Well we can still fight the Geth even if they're allies in SP, or we killed them. I don't see why we can't fight collectors?

To all those claiming that the Collectors do not exist anymore, may I point you to the codex entry Reaper Wars: The Miracle at Palaven. Collectors are officially present, so they do still exist in some form.

Collector SWARMS. AKA the swarms of insect-like things that were used to paralyse the colonists on Freedoms Progress, Horizon, and countless other colonies. Not the Collectors themselves.


I was assuming that that was simply the collective noun for Collectors, since the probes were generally refered to as Seeker swarms in ME2. Also, even if they're only the seekers, I see no reason why they'd have survived whilst the Collectors themselves died.

The whole Empire wasn't aboard the Death Star...no reason to think all the Collectors were aboard that base, just the leadership...their cruisers are HUGE, so there could be thousands left roaming around getting into trouble.

Who cares if they don't exist anymore. They would still be fun to play against.


I concur. 

This is what I think of Mass Effect story (I do like the setting, however.)
got ME3 for Multiplayer because Demo was a blast to play.

Seriously, back in the days CD-ROM emerged is where cinematic/story telling forged into gaming and nearly died. I play my games for fun, for gameplay.

Games = Gameplay
Movies = Story

Call me a retard, I don't care :D 

OMG MASS EFFUX ENDDING 3 IS SUCK I AM IS GOING TO PROTEST EA OFFICE HOMOSEXUAls!11!1!!!!!

And the only ship of theirs that was known about was the cruiser destroyed by the Normandy at the start of the suicide mission?


This point is contradicted by James' background- remember, his team destroyed a Collector vessel during an attack on a colony. He mentions this during his visit to Shepard's cabin, as I recall.

Neither do the Reapers. Or Cerberus. Or Geth "heretics".

Neither should humanity, after the number of Cerberus troops we've killed. I mean, think about it: If we killed 3 million Brutes in one weekend, how many human Cerberus troops have we killed since launch? We will definitely pass the entire galactic human population eventually at this rate.


Trillions!?!?!?!?!?


Frantically searching online for how many humans have been killed in multiplayer over entire run of Halo 3…

EDIT: According to Bungie.net, there have been over 1.9 billion Halo 3 multiplayer games played. I guess I overestimated. Please resume with extinguishing Cerberus.

Don't forget that the vast, vast majority of these H3 games are 50 kills per game, so it's closer to 20 billion dead. 

As far as exterminating humanity in ME3 goes, we only have a couple dozen colonies, a petty few of which prolly even approach 1 billion.

WE CAN DO IT.

Any new races / maps they release will probably tie in nicely to singleplayer DLC content to make it fit in the story.

e.g. we get an Omega SP mission, and an Omega MP map, and maybe a new class: "Batarian merc" or something less rubbish.

So if we have the collectors, they will have to come back as enemies in SP. Which is unlikely to happen imho. Would nullify the accomplishments of ME2.

If Bioware wants it, they will find a way to squeeze it into the lore. Look at Javik, Prothean who conveniently survived 50,000 years in a stasis pod. I'll bet if Bioware wanted to, they could add other smaller collector bases into the storyline.

No buying new maps/enemies

It fractures the community. It is literally the dumbest move any MP game can make.


Agreed.

New races, guns, etc? Fine. However the maps should also be accessible to all players, otherwise there simply won't be as many people playing them.

Why wouldn't they add a new enemy type? The longevity of this game's MP isn't going to be extended with only character, weapon, armor unlocks...

If your honestly whining about having to pay for maps because it will alienate the MP community since it's not big enough...well...your in a world of hurt because majority of players will indeed pay for new enemy types and maps because that freshens up the "experience" and gameplay.

And introducing Collectors will not be difficult. Just say there's a small pocket of them that existed and are out to kill Javik in SP and then use that logic to bring them to MP as an enemy type...walla.

Gameplay trumps plotholes in terms of MP fun.

I really did not expect the Collector Base to only have ONE ship, so maybe there are still vessels out there.

I absolutely love the idea of Collectors being an opponent in MP. It would be a nice addition to the game and it would be fun to find out which classes and weapons and equipment works best against them.

Quoting something I posted like a week ago that relates:

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but I think the following enemies could be added to multiplayer:

These enemies I know have little/no tie in with ME3's story (and you can ally with the merc groups)but it would be insanely fun to play against them. Maybe fighting these dont give you War %

Collectors: Drone, Assasin, Scion, Praetorian, General (controls seeker swarm)
http://masseffect.wi...wiki/Collectors

Blue Suns: Trooper, Legionaire, Pyro, Commander, Engineer
http://masseffect.wi.../wiki/Blue_Suns

Blood Pack: Vorcha Trooper, Warrior Krogan, Pyro, Boom-Squad
http://masseffect.wi...wiki/Blood_pack

Eclipe: Engineer, Commando, Vanguard, LOKI and YMIR Mechs
http://masseffect.wi...om/wiki/Eclipse

I suddenly thought of all the lovely security mechs in ME2 and think they'd make a nice MP enemy.

We could have the basic loki, fenris and ymir mechs, and maybe some new ones like a mech with a shotgun.

Also I demand assuming direct control for collector enemies.

Agreed. That's another reason why bringing new enemy types in will freshen the experience.

I don't think Blue Suns, Blood Pack, and Eclipse enemies will work UNLESS you combine them as one enemy type...maybe like a "mercenary" enemy type that's out to kill Shepard for some unknown reason before Aria's Omega take back.

Collector's is a no brainer though since you have all sorts of enemies from in your face drones, annoying scions that make you need to roll, and the "bid baddy" as the praetorian and the "phantom" equivalent as Harbinger.

I think it would be great to fight against the Collectors once again. Regardless of Mass Effect canon, it would be nice to have them included in MP to spice it up. I'm a little tired of these Cerberus guys yelling "Damn!".

Still the possibility of Collectors, Mercenaries, Mechs and so on have been discussed again and again. No doubt in my mind that in time it will come true. Personally, I think the MP was kept a little sparse to ensure that money could be made with DLC.

@MasterMenace- Why wouldn't they work exactly..? Just because you unite them under Aria doesn't mean 100% of the group(s) are on board with it. And each group has a good reason to want to get revenge on shepard from ME2. Also MP isnt about shepard, its about the special forces. It could work like the Special forces are sent in to recover reaper intel, on a mercs territory and the mercs try to defend it.
