Still... http://social.biowar.../index/13665128
Protheans are lore friendly. Furthermore, finding/cloning a dozen of them for COVERT missions that is the N7 missions that MP is based will not break Javik's story. No one will know about them. Protheans are still extinct.
For the Empire!

It would be even better if there were females... That would sweeten the deal.

I know this is a joke, but it's starting to aggravate me...
Javik's accent is NIGERIAN.
NIGERIAN.
Furthermore Javik's voice actor is NIGERIAN,

Do 4 alive protheans make sense? No
Add them now! Do you think about lore when you're playing MP? ******

Don't get me wrong, if would be F*#*ing amazing to have protheans in mp, but no. Javik is the last one, unless the release a sp dlc searching for more and more cryo protheans for the war, i dont support this. Also it would help if people actually played mass 1-3 and learned some of the history before spewing out nonsense. IMHO i would love to have a prothean vanguard or adept or whatever, probably play them more than most of the other kits, but it really would not make sense. Volus make more sense than this, if you look in the codex, they support the turians in combat. Plus if they were to find more protheans, whats to say that they are soldiers? Javik is one yes, but the protheans on ilos were scientist and the like.

I have played all three games, and am very versed in the lore. What I have suggested in my thread are perfectly reasonable, not extreme deus ex machina, lore justifiable alternatives to their small addition to MP. People need to realize that adding a dozen in the lore will not ruin anything. The Protheans will STILL BE EXTINCT. And Javik's story is untouched. Ignorant and stubborn people are fixated on this premise that thousands need to be found which will kill the lore. Pure nonsense as only a dozen is actually needed at most.
EDIT: And just to address your Volus comment. Those were AUXILARY troops mentioned in the codex. Auxilary =/= Covert spec ops where fitness and althetic durability are crucial. The Volus sentinel is the closest to be being lore justifiable, but still a stretch. People raged yet within a week were mostly quelled.
BSN likes to overreact.

You'd need more than four Protheans. And yes, how the different races are presented in SP influence which ones I like for MP. It's part of the reason I don't play Salarians or Batarians.
It was BW's decision to tether the MP of this game to the lore of SP. That's what makes it different from others, and what made it my first MP experience. Take that away, and this will be one step closer to those other games I don't play.
What I want to know is why this thread won't die.

Do tell why you think we'd only need a dozen.

Do tell why you think we'd only need a dozen.
Sometimes I feel like a broken record... Actually yes, I am.
For the [insert number] time.
" Please keep in mind that the N7 operatives likely only number in the hundreds. Multiplayer is not a front-line operation. They are highly trained operatives who operate behind the scenes of the actual war. As such cloning only a few dozen or a hundred Protheans is very believable & cost effective. Instead of arguing on them fighting in the front-lines, instead focus on behind-the-scenes N7 missions which is what MP is based on. All other factors are negligible . "
This is from the OP of my thread.
It is well established that the N7 ops in which the entirety of MP is soley based on, is a covert operation. Originally focused on the Alliance N7s other Aliens have also joined the cause, and these operatives were also considered N7 as a unifying identitiy. Hence, N7 operatives. Hence the N7 number next to everyone's name and a stupid number for promotions. It is also the reason we only see FOUR operatives at most, at any given time - the players.
Thus we can logically conclude that all that is needed is 4- 12 live Protheans at least.
50-100 being the absolute most.
MP's lore does not account individual cannon, this is why we have Geth, Quarians, and Krogan all working together.
EDIT: forgive my typos if I missed any. I seriously fail at typing.

I have absolutely no idea what thread you're talking about as I don't get on here that often.
I still like to think we only see four Operatives due to engine limitations, but I like the explanation you gave. There's one thing that doesn't sit right with me; Every kit we can play now comes from a faction/species whose number we don't know. We just know that that number is really large. I really do like your theory, but given that every other kit is representative to an entire faction/species, I don't think 4-12 would be enough. I think, were we to get any, we'd need a large, unknown number. Just like every other kit.
I'd be open to any further explanation you can give on this, however. I honestly didn't think to associate "Ops" with "covert". Especially since every success speech we're given is spun in a way that makes it seem like we are the front line.

My Pro-thean thread? You've posted in it numerous times? We have discussed this before...
N7 ops are not the frontline. Engine limitation or not, it is lore justified by being called N7 operations.
How you are gathering the idea of this meaning front-line of all things is beyond me.
The secrecy, urgency, and direct communication from Admiral Hackett all point to this being a special operation consisting of the best of the best.
Prothean avatars/clones/whatever fit this bill.
"Every kit we can play now comes from a faction/species whose number we don't know. We just know that that number is really large..."
Just because there is a pattern does not confirm it as definitive fact. Exceptions can be made, and reasonably so.

Volus were a terrible idea.
Protheans on the other hand can reasonably work.
