UPDATE: Mass Effect 3's Multiplayer is incredible. (Added my refletions and a quick guide)

[Fappy]

Its been pretty fucking fun so far.

 

[Loop Stricken]

Also that spacebar does to many different things, making sprint when I want to go to cover or the other way around.

I never understood this complaint. Everything works fine on the 360 controller with "A" mapped to ALL THOSE SAME ACTIONS. ME2 was the same way, even.
Why the complaints?

Because ME3 introduces rolling about and squadmate revival.
God help you if a squaddie dies next to a piece of cover, or you try and sprint down a corridor slightly too close to a wall, or you go to climb a ladder and just roll at it like a mentally deficient clown, or you go to slide into the sweet protective embrace of cover from an Atlas only for the game to think you wanted to roll off to the side and deflect its missile with your face.

or if you want to run the fuck away from a cyber ninja and then just stick to the wall so it can rape you softly and gently.

I'm really glad to hear this. Personally I'm not getting the demo because I don't want to be tempted to take a peek at the Campaign, so I'll impatiently wait for March 6th before busting it out (you can bet your ass I'm calling into work sick that day ).

But I honestly had high hopes for it, I wasn't one of the ragers complaining that they put it in there. People had been asking for co-op ME since the first game...they didn't want to make it Campaign Co-Op since that would make the campaign ridiculously easy no matter what difficulty. Personally I think the setup they made is a very good compromise.

Everything I've heard about it is good, so I'm very much looking forward to playing it.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

Not had a chance to give it a whirl, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

The posters here are generally Bioware fanboys. Your opinion is not to be trusted when it comes to Bioware. When I play the multiplayer, then we'll see how 'good' it is.

Spoiler

hahahaha perfect picture for that. thanks for the laugh.


OT: Haven't played it myself but checked out a few tid bit videos here and there, and it looks like alot of fun! Can't wait to try it out along with the main game, hopefully if there is any dlc it'll make multiplayer even more fun

Because we all need your aproval to see how good it is. Only when you play it, we can know how good it is. Riiiiight.


OP: I enjoyed it a lot myself. Although Bioware combat is not the strongest, it's entertaining and addictive. And there's a lot of weight knowing that it will influence the story. I admit, I'm convinced.

The cover system REALLY needed an upgrade, getting in and out of cover is a complete mess and since the enemies love to spam grenades it gets annoying.

Also why doesnt it scale? If there are only 2 players dont give me objectives that are still challenging for 4 players. When we have to assassinate the guys with the shields its usually game over

EDIT: I really dont like how "A" does everything, if a teammate is down near a beacon it is a mess to revive him.

Well I don't know how it is with the xbox, since I play it on PC, but I've had no problem with the cover system. Press space to go into cover, walk away from cover to leave it. Press forward and space to jump or slide forward, left or right with space to move from one piece of cover to another...took me a few tries but then it worked soooo smoothly.
The one issue I've had is when interacting with a computer or trying to revive a teammate while you're close to a wall...shame there's no 'interact' button like 'e' but oh well.

As to the scaling...you're quite right, it should scale. That said, I had great fun being a Turian sentinel and fighting together with a Drell Vanguard on our own, we managed to beat several maps on our own! :-D (admitedly it was a bronze challenge, but still...) That was some of the most fun I've had, really brutal.

So with all that said...it's pretty obvious that I like the multiplayer. It's challenging, fast-paced and require teamwork to pull off. It's a little annoying with the packs for unlocking things, I've unlocked the same guns maybe five times each when I've wanted to try being a Salarian or Quarian...but that's supposed to be fixed in the retail.
Instead I've been having fun as the Turian Sentinel with the viper sniper rifle and a shuriken pistol that sees nearly no use. Got to love overload, and warp is not so shabby either, that combined with the Turian being such a good shooter (A turian is a slightly slower then average weapon-platform, apparently) I can overload and then headshot Centurions and nemesis' with a nearly ridiculous speed. :-D

 

[sage42]

I find it a blast, in fact if I didn't have school today I would still be playing. My only problem is that my Quarain Infiltrator is locked. No Quarians makes me a sad Sage.

You realize this topic is just: "I like it, you should too" right? Whats wrong with me posting "I don't like it, you shouldn't either".

You guys are hypocrites.

No this threat is "I think ME3 multiplayer is good because I played it. What's your opinion?". This isn't indocrination. And I myself complained in the past for ME3 multiplayer, but I think it's good. We're not exactly all fanboys where, only about 5% are.

Uh, no, no it's not that. The guy is just annoyed that you said "you people are fans of Bioware, therefore your opinion is unimportant, my opinion is the only one that matters." more or less. Kind of haughty. You don't need to like the multiplayer, but for the love of God, don't act treat people on this forum like they don't know what they're talking about, it is rather rude.

 

[Gitty101]

Only played a couple of matches myself, but it seems like the sort of thing I could get into. The Vanguard's Biotic charge is never going to get old, neither is the super-melee beat-down. It's pretty hard too, only managed to reach wave 6 by myself... definitely one for coordinated squads.

 

[Keava]

Personally i found it boring, but i never really enjoyed Horde Mode in game. Maybe it's partially fault of it being just demo and hence pretty limited on maps/enemy variety but i find myself unable to play more than 2-3 matches a day before i have more than enough of it.
Co-Op games where it's all about killing AI tend to bore me really fast. It's hard to be excited about "what happens now"

Another issue is the way gear/character progress goes in ME3. The fact that those pack are very much RNG based You may have to play for a long time to unlock anything useful for You. I think i haven't got a single sniper rifle upgrade on my Inflitrator till about 18th lvl. Would prefer more reliable way of progressing.

Last thing is general issue with ME3 and it's how many things single button does. Having just one key for cover, run, roll and use can get annoying when Your character just does something completely different than You had in mind.

Well...

One side opinion is clearly biased. So deep inside Bioware's anus, they couldn't decipher an RPG game from an action game.

An the other side opinion is based on empirical evidence.

Which one do you trust more?

I trust the side that isn't here to just troll Bioware/Mass Effect related threads.

Phrase it however you want. I stated the same thing but in opposition. Yet that's taboo when it comes to Bioware, clearly.

You said "When I play it, we´ll see if it's good", saying that we can only be certain if you play. The OP said "I played and I think it´s good".

Honestly, who is biased here?

 

[anthony87]

I thought it was good. Nothing spectacular but good.

I liked that you level up by class, which makes having different characters less of a chore.
But I didn't like that all classes start as humans, and you have to use credits to unlock other races... my plans to have a Turian soldier will have to wait some hours.

I unlocked a Krogan soldier at level 3 as soon as I logged on for the first time and claimed my free pack.

I assumed everyone got that or something equivalent. Or did you get the Krogan and you'd just rather have a Turian?

Biased?...with the 80% of your posts dedicated to saying how awful ME3 is going to be and cussing out everyone that disagree with you(you know, pretty much anyone who actually posted on your threads), you don't get to talk about being biased. I like the demo because I think that it's fun, short and simple, you think just because I liked previous Bioware games that I buy new ones without thinking? I'm insulted.

I'm not a bioware fan, but I loved this demo. I play all types of shooters and get tired of most after a while, but I could see playing this for a while. I can't think of a game since L4D came out where a few of my friend and I stayed up till 9AM playing a demo.

see! this right here. Any opposition to Bioware is immediately denounced as a troll.

You better start believing in Bioware fanaticism, because you're witnessing it.

I don't give two shits what anyone says about Bioware, however anyone who's obiously trolling is immediately denounced as a troll.

Not that I'm complaining mind you. I find your posts to be amusing as hell.

No, he doesn't think that you're a troll because you diss ME3 one this website, Dexter111 criticized it and he didn't get labeled a troll. He thinks that you're a troll because that's ALL you do on this website. How much of your posts have been dedicated to how much ME3 will be bad? Seriously go into your history and check, I'm curious.

Who the hell do you think you are?

You've been trailing me since I joined the blasted forums. YOU MY FRIEND don't get to talk to me about "vendettas".


Plus the only bias I have is to logic, evidence and sound reasoning. If my bias works against Bioware, then that's just too damn bad.

Yeah, the "logic" that people constantly came up with good arguments for but you constantly dismissed them, and practically everyone on this site, even people who don't like ME3, think that you're a few crayons short of a box, that's not the kind of "logic" that I smile on.

As for your other question, I am an ME fan that frequents this website a lot, are you really surprised that you keep bumping into me? If I really had it in for you, I would reply to every post that you ever made, I did not.

Who the Hell do I think I am?......WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!
