You can play the co-op missions solo, technically.



good enough for me ;), thanx for the heads up


No problem. If you'd like official confirmation, check out the Multiplayer FAQ thread helmed by Bogsnot. Brenon Holmes confirmed it. :happy:

Give it up Killjoy...regardless of how many times we post Casey's 'own' words...they fail to see the difference and would rather just belittle you or post cute pictures instead :)


I understand basic logic. You don't.


For the others...drive from Manchester to Norwich, even Google it on maps, or use MS Autoroute...and I guarantee you, optimal and best are two different routes...I know, I do it 5x yearly.


Dictionary sources disagree with you.

That's because he's an outright liar.

Wow. Online pass announced for ME3's multiplayer?

What a surprise!

I am genuinely shocked.

/sarcasm


Online pass is so you can play ME3 Co-Op online, most games have them. For people who buy use copies will have to pay like 10 dollars for one.  


Yet another reason for EA to demand an MP/online "feature" for ME3. 


But you dont have to buy the game new to get the online pass, for explain Mortal Kombat 9 has the online pass and you can buy that online where the dlc is at.  It will work the same way Cerberus Network worked with ME2, if you buy it used you will have to pay for it.


It means that used copies won't be able to access the MP "feature" unless the new owner buys an Online Pass, right?  It's a way for EA to squeeze a little out of the used games market that they hate so much.

Now do you perhaps see the difference? Again, maybe Casey needs a better PR rep to write his blurb, or think more carefully about how he says something. He never said, optimal in MP...his words as Killjoy has repeated again for you were...better....NOT optimal in MP.

And with that, I'm out of this thread, as again, my only concern has been answered.


You and Killjoy post that quote multiple times as some sort of proof that SP will not give the best possible ending. Unfortunately you both never explain it in a clear concise manner and then you expect to not be argued? No life doesn't work like that. Actually explain your point and post more than one quote as evidence or GTFO.

That's because nothing he said is the truth.

He is an outright liar.

Slick bit of PR spin though, I'll give him that.

I am hopeful that this will turn out as well as the MP in Brootherhood did. Even if it is close it will be good enough for me. So long as it doesn't affect the SP story beyond increasing the readiness level.

Can't wait to hear more. The info in the FAQ thread indicates we will have a LOT of customization options, which should be cool.

PR speak be damned, unless Casey Hudson makes that drive five times yearly and thus enters into this bizarre state of misunderstanding a word's actual definition, he's probably more inclined to go with the actual definition of the word than Fenderbaum is.

One thing that confused me, was when Casey responds to the concern that by adding MP they are taking away what could be applied to SP, he never answers the question. I fully expected him to say that's not how it works or ME3, despite MP, is still bigger and better than previous games or something along those lines. But he doesn't. He just starts talking about how great it is that ME now has MP. Seeing how this is one of the biggest concerns, I'm surprised he didn't take this opportunity to quash it w/ a straight answer.

Can someone please answer this, I have posted on twitter and I have not got a response.

From what I have heard co-op ONLY helps raise the readiness bar to the max which can also be achieved in singleplayer and does not give alternative endings dialog, cinematics etc to the singleplayer?

So far, that's all they've indicated that co-op will do and that it is possible to achieve the best ending strictly through single-player. Far as we know, co-op does not lead to exclusive single player content...yet.

>Being able to explore and fight alongside your friends in the Mass Effect universe has always been something we thought would be fun and compelling, and many players have asked for it for a long time as well.

This is an outright lie. The majority of players want the game to remain single player.


Um, you're aware of the distinction between "many" and "majority", right?  Get thee to google if not.  While you're there, might I suggest searching for ME multiplayer requests using the date range function?  Because they really do exist, and have done for about as long as ME has.

>We have always maintained that we would only add multiplayer into the Mass Effect series if it made sense and did not compromise the power of the single player campaign.

This is also an outright lie as MP compromises the SP campaign every single time.


Um, no.  See, they're making a claim about what they have said in the past.  You're making an entirely different claim about what is and is not possible with respect to implementing multiplayer.  It's also one you really ought to substantiate.

>Our priority and focus with Mass Effect 3 has and always will be to deliver a complete and satisfying single player experience.

This is yet another lie, as the experience is now incomplete with resources being taken away from the SP to work on the MP, and the SP experience being directly affected by the MP.


OK, starting to sense a bit of pattern here with the whole "unsubstantiated assertion" thing.

>What if I don't like multiplayer - will my experience be negatively impacted?

Of course it will - but Bioware will never admit it!


See above.

>We can't comment on specifics right now, but can confirm that we are planning on having DLC for Mass Effect 3.

Of course they will! Selling more DLC MP map packs is the reason why they added MP in the first place!


See above.

This is nothing more than damage control, just like DA2. If you have any brains, do not believe these outright lies.


Aaaaaand closing on an appeal to vanity: you don't want to be stupid do you?  Of course you don't!  So just believe everything I say because, well, I said so! I'm totally not obviously, transparently biased or anything!

 Join your friends in the all-out galactic war to take Earth back. The universe of Mass Effect expands with the addition of new co-op multiplayer missions, playable over Xbox Live, PSN and PC internet. Players can choose from a variety of classes and races, form an elite Special Forces squad, and combine their weapons, powers and abilities to devastating effect as they fight together to liberate key territories from enemy control. Success in multi-player [WILLHAVE A DIRECT IMPACT ON THE OUTCOME OF THE SINGIL PLAYER CAMPAIGN,] giving players an alternative method of achieving ultimate victory against the greatest threat mankind - and the entire galaxy - has ever faced.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             can we play multiplayer with no impact on singil player?

Brenon Holmes has officially confirmed solo play is technically allowable for co-op in Bogsnot's thread. Pass it on.


Oh, great! Now I feel much better about multiplayer:) Thanks for telling!

It's also rather dishonest to keep deliberately ignoring the context.  There's a term for that: quote-mining

That is why I can't necessarily be bothered dealing with the idiots on here half the time.

Prove to me that that there are more people who want MP in Mass Effect than those who want it to remain SP, and I won't make another post on here. Too bad you can't, because it's not the case.

Any game that has previously been single player and had MP added to it is example enough.

Anyone with common sense wouldn't be pro-MP anyway.

I think it's just story missions with your friends the, 2 stories will probably intertwine, because that is the shuttle the little boy was in at 1:17. Maybe they're some specters, or an Alliance military group of some sort

Prove that Didy claimed that there are more people who did want MP than who didn't.

Edit: Seriously your debating practice is so childish. It is basically if you like MP then your big stupid head!

There's no need for name-calling, it's just a game at the end of the day.
