Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer a big deal?

[FearoftheNight]

Anyone know if this will be a big feature that will add replay value and content? Or it is a cool side game that is just a brief diversion? I'm a huge ME fan 🙂.

if you were a huge ME fan you probably would already know the answer to this.

just sayin

Nobody knows how long an MP game will last until it dies. The demo has MP though. You can try it for yourself to see if you like it.

I think it's "filler" to add more value, I don't think they put much effort into MP compared to the normal story. Similarly to how Call of Duty games have SP, it's just not the focus.

I played MP on the demo last night; it's horde mode. My friends and I love horde mode, so we had a great time.

The mechanics were pretty smooth and fluid. Action was fast paced. I liked the sound effects and quality quite a bit - like when you have multiple power effects combining (i.e. pull + throw), it makes for a rad sonic boom-like sound.

is there a number of levels? how much content will be there for the final retail version?

Per the pre-launch scuttlebutt there will be at least 2 maps for each one of the combat areas you see on the demo map at launch. There will also be at least 2 or more distinct enemy types you can fight Cerebus + the reapers minions, plus a third (maybe a combo of the two) has been hinted at. Only a portion (like a third) of the possible weapons and upgrades are present in the MP demo as well as more 'pack types'.

I liked it but you gotta communicate so you don't get shot in the back

Is there a reason you didn't just try out the demo?

I thought the MP was kinda fun. You had like objectives to do and stuff while fighting waves of enemies. Pretty cool.
