I found the multiplayer quite entertaining and addictive quite frankly.
I was quite surprised at this,but the way you unlock items/races(through "packs" that you buy with credits won from missions)pushed me to play more missions that I would of.

It's... OK.
I didn't really like it initially, and I'm still incredibly sceptical, but I don't hate the thing. It feels like it's just tacked on at the end.
And I'm an avid Mass Effect fan, so as I absolutely adore the series, I have to say I'm a bit disappointed.

A game in which the multiplayer provided a wealth of background information on the setting and how the lives of various people were changed by the events leading up to and during the games. Frankly, I consider that a pretty bad example...Jove said:
Anyway, good to hear that it's good, I guess, but I never play multiplayer games on the Xbox and it's on the Xbox that I'll be getting this game (don't want any nasty Origin on my computer, although to be fair I've played all the previous Mass Effect games on the Xbox so I was going to do so even before Origin came out).
Just got so peeved by the multiplayer.
If you quit the game you lose all experience points you've accumulated in that game so far, so it's annoying, I HAD to leave because I had a lecture and I was penalised for it
Also sometimes the objectives are stupid, like kill an Atlas in 30 seconds with 2 people.

Well that's how almost all multiplayer games go, if you leave early, you get no credit for what you've done. I really wasn't expecting ME3 MP to break the mold of co-op gameplay but it brought a satisfying experience for me.
And as for the Atlas, that's when you break out the Cobra Missiles if you've unlocked them, 1 hit kill on that thing.
You mean how Gears of War jumped on Unreal Tournament 2004's Invasion mode bandwagon?Link XL1 said:
It was fun but when you're forced to leave it leaves a really bitter taste in your mouth, especially when it's wave based so could go on forever.tendaji said:endtherapture said:Just got so peeved by the multiplayer.

There's only 10 waves, then an extraction wave, on bronze mode, it's 20 minutes long if you are speedy at the assignments, on silver it's close to 30 or so, and gold who knows haven't tried it myself.
I'm not a big fan of Mass Effect, thought the first game was too wordy and conveluted, I prefer my games to shut up and let me get on with it. But honestly, a good multiplayer mode can make a world of difference to how enjoyable these games are for everyone (not just ME fans), it might just make me a Mass Effect convert.
I was skeptical at first when I heard about the co-op (like I take it many people were). However, the beta mp feels very polished, at least compared to the single player. There are some aforementioned button issues (I want to REVIVE that person, not take cover over their dead body), and certain moves are really difficult to deal with in even minor lag (mostly biotic moves involving lifts, etc). However, the gameplay is still pretty smooth and works well with people actually trying to be a team.
Also, the random packs for upgrades are addicting, if frustrating at times.

My only anger is that I can't be a Krogan or Turian Vanguard. Other than that, I will be playing it when I get home from work.
Agreed, I have a stigma of Hating Online Multiplayer FPS games, but I was really having fun last night.Elamdri said:
And since everyone can have different character builds it adds a lot of spice to the gameplay.
Is there going to be an escapist guild or group?
I would love to join in.
played 2 matches last night and it was good! Definitely will be playing MP when full game will come out.
Yeah, I know I was impressed. Go through all the trouble of entering my EA account details for a fucking demo and then got told that there's no access to multiplayer yet. Hey, EA. Go eat a bag of dicks. It's a demo, everything should work without people having to play BF3 or check every day to see if it fucking works yet (and without logging in to your utterly stupid origin accounts). And now I no longer give a shit about your gameplay denying demo, because I have Twisted Metal.
Besides, if I want horde mode, I'll go play Gears 3, a game with a combat system that works for this sort of thing. If Pinnacle Station in ME1 and Arrival in ME2 taught us anything, it's that Mass Effect with only the combat to hold up the game SUCKS ASS.

No. It offers an additional way to help the galactic readiness for fighting the Reapers. You can achieve all of the same endings/single=player content by just doing single-player and ignoring the multiplayer.Swny Nerdgasm said:
However, I have found the multiplayer to be quite an enjoyable experience. Requires more tactics and teamwork than a lot of other wave based modes from other games.
