It looks way too colorful for my liking. And like plastic. At least the horrible FOV and 16:9 format can be changed on the PC. Unlike with the previous games, the excitement for this installment gets less and less with every new trailer.
I was called Ryder before it was cool... ...I'd love to, you know, be social and things.

Well I'm certainly liking this armour/colours/hair! Wow! At least from the back. Purple! And she has a strange-looking and small gun on her right shoulder. Kett weapon?
And the fact that this implies customization of the face in MP, or at least preset character appearances without helmets, is pretty awesome news to me. Also, I hope/expect that we can use this hair in singleplayer, which I'll probably end up doing, since my characters usually have something similar. Nice to know there will be at least 2 hairs I like this time, ha
Feel my powa!
Lift/pull looks good. If I remember correctly, some (all?) powers have an alternate effect if the button if held rather than tapped (overload only chains if you charge it by holding), which is a very good thing in SP considering the 3-power limit, and is a straight upgrade in MP since we always had a 3-power limit. I don't know why, but I seem to remember Pull, well, pulling targets to you if you hold it, rather than just leaving them hovering, which is awesome.
Is this a power, or is she caught in an enemy one? Her graceful-yet-powerful stance does look like the asari/Fury heavy melees, like she's charging to let out a biotic blast. It's hard to tell what's going on since the HUD is disabled here.
And this krogan seems to melee immediately after using Biotic Charge. Is this what happens when the button is held, is it automatic, or is the player simply doing it quickly (in ME3, you could hold heavy melee while charging to instantly melee after a Charge)?
Not a huge fan of the overly-curved health/shields/barriers bar, but at least it doesn't deplete from both ends. Hate that. Glad to see the Venom is back! Hopefully we see a couple of salarians with them in SP. I'm also glad it looks similar to ME3MP, because my main fear for MEAMP was that they'd try to reinvent the (very good) wheel. Same buttons for consumables, waves, etc. Also looking forward to actual verticality, shown off here, thanks to the jump-pack!
And helmetless heroes with non-horrible hair, hooray!

And Suvi, the threads you followed led you here to me. How could that have been a mistake? Of everything I've encountered in Heleus, you, are by far, my favourite.

I'm happy to finally get a glimpse at the multiplayer, even if it is just a few seconds. From what we've now seen, we can assume that the wave based system from ME3 with objectives on specific rounds will be returning almost the same as it was. I for one am ecstatic because that was exactly what i've been hoping for. The cooldown being to the far right isn't something i'm particularly a huge fan of but, it is what it is. I find it pretty funny that this is the first time we've seen the MP and it's a 3-4 second clip in a trailer for preorder bonuses. Maybe it's a sign that we've got more coming soon? Especially since we didn't end up hearing more about the MP beta in January like we were told was likely. Either way, i'd have prefered a proper reveal but i'm anticipating what's on the horizon.
Is the girl in purple confirmed to be a romance option?
jk
I am looking forward to this MP though.
I have my chat up line ready...

I'm pretty sure they aren't going to announce this at all even if it is in the game. Probably will have more information once they release the demo. The only EA game I can think of that was region locked in multiplayer in recent years was DAMP, but that was such a buggy mess it couldn't help but throw up on itself constantly.

That's Nova. If you look closely in the bottom right, you can see one of the power icons flash and then start recharging.
edit: So it looks like this particular Kroguard has Charge + Nova + Barrier (or some equivalent power), going off the icons.

interestingly Kroguard's got shields not barrier and Nova doesn't seem to drain them either
That one little beautiful word has just quadrupled my interest in MEAMP.
THE VENOM IS BACK BITCHES!!!!!!!
They showed a lot of ME3 weapons. Including the Falcon. I have the impression that they may port every single one of the ME3 weapons into this game. A bit worrisome since I wanted more new weapons, but who knows maybe there's heaps of new weapons too.
I'm also glad for the Venom, is a weapon you don't often see people using in MP which immediately makes me want to use it and I always loved it. If I could ask for two more things: CSR and the Kishock, pretty please.
RIP old BioWare - 1995-2016. I used to be a fan, now I'm just toxic.

That pic, do we have four powers? The middle of the screen you can see a barely visible triangle button. The other powers are on the LB and RB and LB+RB. Why wouldnt the third power be triangle if it wasnt already being used for something else?

Well if the powers dont share a cooldown anymore and are on a separate one then not draining them makes sense.
indeed, curious what they they will balance it out with... in that singleplayer gameplay trailer bc does recharge barriers so that hasn't changed so what's tradeoff gonna be. the clip cuts just as the cooldown starts can't see the rate really, wonder if they gonna turn Nova into Falre-type thing. or cull its damage. hmmm...
BW WE NEED MOARR!!!!
and with bitoic boom-booms this time pretty please
Half my friends list just had an orgasm re the Venom being in MEA
That Kroguard looks awesome, plus the chick in purple has multiple biotic powers. Great to know they are going to keep biotic explosions in the game, that was one of my favorite parts, next to GI
I also like the fact it looks virtually identical in gameplay to ME3MP, if it ain't broke ..

Judging by this booty, we don't have to worry about people not making "can I romance my MP character" threads.

The red health bar is thicker in the middle, and on both edges. I wonder if that is purely aesthetic, or if it denotes 3 separate pips of health. Considering there are no breaks in the bar I'm assuming we'll be able to regen our health completely. That would certainly make health a bit more useful of a stat than it was in ME3.
mashing "generate similar face" in dark souls had some good results too
