Ever since I played the first Mass Effect game, I've always wanted to play the game with other people. I was wondering if having multiplayer in Mass Effect 3 would be doable? Maybe there would be a seperate game-type/story where you hook up with 3 other people and play through. Like Spec-Ops in MW2 or L4D.

This is NOT about having player team-mates in the single-player story. There wont be multiple Shepards playing together. That isn't what I meant by Multiplayer.

What I meant was, maybe the story branches out with preferably 4 NON-SHEPARD custom-created characters with their own story to why they are fighting together. 

To help you understand even further, hopefully this example might help; maybe you are one of the Cerberus Operative that recovers Shepard's body, and a few other Players can join you playing it.

This is NOT a request for a Mass Effect MMO.  Sry if this was too long to read for you.

Thoughts? Comments? Questions?

EDIT: When I said Multiplayer this is how I envision it from happening.
During the beginning of the game you *spoiler 1*, after that, *spoiler 2* retrieves *blank*.  What I was thinking of was, you being able to play a short mission with a couple of other real people in the story :to retrieve *blank* for *spoiler 2*: 

Hopefully that wasn't confusing too much. Hopefully this clears up what I mean about Multiplayer.

No.

The idea of multiple Shepards would be goofy.. but If in multiplayer your own personaly customized avatar was available and a backstory as to why a group of humans are fighting together is present, I think this COULD be solid. Now I thought about how right now you have to pause when you bring up the power/weapon wheel, and thought for a second it wouldn;t work. But no, you could keep those systems; just not pause the game for them; it would be awesome. However... a multiplayer game mode would have to be secondary to the Mass Effect 3 campaign experience, without dialogue. However, dialogue COULD also be possible. Just have the host of the multiplayer game play the role of commander shepard and everyone else be allies. (Hey, you could get in some emotional attatchment to real people!). The host would choose the dialogue options.

Ya thats what I was thinking of.  NOT a bunch of Shepard's, but a different squad of people in a different story. With the same customization as the game ofcourse.

Leave the current story alone, other players inside the single-player campaign is a big no-no imo. Let the multiplayer bit branch out on its own.

I'm wondering if they are thinking of making a MMO of Mass Effect...don't think there will be a multiplayer in the third game but it would be nice to play it with my brother who is back on the mainland.

ughhh....hold on, let me find it....its bookmarked somewhere...is it unsorted? gah.... ah, here it is:

Everything these days seems to have a forced online component. I'd rather not see that in ME3.

why on earth would you try to ruin an epic singleplayer game like ME with multiplayer..? if you want it so badly, go back and play MW2 or L4D2

I agree, but what Im suggesting isnt some, unconnected FPS player-vs-player map.

I'd love to see some coop style goodness, I would have faith that bioware could do this. The idea is awesome but would take a good bit of work to make it really be awesome, which is more than likely holding back any idea like this. Coop DA:O and ME3 would be too awesome.

[spectre0001]

All I can say to this is Look at Bioshock 2 my god if they would have left the stupid multiplayer alone an did more with the single player it would be a great game. When the single player online last max of 5 hours while the first one was around 8 to 9 hours they just ruined the story to let people kill each other.

[Benny922]

If they did make a multiplayer ME game I would want to see it be a Contra clone and 8-bit graphics.

Its not about the single-player. Your pre-assumptions of the thread are invalid.

the Mass Effect Trilogy is a single player experence following shepards epic struggle to save the galaxy. mulitplayer would convolute that story. i dont mind seeing a spin off based on the mass effect univers, but creating ME3 with multiplayer would ruin the basis for the game.


so, like others have said, not a chance. sorry.

Ive tried to make clear what my idea of how Multiplayer can be included in the game. Your reasoning sounds like you see Multiplayer in a different way.  Tell me what you think when I said "Multiplayer", then re-read my OP.

Agree I buy mass effect for the awesome story and great moments when I can pull a William Shatner.

No multiplayer in a back story an/or current for shepard would not work. I don't care if it's about 4 nameless people that try to save everything it would not work.

Its not about 4 nameless people that try to save everything. That's what Shepard is doing.  Im suggesting a different story but relating to Mass Effect in some way.  Like Miranda and Jacob's story in the books.
