To BioWare's ME4 MP Team...

...Stop looking at this forum and get back to work, you dogs![/quote]This.

And don't require lolorigin, unless EA forces you to (which they probably will). And if you bring banners back, maybe have a special one for people who got BotB (inb4botbismeaningless), to show their dedication to the MP?

Regrettably, as a division of EA Games, ME4MP will undoubtedly be an Origin sign in on PC.

As for a "special" BOTB banner, the word is ME4 will not feature a continuation of the Shepherd saga.  It is unlikely that anything will carry over from ME3 to ME4, although, having played ME1, ME2, and ME3 through with one character (several playthroughs), it was rewarding to start ME2 and ME3 with a few additional  items and resources. 

Some sites have speculated that ME4 will involve
(a) the Reaper/Prothean war, set 50,000 years before the ME3 theatre (which would be kind of pointless, as we all know only Javik survived that war, and Salarians were appetizers);
(b) the Geth uprising against the Quarians;
© the Rachni wars (when the Salarians enabled the Krogan);
(d) the First Contact war, between the (newly arrived) humans and the Turians.
However, this is all speculation.  I tried to use the medi-gel hack on the locks at the Bioware office in my hometown to try to sneak a peek at the new game, but they have apparently fixed that hack. 

For my 2 cents, I really  hope the Bioware team has followed this forum and some of the great ideas BSNers have posted for ME4.  I really really hope they can fix the PC microphone issue.  Being unable to communicate with  team mates is my biggest annoyance with this game. 

Anyway, to the ME4MP team, I have really enjoyed your offerings so far, and I'm looking forward to your next product. (Unfortunately, EB Games isn't accepting deposits yet, or I'd have my money there already!  ;))

I've been stalking the interwebz for any info on it for a while now. Same for me, can't wait to see what you guys come up with.

Once it is announced, I will start saving money in a special slush fund account for when it is released. My goal is to get ALL the guns/gear/mods at launch.

I will singlehandledly send them a message that yes, people will play this MP and here is some money to keep it up and running.

I'm talking, like, a grand. That is how much I love this MP.

Plus, I stopped playing M:TG so I have to get my RNG fix SOMEHOW.

WANT. I think it would potentially be a great game, sure you're fighting a losing battle but come on, the Protheans sent a star into supernova! That's just the definition of awesome right there. Judging from Javik's stories, it would be very interesting to see how the Protheans waged war against the reapers. The Protheans have those memory shards, maybe that could be used as a story element? Start the game just before the Reaper invasion hits, and after enough of one Protheans story has been told, you would transfer to a different Protheans memories a bit further into the future, until you eventually got to the end of the Reaper war. I don't know, I'm not a writer so my ideas are poorly explained, but I really want a ME game set in the Prothean-Reaper war.

It'd be kind of like Halo:Reach I guess, granted a lot of people didn't like that game but it was one my personal favorites in the Halo series. We all knew before we played Reach that (mostly) everyone was going to die and that Reach would fall, but the story was good. (At least IMO)

I really doubt if BioWare would make a Mass Effect game that didn't include Salarian, Quarians, Asari, Humans, Krogan, Drell, etc. Seems like an easy way to ****** a lot of people off around here.

I wouldn't be surprised if the next story arc didn't involve the Reapers beyond a few mentions of them either. That story is kind of finished along with Shep's story.

@ Cyonan

Agreed, they wouldn't make an ME game without those races. Unfortunately with the Rippaz being done in (and a golden opportunity with Harbinger wasted), I'm free to worry about the fate of my favorite samurai bugs.

[bondiboy]

No point in a story with a known ending. So no Reapers. Expecting to see mercenary groups playing a substantial role in a setting not too far in the past . Would be good to see Garus involved in some way

[oO Stryfe Oo]

I feel like a prequel of any sort would be a cop-out. They made it a point to stick with their guns regarding the lackluster (imo) endings.

I'm very curious to see where they go from those.

[TMB903]

If the next game is indeed a sequel then there's a good chance that we see both the Yagh and Raloi. One of the best things about this MP is the variety of races so maybe BW will leave more doors open when designing ME4's MP...for example I remember there being a contingent of people who said Elcor would be cool to have but BW simply couldn't implement them because of mechanics.

Yeah movies like Apollo 13 aren't interesting at all.

Or any play written by Shakespeare. Or any Greek tragedy ever. Or any story that uses the Hero's Journey (most of them).

That is a weak argument. GET THAT OUTTA HEAH!

Hanar. If I don't see Hanar in ME4MP I'll be upset.

Lol I am talking about a Reapers based story in Mass Effect 4 not Shakespeare or Pokemon:unsure:
Sorry didnt mean to generalise like that and create offence and could have worded that differently  but i think the Reapers story is over and we need something fresh in ME4

How's about drop in drop out campaign mode. Its a co-op style that is increasingly popular and I think it's a logical choice. I think this universe would be a perfect setting for that style of game. But please keep the wave based MP!

Eta as long as it is done well and not a respawn happy shootout.

I think you misinterpreted me. I would like to see ME4 MP recognize the fact that you did/did not achieve "Best of the Best" status, which has nothing to do with the story apart from a picture of Default Shepard. It would be Bioware acknowledging the time you put in to ME3MP and giving you something extra for it, although purely cosmetic. I agree with the rest of your post, and all those story lines sound amazing.

Mass Effect's story isn't even close to good enough to warrant further continuation. They really stretched it with 3 games. 

@Cassandra Saturn: You're my posting hero. BSN bans are sweeter than honey.

[oO Stryfe Oo]

Yeah...the story was kinda weaksauce. Still, that doesn't mean fleshing out certain aspects of it with a parallel story set during the same time frame is out of the question. Besides, BW's strong suit is characterization.

Revisiting 3's time frame (and beyond into the aftermath) would be a nice way to get cameos of some of the characters we've come to like and would provide info on how certain species fared, along with setting up the next conflict.

Ugh!!!

[Cassandra Saturn]

some of you have valid suggestions/arguments about ME4.

it's very sound.
