Multiplayer missions

[Rhazes]

I haven't played this in a few years. The mutiplayer missions were amazing and so much fun. It was surprising because the only other game I enjoyed multiplayer like that was LFD series. Is there any other games with multiplayer combat like this? Also, is people still playing the multiplayer because I might have to reinstall again.

Look for any team based game with a horde mode. That's basically what the original trilogy had. The remaster does not have multiplayer.

Killing Floor has wave based multiplayer survival.

People do still play ME3 Multiplayer. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people bought this game, and then went and bought ME3 on sale to play the multiplayer. BioWare should in fact, do a promotion, where if you own this game, you can get ME3 for a dirt cheap price, so you can play the multiplayer.

Or they should just add the MP like they promised on release "if people show interest".

They have, however MP was still not delivered.

I think they omitted the word "enough" between "If" and "people"

The multiplayer for Mass Effect was a joke and I'm glad they did away with it in Legendary Edition. That said, I suspect you would enjoy the multiplayer for the Gears of War series.

Na come on it was so fun to play a Krogan biotic just brawling in, or some sniper Geth. You could really play whatever you wanted, and on hardcore it was hit & run to survive.

Like I said, it was a joke only added by the devs so the player could grind EMS for singleplayer. It was a redundant, goofy and altogether useless mode, as Legendary Edition proved.

It doesn't prove ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ even if it is a bonus mode lol
Why would they made the multiplayer again when Mass Effect Andromeda multiplayer was still there ?

Andromeda is dogwater, no one plays it. Legendary Edition is the definitive Mass Effect game and the omission of Multiplayer from it speaks volumes. It was a mistake, plain and simple, so they corrected it with LE. Mass Effect is always going to be a singleplayer space opera experience, regardless of how often and loudly the "bring back Multiplayer" kids cry in these forums.

As someone who played the hell out of ME3 MP for like four years post release, I can say it's not needed.

It's a good thing you don't run a business. It wouldn't be around long. First, the only person that is "often & loudly" repeating their OPINION over and over, is you. Take a rest. We get it, you don't like ME3 MP. Everybody knows that now. That and a $1.79 will buy you a cup of coffee.

Meanwhile, the largest thread on this forum is people asking where multiplayer is. 11 years later, people are still playing ME3 MP.

Your post also indicates that you don't even know why it was added to OT ME3. It wasn't added so players could grind EMS. It was added so the company could make money. It was not excluded from LE based on whether it was needed, or whether it was a mistake. It was a money decision.

Originally, for ME3 OT, it was a money scheme. To encourage people to play it, which they hoped would translate into people buying the loot crates, they made it mandatory to get the highest fleet strength. People complained loudly, so they corrected it, making it unnecessary, but helpful.

Most people playing it, and enjoying it, actually didn't care about it helping EMS. That part could have been removed and people would have still played. Most never cashed in a maxxed out set for the bonus points. People just enjoyed playing as different races and classes. Where else are you going to play as an Asari, Turian, Geth, Batarian, etc. That's why they played it. Not for EMS.

If you don't like it, cool, but your opinion of it means nothing. Ranting over and over doesn't make your opinion mean anything. Most people on here have you blocked anyway. How do I know? They told me, and encourage me to do the same.

The decision to not include it was about money. They could pay a dev to remaster the MP, and get no money in return for it, or they could let the people who really wanted to play it, buy the OT version, which gives them more money, while not having to pay a Dev to do any work. Many people have bought it. I know some who did, since it's not included with the LE. This is a win for EA/BioWare. It's about money, and money alone.

True, not needed, but that doesn't mean it's a mistake, or useless. It was fun, and presently, the only way to play as anything you want.

If I recall correctly, one of the top Devs at BioWare defined "enough interest" as enough sales of the game. Well, they themselves said sales exceeded their most optimistic expectations.

It really just came down to money. They already had out money. Paying devs to update the MP would cost money, and open up a can of worms. Loot crate monetization isn't very popular these days. It may have sparked a backlash if they kept that as part of the game.

So the people who really want to play the MP, and don't already have ME3, just buy it and start playing. That's a win for EA/BioWare.

Multiplayer Mode was originally a DLC and personally I think by ME3, the multiplayer combat system was perfected. True, it would take a while to fully equiped (like attaining all the weapon upgrades, and all the biotic and tech abilities). But one get them, the "true colours" of ME will show. I can go to say, the campaign mode is a long training session for the multiplayer mode. ME Andromeda multiplayer mode was not an improved version but rather adding more fancy stuff in there.
The Legendary edition does not include multiplayer mode which I think is a purely economical decision. EA wants to get as much earning for an old production without spending a lot (as they did edited the 3 games and bunched them in this legendary edition). Multiplayer mode requires servers which in turn requires higher cost for maintenance and support. So, yes, as other have said, if you want multiplayer mode, purchase the original ME and get the multiplayer mode that way.

Your cries are falling on deaf ears, kiddo. You can type up blocks of text all you want, it's not bringing back that pathetic multiplayer mode, ever. Give it up already and try to accept reality for once.

Stop projecting. Nobody is crying except you, Junior. BioWare is not going to add MP. Everyone knows that. Everyone also knows you don't like it. So stop crying just because some new people come here to ask, and or complain about it not being included. Nobody cares what you think. Seriously. NOBODY.

I tell them to buy OT:ME3. You cry about them wanting multiplayer. Stop it. It's not a good look.
