Waiting until holiday 2012 would suck, Bluko. The added wait is already killing me.

BioWare co-founder Ray Muzyka told Eurogamer last week, "We haven't talked at all about multiplayer in the Mass Effect franchise, but we're exploring multiplayer in all of our games and all of our franchises." He added, "It's always an idea we're interested in."CVG has independently backed up the multiplayer rumor, although its source says ME3 won't have something akin to Horde mode. Instead, the game will have a "handful" of replayable, "original missions" that are separate from the game's campaign."

Sounds fine to me.

I concur. However, the question is would these be standalone missions, or would they effect the story in some way?

Bluko wrote...
A few Co-Op missions should hardly have any sort of noticeable negative impact on the main game. I understand some may not like Multiplayer, but the reasons to oppose it are silly and entirely selfish. If the very addition of multiplayer bothers you then you should oppose the gameplay changes in ME2 as they have made it all the more likely this would occur. (I was susprised ME2 didn't have any Multiplayer really.)

If the multiplayer is done right, I'd go for it. The matchmaking lobbies should be similar to that of Halo and Call of Duty. Nothing like Rainbow Six, where a player can choose to boot you. Also, to share space with the overall campaign, I think the multiplayer should be on a seperate disc. Kind of like ODST/Halo 3 double disc thing.

If your concern is time for a lack of content, then you really should advocate ME3's release date be pushed back to Holiday 2012.

well i have no real opinion on it as long as it doesn't make the campaign short as all hell (MW,MW2,BLACK OPS)

Those games have to focus on the multiplayer in order to last the year in between releases of IW and Treyarch. The campaign usually comes second as the general population plays them for the multiplayer.

Unfortunately, this rumour has not been confirmed or denied. ME3 devs are giving vague answers and being evasive when asked direct questions about wether or not MP will be in ME3.

As much as I would like to hope its not true, I find their lack of honesty disturbing. I wont be preordering thegame until the rumour has been settled. If MP is in the game, I will buy it a couple of weeks after its released, so I can get some feedback from the community how much the SP game has suffered at the hands of MP, and if its worth the money at all.

The only thing I have a problem with is ANOTHER MULTIPLAYER THREAD......

This info is NOT news most of it is just speculation and there are literally dozens of topics about it already.

Why not create a "Kaiden and Ashley are back in Mass Effect 3" thread while you're at it?

Casey mentioned several times that they are focusing on the best SP ever. MP will not destroy the SP in any way, shape, or form if present. It will only add to the longevity.
If it's anything like Brotherhood/UC2 MP, mainly just added as a "bonus", I'm looking forward to it. Pop some heads with other Femsheppies.

THERE IS NO MULTIPLAYER! Its been denied about 3 times now. Notice how it keeps on saying how its an "informant" in all these articles? Its just rumors. THAT'S IT!

They never denied it at all. If they would have, this wouldn't be up for discussion. Everytime they answered about multiplayer, it was neither a confirmation or denial. However, just that mere fact alone implies that it is in the game, because otherwise they would have just flat out denied it. No need to keep people one edge. This is evidence enough for me. I don't like it, but what can I, or anyone else for that matter, do about it? Bioware's so set on getting the CoD crowd that they don't care about story any more, only online multiplayer in order to boost sales.

Bioware wants CoD's audience, but I don't want anything to do with the "Cawadoody" fanboys. Seriously. CoD 1 was good, CoD 2 was great. MW wasn't so bad. This (WaW-MW2-Black Ops-MW3) is horrible.

[TheMakoMaster]

As a shooter, the ME series is leaps and bounds behind the curve.  Not to toot my own horn :innocent:, but i've killed more people than the Iridian plague with my sniper rifle in CoD.  The ME sniping/shooting system doesn't hold a candle to many games, but lots of people like myself overlook that because of the Bioware's storytelling ability, a skill that most FPS's lack or don't even feel a need to develop.  That said, I wouldn't find much use for ME3 Multiplayer...i'd play another shooter instead.

Not if it wasn't ready. Keep in mind that they extended the development period.

Multiplayer in ME would be an atrocity. I seriously despise how some of these "newer" gamers care so much about multi to the point that the producer spends too much time on that and ruins the main story arc.
Games like Arkham City, ME, etc do NOT NEED MULTIPLAYER. Case closed.

[Jaron Oberyn]

AC:Brotherhood added it and it didn't seem tacked on at all. There was a story reason for it. However, I haven't played the campaign yet so I don't know if the story mode suffered or not. Will know soon. But I doubt it did since their priority is to tell this grand story. If Bioware adds multiplayer, hopefully it won't take away from the singleplayer experience. That's all I can ask for. I didn't think I'd be using multiplayer in AC, but it looks interesting. If ME can do something innovative then I might try it out. Howeverm it continues to emulate the GoW style and add horde, I probably won't even bother.

I agree with this except for one part...if Mass Effect 3 contains a multiplayer element, not only will I not be pre-ordering a Collector's Edition, I won't be buying the game at all. I am sincerely begging BioWare to please, please, please not shoehorn in a multiplayer element into the final game in the Mass Effect trilogy; please don't ruin my favorite franchise!

Good point actually. ACB Multi AND single were both great. The campaign is amazing, play it.

Well, I was indeed wrong. I can only hope that its just a rumor to boost sales...but thats just lying to myself. The day it gets confirmed is the day I downgrade to the regular edition. As much as I love this series, these kids and their multiplayer demands will ruin ME3. Im sorry Mass Effect, you will be missed.

Oh how I despise some of those "older" gamers who think they were the only ones around back in the date and that things past year 2000 are bad. No, Mass Effect does not need multiplayer to be a valid AAA tile, that doesn't mean it wouldn't benefit from such a feature if implemented correctly.

Yal people mad. I honestly don't see any logics behind some posts. How does the multiplayer makes you not buy the expanded edition? Friggin listen to yourself.

Because I want EVERY. SINGLE. RESOURCE. Put into the SP. I didnt pay 80$ for a Gears clone. I payed it for the SP in my favorite game series.

Please, I beg you to get your facts straight. It was even mentioned by BioWare that resources do not work like that. It is obvious that Mass Effect 3 is a single player game at first, otherwise it would make no sense.

Few years back some people were making a comotion about DLC and how they will never buy them and how they are evil and every developer who makes DLC has sold his soul to the corporate devil. Truly evil, stay away or the multiplayer will capture your soul. Same thing was going on when World of Warcraft hit, part of the Warcraft fanbase hated the concept of MMO... in the long run - WoW was the right thing to do.

Ok, I shall add an example. Look at ACB. Was the single player good? Yes, it was. As was the multiplayer. But without the multiplayer, the single player would have been better then AC2. Resources was a bad word to put in there, I agree. If they could find a way to have a small group work on the MP and then the others do the SP then I would maybe welcome it. I just want them to have a good reason to add MP, not just to add it because its popular.

[Kusy]

You deal in "ifs" and you cannot make a valid point with that. Ubisoft made AC:B as it is. Singleplayer was great, so was the multi, saying that if there was no multi the single would be better is just random - nothing ever indicated that other than your assumption and you can not prove it in any way.

Multiplayer is not added because it's popular, it's becoming a standard and things not reaching the standard are well... below. It will reach Dragon Age franchise as well. Even the worst game of the year (yes, I'm looking at you Duke Nukem) had a multiplayer and it was better than the (sad) single player campaing.

There is demand for multiplayer, the hunger must be satisfied someday, you can only hope that it will taste good.

The trouble with that idea of yours Bogsnot, going on the hypothetical PoV that there is MP, you know just as much as I do that there is ALWAYS going
to be someone that will claim the SP has suffered due to it, even if
there are those of us that don't see such a situation. It is what some of the stupid forumites in this community are best at... 'whining about nothing' as has already been proven countless times throughout this communities life.

Some of the responses to the whole MP thing really do make me facepalm and wonder just how old some of the people are because some are acting like 13 year olds throwing their first teenage angst strop because their parents didn't give them what they wanted.

Whilst at least there are some rational people looking at it the right way.

As Medcsu has stated and I agree with him, I don't think the SP of AC:Brotherhood suffered from the MP. Like you said, there was a story reason for the MP as well, I can easily see how they could do something similar for the MP of ME.

As some people have suggested in the past, they could make it so that it's a group of Alliance members on Earth or other planets trying to thwart the Reaper threat. Now yes it might end up just being a horde mode as the rumours have stated already, but maybe Bioware can bring something else to the plate even if it is akin to that.

I'll be getting the game whether it has MP or not, because I have faith that the 'ME team' will deliver on their word that they are making the best SP experience they can for the final part of the trilogy and so any MP additional stuff will be a nice bonus especially if that is given the care by the section of the team that is working on it.

Edit: @Mr Kusy Great post and I fully agree.
