This isnt a free for all fragfest, ME3 is a team based game. You need to worry about more than just your own ass, and you need to be a good team player as well as practice good sportsmanship. This is not a game about individual skills, who’s getting to the top of the leader board, and who’s getting killstreaks.
- 1st and foremost, Be Friendly! This sounds like an incredibly stupid thing to say. But so far, playing with Mass Effect fans has been a surprisingly positive experiance, compared to GoW, Halo, CoD ect. People have been friendly, quick to revive me, and helping each other out on how to play, character builds, even the controls so far. Lets keep it that way.
-Dont quit mid game! I cant say this enough, its a cardinal sin of team based games! Even if your fellow players aren't very good, be a good sport and finish the match.
-When a group is 1st forming up, dont make the rest of the lobby wait on you while you're screwing around in menus. Of course after a round or two is completed, its permissable to do some equiping and upgrading with the new goodies you bought. But if theres going to be significant menu time, or you have to be AFK for a bit, please drop out of the lobby, or tell us over the mike.
-If you're playing with a friend, please keep conversations in party chat instead of the group. We want to focus on calling out that phantom or turret, not hear about that crazy party you went to last thursday.
-With the exception of Vanguards and Infiltrators, dont go running off by yourself. Your team is unable to help you, you'll more than likely die, and your unable to cover and assist your fellow players, who are counting on teamwork. Krogans, do your thing but dont get too far away, you're less able to escape than a vanguard or infiltrator if you get in trouble.
-Revive your teamates if you can. It helps them get playing and enjoying the game again, and helps you by throwing up another gun. And very often, the person you revive ends up saving you.
-This ones a personal suggestion, but if you have the choice between hanging back and saving yourself while multiple teamates are bleeding out by each other, or taking out that last phantom or atlas at the end of the round, be a sport and go for the self sacrifice. Vanguards are great about this. (god bless those suicidal nuts) I just got impaled by a phantom raising up 2 squadies. At least i died a hero
-At the same time, dont get mad if somebody cant make it to you when you go down. Sometimes its just to far, or theres too many enemies. It sucks, but it happens. Sometimes we just cant get to you.
-Dont complain about "kill stealing" ME3 Multiplayer is a cooperative team based game, its about the galaxy's best coming together to defeat the reapers and accomplish the missions no one else can. Teamwork and getting through to extraction together should be the name of the game. And for those of you who really care about the stats, the points awarded for a kill are weighted on damage done. If you do most of the work, you get most of the points. Whoever gets the final bullet is largely irrelevant
-Its acceptable to request somebody change characters to balance out a team. Nothing wrong with politely asking for a sentinal or adept if theres 3 infiltrators in the party.
-Its not acceptable to complain about somebody playing a class that you personaly dislike. We all have our favorite characters that we want to have fun with. Dont hate on the vanguard just because you played with a bad one before, and dont start making Halo jokes if somebodys playing a human soldier. Unless they're funny jokes.
-Watch your buddies back. 2 Man teams work out great, you can pair long range/short range, defense stripping/damage dealing, ect and revive each other. Also, if your running with a partner, dont just leave him all of a sudden. Its not fun to think you have backup, only to turn around and find yourself alone. (and dying shortly after) Vanguards/krogan may seem invincible at times, but they can get overwhelmed, sometimes quicker than you think.
-Get to the evac zone. Its 3x more points for the team for a full extraction.
-Unless you make a prior arrangement with your party, dont bring low level characters out in Gold/Silver. You won't end up "powerleveling." You will end up dying, and gimping your team, which isnt fair to anybody.
-Please try not to swear either. Im not against it personaly, I swear like a drunken sailor at home. But online, you may be playing with people who get offended by it. More importantly, you might be playing with children. Not everyone who loves mass effect is in their 20s. I wouldnt want my kids learning new words for homosexuals and female anatomy playing a videogame, and it would royally suck if some kid had his game taken away because his parents heard a string of swearing coming through the TV.
-Remember you're playing on the internet, and people will have a wide range of views and opinions. Nows not the time to get into race, religion, politics, the moon landings or Ashley's new hair. Lets just play the game.
-Dont Freak out over hearing a womans voice. Its 2012. Women play videogames. Get used to it.
-The mic is not food, it doesnt go in your mouth.
-Finally, ITS JUST A GAME. Chill out, have fun.
- All experience & credits gains are pooled, everyone earns the same amount at the end. The scoreboard is just merely a way to see who was the best on the team (e-peen flexing). -Dezman8
- If there is a upload mission get yourself to the zone and help the upload. If it is an high value target, move as a group to the target especially if it is the Wave 10 high value targets. If people go down it doesn't matter, finish the missions since that's where the money is. - Sidney
-please be aware of turrets. ~ Sharrack
-I've seen a few posts lately requesting that
people not use kinect as a mic b/c it's causing an echo and annoying
everyone. This does happen for some people but the kinect itself isn't
the problem - it's not having your audio calibrated correctly. When
you do the audio calibration it will tell you to turn the volume up to a
"loud but comfortable level". Ignore that - crank it to 11, hold your
ears, and finish calibrating. When you turn it back down to a
reasonable level, that echo should be cleared up. Do your calibrations right, make Garrus proud, and don't be a vorcha with kinect! - Supergeek
note: Any good suggestions I'll edit onto the front page. If this turns into a good thread, I'll try to organize this post a bit more.

but it tastes so good. Why would it taste good if it wasnt food?
