ME3MP Favorites - In Memory of Corey Gaspur

I'm so sorry to hear this news. I still love ME3MP after 3000+ hours and 10,000+ matches. It taught me that playing online with strangers could be really fun and that it's great to make new gaming buddies from all over the world. I can now scream for help in broken Russian and thank people for picking me up in multiple languages.

One of my favorite memories was entering a silver match with a level one character. The others in the lobby didn't ready up immediately, and I thought "oh, they must be debating whether to kick me." To my surprise and delight they all silently switched to level one characters and we had a great time pew-pew-ing with our baby powers on Reactor.

This game has given me many warm and fuzzy moments and introduced me to a great gaming community. You guys have always been there to help me, whether it was dragging me to Silver dificulty, helping me finish platinum map mastery or coaching me through my one and only platinum solo. I'm grateful for that.

Thank you, Corey Gaspur! Your game has made a difference in many peoples' lives, including mine.

Rest easy Corey Gasper...

Aside from the birth of my children, there is little that has excited me in life as much as coming home on Friday to a new weekend challenge. Back in me3 heyday they were all the rave and this game has allowed me to meet and make tons of friends I otherwise would've never met. Thanks Corey

Yeah... death sucks... and I learned that the hard way. I hope that Corey is at peace now.

Despite that I was very disappointed with singleplayer campaign, I managed to accept it despite its flaws. I started my multiplayer career only a year ago and I fell in love with it immediately. It's the very first mp mode I've tried and I wish I had been more open minded back in 2012. I met a lot of incredible people, had tons of fun playing with them and I wouldn't change a thing. I will always have beautiful memories, even after another 20 years, when mp is long gone.

Thank you Corey and I hope you can see how your "baby" still gives a lot of joy for many people.

I just don't know what to say.He was so young.He had a big role in my all time favorite game Mass Effect 2 (in my opinion the best ME world,despite the great atmosphere in ME1) and he brought me online.No,ME 3 is not my first multi game,but no doubts here,it is my favorite.Before ME3 i was a SP boy and i had around 1000 hours in multiplayer(i mean all games i've ever played and they are like milion,because i have 25 yers of experience) and in ME3 i have over 4600 hours.That says it all.He also had role in one of the best RPGs-DAO.His work was amazzing.As for my favorite moment,i can't choose only one.There were many great memories.There is something very special about ME3 multi.Through ME3 i found many friends,all cool guys and gals on my FR and on BSN.Rest in Peace Corey,your games make the people happier.

Far too late in the day now, but a weekend challenge, as they did for Robin Sachs, would be nice.

That sucks and my condolences go out to his friends and family.

Hats off to my second favorite MP ever (my 1B to Halo 2's 1A). I've put in over 1000 hours and I'm still not tired of the game at all and don't see that changing any time soon. I was hooked from my first attempts as a solo player before finally jumping into a Bronze public match where the game just got better. Even though there are still some bugs and some broken powers/guns, they nailed this MP. I started long after the final balance changes and didn't get a chance to do the weekend challenges, but this game is still awesome and I appreciate the work he put in to make this awesome game. The fact that there's new players and old vets still playing is great and shows how well they did.


My favorite part is still headshotting things with the Claymore. That BOOM followed by the nice cracking sound and body going limp is just too sweet. 

I'm hearing he had a lot of things to do with the Turian Havoc in particular (more, I know, but the Havoc has been brought up by a few devs in relation to Corey), so maybe we run some Havoc-only parties as a kind of weekend tribute?

Havoc only run, on any difficulty you're comfortable with, and during the extracion I would suggest that everyone would fire all their missiles into the sky. To honor his memory and it would be a final goodbye

I'm in.

Melee/Havoc double hit, 'cause with ME3MP Corey hit with 2x his weight.

Now cracks a noble heart - Goodnight Corey Gaspur. And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!


I started mp once I realized that I was playing the SP purely for the fights, finding that the narrative was getting in the way of my enjoyment of the game; I also wanted to try all the sweet-looking dlc guns (that I was not going to pay for), and especially all the cool-looking characters. I waited too long to enjoy the weekend challenges (not to mention the buff/nerf wars), and I bitterly regret it now.

What hooked me, and still keeps me playing, is how everything has its own place in the game, how all this variation is more or less balanced (you can laugh here if you want, I will understand), so that there are countless ways to go through a game. Most kits and most weapons have a unique feeling, from their effectiveness, to their look and sound, to how they handle. Most of the difficulty comes not from bullet sponge enemies, but from wave compositions that actually attempt to pose strategic problems - the fact that the AI will always attempt to send some units to flank you is such a simple, yet elegant solution to keep you on your toes; the combined arms approach of different units either pounding you into cover or coming over to dislodge you adds another layer of decisions that need to made; the fact that by now most of us know how to navigate the map to defuse most of the challenges posed by the game does not detract from its design in my opinion. Rather, the fact we are still here playing this game shows just how engaging it is!

I can say I have never enjoyed a game as much as this one! I want to believe the recipe that was created here will help shape future games for the best, and that Corey Gaspur will be remembered as a trail-blazer, whose influence will be felt for a long time in the future of this industry - a thought Bioware seemed to share, given his prominent position in the development of their latest game!

In the end, I want to drop two gems here: in these very early videos, you can hear Corey Gaspur's (and Eric Fagnan's) take on the enemy factions and players' classes. Some of it is cutely outdated (Cerberus does not push you - the good old pre-dragoon days), and in some cases the meta-strategy has evolved to contradict their expectations, but the videos offer interesting insights in the goals behind how the multiplayer was designed.

thx for the best mp experience ever Corey Gaspur.
I think we can safely say ME3 MP made and makes gaming history.

What s huge for me is i can still try new things 5 years later ! And i think the new thing i ll try next is Havoc/melee doiuble strike, pretty sure i never tried that once i settled for claymore

I have been told that Corey wore a lot of black (and dark green) in the studio.

If anyone feels like coloring their Havocs up for the event.
