One question I want answered...

Will any of the achievements be connected to the multiplayer.

Please say no so that I can ignore multiplayer altogether and just pretend it doesn't exist.

[Phideaux the Barbarian]

Aww, Crap,
  Clearly I am in the minority in hating MMO's and co-op games and MP in general. I was hoping my favorite game would end without the multiplayer spector rearing it's ugly head but such is not to be. I understand that Bioware is out to make the biggest buck possible and don't hold that against them. Clearly, MP is the new wave. I won't be boycotting ME3 or any such silly nonsense but this has me looking forward to it much less than I was.

I hope since you are using up precious resources and time for this that it is well implemented and extremely worthwhile. However, the tone of your OP Chris really sounds like lipservice to EA.

My last thought on this for a multi-species squad...how will that be explained? I don't recall C-sec having squads...please tell me this is not some mercenary group turned good for justice. If this is to be implemented, it should have a reasonable explanation to go along with it.

The Reapers are attacking everybody, how is a multi-racial squad unrealistic? My only concern is about the possible exclusion of female aliens.

[TheRevelator]

I stil don't understand how the multiplayer affects the main game, since the SP apparently can be done without playing MP. Is it harder if you don't play MP? Easier if you do? What?

Or worse, they cover them up in armor so you can barely see them properly.

This is actually great news Completely optional co-op + being able to play as another species (something a lot of fans will have surely waited for).

Best multiplayer news we could hope for imo.

You are not necessarily in the minority.  It depends on what your age is.  They have done lots of studies on this, and it is one of the greatest "generation gaps" in gaming.  Older gamers -- even as young as late 20s -- generally hate playing online, particularly with strangers.  However, younger gamers all want to play online.

The trend is very clear.  Game studios realize that they have to go in this direction, or they will never be able to grow from their constantly aging gamer base.

Could be good, doubt it will be amazing.

"other components" AKA Facebook games. As if the DLC wasn't milking us hard enough.

[FirstOfficerEddie]

I don't know about this. If they didn't think this was a great idea, why did they not add MP in the first and second game?
Nah, I have my doubts.

since when did you need to get every single achievement, not a single game I have, have I ever achived every achievement, hell games did just fine without them before they showed up.

My guess will be it will just make raising galatix readiness easier and that is about the only effect it will have on SP, just a guess.

As has been pointed out on this thread already, it is probably something very similar to the Hold the Line score.  There are probably enough ways to max out this score in the SP game, but the other platforms will give you a head start.

I have the opposite concern.  Is it possible to ignore the galactic readiness score from this after you play co-op? Otherwise, it is going to be hard to get the "bad" endings on later play-throughs.

You get to shoot stuff from a different character skin. Big deal. Playing another race would be interesting if it was built into the story, you got to experience the different culture, see the galaxy from a new perspective but that's not going to happen in this co-op. Instead you'll get a new skin for your character and a special bonus power.

I'd be ok with that, actually. So long as there are female voice-actors. It'd be silly if they weren't wearing a bunch of armour in a combat situation.

For the same reason that people want achievements/recognition for playing on the hardest difficulty.  This is a valid playstyle, and there is a sizeable amount of the player base that wants to get all achievements if possible.

[Pepper4]

Sounds great! I am sure this co-op is gonna rock my socks. Can't wait to play as a krogan! It's good to know that the co-op was developed by a different studio, so the single-player campaign won't be affected.

In addition, I'm intersted in knowing more about the "Galaxy at War" platforms. I bet there is a facebook game on the way. Hopefully, they are not planning on a second iPhone game, as I have no iOS device.

Regarding to the Galaxy at War thingy again: I don't want to know if I'm going to get the optimal ending. I hope they are not planning on adding a bar that indicates at the level of readiness.

Some players, me included, like the fact of achivements in-game. And if some of those are MP, and you're not into MP, then you feel betrayed. Like me.

[Usikan]

Sounds pretty sweet! Look forward to learning more.

Yes, having irrational fears and hatred often leads to pessimism

Oh, well. Back to Deus Ex. Cheerio.

As in Deus Ex, the game that had multiplayer added in, or Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the game with the inconsequential and shortsighted story?

Probably because they could not pull it off at the time.  They cut a lot of stuff in the earlier games because they could not do it well.

[Reaper Edge]

I can only hope for an additional option to play this mode solo. I do not want to be excluded from that content in the future (Let's say 3 or more years later) just because there isn't any player available to play with.

I'll be playing it with my buddies all'right, but I still want to be able to access to that content freely when there's fewer or no players left playing.

Well of course that, but covering their face and all, you know.

Very true. But still, I do not like when they're messing with my games. It gives me a certain feel of... I don't know. Like I will be sitting with my top-hat and monocels whilst playing the game going "Hmm... Aahh... Ohh... Interesting".

I wouldn't have liked that, because it's supposed to be Shep's story. And I think there will be some new audio too, not just a new skin. Anyway, it's a nice addition and I would rather have this co-op we are currently getting over Deathmatch/Free For All bullcrap, so I'm happy
