Yup and I loved it, My favorite thing about ME3 was the combat and I play at least 6 MP matches a day. It's addicting

Hope the maps are free though. If they released paid DLC maps in a game like this, it would just splinter the community and it would die off.

I did at first just to build up my Readiness, but the game was actually fun. There are some hiccups with connections, but overall it was pretty enjoyable when you're playing with a decent team. Easy to level up and unlock stuff, missions are clear cut and the level layouts are alright.

Yeah, I wouldn't buy multiplayer maps. I can gladly just stick to the one I like. Evidence: 90% of my TF2 time has been spent in just two maps.

I mostly played it to raise my readiness (Even though the end will suck anyway). I do really like it though but I don't imagine playing it much in the future.

I bought it for the single player, it's the main thing I'm interested in, but I've still played quite a bit of the multiplayer as well. Enough to get my N7 level up to over 100 anyway.

Ohhhhhhh your not missing out on much. Sure I can beat the ever living bugger out of Phantoms, sure I can survive two direct rockets to the face, sure I can run faster than any of the other races and sure I have the best melee animation but it's not that much to brag about.
I want a Krogan so much after seeing a Krogan sentinel yesterday throwing everything to the other side of the map. The ability to melee a ravager to death in a couple of hits seems kinda handy.

Firebase Dagger is awesome because you can stand at the building at the top with a Black Widow and destroy everything.

Honestly, the multiplayer isn't bad. I just don't like how you really have to have at least 3 people to have much of a chance, unless both players are really good and/or have supplies. Of course, now that I've made my Vanguard upgraded in charge and general, I can make it to wave 7 solo. But those bigger creatures always end me (geth prime, atlas mechs, banshees, etc).

Damn, that's surprising. I don't think I've ever seen multiplayer get such an overwhelming positive response, especially after people were going off about how it was all corruption by EA and it was so obviously just tacked on to get the CoD audience.

Its well put together, but it didn't hold my attention what so ever when I played the demo. I played maybe four matches and got bored of it, frankly there are games that do this type of stuff much better.

Quite a bit off topic here but, that's how TF2 usually is with a lot of people. They find a map they like, and stick with it. That's why there is so many 24/7 servers, it's kind of obnoxious really. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with those servers but it makes it harder to find ones with a variety of maps.

Back on topic, I think ME3 could really use a better variety of maps though. All of them are vaguely industrial complexes (Kind of like TF2 actually) with maybe the exception of the map on Benning which is supposed to be a town. I get that it's using assets from the main game, but it would be nice to have some unique maps.

And that's before I realized how retarded-good pistol only, charge/nova Vandgaurd was on bronze. Trolololo. Now if I need to unwind, I just boot up multiplayer and become a biotic god.

Also, Melee only Krogan Sentinel is also hilarious, though I hear it's not viable on silver/gold.
speeking as someone who does, it is hard, but possible.

Yeah...and mine is a 24/7 2Fort server, which many TF2ers would scoff at. But the community (The Roost) is very mature and a joy to play with. They have added a third server for "events" and variety, though.

Yeah, I wish they would have incorporated some main mission locations, such as the monastery. Probably not the whole thing, but enough. The one map I despise is called Cyone, I think. It's dark, ugly, and I really have trouble with enemies flanking me there.

Yeah im really surprised, i was expecting maybe only 20% of people to actually like it given the incredible hostility towards anything EA/BW/ME3 related on this forum.

Surprisingly for me i like all the me3 maps equally... normally in multiplayer games i only like 1-2 maps, for example in BF2 ive spent 100+ hours playing ONE map with maybe only a few hours on all the others put together

I like the multiplayer, but those packs you buy to get equipment and stuff fuck me over. Im STILL using the basic m-8 avenger and predator pistol at level 20 cause i never get anything good out of them!

I like it, but the I hope more stuff is on the way for it. Needs a little more variation as well. But it's still enjoyable regardless.

really enjoying it, though I wish WA servers could cope with more than 3 people trying to access it at once!

The existence of the MP had no impact on my purchase at all. I didn't play the demo/beta and didn't even have an active Gold level XBL account. After playing the MP for an evening, I have since resubbed at Gold level pretty much just for ME3 MP. Due to it's repetitive nature I can't say that I will still be playing it a couple months from now but, for now, I'm having a tremendous time with it.

It's really fun and because of the increase in readiness my E.M.S was 6'500 +. Yet I still get knocked unconscious by Harbinger and have that weird ass dream.

You have to save for the expensive 60,000 credit one. I do get new characters and weapons occasionally with the 20K one, but I've never gotten anything good from the 5K one.
