They're looking to hire a "multiplayer programmer" for ME. This is terrible.

hmm, I actually hope it's single player. TBH, I thought the same with Bioshock 2. The multiplayer was good, but the single player outshines it in every way. Personally, I would've liked it the same with or without and get the game earlier.

That's gonna be bad lol, unless if course it's like playing around in the ME universe where you have mulitplayer focused missions with gradual updates and you can PVP... of course this all sounds like a mmo so that aint happening.

What the hell?

I hope the main team focuses on the story as the last should be absolutely stellar.

the second one was just fine the way it was, multiplayer would ruin it if they use the same combat

Bioware has probably decided that because MW2 is vastly outselling ME2, IW probably is doing something right. CONFIRMED: Mass Effect 2 will have One Man Army and Noob Toobs.

If it doesn't take away from the single player, then ok. Thinking about it though, squad vs squad matches could be insane. SP is fun but your squad isn't always maximizing their full potential like us humans could. Area Overload + Area Incinerate + Area Singularity + Area Throw = ragdoll city.

Dont worry, there is no chance it wont be Single player, all of ME1-2 are SP, the only thing would be adding co-op, online or not, that is all that could ever happen

Also nothing i certain, it could be for a ME MMO, after ME3

I cant see how that'd work at all. Maybe Coop but even that would be hard to implement without destroying the single player ...

remember bioshock 2? "OH NOES MULTIPLAY WILL RUIN GAEM"

then it turned out to be fine. scc also had awesome multiplayer desite being regarded widely as a mostly single-player game. hold your raging tears back until we see the final product, or at least some inkling of what it will be like.

personally i think a small, self-contained mass effect multiplayer mode could be awesome.

that would be fun if the combat wasn't so repetitive, it just would be weird going from one room to the next fighting hordes of enemies over an over again and what about the dialogue?

Those are kind of bad examples. Bioshock 2's single player wasn't as good as the original.

As long as it doesn't detract from the single-player experience it can only be a positive addition.

I, unlike most it seems, can place faith in a developer to do the right thing. I trust BioWare to only add multi-player if they feel they can pull it off in an excellent manner.

To be fair, I heard there will be more Mass Effect games after the 3rd, and I heard one of them is a MMORPG.

Perhaps it could have been condensed or written better in the first place so it doesn't have to drag on for two extra games?

I never said I didn't like Mass Effect. I don't like the fact that every game that comes out this gen has to have 1 to 2 goddamn sequels. Is that so ****ing hard to understand?

Yes.

The story is big, was planned to be big from the beginning so it spans over 3 games. Its no different to a movie trilogy (more expensive i suppose but ah well).

ME1 and ME2 are very different in gameplay mechanics this isn't just a sequel like 99 percent of all of these new gen sequels. If you never played a ME game and you come here saying OH ANOTHER sequel you are either trolling or just being plain hateful.

Maybe the story wouldnt work if it was made to fit one game?

If ME3 has multiplayer. I got money on the following the MP to not be all that good The single player to be a letdown because Bioware is bound to screw that up trying to do MP for the first time.

I'm not trolling or being hateful. I don't see how not having played a Mass Effect game correlates to me hating the series. I just don't like how every game is getting a sequel. Mass Effect 3 is another sequel, Killzone 3 is another sequel, Halo Reach is another sequel, LittleBigPlanet 2 is another sequel. They're all sequels.

Sequels = been there, done that.

Okay play ME1 and then ME2, to see for yourself. This isn't just another shooter rehash system seller (Halo all of em or Killzone for that matter!) Yes it will matter because ME2 is something you haven't done.
