Think there is anyone still playing that relic, ME1?
Last year, I played the whole trilogy through, with all the DLCs. Citadel DLC is still outstanding. But it's MP that brings me back every day.
The SP sets up the whole story, and it's the unknown that human teammates bring to the MP that keeps it interesting. Both together are greater than either alone.

This exactly. I like the sp a lot but the mp makes sure I get to have fun with my friends and get to know new people each day. I love it xD
This is probably another trolling attempt, but here is a response anyway:
The only reason I will probably buy ME:A is the SP.
MP is at best is an added bonus, and with how bad the connection tended to get with DAIMP or ME3MP, I doubt this one will hold me for long either.
The thing is, like it or not, the only thing that makes Bioware games even remotely unique, is the SP.
Otherwise you have enough iterations of Call of Halo: Doom Battlefield around, cooperative MP's are also rather common these days, yet I don't think most of them are breaking sales records.
Battlefront kind of got away from the not having SP, but mostly because of the SW brand, the amazing visuals, and the fact that even in the past SP wasn't a great focus of the Battlefront franchise. That said, I'm sure their sales would have exploded through the roof even more with an actual SP campaign that used those amazing graphics.
But hey, try harder.
Single player mode in ME3 took resources from the multiplayer part of the game, which could've been used for ME3MP instead.
So I'll hope ME:A put it's SP resources into ME:AMP like rightfully deserves, because the SP will be dead in a week, tops.

What? I love ME1 and the rest of the trilogy. That and Origins/DA2 are the only reasons I'm never getting rid of my PS3.
I love ME3MP as much, or more, than most, but let's not be ridiculous here.
Exactly my point.
Rhetorical question. Of course ME1 is still being played. Myself included.
The point is, long after support for MP is fully terminated, SP remains viable.
And with EA support for online games tends to get terminated sooner rather than later.
Just dump single player already! They keep squandering resources on SP that could be better used on MP. Also SP affects my MP experience. Those writers make too money as it is. Just think of the AWESOME mp game we would have if they used the entire budget on MP rather than SP which drains away people and money from MP. Oh and make it PvP becasue I want to QQ all the newbs and teabag them into the next galaxy.
Let's think about this rationally for a moment. What really separates SP from MP? In both cases, you shoot things, use abilities, complete objectives, etc.
What makes MP unique and superior to the SP garbage is the human interaction. It is the fact that one is not alone but has real people around them even if those are far far away in the real world. That is an amazing achievement and it is the essence that breathes life into the whole Mass Effect experience.
Therefore and with that fact in mind. I propose to distill this most valuable aspect of the MP experience. It should be the real focus, the core, the centerpiece of MP, in order to make it even greater.
And where better to interact than in the lobby, without the constant distractions of annoying enemies that need to be eliminated or combersome objectives that need to be fulfilled. The lobby is the place where you can concentrate on the awesomeness of the social euphoria that is MP.
Therefore, I think BW should not only remove SP but also all MP gameplay except for the lobby, where players can chat while waiting. Prune it down, cut the fat if you will, to reveal the epitome of what makes this game great.
I also have the statistics to prove that this would be massively beneficial to BW and EA, both in terms of popularity and financially. Around the world, 75% of people with access to global communication send messages regularly in one form or another. On average, 85% of the worlds population have access to communication devices, such as cell phones or computers. This means 63.75% of the world's population are engaged in sending messages. That's roughly 4.75 billion people that are all a target audience for the streamlined MP lobby. Compare that to the meager 7-10 million copies of ME3 sold and you'll see to what riches BW?EA would be headed if they stop scaring all those people away with their frantic, pretentious and frankly unnecessary gameplay.
It will be glorious.
As a possible DLC, I envision an appearance pack that changes the lobby's layout to a classic MS DOS prompt style or an added feature for Kinect gesture recognition. Do it BioWare, your future - and ours - depends on it.
ha ha ha. How blind. Go play some call of duty.Consider the scale - Out of the 10million ME licenses sold - there are not even more than 535 people left in the SP camp. It has always been a dying business - That's why EA had to buyout Bioware in the end - BW were cashstrapped - couldn't even afford a management poison pill - because there are just no money in that old business model. MP as the driving force:
Spoiler
Consider the reality (see official info graphic / not spammed opinions)
- only 4% ever finished Insanity.Clearly, that is some unproductive investment of alternatively gameplay
- 88 million hours were spent on SP. Now first some may say that is a lot. But if you consider that there are 10m licences, it boils down to a mere average of 8 hours in total. For mp, on average the median is between 0:50-2:30 hours every day, measured over two week intervals since 2012-2016.
- 64% (more than half of the SP's didn't even meet Wrex). Ponder that for a moment in terms of Lore
- even in ME:A BSN forum we saw strong representation from the MP crowd : http://forum.bioware...a#entry20163544
it goes to show that the full bouquet is not appreciated anyway - so the majority of the SP minority clearly prefers an easy way out to complete 813 steps in the shortest imaginable time : "Been there done that".A paradigm shift from http://forum.bioware...-compatibility/ is urgently needed to see the wood from the trees.
The only reason why some believe that SP players are on some map at all is because of the minuscle amount of duplicated avatars spamming "one liners" on the forum. Test theory with the anticipated responses, below, in this thread :
Nice work bruddah. Just had to check it out when I saw this pop up.
Wonder why Bioware doesn't just kill this section with fire?
I'm gonna laugh my azz off when all you MPers looking foward to ME3MP evolved end up with an ME equivalent to DAMP.

Likewise for SP.

Grats, you just solidified the reason why people play MP games/PvP in general.
Even sarcastic posts on BSN are dumb, this place still surprises me.

Where'd 15 million come from? I thought 10 was a stretch.
i got his joke. I'm not getting yours.
Well there's no punchline, hence why it lacks any joke implication.
This place is still surprising me.
Putting aside that resource allocation for the game probably doesn't work like that, it's interesting how the franchise that is singleplayer for 2/3rd's of it somehow takes away from the latecomer feature.
Indeed saying Sp wil be dead within a week is wromng as Bioware's game are designed with plenty of replayability in mind whic means people wil continue to pla ythe games for quiet a fwe years and with a wide variety of characters. I know I certainly do as that's why I love these games
