- Can the MP mode be done solo, for those who either dont like MP, or want an extra challenge to finish the game without squadmates?


Currently, yes... but it's pretty hard. Though a lot of that depends on difficulty.

I'm seeing this quoted a bit... just wanted to caution people, we're still developing stuff - so as with a lot of the things we talk about on here, it's not final yet. :happy:

I realize this, Brenon. But I'd *really* like to be able to play through the co-op missions solo if I so desire. It's not always easy to get someone to play with you at your leisure, and sometimes you just want that extra challenge. Moreover, a lot of games that offer a co-op mode have the option to let you play solo (e.g. Horde mode in Gears of War, Firefight in Halo, Terrorist Hunt in Rainbow Six: Vegas).

Just my two cents as a player.


I agree, this will make many Mass Effect fans very pleased methinks. May even bring back those poor souls who decided to cancel their pre-orders too early. 

And btw Brenon theres a poll regarding the co-op, I already sent a message to Chris about it, heres the link if you want to check it out.

Well said, it's not like it costs them anything if you allow people to use the same exact feature solo. Why would they even consider removing it?

So still no word on splitscreen? No xbox live where I am at, and my friends xbox red ringed so no system link from my end.

Could you at least leave in friendly fire as an option? Some people like it, and I don't see an reason why no to let them have it if they think it makes the game better.


hmmm....or...just like what Valve did with Left 4 dead 2 (not 1). No friendly fire, but give the characters soundbites when they are being fired upon by their teammates. Some of the quotes in that game are hilarious. :D

But it would be ideal to allow people to play co-op missions solo (and maybe even off-line?). It's not only about people who don't like MP. It's also about the fact sooner or later, the MP in ME3 will lose its popularity and if someone will feel like playing the co-op missions in 3-4 years or so, he/she may have BIG problem if there's no one to play with and it is required to have a partner.

Allowing solo play can only be a benefit in so many ways.

Thanks, I was seriously concerned for awhile there. My friends who are buying ME3 are a bunch of console peasants;) (I own both consoles too, but play on pc mostly) so I can't play with them, and I really don't like playing with random people. I don't mind the challenge of soloing the co-op content, but I just want to experience all possible content the game has to offer (and if the challenge is too hard, I'll just turn the difficulty down).

We're still working on achievements, but it's likely there will be MP specific achievements.

Oh great, so we will be forced to play MP if we want 100% in our singleplayer game. Thanks. Now just do like Ubisoft and add ridiculous achievements that force you to grind the MP you don't want to play and we'll be all set.

Can a developer please confirm or deny what I asked.

http://social.biowar...84668/9#8499070

That is what all the debating and articles and everything on co-op has come across to me about the issue that means the most to me about MP and I would like to know if [what I think it is], actually [is what it is] so I can understand and move on. Else I am no further ahead of when this whole co-op news was released.

Another vote for splitscreen. My wife and I would like to be in the same room to play. Plus, even though I have two X-Boxen ( one for work ), we only have one Live account in the family.

Please let folks there know that this will make or break the mode -- and maybe ME3 -- for a lot of us who aren't happy with MP. I will have no problem with co-op if I can play locally solo (split-screen would be nice too, but solo is a must). There's an excellent chance I'll sell my copy after "deciding how it ends" if not.

You know, you can play the co-op stuff by yourself...

Just saying.
