We have reached a consensus that the Geth should be available to play as in multi-player.

I have also created a Group for those that support this idea. If you would like to join, Click Here!

They match the galaxy at war perfectly, the Free Geth would be fighting the Reaper controlled Geth. No different than Humans fighting Cerberus.

There a a few slots open for new characters in all classes other than Soldier. (Since BF3 takes that slot.)
My proposition is that they add either a Geth Infiltrator, or a Geth Engineer/Soldier to the list.

Their passive abilities would be Overclock, and Upgraded Hardware.

Infiltrator would have Cloak, Energy Drain, and possibly a Decoy.

Engineer could have Geth Turret, Combat Drone, and Shield Drain.

Soldier could have Marksman, Overload, and Defense Matrix.

I have wanted to play as the Geth ever since I first heard Legion speak... 

Any claim that they don't fit and should not be added has a counter...

They don't match the lore! Geth are supposed to be the bad guys!

Yes they do match the story. There are 2 different types of Geth, the bad Reaper controlled ones, and the good Geth that are protecting themselves from the Quarians.

You will get them confused with enemies & have a hard time finding them when they go down if you fight the Geth.

If you have sufficent customization options then it will be no harder to find them than any other character, and also they would still have the blue glow around them that all players have, not to mention the giant floating nametags.

They will be to hard to animate, need new models, resizing, and would be impossible to add at this point.

If Bioware puts any effort into adding them, then they will transistion no worse than the Krogan size models. They can even recycle the same model used for enemy Geth but allow you to customize it with colors. Anything can be added at this point. DLC allows for anything other than major game changes and changes to the core mechanics.

We need to fix the story's ending first! Everything else can wait.

Most important is a steady stream of worthwhile DLC that actually adds to the game's replayability after single player has been beaten. Either in Multi-Player maps/characters or Single-Player add-on missions. In this day and age unfortunately single-player is dying out... as much as you don't like it, it is true. I would say that 60% of my friends bought ME3 mainly for multi-player after the demo.

So what do you think? Should we be able to play as Geth in multi-player?

That would be so confusing when fighting geth. I'd probably spend most of my time shooting at my own geth team member.

Did you read the bottom?

They would still have the blue outline.

I hardly ever notice a blue glow with all the other stuff going on. Would be way confusing.

I do the same with Krogans sometimes when fighting reapers. I run around a corner and omg...a cannibal, incinerate. Oops, that was a Krogan.

Well then there is no major difference.

"We do not intentionally confuse."

The awesomeness of playing as Geth will far surpass the risks of wasting ammo on friendlies.

Yes we need to play as geth this was one of my hopes when they announced multiplayer just add it in as dlc it will be worth the buy.

Yes, we would pay $20 for a DLC including Geth.

We do not wish to continue buying these mysterious Spectre packs however.

Their tendency of improbability is high.

Geth using sabotage on other Geth would be win :)

Indeed.

Using the reaper code tech that Shepard-Commander allowed us to upload might allow us to use this skill.

Actually when we or if we get a dlc for geth then I want to earn the right to play as a geth I feel that if we want an awesome character then we do something awesome to earn it

Freeing the Geth in single player should allow you to use them in MP in my opinion.

However, they will probably never do this since they can make money off of selling them as DLC/Spectre packs.

I was thinking something like beat gold with geth as the enamy but without a quarian infiltrator.

They don't fit everybody's lore, though. I've never even activated Legion. It will be a bit weird for friendly geth to start showing up.

There were friendly geth before Legion. In fact, Legion even says that the heretics make up only a small population of the geth. So, players actions towards Legion aside, pre- or post- upgrades, geth in MP would make sense.

This thread is full of win. BTW, it looks like at some point we'll get Geth and Batarians (http://social.biowar...3/index/9843582).

Thanks, we appreciate your contibution to this thread.

We do not wish to resort to viewing the link for the duotringintilionth time however... it will only make us sad.

We wish that the creators would confirm this rumor as soon as Gethly possible.

Also, the creators should add a "Overclock" skill in place of Adrenaline Rush. Further Gethifying the skills.

Maybe I let the Geth attack out the Quarians? Why do I have to have Quarians in my game? Heck, maybe I died in ME2, and the galaxy is already lost.

I think it would be a good idea to add more races to MP.

The problem is that usually the creators only release new characters after months of people saying they are bored with the game.

We think that the creators should release a more steady stream such as a season pass.

Geth are artificial. They (theoretically) cannot be biotics. Which makes sentinel a no-go flavor wise. I mean yah the sentinel in MP comes in Biotic/Mixed/Tech flavors (Human/Turian/Krogan) but Geth just don;t make sense as biotics.

Geth engineers and infiltrators however... Do want. w2p geth hunter
