As much as I'd like to think my Shep prefers the company of the Normandy crew to that of the unwashed rabble of Earth, I'm guessing MP will run  something like...

- Create face

- Select class (now in new-and-improved MP flavour)

Select mode:
  • Invasion (4-man Alliance squad vs Cerberus troopers and husks in a story that parallel's Shep's)
  • Deathmatch (Competitive mode of 10-man Alliance/ Cerberus teams, to sate the COD fraternity)
  • Capture the Krogan (Think Fat Princess but with the Krogan princess from the ME3 demo) ... Just for laughs

 Its probably a common view, but for me I don't have any issue with ME multiplayer in itself, it could be fun

 It just sucks that you can be sure it has taken time away that could have been used to make the single player campaign even better, and it is that story that I am invested in, and this is their last chance to bring together the story and make the choices count

 If the single player turns out to be great, then I'll have no problem with the multiplayer.. but if it is so-so you will just keep looking at the 'Multiplayer' in the main menu and thinking.. damn you

(Assuming the rumour is true this time) I can't believe I'm at work when MP got (sort of) confirmed! Ive spent the past hour or so trying to read this thread in my iPhone as gaming sites are blocked in my office.

Again assuming it's true, I wonder what the 'it's been denied a thousand times' brigade will have to say ;-)

We are going to know everything about the mutiplayer on the 19th. Possibly earlier. Till then, let's stop guessing what kind of mutiplayer it is going to be.

I'd love to see what Bioware's forum tools will have to say about it too.

Exactly what I think. They better deliver on the single player side! Then I am ok with Multiplayer.

First of all, you have completely misinterpreted the EA publicists quote. From reading that, the person is suggesting that we can no longer just have single player games where it's all guns ablazing and no real plot or storyline. Presumably because more and more gamers are enjoying the more immersive worlds of games such as Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Origins.


Uh, no. That quote was something along the line of "Every game must have some type of online element. Vanilla single-player games is no longer desirable." I remember reading that article vividly.

Secondly, all those games you mentioned still have single-player as their main element. Maybe the campaigns weren't as good because the games themselves were running out of Steam. As far as we know, Mass Effect still has a lot of life left. Stop making assumptions based on other games and other production companies.


Uh, no. Resident Evil's majority of the franchise was SINGLE PLAYER. Last time I checked, only 3 of them had co-op (i.e. Two crappy Wii games and RE5). Single-player is a chore because of how bad the partner A.I. is, and last time I checked, I had to rely on using my friend as a crutch just to play the harder difficulties. F.E.A.R. 3, developers changed hands, and last but not least, they had to rely on using co-op as a gimmick just to hype the game, and last time I checked, no one played online TWO MONTHS AFTER RELEASE.

I've also played enough Tom Clancy games to know that their life span is ridiculously short. Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory for the X-Box? Bought them at $9.99 in 2006, and guess what, barely anyone playing.  Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2? Bought them at $19.99 ON APRIL 2010. Guess what, No one online.  Rainbow Six Vegas 2, SAME DAY, SAME PRICE. Only less than A DOZEN PLAYERS.

This could be nice, as long it doesn't affect the singleplayer.
I hope they add coop, that could be interesting. I can't imagine deathmatch in Mass Effect.

I don't know why this is such a polarizing issue.
If you don't like/don't want multiplayer, don't play it.

You're making assumptions.

Maybe they are completely happy with all the time and money gone into the single player element and are now creating the MP as a seperate thing? What if they actually have two seperate teams of people working on the two different elements? It's been a year and half and they've put the release date back further, so maybe that's to accommodate the creation of MP? We have no idea what they have been doing.

Don't know about entire brigade, but I'll raise eyebrow, say "it happens" and will wait for details.

No need to bash other games. I loved RE5 and (gasp) FEAR 3 co-op, and will play them quite often when a friend is ready & willing. Also, those are examples that don't really apply since co-op was the crux of gameplay in RE5 and FEAR 3, whereas it will be an optional mode in ME3.

And "shoe-horned in" multiplayer in a decidedly singleplayer game does not equate a death sentence to either the core game or the MP experience...as someone mentioned before, Red Dead Redemption's MP was actually pretty solid and the main story certainly did not suffer from it's inclusion.


Uh, Rockstar is the EXCEPTION TO THE RULE (i.e. Sandbox games in general have more flexibility). Other games, not so much.

Calm down, Pacino.

Multiplayer in ME? Oh I hope not... I still hope it stays a rumor.

PC Powerplay is a trustworthy and accurate magazine, just because its an Australian and non-American magazine has nothing to do with its trustworthiness...in fact Russian and German magazines these days are always stumbling on leaked information that ends up turning out true lol.

I don't think multiplayer in Mass Effect is such a bad thing, though it should be noted that most people are going to buy ME for its single player and story.

Maybe it will be really fun and enjoyable.

Medal of Honor 2010 had 2 separate teams, and guess what, both aspects of the game were mediocre (even when DICE of Battlefield fame was responsible for the multiplayer.). I also remember Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway having similar problems (i.e. Rockstar being responsible for multiplayer.)

Ah yes, "multiplayer." As if enough things didn't ruin ME2, now they just want to do the same to ME3.

You need to relax. 

Why do you care if other people play MP or not? It's down to whether you enjoy it, not what other people think.

Additionally, you're somewhat stupid if you think game developers are going to completely cut out single player games from their market. It makes no financial sense.

That is all.

Knew this would happen the moment Bioware said they wanted the CoD crowd.

I expect the Singplayer Mode to be even shorter than Mass Effect 2 with the excuse being that you can get more time if you play online multiplayer.

As far as I can see you're referencing games that had already exceeded their sell-by-date.
