I have less than zero desire to hear BSNers speak. Its rough enough to read their posts


Ah, its not so bad. I've played with 3 BSNers so far, and they were all civil, and mostly mature. It seems you can tell a lot about a person by the way they post. Just gotta find the right people.

As someone who loves both singleplayer and multiplayer games, I'm surprised at the amount of "positive" reception this is getting. Maybe I shouldn't be, since this is the bioware forums. After 5 minutes I knew I'd never touch it again (exact same impression I had with Bioshock 2 and Dead Space 2 MP). I really am wondering why they even bothered.

This is crap, and it is our duty to tell them so. I am very curious as to how it will effect the critical reception.

LOL, so there's no other way to get early access to MP? that's so not fair.

It's not the fact that people enjoy it, it's that fact that every developer has to add some kind of multiplayer feature THINKING that it will make their game instantly great with perfect scores.

Just what the previous installments lacked.

Am I right?


Nor is it about "perfect scores" (review systems are a joke).  It's about a) expanding the player base and b)experimentation.  Yes, EA has a mp mandate for its games.  Fine, but BioWare could have turned around and put in some bare-bones and broken versus mode like what was done in Dead Space 2.  Instead, they put in something that was the closest they could practically get to Mass Effect.


I know, I was being sarcastic.

you should at least elaborate your statement a bit or most likely you will be considered as troll.

So if you have the early access from BF3 (which I do) is there still just one download? I only found one demo available and I wasn't sure if that was just the singleplayer one.

So why couldn't the early release of the MP happen 3 days before now. I read on this thread of people maxing out already. What those of us that didn't buy BF3 special sparkly edition? Why not have all of the demo open today?

Yes, its all in the same demo. It still lists "Multiplayer" in the menu, but, you have to connect to the EA servers to play, so for those who didnt have BF3, they cant connect yet. But if you did have BF3, just download the demo, then select "Multiplayer" from the menu and youre good to go.

So I played a few more matches last night, and this time with a full team compliment. It was a lot better with four players but the game still challenges you a lot especially in the later waves

And can I just say the people I played with were BSNers and I've never experienced such mature respectful and friendly players in any other multiplayer I've been on except this one. I was aprehensive at first to use my mic but ended up having a lot of fun. Hopefully this will continue, it just makes for SUCH a better game when you work together

Well, after playing for about 2 hours I have to say that the MP is alot of fun.  The combat is fast and playing as different classes and races is interesting. However, just like any co-op experience you need to have a squad of 4 that talk together.  In the begining it may be easy to just get kills and not work as a team; but, once objectives are sent out the mission needs to done together.  Anyways, I hope to find many of you to play with because its been hard to find 4 slots filled.  Take care and if anyone from Bioware is to read this I would like to say thank you for doing a good job with the MP and not just adding some cheap structure.

You don't need that.  It may make the experience more engrossing for some people, but it's not necessary for tactical play. 

In all of the games I played with three others, we worked pretty damn well together without even talking to each other.  I played mostly as a Vanguard and I charged head first into enemies, stripping defenses and whatnot, and there was usually one person who remained way in the back to pick off at a distance, a person following relatively close behind me to revive me as necessary, and another to take advantage of the chaos I caused.

Hell, the most tactically rewarding experience I had was with an Infiltrator with my Vanguard on Silver.  Just the two of us.  Lasted a good ten rounds.  I created a bigass distraction with Charge and Nova, he picked off enemies with the sniper and used tactical cloak to move in and heal me when I died.

And in another game, with a team full of people who weren't all that great and a class I wasn't quite used to yet (Adept), my team of rookies nearly beat the entire wave because they quickly realized that they could take advantage of my signularities, especially against the riot shield guys. 

Honestly, I think it's more satisfying when everyone just jumps in and knows what to do based on class and loadouts.  Much more rewarding than constantly shouting at people to do a certain thing.


All good points...I was just focusing on awareness on the battlefield...it doesn't hurt to have a mature squad (like some people have said on this forum) that don't need to yell and be rude.  Just helping by calling out certain enemies or annoying sentries (I have learned to hate those more then cloaked "phantoms").  However, you brought up one great point and that's if people don't know how to use their class it may hinder doing well on each wave.  In the end, everyone has a different playing style.  My experience leads me to like communication after playing games like "Battlefield" and once your in a great lobby joking around time moves by quick. Again this is only my opinion and appreciate the feedback.

I had the demo early so I got a few levels yesterday before I passed out. I've been playing as the engineer and I have to say it's a ridiculously fun game to play; better than expected actually. I really liked the gameplay, but unlocking things was a bit weird. Kind of a gamble everytime, when I want to get a new character it keeps giving me mods for a weapon I don't use. Other than that everything's great. Hoping to see the lot of you people this afternoon.

Ugh, can't believe people are enjoying this.



Oh no Bioware did something good.

I'm gonna go **** about it.


The reason why i **** about this because if this turns out to be good, then that means multiplayer has more of a focus in the future, and it also means that Bioware can add on another tacky multiplayer mode with more colours and explosions.

I hope this fails, because then it shows that adding multiplayer does not always make the game a success and instantly cool.

Seriously, every company is doing this just because it's the new craze, multiplayer is just being added on just for the hell of it.

This adding multiplayer is killing single player games. That is why I am so pissed off, if Bioware knows they can get away with it, then they will continue to keep doing it.

And if multiplayer gets a signifcant focus in the future, the single player content and quality will slowly diminish.

We also have ****tards complaining that the story is too complicated and so Bioware focus more on them than us original fans, gaming is falling apart.


theoratically that means multiplayer has more of a focus in the future. What I know is that Bioware did everything they could to keep the SP as the focus. Even in the achievements, you can get all of them only playing the SP. I prefer to believe that they will keep this ideology, and MP will evolve without putting a shadow over the SP.

 Singleplayer won't end. people still love history and experience, that include developers. Still, it's cool to play with friends in a universe you are involved by SP and learned to love. SP and MP aren't enemies, they been working together since ever, and you should be happy when a game suceed to do both without ruining itself.

 Let the future take care of itself. Today we have a good SP/MP experience. ME4 is another story.

As a PC player who never plays xbox more than a casual single player gamer - I picked up the xbox controller to give MP a whirl for a bit after a movie with the missus.

Three hours later I finally got off for a break.

It is really a lot of fun!

My box of goodies game me a salarian infiltrator - and let me tell you - their power drain ability is awesome against phantoms! Tactical cloak is awesome when you need to take high priority targets as well!

I've been having a hell of a time playing it - away from my general lack of ability with the xbox controller, the only places I have issue is if you don't get revived in time - you can end up getting stuck spectating for a few minutes - in some cases long enough to make you want to sign off. Admittedly this only happened a few times - but enough it irked me.

Generally you can get through waves 1- 6 without too much issue - after that though it gets tough. We only got all the way to extraction in one game out of about 6 I think.

Stick to your squad - lone guns die fast.

Vanguards, Vanguards, Vanguards....what can we say about Vanguards - they lead from the front - they force you to follow them - but the two maps we have access to make it not too much of an issue and if you want to win, you can't sit back, you need to follow the vanguard in your team...no matter how much of a pain in the backside it is! But it keeps it fast and fun.

Generally - really, really impressed with it. It feels balances, I haven't unlocked many weapons yet - but the ones I have feel pretty balanced. Team work is important, and tends to feel natural.

I am going to be spending lots of time in Multiplayer - which is totally unexpected.

It is - but the waves change it up.

You might have to take out specific enemies, hold a position while someone hacks something, re-activate several points around the map.

Even just against cerberus - your best laid plans can go out the window when two cloaked phantoms tear your squad to pieces or at Atlas lumbers up into the litlte room your squad is squatting in.

Its fast, its fun, it has a lot of team elements - the misison  lasts about 20 minutes give or take what happens, and the commentary and wave missions feel like you're doing more than just killing bots.

Its never going to be BF or COD team multiplayer - but its still pretty awesome and you never really feel isolated. Your sqad is never far away.

 It looks like Left 4 Dead Survival mode, or the last stage of the campaign maps. Sweet
