I really wish the character unlocks wouldn't happen trough these boxes randomly.

It would be better if your overall level would just unlock them or something.

It's awful. No one is missing anything. You'd play it a few times but that's about it. I'm just confused as to why this is even in the game for. We don't need it. The Demo is only the 'horde' mode, which sucks. Doesn't even feel like you're playing Mass Effect. I can only speak for myself but one of the key features of the main game, especially getting through the harder difficulties, is the ability to pause and use your powers. Of course in co-op this is out of the question, which, for someone who uses that feature ALL the time, it's frustrating. It seems a really pointless addition, is this what Bioware has really brought to the table to try and win the FPS crowd? O_o

@Minos Bioware has always focused on single-player narratives with the occasional multiplayer feature making an appearance and I don't think that's changing anytime soon. And one of my former favorite companies, Square-Enix, is suffering badly from it's attempts at multiplayer AND it's recent track record for bad stories (ever since XII for me!). I think you already have youre "example".

Final Fantasy may be mainstream in Asia but Western games are more popular here. You need a big company, such as Bioware to fall flat on their face. Harsh but it's enough to send vibration among the developers to show that multiplayer can destroy a game.

Where did you get your time machine? I want to see the future too.

But seriously, I see where you are coming from. ALL of the MP aspects from EA these days are purely there so they can tack on the online pass. However, if we say "No" to multiplayer all together, it'll only lead to stagnation. I was firm set against MP in ME3, but after hearing and seeing more I'm all for it. If a company tanks due to introducing a MP element they diserve it, but making Bioware your scapegoat is unfair.

He's not interested in actually analyzing it.

He's interested in being the only sane man in an insane world. Maybe he'll have a small group of like-minded friends with him. You see the same thing with conspiracy theories -- they're not looking for widespread acceptance and never will. They're looking for people to pay attention to them.

This is a similar situation, although drastically reduced in scope and importance. He can predict doom pretty much forever, regardless of how this game actually shakes out, because he'll continue to move the goalposts. That's why he didn't start with "I don't like multiplayer and here are my specific reasons, but it's OK if you like it". He started with "Ugh why do people like this".

(He thinks he's better than you)

Yes! I knew multiplayer would be good. I can't wait to play it. Can we be a Turian in the demo or are we stuck as human?

 Not sure repeating your assertions on BSN is going to change the industry King Minos

 Feel free to vent of course, but don't expect to even change people's minds, mine is set for now

@King Minos: While I do disagree with you (if a good multiplayer mode can be added without compromising the integrity of the game, I feel it should), you are correct that there is definitely a trend towards just randomly hucking them into games without thought.

Unfortunately, the real problem is that this trend has been going on for quite a while now and plenty of games HAVE tanked as a result. Big studios put out crap all the time and don't fold because... well. When you just huck crap in, you aren't devoting that many resources to it and thus the loss is that big. That and, well. The industry on the whole doesn't learn very well.

So, while I can understand you wanting to take a stand against the industry, the problem is that your wish is pretty unlikely to ever crop up.

Are the credits you earn attached to that particular character or are earned into a common pool?
(I.e., if earn creds as solider, can I spend them on my infiltrator?)

I strongly suspect that it's tied to that particular character. I don't know for certain.

Halo wasn't ruined by MP, the story retained its greatness all the way through , granted that Halo 1 was best, MP doesn't ruin games, only when it the only thing focused on.

Too bad you don't like it.

I've always enjoyed good coop action with my friends. Even with randoms I found this game to be fun. It's not for everyone obviously, just like Mass Effect isn't for everyone either.

Yup, you just need to unlock it.

I just watched a streaming vid of a krogan Soldier blowing apart a Nemesis sniper with Carnage, while his Vanguard friend zoomed across the field and Charged directly into a Ceberus solider landing, sending him flying off a platform and killing him as he fell off the map.

I. WANT. THIS. GAME. 

Different combos that you can accomplish with other players is really satisfying. Had 4 krogans fighting in the same match and it was awesome.

Whenever I see Minos post I know not to read it. He's clearly going to buy the game and probably even enjoy the multiplayer just let him whine about crap no one cares about.

I stated that i am well aware that my posts in the past were trollish and immature.

But this 'crap' will dilute your single player experience in the future. And this is why my posts are always miserable about multiplayer.

Your probably ignored this so i am not going to waste my time with you.

It ruined Halo 2 and 3 for me.

The levels in those games are straight pipes without room for imagination, guns are balanced for multiplayer, health is made rengenerate and Master Chief takes less hits than Marines (without his shield), not to mention you are given just few clips instead of loads of clips like in Halo 1.

It's clear that they focused so much resources for the MP.

But I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[RocketManSR2]

No, you can't pause the action, but instead of b****ing about that, why not use the MP to get better at combat? I have every intention of keeping the MP and SP separate, but getting some combat practice in is never a bad thing.

@King Minos : I've noticed the 'trend' your talking about but its been this way since the days of Unreal Tournament. Hell, before that. Games liked to tack on MP in an attempt to get more people into it but it's never really worked out that way.

Hell Half-life tacked on MP 'after' the game was shipped and the only reason anyone ever actually play that online was the MP only mods, Counter Strike and Day of Defeat and whatnot. Trend or not ME3 isn't going to change it. IT's been that way for a long time, BioWare isn't going to somehow make it infinitely more worse. And the only reason they wanted this long for MP (as it was something they waited for ME1) was needing a second team to handle it so the single player didn't suffer.

Now, that all aside, I've actually noticed a mildly more amusing trend of some MP only games trying to add single player in. BF3 is a good example actually. That campain was kinda... bleh. Would of been better off sticking to there original formula, keep Bad Company for there single player game line.

Either way I think your spouting a bit to much dooms-day nonsense which is clouding what your trying to get across. And also praying ME3 fails just so other companys take note? Sorry but no. I don't give a damn how bad you think MP is, but praying they fail horribly just to stop your askewed view of how ****ed up things will get (even though its been this way for a long time) just... You need to re-think your posts a bit more.

how does AR work now?

You get damage boost and later you will get more protection while it's active.

I do believe you unlock the different aliens by purchasing "packages" in the store. There was one for 5000CR and one for 20,000CR. I suspect the more expensive gives you a better chance at something good. I did get a handy 1 shot rocket launcher out of the 5000 one that came in handy against the Atlas.

Do you have BF3? If not, that's why.

Did you purchase BF3 and redeem the online pass? Are your PSN and Live account under the same Origin account (i.e. email address)? i don't know if that last one matters, but mine are.
