 Don't start freaking out on me by saying "OMG ITS NOT HALO!" Relax, thats not the kind of multiplayer i'm talking about here. In fact any attempt to make a competitive third person shooter using the mass effect environment with things like biotics (and the sometimes questionable cover system) would be an abysmal failure.

The easiest and probably most likely option would be to make a variant  of Gear of War's Horde mode or Halo 3:ODST's firefight mode. This would basically involve you and your friends (lets say 4 in total for argument's sake) fighting co-operatively in some sort of arena environment against waves pf enemies that get progressively harder. Incentives like special upgrades or armor pieces may even be rewarded as a result of reaching certain scores etc... I'm not to picky about the specifics of this game type as long as the core remains the same: Shoot lots of enemies with lots of friends.

I can not stress enough how much I want the single player campaign to remain completely single player. If I see my friends shepard pop in to help me I would be very pissed off. Yes it would be fun from a game play point of view but it would completely ruin the immersion of the story. Which means we have two options here. First is to do what Splinter Cell: Conviction is doing and to make a smaller, action oriented (less story driven) campaign to play with friends. This way you get the feeling of purpose from progressing through a story, while killing something more than just waves of enemies with friends.

The second option here, and highly unlikely I may add, would be to allow friends to directly control squad mates. This would maintain the integrity of the story while allowing you to play it with a friends. They would not of course be as as strong as you, but it could be handy if you get stuck or just get lonely. Once again I note that there would be a thousand problems trying to do this and it would be very unlikely. I only say it because it is still an option.

To address the concept of compettive multiplayer again it would likely only work if they severely modified the combat from the single player environment. Personally this is not something I am too concerned with but if you guys have any ideas how it could work please post them below.

w/e mass effect basically is halo already. Both have humans, guns, space, aliens, space humans, space guns, space aliens, space ships, space food. 

Makes sense to me...

Don't forget the sexy holographic AIs. EDI's giant blue sphere is so hot.

ME 3 Multiplayer Suggestions.

I saw that part and my stomach turned.

No.

[LBDII]

Nah if it aint broke dont fix it

[AngryFrozenWater]

Please... No MP. Buy a real FPS or TPS if you want that.

[Starbiter]

wow you guys all a bunch or loners or something? Why do you think bioware is making old republic? gaming with other people = better. especially co-op

and Sphaerus you might wanna try reading the post before you go buy some tums.

Co-op, no competitive, if they do it'll kill the respect every fan of this franchise has

[Vorscythe]

Hm. The arena idea is interesting. I guess each player would just show up in their full armor so as to not break the immersion. But yeah, fighting waves of droids with one or two friends for some kind of underground entertainment could be fun, though I doubt it would go over well. Maybe in future Mass Effect games, but not ME3.

that is why i was very skeptical of competitive MP in my post.

[Tamcia]

No MP.

Its a good single player game, in fact one of the best. They should better add more single player stuff, then waste time on MP.



How would powers work? I have my adrenaline rush on my soldier, so the other player freezes for several secs, while I use sniper rifle to get 6 headshots?



I know I love MP on other games, but in games like DA or ME it just doesn't work the way we want to. Nor it should.

It's obvious that you like Halo, seeing it in everything. Maybe you should, you know, go play some Halo? And wait not for Mass Effect 3, but for Halo Reach or Halo 4 or whatever?

I bet you skip all dialogues in ME.

You honestly think a single skill would be enough to bring down this entire concept? When they could easily change it to just make you move faster than everything else while playing MP.

If there's one thing that needs to be in the next game it's more content... not multiplayer.  If you want an experience like the one you're talking about look for a deeper game.  There's far better tactical FPS's for multiplayer than what's currently available with Mass Effect.  It's the story and the universe that carry this game... not the generic 3rd person cover-shooter gameplay mechanics.

dude you fail at sarcasm so hard. I don't think I could have made that post anymore sarcastic. I mean honestly I said "space food" 

[LuPoM]

Ofcourse... Space + Aliens + Hologram AI + Guns = Halo.. certainly... oO they're all derivates of Star Trek then? and Star Wars?

You sound too much generalistic to me..



And about the Multiplayer: NO! Go play something else if you want multiplayer, since I don't want one of the VERY FEW Single Player Only games to be RUINED by multiplayer.



EOF. ^^

[JamesMoriarty123]

People who seem tho think that they will implement multiplayer for ME3 are just in so much denial. It's a SINGLEPLAYER experience, thats what ME is all about. The dialogue, the interaction, the characters.

Multiplayer is only about shooting your pals so...GTFO and go play CSS you clown.

omfg again! SARCASM people. I do not actually think mass effect is like halo. 

most of you have not even read the post and noted how I don't want competitive MP but instead co-op modes. w/e im done trying to explain things to people too lazy to even read the post.

[Crysis I]

DONT ADD MULTIPLAYER IT WILL RUIN THE GAME

[xX Krulz Xx]

I ll love Coop, even if your partner cant pick answers, I ll love to play along with my gf as I ll love that too with DAO.



I think it should be easy, she just can take part in the fights.

I have read it, but sincerely, I don't want ANY multiplayer part in a game like this, which is deeply focused into single player!
What would mean to add a Multiplayer to it? Simply nothing.. not only it has no meaning, but it also breaks the deep immersion that a game like this creates.

Again, mine is not sarcasm, it's just my simple point of view, and since there are way too many games with multiplayer and co-op out there and so few like this that are so immersively in single player, and which you can count on one hand, then leave them single player!

Multiplayer nor coop has really no meaning in the Mass Effect universe, atleast in this 3 series franchise!

IF they will make another Mass Effect based game which will feature intelligently and meaningly Multiplayer in the future (I truly hope they won't), then you'll have it, but PLEASE NOT in ME3!
