ME3MP Favorites - In Memory of Corey Gaspur

I'm sorry for Corey's family. I know it's hard to replace someone like that. I just hope there is some comfort in knowing he had a lasting legacy that can be easily seen.

I was one of those ME3MP beta players that was blown away from the start. I was eagerly anticipating the game and completely dived into both aspects. I had a blast with the weekend challenges. It also enabled me to make friends with some great people (one of them from Ohio, is coming to hang out this weekend). It also helped me make friends with someone who lived only 15 miles away (Younger, but cool guy)!

I have never been as proud in any game as I was of getting Best of the Best. I'm not a super amazing player, but I managed to take that Kroguard and smash through Geth like you wouldn't believe to get my 2 gold solos in my friend's living room (his internet was more stable than mine).

I will do my best to participate in the challenge. I gotta see if I have the Havoc yet on PS3 (swapped over from 360 a couple of years back). If not I may get Gold just to throw down some matches for old time's sake. Otherwise, I will honor him with my TSoldier or TSentinel.

I also finished all of DAO's dlc and story in a new playthrough. It has been a wonderful new run and I'm glad to know Corey had a hand in so many great games.

Well, damn. My condolences to Corey's friends and family.

As far as ME3 MP goes, well, picking a memory would be difficult. How about the entirety of the time I played over the last five years? Most games I play for about a month or two before abandoning, but somehow I've been playing ME3 MP ever since the demo. Suffice to say ME3 MP is the best online game I've played, and that is in no small part to the fact that the gameplay remains consistently fun and engaging even after playing almost 4000 matches.

So thank you Corey for having a hand in creating such a fantastic experience, and rest in peace.

Here's my Turian Havoc Salute:

RIP Corey and thanks for helping to create the best multi-player game ever.

I've been away a long time but I read about this yesterday and had to acknowledge. Rest well Corey and thank you for helping create a game and MP that helped me get through a rough 2012. I'm going to try my best to hop on ME3 this weekend and Havok in your name.

Decked out my Havoc in the requisite green and black and carried some pugs to victory. They sure didn't make it easy though.

I'm still playing this MP as it's the very first MP i have ever tried and i have been hooked ever since....sad to hear that this guy that contributed to this incredible MP has passed....RIP Corey....

What about using your PS4 controller? I've never done it but I believe its fairly straightforward. Might get you out of a pickle?

I don't need no Cobra, I AM the missile...

I've run into that player before, solid player iirc; didn't know they were likely a bsner.

I will be playing tonight on 360, so hopefully we can catch a game later and toast Corey with a swig of whiskey and a few missiles

Fun fact: a GoPro charger fits the PS3 controller's little charging port.

(Also had no idea you could pair a PS4 controller to the PS3??? But that's a revelation/question for a different thread...)

I'm back up and running 100% now. PS3 folks, hit me up with a good time for you! I am available up until 3:00pm EST today and all day tomorrow. K_O_513, Clyde, tmb903 where ya at, brothers?

I'm... not good with words when it comes to occasions like this. But here goes nothing.

Didn't knew Corey. Never heard of him, actually, before this thread. And like many others, I only got into multiplayer mode to get that "perfect" ending in single player.

I don't know what happened. Don't know *when* it happened. Joined the BSN boards because I wanted to talk about SP, the endings, the romances... all the things that captured my heart in this franchise. Somewhere down the line, I figured SP is getting all serious business and somehow, I found myself in the MP section of the forum.

It was scary. I was a n00b, couldn't held myself in bronze and these people were playing gold and above. Somehow, I managed to stay, even if my instinct was to run as far away as possible. Slowly but surely, I learned the mechanics, by reading, observing, trying and dying all over again. And one day I figured out... hey, I'm actually getting decent at this. I'm enjoying it. And despite all the grief the game has given me(and continues to give me), there is a charm to it. Something that can't be planned, something that can only develop on it's own, through trial and error. It's not perfect, but then again, nothing good ever is. You gotta take the good with the bad and endure through tough times. And even though it breaks your heart sometimes, you know you wouldn't have it any other way.

Multiplayer allowed me to try characters other than Shepard. It allowed me to see the war through the eyes of the little man, the one who bleeds and cries and, despite all the hardship, all the looses, all the pain... just keeps on going. Because there's nothing else a soldier can do. Shepard may have been the tip of the spear, but a tip is useless without a well balanced shaft. We were that shaft. We held back the Reapers, fighting, loving, dying...

We held the line.

And I'm told Corey was the one that enabled that.

Some men leave their mark on the world through the suffering they cause, others through making our lives just a little bit better. Corey was in the latter camp. How many times have a came home after a hard working weekend to cheer myself on the battlefields on the Milky Way. It's a gift that keeps on giving, without expecting much in return.

Didn't play Havoc for far too long. Dusted the old boy today and recolored him to green/black combo, to pay tribute properly. Luck would have I ran into lovely DragonRacer and our two Havocs wrought much havoc on Cerberus in their facility on Noveria, during the blizard. Smooth game and missiles went flying before extraction, with many heavy melee exchanged between waves. Wanted to play more, but servers decided not to cooperate.

Perhaps it's better that way. Wouldn't want to overdo it.

Corey, thanks for your work and for all the fun you have given us.
