Remember how we should -really- hate it? Desires for speculation got us a Cherry, Blueberry, Apple ending.
So instead of speculating about the Rebellion DLC (Seriously? Yahg?) let us use the evidence we have at hand to identify who and what the next three new races are.
- Nothing that doesn't have a vaguely human shape will ever make it into Multiplayer due to mechanics and collision map issues. Sorry, there never will be a Volus, Elcor, Hanar etc.
- This leaves certain races more likely then others. Quarian males, Vorcha, and protheans are the only humanoid race not added that COULD be added.
- There are already 13 human classes (including BF3). There won't be any more.
- No combat troops from cerberus survive interrogation due to the bombs placed in their heads by Cerberus. No powers that Phantoms have are translatable into a player character (aside from tactical cloak). If you had played the game where Jacob survived ME2, there is an entire mission where you rescue a large number of cerberus scientists... this is who BW referenced in their operation Silencer release.
- Multiplayer is only loosely based on Singleplayer. What if the player did not side with the Geth? the Quarians? What if Shepard killed Ballak? The story matters far less here then in SP. Expect the plot to get railroaded several times.
- Powers established for Protheans have been moved from Single Player reference files to Multiplayer reference files. This, combined with the very clear statement in the first major leak (that forshadowed Resurgence) that protheans were to be added to MP, puts the nail in the coffin. There will be two prothean classes, get over your butthurt and move on.
- The leak suggested Quarian Engineers and Infiltrators. Since we already have two quarians, it was suggested that it was a miscommunication, and they meant "Turians". However, some leaked pictures of a male quarian have been released, and they are -easily- the most wanted of the 'acceptible' races out there. This may be a situation where BW paid attention to the fans.
- Vorcha were mentioned in the leak, and then were all but confirmed (if you want to hold Resurgence to the same bar as Rebellion) with the silencer report.
Now, on to their possible powers.
The Quarians can have two possible power routes: The lazy human style where they have the same powers as their female counterparts, or entirely unique powers. I am personally expecting the same exact powers simply out of being the easier of the two routes.
Vorcha are likely to have blade armor like the Batarians and be heavily focused on close combat. It is also likely they will have some kind of regenerative power as well. I could forsee carnage there as well for the soldier.
Protheans are the easiest to expect. As a racial power, Dark Channel is the most likely since it is a perfect setup for a Biotic explosion with both Slam and Biotic Charge. What the third 'generic' power is.. who is to say?
