that.

[Lumikki]

Bioware has allready sayed, NO multiplayer in ME3.
It's allready in sticky threads.

What comes after ME3 story is other question. But hole ME Shepard story has been single player game and it's good at it. Why **** up it with features what most of forum members here doesn't even want.

[Massadonious1]

It's in Phaedon's "Confirmed Features" thread.

Until we hear otherwise, I'm willing to trust that info as I doubt he would actually post BS in such a thread.

[Bogsnot1]

@charmingcharlie:
I cant be arsed going searching through every single thread about MP that has been made on the General Discussion, ME2, and ME3 forums. That was the most recent one I could ermember, and thath was how far I was willing to search for your benefit. True Zarkan made the statement about Casey's twitter thread, so feel free to go digging through that for the confirmation.
I dont use twunter, so I dont know how or where to find that one snippet out of the hordes he has made.

If you click the link to the Eurogamer source, it doesn't confirm multiplayer. It merely states it is a rumour.

I don't know why CVG are saying it's confirmed?

No they haven't. Stop mindlessly parroting this meme. Ray Muzyka on June 8, 2011 at E3 said they're exploring MP for all their games--which includes ME3--but has nothing to announce about it. 

It's not a confirmation, but it's not a denial either.

NO they haven't that is why these rumours persist.  If Bioware had said "there will be no MP in ME 3" I would be going "it is false they have said there will be no MP" but they haven't.  All the statements from Bioware have been incredibly vague and avoided saying there will be no MP.  The statements have always been along the lines of "we have nothing to announce YET", that hardly sounds like a "NO MP" to me.
