The Most Underrated Multiplayer in a Decade | Mass Effect 3 MP

[@Bricky]

Check out - AdamandEve.com. Code: BRICKY. 50% Off 1 Item + Free Shipping in the US & Canada I've wanted to make a video on ME3 MP for a while now. Snagging an Adam and Eve sponsorship is just that icing on the cake. This is one of my favorite multiplayers and one that I would call the most underrated of the decade without exaggeration. I truly hope the remaster brings it back.

Just remember, you could play as an Awakened Collector in multiplayer. You know, a Collector who broke free from Harbinger, remembers their memories as a Prothean and now hunts down the Reapers using advanced Reaper biotics? Fucking awesome.

[@enderfire3379]

i loved it that they included theese characters from the story. at the end of the side mission legion gives you, a squad of geth destroyers end up joining you, in multiplayer geth destroyer is an option. at the end off the Leviathan DLC they offer you their support and use their indoctronation abilities to turn collectors to your side, in multiplayer you can play as theese collectors.

[@Raycevick]

Thank you for this trip down memory lane. As much as I've criticized Bioware for their over reliance on high-health, high-damage enemies for tension, you make a great point on the enemy variety and how much the variety in player characters helped this multiplayer feel unique despite what's laid out on paper. I think for Mass Effect fans, it was special being able to show the universe in a way that wouldn't be possible in Campaign. Does an unpossessed Collector shooting alongside a Geth, helping their Teleporting Poison Turion and Biotic Hammering Krogan make sense? Not really. Is it awesome? Hell yes!

Little story: My brothers and I call the Krogan charge 'the Steve' One time we were playing and had a random who played a Krogan, and he never ONCE fired his gun. This man's name was ScubaStevexx. He would run around the map finishing off most of our kills with the Krogan charge, and so we kept saying that they got Steve's and would yell 'Scuba Steve, damn you!' while laughing our asses off. After that match we all played Krogans and ran around the map 'Steveing' people, and it holds true to this day.

This mode was a healing salve on my young traumatized mind in the wake of that absolutely soul shattering ending. I liked it because besides being a genuinely very fun mode, it was a canon/lore friendly mode where you could imagine being one of the 1000’s of elite teams or ragtag groups who fought the reaper threat. Back when the still had an imagination this allowed me to engage in light role playing with my characters and teams I built and grew.

I told him never heard of her must be one of those kids that go to that rich school. He never brought her up again whenever he was with me. Few months later I saw mass effect 2 for sale and got it and saw that name... it clicked that he thought I knew who she was, which was a fake. Next day I went up to him and said "Bro your girl is a illegal immigrant" he paused and started to laugh. I kept it a secret ever since not to expose him like that.

EDIT: I don't recall the map, but on Platinum you could take 2 Geth Juggernauts and 2 of the Volus that gave shields. The Juggernauts could sit outside a crate that the big enemies couldn't get into, and the Volus would chill in there buffing, and you just spammed heavy melee on the Juggernauts because it drained the target and gave shields. That, with the damage reduction from the little missiles the Juggernauts could shoot, made Platinum wins super free.

My fave Shepard in ME3 was always a Sentinel, give them Warp Ammo and you have all types of abilites Soldier/Adept/Tech. But for the Multiplayer, my fave was just OG Engineer with a M-13 Raptor sniper and M-25 Hornet smg. Speced out right, you can handle everything at every range and you get your Drone for support. I played the hell out of it back in the day.

Funfact, the ME3MP is still up since it's PtP based (though the Legendary Edition version of ME3 doesn't come with the MP, you still need the original release ME3 game for that). Second funfact, BioWare has long since stopped policing the MP so if you want to you can absolutely skip the grind (or however much a portion of it) by just cheating yourself a couple million credits via console commands, bypassing the random loot progression without any fear of getting your account suspended. You may also occasionally run into hosts who've heavily modified the game though so don't be surprised if you join a random game and stuff is whack.

[@steelbear2063]

So there will be no repercussions for cheating?

[@DHollan]

I just ran across this video. This was a fun trip down memory lane. The bit about how we patched weekly was interesting. We had myself and the combat team meet every Wednesday to discuss which weapons needed tweaking. Eric Fagnan had a chart showing where he wanted each weapon to sit according to a planned progression. Much of the metrics gathered were to see which weapons were receiving the most love and tweaking them accordingly so we would eventually see them settle exactly where we wanted it. I spent my Monday's testing the patch on each platform to ensure we hadn't broken anything. Since it was a small file that simply carried number tweaks, and as long as we kept that file under a certain size, we didn't require certification from Sony or Microsoft. I spent Thursday's checking the temporary patch for each weekend event. As I was the last person to handle the patch, I was the one who kept everyone on schedule so that each item was handled by a particular team member or members on certain days. It ran like clockwork thanks to a checklist Noel Borstad had put together for me to use. You can thank Brenon Holmes for the array of enemies and how they worked tactically. I shared my office space with Noel and Brenon, so I got regular updates on enemy progress. Initially, Brenon was against the idea of mixing factions in Platinum difficulty as each faction was balanced by their individual roles and how they contributed to ongoing combat. We wore him down eventually. Any free time I had I spent on the multiplayer section of the forums to see if there were glaring issues and to just generally have fun with the community. We were encouraged to do that. So, thanks for the nostalgia. It was fun. I really enjoyed my time at BioWare and it was great engaging the fans and jumping into random lobbies with them. It was a time I will never forget. Cheers! Derek "BWEGhost" Hollan

To anyone who decides to get into mass effect 3 multiplayer, if you play on PC (Which I would strongly recommend) you can open the command console by pressing "~" and enter the following "Unlockallmpkits Grantmpcredits 150000000" To unlock all characters and give yourself a shitload of credits to unlock guns. EA does not and cannot ban you for this and it makes the game infinitely more interesting. Asari Justicar Gang btw

[@jollter]

I would feel a lot less compelled to play if I didn't have some sense of progression as I went along. I don't recommend doing this for anyone just getting into this mode, as it ruins most of the fun.

[@k-ai-ne]

@@jollter I second this, getting every agent will make the your brain have an aneurysm with how many skills, passives, and builds you can choose from. Starting with the starter classes is a good way to get into and find what kind of playstyle you like the most. Also with mp creds, id be cautious with it. If you have a maxed out gun, you will steamroll through bronze and silver and lessens the fun while your learning the game. However, I'm not against it completely cause fuck loot boxes.

[@Nethingispossible145]

might do this, I appreciate the tip. I played the multiplayer when I was a console pleb ages ago, but I dont want to have to spend the lifetime it took to grind out what I had unlocked all over again. Sidestepping that issue could definitely motivate me to pick up the multiplayer again

[@houndofculann1793]

@@Nethingispossible145 I'd advise to use the credit cheat, but not by that much. Just enough to get you a sweet bunch of unlockables to give you more fun options to choose from, and then progress legitimately from there.

Completely agree, such a gem. Shame that a lot of people never really got into it. I think they assumed the MP was crap because they got so frustrated with the ending of the SP. Another gem I still play is The Last Stand mode of Dawn of War II Retribution. Loads of builds to mess around with and so many potential team comps. Easy to pick up, hard to master and the progression isn't a punch in the face.

[@TeKnoVKNG23]

Great video that covered so many of the reasons why I loved this "tacked on" multiplayer, it truly did surprise everyone with just how good it was. The multiplayer really was a hidden gem that I somehow managed to put 700+ hours into without even realizing it. Just being able to play as the different characters, it being co-op instead of pvp like every single shooter out there, being able to have fun with all the different builds and weapon combinations you could come up with, the accidental team synergy you'd wind up having with random people without being in voice or really trying, biotic explosions, etc. Just an incredible co-op experience and having the companion website and being able to unlock the challenges and name plates was also a really cool feature. It was just so in depth and fun to play, which is what made Andromeda feel so much worse because they seemed like they didn't know how to carry that over to Andromeda's multiplayer. I never found the monetization to be that bad and in all honesty if you knew how to manipulate the packs(buy all recruit packs until you got the recruit level weapons to "X" etc.) you could actually set it up so you'd be sure to get decent gear as you moved up in pack level. I never really spent anything and found it pretty easy to get decent gear and a couple of characters just by making sure I was playing the system by maxing out the gear/guns in recruit packs before moving on to the next level and repeating the process.

I miss this multiplayer so much. I played it for almost two straight years, long after I finished the main game. I had a distinct build/ammo/weapon setup for every single class, every class was viable to a point (though some way more than others but that's just how it is.), and what I loved is that there was legitimate tech in the MP. From knowing just how to take full advantage of priming and what ammo to take, to the many hidden techs like the many cancels; animation cancels, reload cancels (especially Claymore), Nova cancel. The Geth Shotgun double shot, to name a few tricks. It walked this fine line between stable and broken that allowed it to function well (eventually, when they at least fixed the infamous Vangaurd glitch.) but was broken *just* enough for there to be cool tricks you could do. It was so much fun, something I've found myself having to both tell and convince people of over the years. Many sing its praises but just as many completely wrote it off and ignorantly continue to write it off, having completely missed out on it. I remember when Andromeda came out later, I didn't even try the single player first, I went straight to its MP because I wanted lightning to strike twice. Unfortunately like the rest of the package though, it didn't hold a candle to the ME3MP.

[@thedeepthought2064]

This was such an amazing online multiplayer mode. This has to be in the new Mass Effect Legendary Edition if not for ME3 campaign just to be there. This was so fun and intense. I'd play another 500 hours of this.
