Aw great! >:-( (In a annoyed tone) Now ME3 will just be like other shooter video games with achievements only exclusively at multiplayer mode, just like Killzone and Resistance! Now I hope that multiplayer mode dosen't f'd up! I'll be watching the forums here. Image IPB

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

That thread was changed from "Will Origin be required to play ME3?" to "Will Origin be required to play ME3, now that Multiplayer has been confirmed?"
The link was provided pertains to Origins requirements for ME3 co-op. If you want an general Origins discussion thread, go elsewhere.


ATTENTION ORIGIN DISCUSSION PEOPLE

I'm the Origin topic starter. Someone suggested I change the title to include multiplayer. Maybe I shoudln't have, in retrospect.

In any case, I asked Woo about it. He said the Origin topic was off topic as well for this forum. I don't agree with his reasoning, but there you go.

Bogsnot1's comment is 100% correct. THIS THREAD IS NOT THE PLACE TO DISCUSS ORIGIN

I don't care about Achievements and thus I don't care what it takes to get them. I know that over the course of several playthroughs I'll wind up with them all and that's more than enough for me. :)

If Origin is off-topic to this forum, I take it as a confirmation Origin won't be required for ME3 at all. Up to devs to correct me if I'm wrong.

I guess some people want to get every achievement? I don't rewally care either. I skipped achievements for 'insanity' runs, because I don't really like playing on the harder difficulties. I'll likely skip the multiplayer achievements too.

- 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.

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.


But we'll probably have to sign onto xbox live to redeem the code and download this content. This is pretty bad news for me since I have no way of using xbox live whilst at university. Awesome.

In case questions can still be asked, I want to know this:

Do I need XBox Live Gold even when I want to solo through the co-op?

- 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.

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).

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

[/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.
[/quote]

This is fantastic news Brenon, thanx! 

Also I know this may be a question already, but will we able to use bot allies in case there arent enough people? =P  

Anyways, great news I am now that much more excited for Mass Effect 3 |:D

...well, almost all. Stil, this is a nitpick compared to the above.

How robust will the multiplayer CC be? As robust as the SP CC? I really want to create an asari or turian to my own specifications...

I want to shoot with no. You don't need Gold to play Horde/Firefight locally.

The war asset's are only a currency like number tracked through single player which can reach number high enough to do everything in single player alone . The co-op war asset's number is added to single player war asset number if choose to play co-op but if choose not to play co-op and those two numbers do not get added together. The actual co-op does not in [any] way infringe on single player at all which includes cinematics, dialogue or missions etc through the entirity of the single player game other than this "war asset" number? Once reach point in game that requires spending of these assets, players in single player get given choice of how to spend or is it done without consent?

Is this all correct and what is the answer to last question.

I'm not so sure, though I'm no expert on MP on the Live.
If it could be player without the Gold and with a friend split screen, I'll surely try it.

Same here. I'm just shooting with my experience with other MP. Hopefully there is a split screen format.

Does that mean it'll be next to impossible to complete the missions solo unless we have team mates? :S

Allied bots would help with that and I wonder what the difficulties are....

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.

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.
