Okay, lets say assets for multiplayer were taken from single player.

If these co-op missions are anything like MW2 and 2's Spec Ops, that's not a lot.

Hey, I got preyed on too. Attractive people tend to draw trolls into their vicinity.

Anywhoozle,

I'm gonna need some BSNers to play some co-op with. Any takers?

If Xboxers can mingle with PC gamers, I'm in

I...somehow doubt that will be possible. I'll be stuck with XBL players like myself. *eye twitch*

HAAAAAAI

Oh hai there. I assume you'd like to whip my ass in live play? I'm game.

N7 Edition Preorder cancelled. Thanks for dumping on your fanbase Bioware.

Hey, I canceled mine too!








Only I had an ACTUAL F*CKING REASON TO!

You assume two things.

• Resources for single player would be compromised by the addition of this mode
• That the same team working on SP is working on MP, when evidence suggests a different team is doing MP

Also, to be frank, cancelling a pre-order over one feature you don't like, nor are forced to use, shows how little faith you have in Bioware.

Normal IS Easy. No easier mode.

My mistake then. Your original post on the subject made it seem like there was a separate Easy setting.

Your assuming that those resources would have ever been put in the game without MP.

Spec Ops was pretty lame, though.

 ::sigh:: I was just starting to feel optimistic about ME3 too.  Concerns I had largely settled.  I was reduced to debating how Horizon will affect Shepard's relationship with the VS and bellyaching about the marketing so far.

Now I totally understand how the VS felt.

"You're with Multiplayer now?  I can't believe the reports were right"

Poof, goodwill gone!

Now I'm seriously reconsidering preordering after all.  Now I'm left to wonder what might not make it into the SP game due to space constraints.  What might end up as seperate paid DLC because Bioware bows to the unwritten law that all games with guns must have multiplayer.

Now I have to wonder what aspectss got tinkered with in the SP game to "balance" MP?

Origin just became a much more serious concern.

So Bioware's got to convince me all over again.  Convince me that MP won't touch SP.  Convince me that not one line of dialogue, not one mission, not one character got left out or altered in any way due to MP.  Bioware has betrayed my trust yet again, I'm in no mood to be charitable.  

Ideally, any form of multiplayer would be a totally seperate download, with not one line of multiplayer code tainting the disks.

I won't be so dramatic as to say I'll never buy ME3 if I don't like the answers.  Like most of us, I'm a captive audience (They may in fact be counting on that for the single player crowd).  I want to see how the story ends.  But if they want a preorder, or even a day one purchase, they'll have to sing a very convincing song.  I'm not the impulse buyer they seem to be counting on to blindly purchase anything with the Bioware stamp anymore.  I'm more than willing to wait a few months.

But most likely they would have NOT been put into SP. EA directly counts on increased sales thanks to co-op missions, do you really think they would've pumped it all into SP instead thinking it would get them as much sales inscrease?

its bioware, i trust them not to mess up the main story. if the co-op sucks of well i still got the main game

Other than DA2 (which I enjopyed) I don't see a reason not to give them the benefit of the doubt.  If it sucks.  don't play it, I guarantee their will be a detailed story write-up within hours of it going live.

I actually agree with this. I mean, you don't HAVE to play the MP! You don't have to! You really don't. You know, that's what ME is all about. CHOICE. Mass Effect is all about CHOICE. You can choose to play the MP, or don't. It's all up to you! Do I kill Saren, or do I talk to him? Do I save Thane, or do I send him into the vents? Do I play MP, or not? If not, why not? What is it that I don't like? The gameplay? The lag? The weapons? And when you have the answer to all these questions, you can send an email to Bioware with your thoughts. That way, they will be able to improve the game. And you know what? I think people would like that. Really! I think they would. That would be very nice of you!

I didn't get to choose to play Soldier because I am a bad shot in ME2, when in ME1 the unlimited ammo compensated for it.

And of course, I can choose to not play ME3. I don't like to do it, but if the game I want doesn't exist then clearly I can't buy it.

Every online console game I have played on 360 involves 90% kiddies and young adults cussing and griefing plus being dicks so I don't think linking being a dick to being "cool" is the reality.

The difference is adding multiplayer would mean there would be less time for single player development. If as someone said they had already finsihed the campaing a while back they could have done something useful like add more single player content. Give us more teamate dialogue, give us another planet, hell add another teammate(though honestly that would probably be too much effort). Or even better ship the damn game out early. That would have been awesome.

In your ideal world, maybe.  In the real world, you cannot say whether or not they would have been if MP didn't exist.

Wow, just wow.
Also, This is now a flame war thread. Where are the PC elitists?
I just love getting bashed for my console preference.
People on BSN need to grow the **** up.

This thread was already on fire when MP was announced. We just missed someone saying.

Ya except they were happy with the single player 6 months ago when they announced a November release. Then delayed it 4 months, obviously to work on a multiplyer, I mean are people really that blind?

Says who?

If it was a new team put togetehr speciifically for making a MP mode then your stance is way off and childish.

[Erinpedz]

meh.. as long as the SP story is intact and Co-op can be ignored completely I don't mind so much, each to their own.
