Strike Team missions - Interview with Mike Gamble

And it was fixed afterwards because they realized (or people made them realize) it was a mistake. Why would they make the same error again?

I don't see how ego or trust is relevant on this issue. If they had ego on this topic they would never have fixed the EMS requirement to get the best Destroy ending. If they wanted to make MP that relevant, they'd have sticked with their original idea, as well as doing the same for DAI MP.
Considering the fixing and DAI MP, I don't see why they should go back to their original idea.

You know you want it! .....

Maybe when the game comes out I can start a thread for LFG terrible players. Then we can at least try it in a non-judgmental group. If it turns out to be bad, then at least we tried.

oh no! no more MP from main menu!? no
if strike team is limited to a few missions during single player campaign it will be hard to find players that are in the same mission or level

i want to play endless MP when i want to!
we need more info on this ASAP

because after the handling of ME3 and the YEARS of requests for ng+ in DA which were met with basically silence I am putting nothing past them

you obviously forget what happened when they tried to cancel ng+ in ME2...I could bring up many games also that had the core elitist fan base spit on the idea of ng+ that had the devs add it in and in turn made the game even better (Dishonored 1-2, deus ex MD and HR, TW3 and so on). Bioware at this point is not adding it just because of hubris and ego.

but that is not the feature we are discussing in MEA...its the MP integration

I just hope that these strike missions are not their idea of side missions/content to replace the fetch quest from DA:I. These should be an added bonus with no meaningful impact on the story and the ending of the game, ather than outpost liberations and other stuff wich can fit into the horde mode for some extra credits and xp.

A separate mp is a welcome, as I put a 500+ hours into ME3MP.

I would be shocked if it were something that dramatic. 

Sounds fucking awesome if you ask me.

If I'm feeling social and up for a challenge, I'll sort a MP squad...If I'm feeling lone wolf then I'll hit it up by myself: reeks of fantastic.

Cool addition to the game, obviously this will be extra to the ongoing MP option: since a lot of people will want MP only sessions from the title screen etc.

No need to worry, the MP will still be accessible from the title menu: this is basically integrating the MP meta game into the SP storyline, giving it context in an ongoing fashion. It's pretty cool that they're putting the effort into making horde mode feel like it's part of the same storyline as SP, love the sound of this
