Nothing in the OP correlates the claim made in the thread's title. Where have co-op missions been officially confirmed?


Casey Hudson himself.

The manpower used to make MP could have been used instead to enhance/hasten the game.


For the nth time: "could have" =/= "would have".  In an ideal world, sure, but this ain't an ideal world, and realistically, it's very much a possibility that those resources would have just not been expended on ME3 at all.

Ok just hearing about this now. This is pretty upsetting. What I want to know is, what made bioware think the people who play this game wanted this?
Yeah yeah, new fanbase, blah blah blah. I get it
But this will not increase the sales. People don't by games like Dead Space 2, Dragon Age, or Mass Effect for the multiplayer, we buy them for the story
Now I am still excited about the game, but now I know that the whole game will be diluted from what it should have been. THere is no doubt in my mind this is more of an EA move, than a Bioware move. People who made this franchise should stand up to these idiots and say "EA this is a bad idea"
Kind of like some people should have said to George Lucas that SO many things in the prequel trilogy where bad ideas
Another thing it says certain multiplayer missions... I pray, I doubt it will happen, BUT I pray that you will not, REPEAT will not NEED to do thse multiplayer missions with another player. That would be bull. Not to mention the achievements to get for playing multiplayer which not many will get because THE MULTIPLAYER WILL NOT BE COMPETETIVE TO GAMES LIKE BF3, Halo Series, COD, or even GOW!!
This is likely the worst idea for this franchise. I stood by thinking (and after reading the GAmeInformers first reveal: No MP. Its a SP game)
Like seriously, first the Kinect. I was a bit miffed, but was like ok, no big deal its just voice command. Took a breather there. I like the melee attacks. Those are cool. But THIS! Sorry bioware, but nothing you can say will help me with this. Why Start a MP for this? Your greatest franchise?? Why can't you just leave it alone and do it on another game that you guys are developing? Why ? I almost guarantee most fans are NOT happy about this news, so why would you add it? We all know its EA! You are slowly slowly losing ground bioware.
Please don't lose one of your longest fans. Redeem yourself somehow
For **** sakes

Totally feel you bro, I almost feel physically sick by this news(Im a MAJOR Mass Effect fan :P) and Mass Effect 3 really doesnt need multiplayer of any kind, it really doesnt. Bioware already said they were going to expand the franchise past the third game, so why not make ME3 the best single player experience of all time then move on to make a really great multiplayer Mass Effect game? Like an MMO or whatever? That would be perfect, but noooooo. This is definatly EA's doing however. I'm fairly sure Bioware knows that their theres no need to cram multiplayer into a their single player masterpiece(especially the last one of the trilogy ffs), they arent the money grabbing ass bags some other companies are(like Activision. x|). And my personal history with EA games hasnt been all that great. (Dead Space 2' tac-on multiplayer, the tragedy of C/C4, the list goes on). 

We can only hope that Mass Effect 3 wont be ruined by this at all, I'm not trying to flame or troll ppl but lol Mass Effect is truly awesome series which I'd hate to see ruined. Imagine how even more awesome it'd be for being the only SP trilogy too... :[

I guess Half Life's the only one left that can carry that title whenever lifetime Valve decides to finish the damn thing. xD

One of the few times I agree with IGN.


Couldn't agree more.

Side note: gotta love youtube, making you sit through a 30 second commercial to watch a 90 second video.


I love the best buy advert with big dude and little guy on bus.

Icing on the cake. Now I can play with my buddy, who originally got me into the series.

I have faith in bioware that the singleplayer will be awesome. Nuff said.

Also, I need a new analogy for the cake thing, since I do not eat it.


Maybe "money in the bag"? "Cherry on top"?

I don't know, I'm not good a pop culture analogies.

The OP has Mass Effect's official twitter and Xbox Magazine. Is is really necessary that you have Casey Hudson's tweet too?

I have this odd feeling that every slight problem or error in the singleplayer is going to be blamed on multiplayer. Whether it makes sense or not.

"My favorite character isn't a squadmate? IT"S BECAUSE OF CO-OP"


We all know this won't happen. It's not like BSN is full of people who find reasons to complain and choose insolence over valid critiques. People on here are civil and support BW in all of their decisions instead of finding insignificantly miniscule reas...

Have you guys ever applied for James Randi's million dollar psychic prize?  I totally think you got something here.  This is the most solid prediction next to "the Chicago Cubs won't win the World Series this year."

Dear God. If you don't want Multiplayer, toggle it off. Problem solved.

No lesson to be learned for those who have been OK with the idea the whole time.

The lesson to be learned is be that people should stop sticking your bloody head in the sand doesn't make the piles of evidence go away, no matter how much you fear it. Aside from that, "Word of God" only applies to plot related stuff, and under no circumstance extends to simple PR/marketing as well

But we've had this before, both on a smaller and equally big scale as this time, respectively Legion's role in ME2 and the PS3 version, and we'll have it again in the future. Probably the remake of first game, so PS3/Wii-U owners will get to experience the full series...

Technically, ME3 is a single player game. The co-op missions are separate from the main game. The core game and the majority of gameplay is a single player experience. Also, no one at Bioware has said that there was no multiplayer.

While I was very much tempted to respond as such, I went ahead and provided it. No sweat off my back. Only took a sec.

If he is the one that officially confirmed it, then yeah - it would help as the OXM link doesn't really have any details on what the multiplayer component will entail.

Why? Why is it automatically a bad idea? You have no idea what it will even be like. Calm the hell down and wait until you know something about it.


Hmm, lets see.

1. Not needed in this SINGLE PLAYER GAME

2.  Majority of fan base does not want or care about co-op so it is a wasted effort to begin with.

3. It shows EA's fingers in Bioware and the decreasing independence that they have from their corpoate masters.

4. Any kind of multiplayer takes resources and time aways from perfecting the Single Player.  It can be said that the Single player could suffer just by there being MP because of this. 

So if we add this all up it comes down to: Why waste money and resources for a traditionally single player game to add a co-op mode that most of your fans of the game will NEVER use and hardly ever play?  It can't be for new players because this is:
A). A terrible time to bring in new players since it is teh END of the trilogy and

B). An RPG.  Adding co-op is not going to change casual fans perceptions of the game and what it is.


You're making too many assumptions to be taken seriously. You assume that you speak for the majority of ME players. You assume that Bioware is adding this because their evil overlords demand it and not because they want to extend the life of the finale of their biggest IP. You assume that they don't know how to make a MP mode that works well, even though a lot of the people working on TOR are also working on ME3. You assume that they took resources away from the story/campaign to do this and didn't have a separate team working on it. You assume Bioware should be fine with each installment selling just as many or fewer units than the previous installment.
All you're doing is making assumptions and not making an argument to support your pessimism. I'm optimistic and hopeful. This could be a great way to add life beyond several playthroughs to observe the differences choices make. And it should help ensure a lenghty DLC schedule.

Oh, that lesson.

Well, I already assumed as such ever since around 2002 when I first started having some experiences with companies. Yeah, fair though.
