Krogan don't regenerate HP.
Medi-gel somehow repairs Geth.
Turians can roll behind cover but can't outside of cover.

...But it's cooperating enemy races that bothers you lore-wise?

Too OP I say, other troop realise how important that base is and are trying to take it. As for them no attaking the current enemy: The enemy of my enemy is my friend... for now.

This thread is asinine. The MP patch fits the lore perfectly:

1) Earth's elite are defending Earth. These are the Alliance's baddest of the bad.

2) Platinum difficulty makes sense since no matter WHAT single player ending you pick, it is clear that the Illusive man was Indoctrinated and controlled by the Reapers. The Legion VI confirms that Reaper code was keeping the Geth running when you invade the Dreadnought. So the Geth were controlled by the Reapers as well. It is not a stretch. There's no holes to fill in. Platinum difficulty makes sense. And it makes sense in the context of how powerful these new classes appear to be. You could very well see them aligning to take over Earth, probably because the most powerful being in the Galaxy, Sheppard, is from Earth, and there's all sorts of other back stories tied to genetic human variation compared to Asari or Quarian or Turian.

3) If they decide to add a Prothean, that is completely fine. Javik is essentially a moron. He could not disclose technology for us nor could he explain pretty much anything. The existence of other Protheans (since it was a Galactic Empire) could easily be explained and I personally think they should be added. Domination (one of my favorite powers) needs put into this game and their biotic leanings lends towards that.

+1...except for Shepard being the most powerful being in the galaxy... and Javik being a moron. 
nevermind, only +.5

ME3 breaks the lore throughout the game, MP &SP are separate for a reason, if they were more mixed like Brink, then the story might come into play, but MP is it's own and people trying to keep with the 'lore' are ruining positive expansion to multiplayer (yes, i want merc and collector enemies, both of which would make sense depending when MP takes place, which is undefined i think)

Actually the Illusive Man was indoctrinated and fighting it while he used Indoctrination to control his troops. So basically the Illusive Man tried to turn himself into a mini-reaper but it kind of backfired. He never was under reaper control.

The Geth only used Reaper A.I. contstructs to increase their own power and weren't really under reaper control either. Well I guess it depends on what part of the ME3 story you're in for if they're under reaper control or not. Ok so yea they were until deep into the story later.

So erm yea ..... Just some food for thought ....


Actually, the catalyst said that TIM was under their control so TIM couldn't have used the catalyst to control the reapers. The geth were also under he control of the reapers because it says in the dreadnought and rannoch missions about the reapers having a signal that puts all geth under their control. Clearly you don't listen to the story.

Apparently they have the ability to clone in 3 and a half seconds in the mass effect world, play single player and find a kakliosaur fossil, give it to a salarian, he clones it straight away for the krogan. so cloning will be how they're in it. They will make people miserable too, shouting 'banshee! we are all going to die, even you, we might as well give up now' i can't wait.

Really? When the hell was I expected to know Quantum Physics, Advanced Computer Sciences, Dark Matter Theory, and other scientific hoopla that required me to attend collage for +8 years in order to be a grunt?

Javik explained he was a soldier and not a scientist or philospher. His outlook was that of a jaded Commissioned Officer. That was the extent of his personality and knowledge. If we had gotten some kind of optomistic scientist then he likely would have turned out much differently but wouldn't have been a squadmate.

I like how you just wrote Mordin out of ME2. He's definitely a scientist, and it's just not possible to be a Gilbert-and-Sullivan-quoting pessimist.

More over, how does the description of Javik as an experienced soldier actually contradict the "Javik is a moron" hypothesis? I've never served, but there are dozens of soldiers and sailors among my family and friends--and they surely run the gamut of intelligence.

...er, right, MP discussion forum. So... how about those Protheans the OP has promised we'll see on Tuesday? That will be fun!

Still haven't seen a source for this confirmed Prothean DLC. How far did the OP pull this out of his rear?

Protheans? No. Collectors? Yes. Scions, praetorians, with the random ASSUMING CONTROL?
Fun times.

Shepard is pretty much the most powerful being in the galaxy.  He ends a cycle that had been repeated God knows how many times and unifies the galaxy as well as killing the most powerful Spectre in history (next to him), destroying a Human Reaper, invading and either destroying or occupying a Collector base, resurrects from the dead, communicates with a 50,000 year old "extinct" race.....amongst numerous other acts of amazing heroics.

I think he farmed most of the valuable minerals in galaxy while doing all of that as well. 

And yes, Javik is a moron.  He literally provides next to no information aside from "back in my day, we fought with bows and arrows" type crap.  If he was more than just a soldier grunt, then he would have provided a massive back story and done what every great dominant galactic imperialist would have done:

Slept with Liara.

Fun times.

Preatorians could be the main boss, Scions the secondary ones, a few Harbingers can spawn, some normal Collectors can become Harbingers, Collector Assassin's can spawn. Best enemy in the game.

Is this just yet another lore complaint for MP or was something confirmed?

I mean, if you REALLY want to complain about lore then go ahead and explain why we're still fighting at all even though the war was supposedly won by Shepard's ending choice in SP.

My lore butthurt threshold is much lower in MP, so I'm not really with you on this.

More important to keep MP fresh and interesting.


I like the idea of a butthurt threshold.

This doesn't mean that Protheans are "confirmed". Its not confirmed until its actually announced.

And Humans have the most powerful biotic powers (smash, warp + shockwave).

Implying it wasn't always terrible with the grammatical standards of a group of five-year-olds?
