Yep. Feel free to look at my ME3 profile on my profile page via BSN. It should have a listing for the Xbox 360 and PC. I've played ME3 MP on both platforms. The community is absolute trash on both.
Bullshit, you have to look for for trash on PC with a microsope.
Why wouldn't they have dedicated servers? Is that not the norm?
It could happen, and I want it to happen. I even think it should happen.
but I don't think it will happen.

I've literally never been kicked in around 1000 hours across 3 accounts. Maybe you're just a scrub that noone wants to carry?
The only time I was kicked in my 600 hours on PC was a month ago, & i was off host nova guarding, the host was jelly of my nova guard's yelling.
I can probably count the number of times I've been kicked on one hand, also across three accounts. Two of those accounts are N7 120 or lower.

All three communities are fine. You would have to be constantly acting like the world's biggest d'bag for most people on 360 or PS3 to even notice you.
I'd definitely love to have them, but I doubt EA thinks the same...

Apart from the gameplay this is one of the things that make it a good game: You actually play with people instead of dicking around with them.

I have little doubt the nature of the community would change very quickly if the words "friendly fire" were to enter the equation.

Yup, Bioware co-op multiplayer in my experience has been pretty damn civil, rarely had an unpleasant experience in all my years playing. PvP would be where most of the scum and villainy thrive, probably. 
I love ME3 MP and do hope for the dedicated servers for MEA. I to doubt that it'll even happen. I just came back to ME3 MP after a year hiatus. I love how you can kick ass with 3 other people and use the different powers and guns. Hell, I even own an X1. Got Battlefronts and everything and still, I went out of my way to acquire another 360 JUST to play ME3 MP.
Don't get me wrong though, I also love the ME single player story. I really hope they keep the Multiplayer part the same but with more stuff added to it. More weapons, cooler toons to pick, interactive levels. I think some people who hate ME3 MP suck at playing it I guess. Myself and thousands of other people still rock the game. Even the MP Forums is still active after all these years. To all you waiting for MEA MP, I'll see yah soon ^.^
That's disappointing. The thread had taken such an entertaining turn, and I was looking forward to catching up on the last couple of pages. Now *poof* it's gone. Oh, well. Why am I posting about it in this thread?
And the other thread, of course, isn't, so I couldn't post about it in there.
That's actually a great idea...
Already there In ME3MP. It's called Firebase Reactor Hazard and Possessed Abominations
Batarian-human relations still need a bit of work I guess......
Saying ME3MP wasn't a big success is ridiculous. And MEAMP is as good as confirmed.
Wasn't that Revan dude whining about ME4 taking place in Andromda the whole last year and suddenly vanished as Bioware showed the first MEA trailer on E3?
Trolling is a art, but not everybody is a artist, guys.
Roughly 99% of games published today are "generic knockoff" of games already published. I don't get your pointYes, my Canadian friend. I recognize entirely that my opinion is mine alone. That, however, does not change the fact ME3 MP is a generic knockoff of plenty of other games that have had this similar game mode for many years. That was my point.

What?
You must not be very smart, at least not based on this response. ME3 MP did well, because of the microtransactions. As far as MEA, we don't know anything about it's MP, other than there likely is one.
Who said anything about trolling? Sorry I actually care about Mass Effect and hope BioWare doesn't make a mistake?
Sheesh. You people need to get a grip.
Dedicated servers, crossplatform multiplayer.
Make it so.

My point is... do something original for once. That would be nice. If I wanted to play a generic knockoff, there are already plenty of other games that offer that feature.

Please describe a workable "original" idea, then if it is such an obvious thing to do. The gaming industry is decades old. Everything has been done at this point, and the differences in games in the same genre are primarily in gameplay mechanics. Most shooters have variations of deathmatch, CTF, conquest etc. To use your example Survival mode (which ME3MP's gameplay is a derivative of) wasn't invented by Gears or Halo, and has been a staple since classic wave based arcade and tower defense games.
This just seems more like a thinly veiled attack on MP in general, which would make sense if SP games were making comparatively greater strides in originality, but they aren't. You get a new story/characters, some potentially more refined gameplay mechanics, but ultimately the games are fundamentally the same as their predecessors. ME singleplayer hasn't at all been an innovator in that regard either.

I've heard of that one guy who spent... 500 dollars to max his manifest? They've also said he had a gambling problem. Basically, a friend of a friend told me thing. And even if that was true, I'm willing to bet that was an extreme case, not a regular occurrence. I mean, you have to be pretty damn dumb to continue throwing your money away after you figure out the RNG. And despite the credit(or rather, the lack of it) the press gives us gamers, I'd like to think that, in general, we're actually smarter than that.
So unless you can back your statement with some graphs, polls, evidence... whathaveyou... I'm gonna call it a BS and say that MP did well because it was, surprisingly enough, well developed and fun.
Topic says it all, is there any chance we get dedicated multiplayer servers?
Unnecessary.

Not at all. I love multiplayer in games. In fact, I generally prefer multiplayer if it's done incredibly well. I just don't care for ME3's MP that much due to it being very boring and redundant. If I were in charge, I'd get rid of their "survival mode" and replace it with a fully integrated coop in which one player would host the world and another could join as a "companion." Besides the main story, players would be able to complete any other content together. A great example of this coop system would be Far Cry 4 or ACU (after it was fixed). I would find that kind of multiplayer to make far more sense for Mass Effect, a story-driven RPG, rather than some generic shooter game mode that's been around for decades. That's just me though.
Are you nuts? Mass Effect single player hasn't been an innovator??? You ever heard of the dialogue wheel? That, alone, is one of the biggest innovations of Mass Effect. It has affected other RPGs, the latest example being Fallout 4. Not to mention, the voiced protagonist, save importing, continuity between games, these are all innovations in Mass Effect that have affected every BioWare game sense. Come back to reality. Please.

Gamers aren't smarter than that. Most gamers are incredibly dumb. If they weren't, microtransactions wouldn't work and most of these games would be shut down. Lets think about this for a moment. How exactly could ME3 MP make money without microtransactions? All of the DLC for it was "free content." Of course, it actually wasn't free because microtransactions paid for it. Regardless, it was entirely the game shop that made the MP a success, not the MP itself.

Hahaha... I remember the first time I trapped someone in the reactor room by mistake with two banshees and a brute...
I actually managed to revive him... I think...

And yet, I can't help but notice you fail to provide any evidence requested.
I've played six hundred plus hours. I know of people with two, three, four times as many hours played. I've never paid a cent for the game. To this day, on any platform, you still have a healthy player base. Sure, not as healthy as it was four years ago, but games can still be found and joined easily, with new people still joining.
Yeah, it's all about money. Not the fact that people can finally play something else than human and that the game is actually fun.
Perhaps I'm just too handsome for my own good...? I don't know! I've beaten all of the ME games on insanity. I unlocked most of the characters and got a lot of the OP weapons. I certainly never died a lot and typically am the one to carry my teammates. I don't know what gives! I don't even use my headset on PC, so it's anybody's guess!
Eh. I can't help if you make assumptions about my rhetoric. The MP is okay. It's just not something I enjoy over a long period of time. I'd prefer something a bit more original or having more relation to the main story of the game. Somebody is definitely CRAZY!!! Who could that be?
Beating the game on insanity and actually being able to play gold/platinum much less being able to clutch or solo waves in them are two very different things. Also I dunno if you've noticed it but you tend to repeat the same points over and over, oblivious to all the logical counter arguments which clearly state otherwise. I'd like to keep pointing out the logical fallacies here but then I remember these words of wisdom by our resident mexican druglord;
