All it takes is ea pulling the plug on the servers like they do with every game eventually

I was pulled in via ME2, liked it so much i went and found ME1, and yeah it let me down, but the first game in a franchise usually has this flaw, which was fine by me, It wasn't a bad game but it just did not have the appeal that ME2 provided, them ME3 came around the SP left me feeling let down to a small extent, but thats ok as the MP side took that let down and pumped it out of my system. I for one will be at gamestop at midnight tonight to pick up BL2. It will stop me from playing ME3MP for a little while at least (prob a week or two) but the ME3 servers will still be here when i am done playin around with borderlands 2. Maybe then i will finally unlock the typhoon and harrier, maybe not lol

Regardless ME3 swallowed upwards of 6 months of my life cycle, that is a win for bioware definately. Although i sadly belive the next ME installment we get will not go live until we have shiny new next gen consoles.

I'm not a MP player, but mass effect 3 kept me captivated for a long time with their MP. I only beat the single player once, was not a fan of the ending because it felt like a huge slap in the face to the fans. I understand "artistic integrity" but promises were made and broken, and fans don't usually appreciate that. With that being said those who say that borderlands is a "MP" game don't really understand it at all. Certainly it has co-op and alot of people will play that, but I personally beat the single player campaign of borderlands one twice, it was that much fun, even though I knew the ending sucked. Second game is said to be bigger and upwards to 60 hrs per playthrough depending on how many side missions one does. So that means that not only will those casual fans of ME MP will find something they want, but also the fans of SP experience. I don't think borderlands will kill ME MP, but it will certainly hurt it. At this point Bioware is keeping servers going becuase they are making money off micro transactions, but once this dries up so will the servers, if Bioware cannot make money off MP they will stop it, and fairly quickly.

Most of the people I see talking about Borderlands, talk about the MP and never quote the SP, that's why I reference to it as a MP game, I really don't have idea how much SP it have...

What OP says is pretty much how the MP for Assassin's Creed is. AC Brotherhood was the first MP I'd ever played and I kept playing it until AC Revelations came out, despite playing plenty of games in between at the same time. Revelations is the same way, with AC3 right around the corner there are still tons of players. Mass Effect's first two games were also single player only, and it also wasn't until the third game that series fans were introduced to its multiplayer. I don't know what the timeline is for the next Mass Effect game, but this MP can easily last a full year, regardless of what comes out during that time.

I'm playing Brotherhood right now ^^ didn't tried the MP yet, there's any chance I will still find people playing it? I will buy revelations next time it get a discount on Steam..

I don`t think it will die either. It`s fun and it`s very casual.
WiiU ME3 is not even out yet, official support must continue at least for a while after WiiU ME3 is released.

We have shotguns, you know

There are people who spend thousands of real dollars in this game`s MP. Although EA has authority to shut down ME3 MP server, decision cannot be made so easily when there are people who spent that much money for the ride.

It won`t stop anything, but it can be the reason to delay the server shutdown.
If the game has no shop system and MP was just additional free service for game owners, they definitely won`t hesistate shuting down the server when the time comes.
But when there are people who already spent thousands of additional dollars, even EA must consider shuting server down more carefully.

Very few people on ACB right now, especially on PC, and only in specific modes. You'll find matches in ACR, but if you have to pay extra for online I wouldn't bother since AC3 is coming out at the end of October and the majority of the MP player base will go to that game.

I'm mostly an SP player, I played Borderlands... it was fun enough, but not really engaging.  There's just enough plot to sort of make you keep going, mostly (I guess it depends on what drives you).  I described it to a friend as something I could pick up, play for a few minutes, shoot some stuff, and then shut it down again.   Or try and loot guns over and over again in New Haven or crimson whatever (you think FBWGG is dull, try New Haven loot farming).  Problem is, this is what I spent my time doing, because I can get a little OCD about trying to get that perfect RNG weapon... just one more run...

I also played the coop multiplayer (It was a pre-order for me, so I was playing it on day one)... and one of the first things that happened was that my SP campaign got corruped by someone's hacked crap when I joined their match (probably only a PC problem).  I had a backup, but it was sort of annoying.  At least with the ME3 multiplayer, you can't get your SP campaign screwed up by the MP.

So I never finished the single player, until a friend of mine picked up the GOTY steam version for like $5, and started going through... I dusted off my old Lilith and joined her to help the game along... I eventually finished the SP playthrough after helping her level up for a while.... and I promptly uninstalled it again. 

Sorry to get so off topic.

BORDERLANDS 2

CALL OF DUTY BLACK OPS 2

HALO 4

MULTIPLAYER!

I'm into all of those things. Been a mp fan since I first got Xbox live. I'll still be playing ME3 MP (not as much of course) as time stretches on.

I see your point, though. Mass Effect fans started off as Single player fans anyway. I know that's what I played Mass Effect for. Honestly, I was skeptical of the MP before I tried the Demo.

Right, people say a game is "dying" when they decide they're bored of the game, regardless of the actual remaining population. Those people are usually wrong.

ME4 is such an abysmally bad idea...

 Most of the players was skeptical into the demo, Bioware really surprised with this MP.

[The Aesthetic Ghant]

Sure it won't die.

It will desperately cling to life as it bleeds out more and more members of the community until finally it collapses in a pool of it's own bodily wastes.

I would love to have new titles set in the ME universe!

[TheAdventurer29]

I love the variety in this game. I have played Uncharted multiplayer and it is nothing comparing to this multiplayer in my opinion. I will always be around to play this game, a year, two years until they close the servers.

[Parallax Demon]

Don't think the mp will die soon, but a game like Borderlands 2, will have a significant impact on the ammount of players playing the mp.

For those who think that there is a difference in Borderlands by playing it sp or mp, there isn't. The best comparison will be that you play the ME3 story , but instead of two AI players, two of your friends are playing with you, either playing with Liara, Ashley etc. That's how Borderlands play. It's a coop game, which you also can play all by yourself, but the fun start when you play it with 3 friends, all with a different character.

LovedME3's mp since the demo, but will play it a lot less when Borderlands 2 is released. No offence; just being honest.

I think the MP is still fun enough to bring me back for the occasional evening, even once I'm done playing it on a regular basis.

I would consider myself a die-hard ME3 MP fan, but unfortunately I've stopped playing. Why? EA servers...

Yeah this is what I was thinking too.  I don't see another game being the end of ME3 MP but more likely ME3 MP being it's own demise.  With each DLC that has been released it has brought more bugs, glitches, exploits with it while the old stuff still hasn't been fixed.  Each person has a breaking point and if things stay as they are then it is only a matter of time before each reaches that point.

[N7 Assass1n]

It won't die, but it will keep subsequently faltering unless another game is looming. I'll be honest, I'm mainly a SP player, I've beaten ME2 more times than I could remember but ME3 SP only 2 times with the only difference between them being my LI. ME2 had such a long staying power with itself and the immersion into the story, much like ME1. The only thing keeping ME3 alive at all is the toys (I refer to the interesting characters like the Shadow, Kroguard, GI etc.) that keep getting put into MP. That being said, it won't last forever. And, whether people accept it or not, if Shepard isn't in the next game they make (Regarding Mass Effect obviously) the sales will falter. The playing from a new perspective idea is all cool and dandy but we get that already in MP. It would just be weird with SP. And the new protagonist WILL NEVER MATCH SHEPARD. If Shepard isn't in the next game (Again presuming they make it) I won't buy it. Shepard and the bonds he made for me in the game immersed me into the lore and no other protagonist will ever do that for me again. SHEPARD FOR ME4!

Also:

"I want more time."
- Tali
" I am yours"
- Liara
" Come find me Shepard"

[An English Gamer]

Me3's Multiplayer is probably the best and most rewarding of all the co-op horde mode type multiplayers. Unless Borderlands has a very similar matchmaking and reward system with their Mad Moxxi dome thing it's going to stay that way.

[Drummernate]

This game is quickly turning into another Aliens Vs Predator.

It's fun and all, but once you max out the ranks and get all the guns in this case, it is no longer fun for most people.

Only the die-hard fans still play it, and it takes like 30 minutes to find a decent match, and like 2 hours to find a U/U/P game.
