Like Fredvdp it is Origin not Origins. You didn´t correct the question under General.

Happy now?

2 Questions:
They said that there will be an online pass for the multiplayer so: will the online pass be user locked or region locked?
Will the multiplayer require a gold membership for Xbox!

One clarification to my question "Will SP require a lot of "grind" in order to achieve the same level of Galactic Readiness as co-op?"
Can you replace "grind" with "repeatable mission" or add it in () behind it?

Grind is a bit too generic and we won't get a very clear answer to that.

Thanks for making the thread - figured I'd cherry pick a couple of these :happy:.

[/quote]

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

- Further to this, are 4 players definately required, or can it be done with 2, or 3? Will there be AI to fill out the teams if 4 are required? ViceVersaMan
[/quote]

You can play with less than 4 players.

[quote]
- In case of player drop-outs, will their avatar disappear, be taken over by an AI, or will it be a universal "dump to main menu"? Will they come back with the same avatar should they reconnect quick enough?
[/quote]

That player will drop, they can always reconnect.

[quote]
- Are teams rigid, and  set once the game is underway, or can players join in later on?
[/quote]

Players can leave and join.

- What effect will time dilation abilities (A.R, Infiltrator Zoom) have in co-op? sam726
[/quote]

There is no time dilation in MP, the powers that might have normally had it were adjusted accordingly.

- Will there be MP-only achievements?  DontTeachMyHamsterToSuckEggs

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

[quote]
- Will it be Peer to Peer, or Client-Server based? Soul Cool
[/quote]

Server / Client.

[quote]
- How does pause and the radial meny work in multiplayer and will class abilities function sameway in MP, like they do in singleplay? Juha81FIN
[/quote]

There is no radial menu in MP. There's a simplified version of it (kind of) that doesn't pause the game - as was mentioned above, affected abilities have been adjusted as needed.

[quote]
- Will there be friendly fire from powers?
[/quote]

Right now, yes... but that's a bug and though funny isn't really what I think we want in the final product... it is after all a cooperative experience. :happy:

[quote]
- How will difficulty levels be handled? ViceVersaMan
[/quote]

Difficulty in MP leverages the same systems we use for SP, though it uses different scaling factors (I believe).

[quote]
- Will Co-Op contain any spoilers for the SP campaign, or is it totally seperated? Phaedon
[/quote]

Beyond some of the enemy types, which might have specific reveals in SP - no.

[quote]
- Can we have multiples of the same class? Sir Ulrich Von Lichenstien
[/quote]

Yep!

[quote]
- Can we name our own characters, or will they just be generic race/class labels? Sir Ulrich Von Lichenstien
[/quote]

You can name them.

[Village_Idiot]

Nice post Mr. Holmes. Thanks.

[Fredvdp]

Glad it's not peer to peer. My network doesn't like that.

Damn.  Storm incoming.

That's why you're awesome Brenon. One day, somewhere, I'm going to buy you a beer

[The Elder King]

Thank for posting, Mr.Holmes. Could you say if there's the possibility to play with two people connecting on the same Xbox?

[IronSabbath88]

Some questions from me. If you don't answer them, it's cool.

- Can we play the co-op mode and not have it affect the singleplayer experience if we so wish?

- Is there any customization options with multiplayer characters planned (looks, armor, weapons, etc.)

- Will each Shepard have to have a different co-op connection or will they all be able to use the same assets?

Thanks

[Leonia]

As always, Holmes doesn't disappoint. Thanks for that, looking forward to more answers

[Myworstfear]

Who will we be fighting for? A mercenary group? I'm assuming it's not an army due to the racial differences and I hope it's not some random bunch of guys that all happened to be at the same place at the same time.

[Myworstfear]

Whoops, double post. Internet isn't very good in Afghanistan

[Reever]

Thanks for the answers!

@AlphaJarmel: If you can still do the MP missions solo in the final product, you can get those achievements without having to play online ;D

[JeffZero]

Brenon really came through. Thanks!

The Citadel Council has a multi race defense force.

[Someone With Mass]

If there are MP achievements, don't make them like this: "Play this and this with a total of four players", because I hate that with my poor internet connection.

Just make it some MP achievements where you have to do certain things on a certain difficulty.

Dis I like

[LGTX]

Since there aren't any campaign spoilers, and this type of multiplayer is a relatively new experience for Bioware employees...

See where I'm going? A demo maybe? Or a beta test?

[Blacklash93]

One question from me:

Will there be enemies other than Cerberus troops to face? Like Husks?

[-Skorpious-]

I have a question for a developer (nudges Breneon =p) -

Will local co-op be available for guests in Mass Effect 3 (i.e can a friend or sibling sign in as a temporary guest on my XBL account and play along with me)?

Best solution possible. Don't change it Brenon/BioWare. It allows anyone who doesn't like MP to still enjoy 100% of ME3 content (including co-op mission) as it's single-player game. Everyone's happy AND there'll never be a problem if/when co-op declines in popularity, you will always be able to play the missions even if you can't find any partner. Very very glad about this.

and hopefully you don't need to connect to the internet/xbox live if youre just going solo.
