Changes you'd like to see in Mass Effect 3's multiplayer

[RJ 17]

Damn you! I only have the Asari Vanguard and the Drell Adept is so squishy and doesn't have stasis. Sad day.

That's what it was, now that you mentioned it I recall it was the Vanguard that I got.

But I'm assuming the Widow is a rare drop? If so I'm gonna start saving up and buying specter packs. A lvl 4 Mantis is pretty decent, but if I'm gonna be trying Silver and Gold I need something with a bit more "umph".

Yeah the Widow is a normal rare. The Black Widow is a super rare. Haven't gotten any super rares myself yet.

If I manage to get my hands on a Black Widow...yeah, I'll probably need a clean pair of underpants. >.>

 

[AlmostLikeLife]

Like one person in here said, I would like to see some "Infiltration" type gameplay (Fight from A to B, defend B, fight back to A).

A sort of "level match" system would be nice. So I could get put in games with players around my level (60-something), so I'm not in with people playing their very first MP match.

I also like the idea someone mentioned about "categorizing" the random drop packs into Weapon Upgrades, Equipment, Characters, etc. packs. I never use shotguns in MP, since I prefer to hang back and shoot from a distance. So why do I keep getting new shotguns or upgrades for them that I'll never use? My preferred weapon is the assault rifle. I have received a new weapon for every slot except the assault rifle. I have 2 sniper rifles, 3 SMGs, 4 shotguns, 2 pistols, and 1 assault rifle. Though, my M-8 Avenger is level 6 now so I can't really complain. Also, give me customization options for the other races, not just humans. My Drell and Turian characters are looking pretty bland.

I'd like to see the Promote system slightly changed.

Specifically, when you promote a class why does it have to erase the characters? it's annoying. Set the level back to one, there's no reason to make me remake the character and choose the appearance options again every time.

I'd also like to see the level system be character specific rather than per class.

Also, some options to better support playing solo. At the very least, the option to have some control over which game modes can show up in the waves. The mode where you have to run around and active the terminals is a pain in the ass going solo.

Beyond that, fairly happy with it. More maps, more modes, more options. Whatever, anything is good if it happens to come along. I also consider the way it influences the main game to be a complete waste of time.

 

[TakeshiLive]

Wow, no one else thought of this?

NO MOAR ONLINE PASSES, PUBLISHERS!

Don't try to kill the second hand game industry, please... :'(
I'd hate to get ME3 second hand and miss out on the MP this way and I feel sorry for anyone who does.

 

[YuheJi]

[my friend's lvl 15 soldier can't even handle Silver yet (I think he's just a pussy ).

Either that, or it's because he's using the Soldier class. It sucks.

lol that could very well be the case. I'll keep that in mind and let him know he's playing a worthless class.

It is super dependent on good weapons. I really want to play my Turian soldier but I have realized there is no point until I get a godmode assault rifle. I hear the Revenant is only good when in the hands of a Turian with marksman

That was always my problem with the Revenant...yeah, it's powerful as all hell, but good luck hitting anything with it. That's why I prefer the good ol' Sniper Rifle. Seriously, I would kill someone - in front of their own mother - to get a Widow in multiplayer. O.O

I'll trade for the Asari Adept. I swear I unlocked that thing like 4 times in the demo and haven't seen anyone that has her since the game launched! At least I have the Carnifex

Oh, Asari Adept is amazing. It's all I play now, and it makes headshots so easy! I just run around with a sniper rifle with stasis maxed out.

 

[rje5]

I'm with a lot of people with the random unlocks. How about random unlocks new stuff first, and you level them up by using them. Maybe so much damage done with the weapon (since there are a lot of kill steals, by accident mostly).

 

[hazabaza1]

GIVE ME A FUCKING KROGAN ALREADY FDSAUHFASIOFNAYIFGMEKRFEK
Also make it so either Banshees and Phantom only instant incap, or do something to the Reaper forces. I mean, fuck, man, that's shit's crazy.

 

[Wereduck]

I want to be able to play as any race as any class. I REALLY wanted to play as a turian/krogan vanguard, but it's kind of limited.

Also, Elcor needs to be a playable race. Mass Effect 3 was just generally lacking in the elcor department.

A thousand times this! Now I want to get my Elcor Vanguard on.
...then once I've maxed out the Elcor Vanguard I can focus on my Hanar Soldier build.

 

[Sean Hollyman]

What the hell are reinforcemenr packs?

There's a load of greyed out things on the color select screen.

I actually have quite the assortment of assault rifles and I usually find myself going back to the Avenger. I seem to do better with it from medium to long range than any other rifle as far as accuracy and damage go. I forget the name but the one that shoots mini grenades is nice too. The revenant is a piece of garbage unless you have marksman or are directly on top of the enemy.

 

[SadisticBrownie]

As people have been saying, new game modes and more armour customisation would be nice. Would also be good to have a similar upgrade system to that in the main game in addition to the random packs.
Also, there's a common bug (so far only experienced as a vanguard) that elevates you slightly off the map meaning you can't take cover, and then you end up falling indefinitely. Highly annoying, needs to be fixed.

 

[DustyDrB]

Has anyone bought one of these new kinds of packs (that go for 20,000, I think)? What exactly is in them? I really am getting sick of not finding shotguns. I have to laugh every time a find another freaking sniper rifle.

 

[Issurru]

give us the option to purchase what we want, if i use real money i dont want the outcome to be random, give me the option to buy a damn krogan.

A million times this, i'm tired of buying specter packs and getting everything BUT the damn Turian Sentinel. Seriously, the only thing I want and I get all the other classes and weapons first... >_<

I'd like to see more customisation, eg. different helmets and armor pieces, more levels, maybe some different game types, and possibly the option to level up your weapons, without having to randomly get them in a pack.

This too, I think that it would make the multiplayer Infinitely better to be able to use any of the armor pieces you obtained in ME3 to tweak your character out.

 

[Souplex]

Give us Krogan Vanguards (If that leaked image is to believe, they will) and Turian Infiltrators.
Give us the ability to trade items. It only makes sense with a random pack format.
Fix that bug where I start bouncing up and down until I fly out of the map.

These are actually kind of awesome and I would like to see some more of them for other categories. Basically they are equipment packs. Medi Gels, Rockets, Ammo Clips, those survival packs that give you your health and armor back and ammo types for combat. There may also be some armor and weapon rails. Not sure, I have only bought one. If you are planning on tackling gold and/or have the weapons and characters you want already, I'd say buy a bunch of these.

Elcor don't fight like traditional classes according to the lore; they fight with VI assisted turrets on their backs.
I would like to see a Hannar use 8 pistols at once and use it's grip and toxins to incapacitate foes.

Or the Hanar could incapacitate you by going on and on about it's religion until your eyes glaze over. Or it could go anime tentacle style on enemies leaving them huddled in the corner wondering what the hell just happened.

For me, I'd like two main changes, mainly being able to buy specific weapon or character packs, and to be able to use credits to reset your powers.

Considering the 'special' Equipment Pack they have in the store now, weapon and character packs are sure to be happening eventually. But the power-reset? I doubt. I just wish I could reset the powers for my Quarian Infiltrator, mainly Sabotage. After all, since I didn't take the chance to make enemies take damage when their weapons overheat, so its pretty much useless against everything but Turrets, the Atlas, and the Geth.

But god do I still love my Quarian Infiltrator. I'm kind of surprised they're as popular as they are.

I haven't read any out-of-game lore but that sounds frakking weak dude : (

I suppose I can live with Elcor fighting via VI proxies though, just as long as I get to hear one say "Cheerfully: Hello dead people." followed by a biotic charge.

 

[Phlakes]

Nerf Charge+Nova. It takes the risk out of high risk, high reward. And I'll agree with everyone else about random unlocks, and customizable armor.
