Hi Everyone, Evil Chris here.

I am stealing Derek's post to provide more detail on the upcoming Mass Effect 3 single player AND multiplayer demos. Jessica posted this FAQ in the ME3 News forum, but I think it should be here as well.

Mass Effect 3 will have a pre-release demo in January 2012. This demo will have both single player and multiplayer sections, giving fans a taste of what's to come on March 6, 2012. Be first to the front lines in the multiplayer section of the Mass Effect 3 demo! Redemption of the Online Pass for Battlefield 3 will unlock this early access. But
rallying for war is just getting started - in late November / early December, BioWare will announce other ways for fans to engage the enemy with their friends online from day one! 

 
What are the details of the Mass Effect 3 pre-release demo?

•The Mass Effect 3 pre-release demo will launch in January 2012 (exact date TBA).
•The demo will include both single-player and multi-player sections.
•The demo will be released in all regions where the game is

How can I get early access to the multi-player portion of the Mass Effect 3 demo coming in January 2012?

•Owners of Battlefield 3, on any platform, who activate their Online Pass will automatically be granted early  access to the multiplayer portion of the Mass Effect 3 demo. There is no need to enter any other codes, the early access will be applied to the EA Account associated with the Online Pass.
•This applies to all regions where the demo is released (to be announced)
•The exact date of the demo launch will be announced in late November
•There will be another program whereby players and fans of the Mass Effect  franchise can unlock this early access (with no purchase necessary) – this will also be announced in late November or early December.
•There will also be a tool posted on www.masseffect.com allowing players to check if their EA account has been granted the early access.
•The length of the early access period is TBA.
•The single-player section of the demo will be available to all players on day one of the demo launch.

As mentioned, we will have more information and dates in the near future.

Hey gang,

Hopefully this is clear from the info Chris, Derek and Jessica posted today - but I'll just repeat it for clarity. I'm seeing a bit of dismay about "having to buy bf3 to get the early demo", which is not the case.  To recap:

- the demo will be both singleplayer and multiplayer.
- the single player portion is available to everyone on day one of the demo.
- if you are a BF3 owner who has redeemed online pass, you will have early access to the multiplayer section.  This works across platforms because it is based on your EA account. So if you buy BF3 on PC, yes you can play the MP demo early on xbox 360 (as an example).
- as the FAQ states - there are other, fairly painless and *no purchase required* ways for you guys to get the early access as well (and maybe some other goodies...). We just aren't ready to roll that out until ~ early Dec.  Stay tuned, it should be pretty fun. I hope!  And no, it's not limited to X-hundred people or anything like that. You'll see.
- and the demo will be spectacular

Spread the word, stay positive, talk to you later!

Regards

Jarrett

Yeah I sort of got that part, but didn't know if they were referring to the public or early access. Hopefully the early access is in December. That'd be nice.

Happy to clear this up:

The demo is one big download, with two sections playable in it.

- Single player section, which is active immediately
- multiplayer section, which is inaccessible (thing of a menu item greyed out) unless your EA account has the early access flag. If you do, it will be selectable/playable. We havent announced the length of the early access period.
