oh hey hobnail those were good games yesterday. You and Caulk got on just at the right time. The last few silvers we tried to pub ending with the other two dudes leaving after running off and dying.
Yeah man those were excellent! I hate not having a mic and not being able to say goodbye, you guys are great fun to play with
unsurprisingly, this is actually making me pretty mad
except for the maps and weapons and batarians
they can stay
Ok, I'll bite. What is bad about this? I see nothing but awesome as far as the eye can see.
up until now they have presented multiplayer like it was taking place within any singleplayer playthrough, it was just another front in the war against the reapers and didn't overlap with shepard's stuff in any way
but by actually introducing geth, they are saying "okay real shepard made this choice, so we can have geth in the multiplayer"
Ok, that actually makes sense. I get where you're coming from. Your anger seems legit.
In retrospect they probably could have avoided a lot of fan rage from the start if they had just completely divorced SP from MP, and just made MP a cool neutral zone where you could play other races for fun and profit. But if they had done that I'd never have played MP, so I'm torn.

I tell you what, you'd be pretty nervous fighting next to a friendly Geth, just waiting for some dick to hack it and make it murder the shit out of you.
I demand a Geth covered in other Geth so we can punch Reapers.

If you go into a match with everyone as a Geth, the normally useless 4 key activates the Voltron combination sequence.

They're going to have to highlight friendlies or something, because when folks are cloaked I already have a tendency to panic and shoot them in the face. With a Geth silhouette too? Yeek.

Scarab, the way you are writing your posts as if you are about to blow our minds with truth is getting slightly obnoxious.
Scarab is the opposite of fun, Stilts.
No I'm worse than that. I'm neither fun or unfun. I'm so boring you can't even pin a single emotion onto me. I'm the posting equivalent of TV static.
You're like a fun vampire.
You're the AT&T of SE++ Mass Effect 3 thread posters.
At times I wonder if you are a real-life Britta Perry.
Dude. Scarab was just describing the system analytically. Why trash him for describing exactly how and why it's put together the way it is, as well as the reason for the objective weekends, and announcements, and even the limited time offer packs?
Because he put forth his case in a "You guys like that stuff? *pfft* Man, I see through their ploy. Time for some TRUTH BOMBS" fashion.
Yes, I know that they provide artificial incentive to keep playing multiplayer. I'm also cool with that fact, so I don't need to be chided for daring to be excited about the multiplayer I enjoy playing getting larger for zero dollars.
generally speaking your enemy is highlighted and their health appears so it's not like anyone will empty a phaeston into a team-mate unless they are a moron

Friendly fire isn't a problem, though.
It is when you just burned your cloak and have to reload while more dudes are running up from the other direction.

don't you know awesome things only happen for awful reasons?
free DLC, preorder cancelled
It's not free DLC. Not in the usual sense. Most of the new content is gated behind the ccg roulette system. Meaning at the very least, it is costing you time thereby increasing your chances of buying credits instead of earning them. Just because it doesn't cost money doesn't mean it's not costing you something else.
It's the standard F2P revenue model. So don't appropriate a level of awesome to something because you think it's a gesture of goodwill. It's designed that way because it doesn't work otherwise.
Obviously, the content of the DLC is superb and ticks all the boxes that anyone could imagine. But to see the way the entire internet saw 'Krogan Vanguard' and went into hype overdrive is a little slimy. Because it's a complete manipulation of the system against you.
Look at what people have literally just said in this thread. They want to save credits for the new DLC stuff when it lands, but Premium Spectre packs are too good to pass up. You don't think that was done by design to constantly, endlessly provide you with incentives to keep playing. The moment one little perk ceases to be attractive, a new thing will be released that will pull the same strings as usual. Perpetually keeping people playing the game because it's a F2P business model.
Part of being a game is that the game provides me incentive to play it. I don't see this as some kind of slimy trick. Keeping me interesting is Bioware's job, and I'm glad to see they still know how to do it, despite the way they flubbed SP. It'd be different if the gameplay itself wasn't fun, like the way facebook games work; skinner boxes dressed up as games can be pretty sinister. But that's not what's happening here, so chill.

In that case I'd suggest getting better at vidyagames.

Quarians, captain. If geth never survived your shit, don't play them. They did in mine, I should get to use them.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
is friendly fire a thing? i notice characters will have audio cues, but ive never noticed someone take damage or go down to it
that seems like a primo way to grief
Friendly fire doesn't cause damage, but it will slow down your teammate's movement speed a hair. If you have movement speed increases it's more noticeable.
It usually isn't a problem. But when you're playing a Turian and trying to run from a Banshee grab it can be annoying.

prepare for friendly fire

quarians are available in multi though
