UPDATE 7/12: More info on Starcraft 2's single player campaign released - which looks like an RTS with RPG elements.

Imagine if this were carried over to Mass Effect?

The Illusive Man runs the show in Cerberus, and he's constantly working on new technology that becomes available as you progress through the human campaign. After earning enough credits by completing missions, you’ll be able to purchase a wide array of upgrades that can enhance your base, infantry, vehicles, and much more. These each have two available upgrade options, and you can purchase both if you save up enough credits.

With enough credits, you'll be able to bolster your forces by purchasing mercenary contracts and recruiting squadmates. You can access the mercenary and squadmate screen by speaking with Miranda Lawson or Jacob Taylor in the Cantina between missions. Once a mercenary is under contract, these battle-hardened units can be used at the cost of in-game resources via the Merc Compound during missions. Depending on how many different contracts you purchase, you'll be able to mix and match your available mercenaries however you see fit during battle. Each mercenary has a cooldown before more can be called into action.

Shortly into your campaign, you'll become acquainted with EDI, the AI on board the Normandy. With her help, along with some legwork on your end, you'll gain access to a number of significant improvements to your weapon systems and tactical abilities. To use these upgrades, you must acquire rachni and geth research points by completing bonus objectives during individual campaign missions. Once you've saved up enough of these points, you can put them to use by clicking on the research console in the Laboratory and browsing the available building, unit, and tactical upgrades. Throughout the campaign, EDI will inform you of things that she needs in order to create these enhancements.

Otherwise...

Co-Op Mode...

If not, BioWare was still hiring a multiplayer programmer, likely to begin work on on some new multiplayer game related to the Mass Effect franchise:

http://www.cinemable...ayer-24890.html

It does seem late to start working on a multiplayer function (wouldn't they have started hiring them before ME3 started development?), and a balanced RTS game takes a long time to make - which means they'd have to start hiring now if they wanted to make one.

Once the Mass Effect trilogy ends, BioWare could easily set up a nice story for an RTS. It can be similar to Starcraft or Supreme Commander in gameplay. However, because up-close cinematic detail isn't necessary, the dialogue and script won't be necessarily be limited by how much the graphics artists can produce.

...or RTS?

Reapers would be overpowered. Collectors would be a good option though.

Also, "Rachni rush, kekeke ^_^"

Reapers would be like the faction you can not play and act as a main antagonist that show up near the end of the game.

Now excuse me, I will go play Sins of a Solar Empire :P

Rachni rush would be so much more awesome than zerging.



Reapers would show up in the single player campaign, but not as a playable race (until people start messing around with the map editor).

I'd figure that the Quarians would have taken them back by now, so:

Possible sides for Mass Effect: Shepard Commander

-Systems Alliance (Human)
-Citadel Fleet (Asari, Turian, Salarian)
-Terminus Systems (Batarian/mercs)
-Geth Heretics (Geth)
-Skyllian Verge (Blood Pack Krogan/Blue Suns)
-Migrant Fleet (Quarians/true Geth)
-Rachni Cluster (Rachni)

Reapers are like the Burning Legion of Mass Effect; we'll originally be promised to play them, but due to balance issues, they'll just be in the single-player campaign.

I've been seconding this motion since the Old Forums.

Only I think Shepard is going to die in the end of ME3. Legion will be very sad about it then he... it... they... argh, whatever!.. pick up Shepard's banner...

So the name should be...

LEGION-COMMANDER

Who knows. Maybe we'll see it before StarCraft 2.

Actually, they just announced that Starcraft 2 will come out in the first half of this year.

Maybe a reaper ship could randomly show up in later levels. Then its every race against it.

I've actuully been thinking about this, here's my ideas for factions



Systems Alliance

Sort of the generallist faction, fairly good at everything, great at nothing. Relys on speed and mobile forces. Decent Navy. Influences: Americans (Company of Heroes), Allies (Red Alert 1,2,3)



Citadel Council

Starts off fairly weak but as the game progresses becomes more and more dominant, represents the escalating conflict and the council sneding in more and more troops. Can choose three divergent late game tech trees. Influences: Wehrmact (Company of heroes), GDI (Command and Conquer)



Quarian Migrant Fleet

Relies on hit and run tactics, mobile defence, scortched earth and technology to defeat opponents. has a very powerful fleet and Air Force. Influences: Panzer Elite (Company of Heroes), Nod, GLA , USA (Command and Conquer).



The Geth (heretics and normal)

Lots of em. They have lots of weak troops with fairly high firepower. Rely on troopers to do the fighting and other platforms to do the winning. Also have high tech and decent fleet. Influences: ?



Can't think of how the Terminus Systems and verge would go

Just mod SC2 when it comes out.

Zerg = Rachni

Terrans = Alliance/Citadel

Protoss = Quarians/Geth

Another idea for a side: Derelict Collector Ship

Derelict Collectors (Husks, Scions, Collectors, Praetorians)

Forget the Quarians, theyre useless, I would rather have a rebuilt krogan and rachni faction.
