ME3MP and MEAMP: How do they compare?

Yeah, that's what I mean as well. I've never seen ME3MP trending toward any of that. The 2,300 hours I spent pugging ME3MP mostly were 'a bunch of Rambo's ignoring each other'...

1700 hours in ME3MP, stopped around 50 hours in MEA as I really wanted to like it, so I gave it a fair shake by my standards. No idea if it was updated as I stopped playing about 6 months ago, but the main reason I stopped playing it is because it never felt cooperative. Because of the freedom players have in moving around, I never had the feeling that teams were coordinated - more like everyone is jetting around by themselves. Some of the best parts for me in ME3 were the primer/detonator combos in a team. In MEA, I could barely tell if a target was primed, and the detonations were beyond lackluster, both in terms of sound/animation and effect. Much like the combat in MEASP, it's fundamentally solo player driven - very hectic and zero co-op. It was alright in SP, but for MP, I would have preferred tactical co-op as opposed to what we got.
That, and somehow MEAMP has none of the humor and light-heartedness ME3MP had, between the Krogan headbutts, the Volus roll, the Batarian punch, the Salarian squeaky voice and silly side hop. Sorry to say, but MEAMP just wasn't fun for me.
Finally, I don't mind grinding for a maxed manifest, but the concept behind the loot pool in MEA is so silly it's just plain discouraging.

It's kinda rare in pugs. And that is good, because that means it's playable without having to rely too much on them. While I think MEA is set up to encourage teamplay - coordinated playing is more satisfying in ME3MP because it's more "immediate". Botching up a prime-detonate rotation isn't really a thing when the CD isn't as long. In short: It delivers more bang for the buck. At closer distance, too.

There have been some great improvements for teamplay. But some bugs and mechanics counter that. Cryo ammo replacing debuff, combos ending debuffs, etc. Not all inherintly bad, but tougher to maximize team efficiency.

I'd take the + away from freedom of movement because really it's not more free in my opinion. I don't know why people like jetpacks. I think they're retarded. Just imagine a real conflict, now think of the guy who jumps out of cover and yells "Hey I'm right here!". Not real smart. And besides all that, jetpacks allowed the devs to build crappy maps with no flow. Combat rolls are far superior to jetpacks(and also were unique to species).

I'd also put a +/- on the cover system. It is better in some ways but hard cover in ME3 had advantages too and enemies in MEAMP can shoot you most of the time when you are in 'soft' cover even when you cannot target them. So the MEA cover systems' benefits are cancelled out and possibly pushed to a negative.
