Depending on how much material gets bumped off the disks by whatever software is needed for the GoW, GaW  stuff[/quote]

I'm guessing the same software that made the game in the first place. Honestly, if you want to complain, at least know what you're talking about.

But it's the last chapter of Shepard's trilogy...there's no way Bioware would cut things from the single player campaign to make room for multiplayer; I just cannot believe that they would do that...[/quote]

Why?

I mean, I'm not trying to advocate for cut content, but we don't know what the SP entails. We don't know what the M entails.

Do we know if this can be done split-screen? And does it have to be 4-player?

I wonder if the Galactic Readiness Level is permanently raised if you completed those Co-op missions.

If not, that kinda sucks.

My reading of it is that it has a permanent effect.  The question is how is it tied to a campaign?  Do you have to pick a save to assign the points to or some other mechanism?

If it has a permanent effect, then that is WIIIIIIIN.

I imagine it'll be a slight boost, nothing more. No different than an import of the previous games giving you a boost in something.

I'd like to think that you can choose to link a sp campaign to it or not.  I'd like to do it with and without to see the differences, and if I'm forced to have it always after I've done it once, that would kind of suck.

I would do it all the time, but I can understand the desire for a choice per playthrough.

I hope they throw that in for you guys.

I just reeeally hope its a permanent boost.

It's interesting to watch all the "fans" on other sites like Facebook hear the words "MULTIPLAYER" and immediate jump down BioWare's throat with "You guys suck" and "I hate you."

This new system has to be the greatest creation and addition known in the Mass Effect universe. THANK YOU CASEY!

Ever consider that you're actually in the minority about this?

Oh, you got what you wanted, so screw everyone else.

So... explain this "Galactic Readiness" system to me, Chris. If you are boiling the entire fricking franchise and trilogy story to a meter in the corner of my screen, what becomes so the HOURS of time I've invested into all of those side missions and decisions from Mass Effect 1 and 2? What happens to every little thing I've done and obtained in my story? In MY story?

Or did you decide to get rid of that quality and luxury as well so you could cater to the masses? Wouldn't want to scare them off with a big, scary storyline that they might actually have to get into before they start the rail-shooting with their buddies, right?

How did having a suicide mission defense score affect all your cutscenes and decisions in ME2?  I think that one is simple to understand if you think about it for a bit.  Not being mean, just pointing out the obvious.  The mechanic has been used before, with countless variations in the previous game.  Imagine instead that you have an epic final showdown with the reapers on earth, and every choice you made shows up in orbit, on the ground, and in the Reaper's faces?

Saving the Krogan from the genophage could up your score, that doesn't mean its on the Shepard can win bar and it doesn't show up anywhere else.  Imagine a ragtag group of Krogan, no Krogan at all, or a massive Krogan fleet dropping in to headbutt some reapers.

Usually in 4 player co-op modes, they let you play with 2 or 3 people. There's usually scaling, like less enemies, in that case.

Um, how do you figure?  If it just makes some other non-central SP task optional (say, whatever the equivalent of scanning is), then I don't see how it matters in the least.

Riiight. An equivalent of planet-scanning, the most universally hated feature of ME2, being forced on SP ME3 players who don't want co-op, doesn't matter in the least?

If it's not attached to additional content like dialogue and cutscenes, then, no, it doesn't matter in the least.  You can do whichever one you dislike least. Also, you seem to think "equivalent" means "exactly like in all respects".  The sense I was using it in was "task that increases story-relevant resources".

Honestly I like this. I mean it's been developed by a seperate team than the single player part and you can play as different races. So if I say don't get a squadmate of a certain race in the campaign, and if the race is available in the MP then I can at least play as said race. I'll hold my true judgement though until more info is released.

I'm still not happy about this.

This should have been a stand alone downloadable game and not have been attached to Mass effect 3 proper. I'm a completionist and despite the fact that I have a choice of not playing this, I will feel forced to since I want to play all aspects of a game that I paid $60 for. A lot of gamers are like me in this regard so a lot of people will essentially be forced to play this just to get the most out of the game.

I can't blame Bioware for doing this. EA is their parent company and they have to do what big poppa tells them. Forcing multiplayer on people is one of the worst aspects of this current generation of games. I hope that my current apprehension over this is unjustifed and that I will love this addition to Mass effect 3 but the fact that EA forced Bioware to do this doesn't sit right with me.

Am I the only one who thinks Galaxy at War will be a Battlefield 3 Battlelog mirror? Seriously, that was my first impression upon reading the article.

...So, I wonder how much more difficult it will be to get the "optimal" ending without MP. I doubt I can find people who will support me for my 14 or so Shepards. Not that they will all get that ending, of course.

[Chris Priestly]

I know everyone has a lot of questions about the 4 player co-op system and the Mass Effect: Galaxies at War system, but I am all out of answers currently. (I was only able to get what I gave in the op because Jesse Houston works like a dog and was actually working on Thanksgiving and Nick Clifford ditto without the Thanksgiving).

There are more answers to come. I know Casey will be doing a special video later this week addressing people's concerns and there is lots more info on Mass Effect: Galaxies at War and ME3 co-op multiplay, as well as lots of information on the single player game still to come.

Todays announcement is but the start of information on these topics with much more still to come.

Oh for Christ's sake, just FORM A CO-OP TEAM ALREADY AND GET A ROOM. To play ME3 co-op missions in.

I was paintballing one time and got hit with old, stale paintballs. It really hurt and it broke the skin, I had to go home afterwards for some bandages because the blood was starting to soak through my clothes a little, we never found out who was using those paintballs unfortunately. True story.

If people are going to play the MP so they can "Pwn n00bs" they'll be disapointted, its co-op MP related to the story, not a competative MP such as Killzone, Halo, Battlefield and COD, if they CHOOSE to play  MP it will have an effect on what happens in singleplayer

You're stating your opinion as fact, when it just doesn't apply in every situation. Your argument just isn't valid.
The last co-op game I tried was called something like Dungeon Hunter on the PS3. I can't remember the exact name. It was a Diablo clone is all I really remember. And playing co-op just didn't hold any interest for me.

But that's the thing though, the opinion really does apply. Its actually a fairly common experience in gaming. I think its kind of evident from the success of games like Portal, or even a longer running game like Splinter Cell, that co-op done right is (for most people) fun.

Given that Mass Effect's gameplay already has the player relying on AI teammates that they can't directly control anyway, it seems reasonable that they would attempt to integrate co-op into this game, given that it for a lot of gamers it is a positive experience.

As long as you can answer what I asked (when you can) answer it thats fair enough.

But they really are answers I would need to know at some point.

Taking a Special Forces squad to the Reapers while Shepard finds the key to saving the galaxy. Looking forward to the action.
