I'm not complaining about the multiplayer, I'm wondering about the people playing it. Has anybody else noticed that these forums are a lot more aggressive than most other forums? You say one thing that somebody disagrees with and they all start ganging up on you and flaming at you. Are these the people that we want to play with? 

The people who played the demo: What was it like for you guys? Did the people on there seem friendly or helpful? 

Not only this, but what about trolls? There are people who will teamkill on most games just for the fun of it.  Is there team killing in the demo for multiplayer? 

[neubourn]

Its the internet. Been this way for oh...since the internet.

Havent had an issue in game, played with many cool people, and the rest...they just never talked anyway.

[xavim]

Yeah internet is well the net. I am sure most are like that since they are new on the forums since a large influx of people are here due to the demo. Yet in game I have not had any problems and the one time I was about to I turned my mic on and told them to chill.

[neubourn]

Oh, and to answer your question, no, there isnt team killing in the game, since it is Co-op.

However, if you do end up shooting a teammate, the character will say something along the lines of "knock it off" or "watch where you are shooting." You cant damage them, but its still funny to hear...makes you think "oops, my bad" or "well why the hell did you stand in front me right as i shot, you can clearly see this SNIPER rifle in my hands!!"

[MissOuJ]

No team killing. I did play with this one a**hole who let me get swarmed and then tried to solo the wave... on silver. I bailed. Other than that, I have had really nice time with everyone.

Then again, most people I've played with haven't had headsets...

I had two people bail on me in middle of a wave as I was pinned down and could not help them. They could not understand why I just did not run and save them when they had three people around and I had a altus on me.

Wave reset and I finished two more waves before getting killed. Was worth it.

You can't teamkill so there isn't a problem with that and I have not yet had a group where someone didn't at least try to pull their weight.

Griefing in this doesn't seem like a very viable thing to do, the worst thing someone could do is just not participate at all or suicide on purpose but I've yet to see that happen (with a lot of hours played).

As for friendliness over the voice chat, I've only met 1 person that was being immature (constant profanities etc) over chat but he got quiet when I carried him through a Silver game and just treated him as part of the team, he even said good game at the end.

Although this is on the PC, the consoles might have more problems due to easier access to mics and the whole CoD/Halo scene, hopefully they will just stay away from ME3.

EDIT: Oh yea and you can just mute voice chat if you want, it's not really needed until Gold and even thats possible without it.

I am a bit concerned, yes.

But I've accepted random co-op/multiplayer rudeness as par for the course. Therefore, if sufficiently annoyed, I will play obnoxious music over the headset (or just, you know, yell at stupid people).

Though... I haven't experienced any yet, thankfully, as I am currently lacking a headset.

My favorite is people who are dumb enough to walk in front of a turret, get downed, and then get mad that i didnt rush to revive them. Im like "dude....turret?" idiots.

Honestly, i think because ME is a mature game, and appeals to the older crowd (20's+), i havent come across many immature brats as i thought i would on Xbox. I figured because it was a free demo, all the lil Halo kiddies would be playing, but if they are...they arent using their mics. Most people either dont use their mics, or have been pretty mature (and usually big ME fans)

[Thoragoros]

I've only had one obnoxious guy. Other than, everyone has simply either stayed quiet.

As for people not pulling their weight. Hasn't really happened yet. I mean, you can tell when soemone is new, but new players is a good thing, means the game is popular.

[Triple0]

lemme put it this way, when you join my silver game as a lvl 6 character, i get mad

[Calibrationsssss]

characters will react if you shoot at your teammates, but no damage will be done.
Overall a fun experience. I only occasionally have to deal with incompetence or rookies.

Well, I don't know what other forums you go on, but BSN is pretty standard compared to most other forums i've seen. 

[cronshaw8]

the worst thing I've experienced is players who like to run all over the map and get themselves killed. I generally try to help but if they are swarmed or its a timed wave i let them bleed out. And i'd expect other people to do the same to me. I don't let it bug me. I sucks to not finish all 10 waves but it is still a blast. Sometimes it is more fun when you are the only one left and you need to beat the clock and then finish off the wave.

as far as agressive postings on the forum there probably will be a rise in these types of posts because it's multi-player and there are always going to be people who take it too seriously and rage on the people they feel "cost" them their Gold run

I've played with some cool people in the demo, most though don't talk at all..which is fine by me.

[MrAtomica]

I've had largely positive experiences so far. I try and use my mic to help lower levels understand exactly what's going on, and explain to them why I can't always rush to their defense. I have seen quite a few rage quitters and Cowboy Curtises, but they are usually replaced by helpful teammates. All you can do is be polite, pull your weight, and do your best. Common sense for some, masterfully difficult for others.

Honestly, text chat might ruin the courtesy to some extent. I find that people are horribly snarky to others over text chat more often than voice. Might be the anonymity factor, but it's definitely there. We'll see.

I've only played two matches, everything went well, people revived me when I was down, and I revived others, we all worked well as a team, one guy deactivating a device whilst the others provided cover, I was perched up above a team mate headshotting advancing Cerberus soldiers whilst he was reviving a fallen comrade. I use that word 'commrade' because thats what I felt like when providing cover... It was ****ing awesome.

But that was two matches, I've yet to encounter griefers...

[NeoVassal]

The only time I encountered any jerks was a guy who was level 13 in Bronze and loudly sighed and complained when level 1s tried to play with us. And he tried getting us to kick a level 1 who meekly replied he was trying out another character. I got so annoyed at the snob I left with the other person who was listening quietly with me. I wish I could've heard him after we both left.

But yeah, otherwise, barely anyone uses a mic (huge surprise for me - but I'm sure they'll be more when the real game comes out) and everyone helps each other out when they can. It's just hard sometimes when someone falls and a pack of enemies surround the body.

[Ricvenart]

Games themselves tend to seem friendly. The odd person rushing ahead just to claim all kills instead of say helping upload. Some will rush off get killed and then you will because you become completely surrounded with no one to watch your back or you die just trying to get them.

But nothing like what you'd expect from these forums, not remembering it's a new co-op demo, one which progress is lost in and feels they waste time with the unwashed unskilled masses.

Most people in multiplayer seem to be pretty friendly and cooperative in my experience.

And for these forums being aggressive ... you should pay a visit to the TF2 SPUF forum or the EAUK Battlefield 3 forum some time. The EAUK BF3 forums earned themselves the nickname "Mordor" because of the hate/flame/s***storm going on sometimes.

[Dakaned]

Most players I ran into don't use a mic and thats fine with me.

and the player that did happen to use his mic was raging at the team (bronze level btw) for stealing his kills and how we suck and are *********** and other colorful words that made me wish I could see who was talking in game so I could mute him

[MoogleNut]

I've played a couple of games and was actually really surprised, both with myself and the other players, in a good way I should add.

I'd never played any mp apart from the occasional pvp in wow and now swotor, and have found this to be surprisingly similar. Not really any chat (Certainly not from me, hate hearing my own voice over a mic ), apart from one guy giving us helpful advise.
We all just got on with the job, stuck together as a team and ended up running two successful missions in a row with the same team which was good - really felt the camaraderie. If it wasn't at the end of a tiring day for me I would've played more.

I'd only just started so was the lowest level, died more than the others but helped out as much as I could as well. Was in Bronze, and the other players obviously realised I'd just started so didn't give me any grief.
All in all I enjoyed myself more than I expected to and will certainly put more time in once March gets here.
