LOL.

Now let's watch everyone change their opinion on the matter because Chris Priestly has posted.


Why would I change my mind? Its bad enough we were lied to, but to announce it without any clarifying details doesn't exactly affirm me toward the feature.


You weren't lied to.


A: "Doctor have I got rabies?"

B: "Dunno, no comment, maybe, just rumours, it's fine see you got two eyes a nose and a mouth and the sky is blue.. LOOK flying pigs!" <runs from room>

A: foams at mouth and goes insane

B: "See don't you feel better now? Ignorance is bliss"

A: ...%$££%^&!!!

I'm optimistic about this. I assume that every player won't be Shepard, so we'll probably get to use skins of out squaddies. Fingers crossed we get to play as squaddies from ME1&2 that didn't make the cut for ME3. Toes crossed for skins of non-squaddies as well.

Assassins Creed Brotherhood, Uncharted 2, and Portal 2. All completely terrible single player games when they added in the MP, AMIRITE?

Yes, we were lied to. They said early on that ME3 will not have any kind of Multiplayer, and all of a sudden it has Co-op, which is a form of multiplayer, from whichever angle you look at it.


I'd like to see all the articles that back this up. 

Here are a few I found real quick:

4 players, not 3? Good possibility on classes and chaos around. I hope it uses Old Republic persuasion system so it just won't be shooting everything in sight for something more unique to the series and genre if they're doing it anyway.

So what happened to all the statements you made BioWare about there being no multiplayer in ME3? Did we all just imagine that? Because I really being extremely happy when I heard that as I thought, "yeah a studio that still values single player games and won't compromise or give into peer pressure that a game has to have multiplayer in order for it to be good." I plan to watch on Wednesday, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Also is it 10 AM CST or 10 AM Mountain time because it really wasn't clear.

The only thing I see here is that you did two things.
1. You planned to incorporate multiplayer from the beginning. In that case, you outright lied to us with repeated statements about there being no multiplayer. And I for one feel insulted because of that.

2. You added it as an afterthought, and because of that, something will suffer. Now we all know that Mass Effect only had one other thing to suffer, the single player campaign. Either way though, you lied to us about there being no multiplayer.

Either way I'm insulted that you lied to us, there's a difference between misleading and lying, and I doubt that you could have done this without compromising something.

Actually, what they've consistently up until now said is "We do not have anything to announce at this time".

So, any more stupid ideas you want to throw in your games Bioware??

I know you guys are smart enough to realize that this game does not need any kind of co-op. You are taking money and resources away from making a better Single player game on wasted MP that I am sure will come up in the Raptr stats as played for teh equivalent of one hour or so. Wasted effort or something the majority of your fan base does not want and does not care about.

We have a multi-player Bioware game called Star Wars: The Old Republic. This is Mass Effect and Mass Effect does not need this crap.

I see EA has struck again....


You don't suppose this is payback for railing against spandex outfits, do you?  ;)

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving everyone. I am at my inlays having dinner, so ma typing this on an iPhone. Excuse the larger than usual amounts of spelling errors.

As mentioned by Casey on Twitter, we are confirming that there will be 4 player Co-op multiplayer missions for Mass Effect 3. We will have more details on this feature on Wednesday when the announcement was supposed to be made.

I know the immediate reaction by some is to panic and think of how this will ruin the Mass Effect series or whatever. PLEASE do not over react or assume the worst until you actually hear details on this feature and how it will work. I will try to get approval to give you details so you can make up your minds with the correct details. Marketing's plan was to announce on Wednesday, but I'll see if I can speed this up.

So, until you learn the details, I urge people to have cautious optimism or wary negativity until you get the real details. Thanks everyone. Stay tuned.


Of course, Chris. Looking forward to the update. :happy:


I'll be at work :(

Thanks, appreciate it. I'd like to know if we can do those missions solo? My friends play on Xbox360 and I play on PC (I have ME1&ME2 on both platforms, but only intend to buy the pc version of ME3), so I'm hoping we can either a) solo them or B) do them with AI companions. I'd hate to miss a portion of the experience simply because my friends play on a different platform :mellow:

Though I'm really damn interested to see how the multiplayer turns out, I honestly have to wonder why BioWare felt the need to lie, to us, their loyal fans no less, on the matter.

"Mass Effect 3 is a singleplayer game"

Really? Lying gets you nowhere, and kinda makes you look bad. I would have (and am currently) welcomed the news of co-op/multiplayer, but hearing it after being told 'Mass Effect 3 is a singleplayer game', kinda soils the whole thing.

Maybe next time BioWare guys and gals, just be honest with us? It's not much to ask.

Finally got the time to log in here and post my comment, I have been following the story via Twitter for some time.

Well, I am glad that it is Co-Op. And not MP, not in the traditional sense of the word. I am not worried particularly, though I am against the feature. I'd much rather have something akin to single player Terrorist Hunt or Hostage Rescue for the earlier Rainbow Six games. Those added quite the re-playability.

There is only one thing worth getting angry over, however:
The direct rejection of MP by Casey Hudson multiple times, the latest one being shortly after E3. Yes. Direct. "We tried to get it in, but it didn't work". As much as I like the guy, that's an outright lie. Yes. He was referring to Multiplayer, not Co-Op. It doesn't matter. Co-Op counts as Multiplayer, technically and that's dishonesty from a producer right there.

Sure, it isn't as bad as some dev promises from ME1 that were never actually refuted until after the game was released (which seeing how Bioware fans tend to be towards the mentally unstable side, I am surprised how someone didn't promise suing over their consumer rights, or whatever), but, darnit, Casey, you've been a bad boy.


I feel the same way.  Maybe we're two of the only people who cares about honesty and respect for fans/consumers, because most other people seem to be focused on whether or not the added content will be "good" or "bad."  The quality of co-op is irrelevant to the issue here, at least for me.

Yes, all weapons are being replaced with snowballs, you can upgrade them by putting rocks in them.

Cautious optimism = Paragade
Wary negativity = Renegon
Negativity = Renegade

Am I getting this right?

Still why are you only attacking me with old post that were made before the rumor was confrimed? There are tons of other people here that posted the exact same thing and still are and yet you chose me.


Why you?  Probably because of the whole "thick skulls" comment - it made it all the more amusing when you were wrong.

EDIT:  And those posts were about a week old.

Genshie wrote...

I reported you earlier for harrassment. Enjoy.


You reported me for 'harrassment' after I made one post (assuming by earlier you meant before my second post)? 

It's ok, I understand, you are probably a bit miffed at the moment.  With that in mind, this is the last you will hear from me.

Good day Image IPB

I.E. the single player experience suffered from the franchises adding mutli-player.

Do I also have to add in that it was a sarcastic post?
