Will the heavy weapons from ME2 ever make an appearance.?


At this point they really have no place in MP.

I won't say never though.

The other day I shot a cerberus assault trooper with an acolyte X and incendiary ammo 4 on bronze while it was reloading and he just kept on reloading then started firing when done. Why, Derek, why?


Asbestos underwear? Image IPB

Something that requires investigating...The circumstance, that is...not the underwear.

Whose idea was it to allow character trolling on teammates?

Shadows in Cerberus colours (Phantom)
Ex-Cerberus kits (Dragoons)
Geth Soldier with flamer (Pyro)
Geth Infiltrator in all black with GPS (Hunter)

Because they were a genius.


Team decision.  You're welcome Image IPB

1. Has there been any discussion regarding allowing console players to remap controls? Eight actions (sprint, take cover, mantle, dodge, activate, revive, vault over cover, change cover) mapped to a single button seems excessive, especially when there are three buttons that go unused in the default standing state.

2. Has there been discussion regarding the removal of the "marinara sauce" effect while injured? It seems excessively punitive to severely obscure a player's view while in such a fragile state. The "marinara sauce" effect also seems redundant considering the prominent shield/health bar display.

Thanks for taking our questions!


1. It would require a re-working and patch.

2. The bleedout effect is something we feel is the most effective means of telling people to take cover.  This has been part of Mass Effect for some time now.  Not just ME3.

I read you're the type that likes Assault Rifles, so I gotta ask...

Revenant or Typhoon?

Edit: Grammar


Typhoon.  Less spread and no need to add the stability damper.

Hey Derek, I hope you get a chance to see this soon. I understand the NDA response, but curious as to how you personally would feel about something like this as a DLC. ^_^

What do you think personaly about automatic assault rifles on gold and platiumn? Do YOU think they should be improved or are good as they are?


I would LIKE to see some improvements on many assault rifles.  It's a matter of how much I can threa...er bribe..I mean, convince Eric of.  Yes, that's it.  Image IPB

Have you ever considered instead of buffing fast RPM weapons against armor instead go back to the way it was in ME2 and make slow RPM "high dmg per shot" weapons less effective against shields (mby with a code that give negative return in dmg per shot against shields) to balance it out. 

Right now high dmg per shot weapons are better against both armor and shields ( at least not less effective against shields) than high RPM weapons are.
And it would make more sense concidering that we have a tool tip that say high RPM weapons should be more effective again shields ( and that's the way it has been in previous ME games).


These are definitely questions the team struggles with.

Hey Derek,

Is there a reason why the hazard maps are on a cycle?


Yes.  People playing unknown maps will hit a hazard map approximately 13% of the time with only 2 in the mix.  If they were all in the mix it would be roughly 32% of the time.

Hey Derek, any chance of the N7 Piranha returning to its former glory of having 8 in the clip :D

Just looks funny having 6, while it is 8..perhaps decrease its damage a tad bit?

PLEASE!!


I must admit that, considering we use a thermal ammo type, I am surprised that we show chambers at all Image IPB
