Will.Not.Happen.

The big daddy of EA is coming out in the fall.

Battlefield 4. All else fails to compare. Both economically and critically.

They'll want gamers to play there game as there only MP game of choice, or main MP game of choice.

BF3 sold around 12 million copies. Analysts are saying that BF4 could possible do 20 million.

And you can bet your behind, that EA is listening as licking their money grubbing lips.

Um, since the devs are probably working on the next ME MP, can I vote for a downloadable multiplayer alpha build in early 2014 and a beta download in the fall of 2014?

Id vote for that too

Geez. Thats' far out there man. At least for me as Im in the US.

I'm US too, but I'd be pretty fine going to Sweden actually <.< only problem is my mom would probably come to "visit" and never leave.

As to the diversion well that presumes that they had not thought of doing it in the first place. I am to the point that I just dont assume as Halo kind of proved me wrong on that note and they came out with a map editing tool. ME doesnt really need it but if the quality continues to increase in this game....it would be something great for the future. What my question was gearing towards was wondering if frostbite is the kind of engine that allows to create something like that easier as opposed to something like the engine used to create Halo's map editing tool. Just curious.

I don't think you understand the problems.

1) The Frostbite engine does not inherently support modding - to even consider it, they would have to find some way to allow the new maps to be integrated into the game, which from even a quick google doesn't seem to be at all simple (the engine seems to be focused on efficient compilation, not easy modularity).

2) EA/DICE isn't about to release the Frostbite source code, especially not through a sibling company and not themselves. This means Bioware would need to provide an interface for map maker users - you're basically asking them to make an entire extra piece of software. Even if they were considering diverting such a tools team (as Ghost rightly points out, you're looking at an entire new team), their license for the engine might not even allow such a thing.

More DLC? Anytime.

That being said, the more realistic (i.e., least work and testing) additions would be new weapons or new kits (combinations of existing models, classes, abilities; not creating new ones). New maps are a lot of work. Design, testing, redesign, testing again, etc. would be a lot of work. I'm amazed and grateful as it is that there are actually that many MP maps.

From a developer's point of view I'd say that asking a software company that you would like more additions to their product (for free or not is not really important) after they have officially ended support (after a reasonable time, so ending support after 1 year may be debatable) is not insulting but a lack of understanding regarding the work involved. (That does not mean it's bad, since none of us understands other professions' work to a sufficient degree to judge that.)

And, since no software argument can exist without a car example: You wouldn't go to your car manufacturer and ask them if they could modify your 30 year old car for you - unless you're rich and willing to pay. And although I'd pay for a DLC, I don't think I'd pay as much as needed to make it profitable for them, but I can't say that with certainty, since I have no proficiency in business administration.

On a side note: It was bad timing that I started playing just after the final weekend challenge happened. I'll play the next ME MP asap.

Also, I should use less brackets in my sentences.

Even though this has next to zero chance of happening, I'll sign nonetheless.

INVADERONE do you know something we don't. Has One True Shot come out of his Volus hole?

This would be pretty super. Zero chance, but pretty super.

I think he is still in his Volus hole waiting for new prophecies to come.

meh..people still play MP that much?

[Chrome tater tot]

My two cents would be that it is neither natural nor normal for a game to "have its server shut down." Only EA imposes that kind of blockade on the multiplayer aspects of its games. Most other games can be played online as long as there is another player online to play with.

Bearing that in mind, I seriously doubt this will come to fruition. Good luck though.

I don't think it will happen but... I'm in. As Invaderone said, one never knows.
I would love a map on the Citadel.

I'm pretty sure it won't happen but i'm in.

I'd like to see:

1- Hazard version for the remaining maps

2- New Characters...

3- expanding (partially) the existing maps, just like what BW did with FB White, it was good.

4- New Maps, but it's not a big deal.

5- more Salarians (Sentinel or Soldier= perfect)

Thanks INVADERONE.

I would like if someone from Bioware will appears here and tell something... This silent is taking to long, and really Bioware please... Consider that we are ready to pay for Multiplayer DLC, just give us them...

But i guess this is not possible... I think, EA is not happy about results how many money gained from selling ME3, so they ask Bioware to shut down the support... Shame really...

They are still working on the next Dragon Age. I also wouldn't be completely pessemistic or completely optimistic. Just keep an open mind about it. Slight possbility but don't hold your breath at the same time.

[rubberduckie666]

I'm all in
They could use all the unused maps and cycle all the old weekly challenges
I'd personally want (but don't need) a custome map editor that we could make maps we would want (I know it would be hard to make a map creator but it would be awesome)

After what Bioware did with Dragon Age 2, i don't care about Dragon Age Inqisition... And besides... Bioware make a pact with devil... Yes i mean EA...

I see a lot of people suggesting maps that were never finished. What maps were these? Were they cut from Reckoning?

I can only guess... But Firebase Echo what mentioned in Ricoshot topic, was cuted from Reckoning for unkown reasons.
