Wait, so the only the collectors edition has the online pass? :roll:

It's indeed weird how they put it as a bonus go collector edition, but theses kind of leaks are generally very precise. So I say there is a good chance ME3 will have a multiplayer, which is a good thing.

Come on now, you're smarter than that. Obviously its listing things that come with but not exclusively with the collector's edition. How you could gather from that that the standard edition doesn't come with the online pass is all you man, its all you.

Really? I think any arena-style multiplayer for Mass Effect 3 would be horrible.

I can see it. The shooting and powers would make for some fun class based or hectic Halo like gameplay, and if anything co-op is never bad. Having your Shephard and the Shephards of your buddies fighting against waves of Geth, or something like that, one player sniping while another sets up turrets and a third slams and shotguns the ones that get close.

I can dig it.

As much of a Mass Effect fan I am. I'm disappointed to hear that ME3 will have some sort of multiplayer. The gameplay mechanics will feel weird if it's competitive. I knew the GameInformer info was too good to be true since some of the features and statements seem bogus at this point.

Well if it's co-op it might be fun for a while. I'd rather have all resources aimed for the single player.

I could see co-op happening, though imo the combat in ME is too weaksauce for co-op or mp

I deathmatch type of multiplayer for ME wouldn't work. But co-op and horde made would perfectly fit. Actually, it would be a waste not to have them in ME3.

I think they should have released a sort of multiplayer with a new Mass Effect series after the Shepard story arch is complete. With all the large worlds,races,biotic n tech powers and character customizability the game has,its got potential to be a huge multiplayer game but i dont feel it should be done with this particular third installment. On the other hand tho,who knows if they have the large staff to pull it off

800 people work at BioWare...I think they have more than enough staff.

If they do have enough to make it happen,they should squeeze every last bit of stuff from the Mass Effect universe and integrate it to make a robust and deep multiplayer. Prob with a level 100 cap and assaulted weapons,biotic n tech powers, character skins and diff alien races and diff kinda armour,barrier etc. Mass Effects world is so deep that making a multiplayer feels like some MMO

Full game co-op like BG2 would be ok with me.

It could be some DLC deal thing, like a pass for free/discounted DLC, or something similar to the Cerberus network

[QUOTE="Steameffekt"][QUOTE="mrmusicman247"] Arena style? Psh. I'm thinking co-op. Jynxzor

please be campaign co-op...please be campaign co-op...please be campaign co-op!!! preferrably splitscreen but i could live with online only

[QUOTE="Jynxzor"]

[QUOTE="Steameffekt"] Yeah same here. Co-op would be superb if done right.mrmusicman247

The only way I would accept Co-op is if you could have an AI partner in place of the regular partner.

I just want Mass Effect to remain a single-player title.

[QUOTE="mrmusicman247"][QUOTE="Jynxzor"] Or make the game a utter cakewalk on even the most brutal difficulty.

*prays they didn't sacrefice the story, in order to an extra checkmark on the back of the box*

I'm hoping for co-op. Player vs player would not work.

Competitive class based MP would fit really well, looking forward to it if true. I don't want co-op because I don't want the SP experience to be Geared towards it, hint hint.

Vaasman

Yeah, but if there's co-op only levels I want it to be playable both singleplayer and multiplayer.

padaporra

Nice, can't wait for some team deathmatch, and capture the flag. Wonder if we'll get dlc maps too!

:P I probably won't even touch the online if it happens, unless you can play a survival mode offline.

I will only accept co-op.

No need to be so narrow-minded. Why does multiplayer have to be a naughty thing? I love multiplayer in most games. IF it is multiplayer, let's see how it works. I don't know why they cannot implement multiplayer in a way that is representative of the quality of work Bioware is known for in it's single player experience.

[QUOTE="Steameffekt"][QUOTE="mrmusicman247"] Arena style? Psh. I'm thinking co-op. Jynxzor

Implying either ME1 or ME2 were remotely hard on insane :P

I'd welcome co-op. It'll make the inevitable boredom of ME "Whack-a-mole" style gameplay at least somewhat more entertaining. Hopefully Bioware doesn't think that adding shields/armor to all enemies constitutes difficulty though.

I guess this is the mind-blowing announcement that was supposed to be made last week and got pushed to next month. I'm excited to see what it is, but I'm really hoping its co-operative or at the least competitive scoring based.

gamer620

In this case that's irrelevant because the flyer explicitly stated "Online Multiplayer Pass" for Mass Effect 3.

A horde style co-op could actually be a smart addition. I just hope they don't try to pull off a versus mode. That would be horrible.

:| Will definitely be sure to cancel my preorder next time I'm at GameStop. Way to ruin Mass Effect, EA. This series is officially dead to me now.

:lol: yeah i'm deffinietly not buying this game. On top of it not being an RPG, now they tack on MP AND Online passes (if the rumor is true) ? The_Pacific

Soon Mass Effect will be just another generic, linear sci-fi TPS.

Watch as they remove choices in Mass Effect 4 because "the player doesn't need it."
