No offense, but what are grunts supposed to do against Reapers? Unless the maps are set-up around creating defenses against the Reapers, or activating BFGs, then all the game will be is nameless grunts against fodder in one pointless struggle after another (Grunts can't outshine Sheppard after all). Now if Bioware provides some sort of flight level, at least then it will seem like the grunts are actually fighting the Reapers as opposed to simply killing mindless drones...

That's like saying certain side quests are optional, except the whole concept is that it's multiplayer colliding with the single player. I'm withholding further judgement until I see how it works though.

As far as I can see you don't need to play MP if you don't want to so if you don't like MP then you simply don't play it and it doesn't affect the SP in any way. It's basically like any game that provides online/offline play expect that online can affect your SP if you choose to do so. Yes that is only based at face value atm but if what they are saying is true then I see no need for SP fanatics to be raging. I would have thought any season player here could see that they have gone to great lengths first and foremost at providing a solid SP game like always but they have also taken up the challenge of MP now but as a optional thing. Depsite what anyone thinks of EA or some of Bioware preious works, I think ME3 is a safe bet they won't really mess it up too much.

You do realize you would have paid the same standard retail price for the game even if they didn't put in multiplayer, right? Virtually all new releases start with the usual $60,- price tag. Both former Mass Effect games did, and they didn't even have multiplayer.
Hell, looking back on what I just wrote, it means they're giving you multiplayer for free. |

The complaints about MP simply existing in ME3 make me ROFLMAO hard. I really don't get why simply adding a MP mode ruins anything. So long as the thing doesn't feel tacked on and makes enough sense in terms of the franchise I'm okay with it. At the very least, the fact it's co-op makes me very happy.
And guys, the MP is being developed by a separate team off in a separate studio in a different city anyway so any assumption that it's taking away development of the single player is entirely false. |
