1) Will we be able to use the Co-op character we customize as an avatar?
2) I read that right now friendly fire is a bug currently, but is there a chance that it can be included as a toggle on/off? Co-op is funnest when you are sabotaging your teammates.
3) Will there be challenges in the game that could let us earn meta-credits to buy armor and accessories for our co-op characters?


I just pictured myself throwing a singularity at an enemy, only to have a teammate run into it instead. Then I have to rush foward into my singularity to stop it. Friendly fire would be fun but...something tells me people would be doing that on purpose. There would be a lot of back stabbing and people thinking it'd be funny when in fact...it'd get old. Fast.

Yeah, but think of the mini-nuke you could set off with a vanguard using area charge running into a sentinel using assault armour. :devil:

Can we get some clarification on the level of customization? Will we be able to have customize the faces and armors of the different races, including humans? Or will it be one face, and every human has to wear a helmet as seen in the photos? Very curious about this.

Then you could turn it off, for those of us who like sabotaging our friends we can keep on trying to get more points.

Not sure if this has been asked yet, but how long does a typical co-op segment last?

That's a very good question.

 I have a big question:

Will co-op be cross platform? For example, PC player and a PS3 player playing together?

I am really excited about this coop because i will get to play as a Turian so hooray for that....

But i am worried to what to play first.... should i play through my first playthrough of mass effect 3 first before playing Galaxy at war or the other way around....

This will kill me till the game comes out just because i do not not whch to do first[/quote]

Do the ME3 prologue at least. Familiarise yourself with the controls and new power evolutions, so you dont look like a herpyderp in co-op. ;)


That would be an idea lol.... Thnx

So would it be possible to play like a bit of the solo campaign and just start the coop campaign....

A) According to the ME3 EULA on Amazon, yes, it is. Link (PDF)

I have read that EULA. It doesn't really say anything about singleplayer experience, whether it requires Origin to be working in tray or not. As for online services, it says only that you need an Origin account. I can say for sure - any EA game, that has ever been distributed through Steam, required you to have an EA account. But you didn't had to log in the EA Downloader - the authentication interface is pretty much always intergrated into the game itself. Just like the orange sign LIVE, that brings up the GFWL overlay, in any according title.
So the accurateness of the provided answer on the quoted question is arguable, at best. EA may be arses, but they're not fools. Limiting an AAA title completely to one distribution platform, without any further chance of expanding? That doesn't work well for business.

How long is a piece of string? It will all come down to exact scenario difficulty level, player competance, player classes, and amount of players in the session. I would say it would be at least as long as a ME2 mission.

Check the first post guys.

@Fermi27: I'm going to leave the question as it is for the moment, but will clarify that thus far its install only. For some people, just needing to have Origin for disk copy installs is too much, and sometime in the near future Jesse Houston is supposed to be releasing a FAQ in regards to Origin's exact role with respects to ME3.

I got one.

If you have multiple ME3 playthroughs, will completing the co-op missions affect all of them or just one?

A few days ago there was a thread getting created every hour or so, where people were doing nothing but complaining that MP was punishing people who had poor internet or didnt like MP, or that they were being forced to play MP against their will.
I grew tired of their childish rantings, and added that.

Funny, I've heard that before, almost as if its a Frequently asked Question. :P

- If I play Galaxy at War, will my galaxy readiness level be increased for all of my playthroughs permanently, or will my progress in GaW be tied to one playthrough at a time? Inutaisho7996

Will MP get it's own DLC in the future or will it be bundled with SP DLC?

I would like to answer the Xbox Live Gold question. In regards to Brenon's answer, Gold is not required to access XBox live, Xbox Live can be accessed via silver or a normal XBox live account, silver and gold members just get extra perks. However, I am unsure what level of membership will be required to play the MP.

So far I do not know of a single game on Xbox that let's you play Mutliplayer over Xbox Live without a Gold Membership. So I would guess that Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer will be no exception... Wouldn't mind to be proven wrong though :)

That is probably the case, I have never played any MP game so I don't know for sure.  I was just pointing out that Gold is not exclusive to XBox live.

I have a very simple and easy question for Bioware. Regarding the MP. Its very simple. I'm not asking which ones right now I want to know when your going to announce it.

When are you going to announce all the races for Mass Effect 3's MP? Will you guys be announcing them one at a time or will you announce them all at once?

Because I want my quarian infiltrator.

P.S. I'm will pay for it, beg and grovel. I'll occupy your front lawn for it too. XD
