Thought I'd throw this out here after reading some threads in this forum. I have played SP on all 3 Mass Effect titles, however I've yet to dabble in the multiplayer of ME3. I've decided with the new challenge announced this weekend I'd get involved in multiplayer. Is it too late to be getting involved in MP at this stage, are there many even still playing the multiplayer on Xbox? Does ranking up take long?

Having read some of the threads it would appear that crap teammates are definitely a gripe with a lot of people. I'm not bad with the controls of the game, but obviously there is a big difference between the SP & MP, & I'm guessing it will take some getting used to. With that said, are there any general tips for an MP beginner? Also, is someone with a low rank frowned upon in a lobby? I'm conscious there is a player kick option in the MP.

Sorry for all the Q's, wanted to get the opinion of people with the experience. Thanks.

Not at all. You can still find a game in less than a minute queuing up, well at least on bronze, silver, and credit-farming gold games.

The biggest piece of advice I can give, if you Quick Match into a game, make sure to set your search for Bronze Difficulty. Do not leave it on the default "Any". Showing up in a Gold game as a new player with a low level character and no good equipment is a good way to make yourself feel useless and make other players very upset.

Other than that, keep in mind that if you bleed out, you will be revived at the start of the next wave (lots of new players just quit when they die, thus losing out on any rewards for the match). And when there's a Hacking objective, go into the circle with the other players. The rest you should figure out pretty quickly. There are tons of people playing on XBox, so it shouldn't be hard to get into it.

And successfully completing just a single Bronze difficulty game will rank a character up from level 1 to 6.

I joined a month ago - it'd take ~10 games to get a character up to 20 maybe, on Bronze (lowest difficulty).

It's a lot like the SP except you get many enemies coming in waves and teammates.

Not too late at all, never have problems finding games, you may not get weapons quickly (I paid for some packs over time) - but they just released updates to it in the last week, so if Bioware feels good about releasing DLC for the MP then it must still have a pretty good crowd, and it doesn't cost more than the Xbox Live you probably already pay for?

Come in and have fun

Not too late for multiplayer. Leveling up is fairly rapid and if you buy supply packs from the store - real cash or earned in game credits- you get character development cards. Looks like the challenge for the weekend is silver, which a newbie (me, for example) might find challenging but there have been many kind offers of help and support from the community. Lots of threads with tips and tricks, just do a search through this forum.

[FFLB]

Just start out with Bronze difficulty games. Buy the basic Recruit pack until those weapons are maxed, so that you'll at least have your basic weapons at maximum effectiveness.

[TheAdventurer29]

First of all, get used to the difference: go to quick match and set for bronze. stick with the team and have fun.

Second, upgrading takes quite some time, like two or three weeks depending on how fast u adapt and have good friends to suceessfully compete in gold.

Third, come to this site often and ask for teammates. I am on PS3 and so I can't help you!

Then, when u are playing with good players, ask for tips and tricks and be humble. A lot of people like me will be happy to help because they feel like a boss.

Start on bronze and have fun. Read these forums and experiment for yourself. Don't get discouraged; everybody started at the beginning. Not too late at all.

[ParthianShotX]

Also, I have yet to be kicked but I pretty much stick to bronze.

[Morning Elf]

When you search for a game, just remember to set it to bronze difficulty. It defaults to "Any", which means you can get thrown into a Silver or Gold match.

Just start playing, and have fun. It's possible you may get kicked from some lobbies, but people kick for all sorts of stupid reasons that have nothing to do with you. Don't get upset by it.

If you run into trouble, there are a lot of people here willing to help out.

^This. I absolutely love playing with new players on Bronze. I like to help people level up, I'm not the type of competition-crazed guy that won't let new players shoot at anything without feeling the need to kill it faster, and since I can solo Bronze anyway, if things go horribly wrong at least you have one guy on the team that will almost definitely finish the wave for you and get everyone back into the game.

Edit: I am on the XBox as well, with the same Gamertag as my BSN name. Drussius.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes helping the new players out!

[HEEGZ]

Don't worry about a late start. The MP is awesome, and better late than never. It is so much fun playing different races, classes, and mixing up your guns and gear. You are really missing out if you don't start today!

[edit]
Quick tip: play bronze for a few matches until you get the hang of things. Then play silver all weekend for the event.

I'm on the Xbox too and, if you don't mind playing with another new player, would be happy to team up with you.

[Ramazon7]

Not to mention that we really need some fresh blood. Over time the players who finished hoarding all the stuff will quit and it's going to be harder to get a game.

We need you for the Galaxy War!

[ABjerre]

Are you still here? Log on and join a game on bronze difficulty!

My best advice is to try out different classes. They level up quite fast, so its not much of a "starting over" and there is quite a lot of diversity between them. Once you get aqquainted with the game and have build up a decent armory and skill set you can try and advance to silver difficulty, but leave gold for when you feel that you master at least one class.

People tend to not take kindly to new players in their gold lobbies - be it justified or not.

Same here! My one and only pet peeve on the subject is when players (new or old) refuse to heed my (always polite) requests to get in the Extraction Zone as the final wave is winding down to the last 15 seconds or so.

And so on that note, one more piece of advice for new players: Get in the extraction zone before the timer expires on wave 11! When anyone is outside of the LZ when the timer runs out, it means you lose out on 10,000xp. Full extraction is worth 15,000. Partial Extraction: 5,000. Three or four extra kills just isn't worth what you lose by staying out there to get them. And you can shoot stuff from inside the zone.

MP is alive and well on the Xbox for sure.

Click my sig if you're looking for a group to play with---v

[scheherazade]

If after the first day you like it and plan on playing a lot more of it ... drop $20 or $30 on PSPs.

It'll give you a decent shot at getting good weapons/equipment right off the bat.

Looking back, I would have done it...

(assuming you've got a 'grown up' job and $30 won't matter...)



P.S.
Use a human sentinel if you want to skip ahead to harder difficulties before getting good weapons/gear.
Just warp/throw spam your way to victory.
Spec warp/throw a full 6 levels, and select biotic explosion damage whenever available.

Anyone who is looking for someone to help them out with some games can shoot me a friend request on the XBox. I may not always be free to jump into a game at any given time, but I'm on there playing ME3 MP an awful lot... Some would say I'm a bit obessive about it.

[Deek2099]

Welcome to the fun like others have said u need help just send out a FR there are plenty of us who just enjoy playing and will help anyone
XBL: We R Venom2099 (if u want someone to team up with)

[Docwagon1776]

Leveling up is quick and if you stick to Bronze and don't try to jump into Silver or Gold before you are prepared and equipped for it you'll likely find a good community to play with.

I played through the entire SP campaign before jumping on MP. Its not like CoD where you are at a huge disadvantage if you don't start leveling and learning the maps as soon as possible. Much easier learning curve, and of course fighting AI is easier to learn to counter than real people.

[Meatiershower]

Jump in and have fun! Listen to these guys and you'll do fine. Most importantly, just enjoy yourself and not get intimidated because you're not sure what is going on at first. Pick a buddy in the game and stick to him. You'll learn the different objectives quickly then. If he is shooting one way, check the other way. Something will usually be coming from there too. PM me if you need more 360 players. Always willing to help out the newer guys.

[robarcool]

All I can say is the MP community isn't dead yet. You will find plenty of matches. Just don't start directly in gold, for you will most likely end up getting kicked. Start with bronze, get the hang of it, then move to silver and then to gold.
