First look at the MEA multiplayer (CSI:BSN over to you...)

Got requests to ask you some ?s, I'll start with this one. Can you select the color of your Tech Armor?

SomebodyOfNobody ‏@of_somebody
To cparify is there a "energy color" slot that allows you to change colors of you abilities? Imagine green flanethrower!

SomebodyOfNobody ‏@of_somebody
*clarify *flamethrower

Fernando Melo ‏DiscoBabaloo
no, the vfx/colors for abilities are set, you don't customize those

Josh Brummett ‏@respawned_Ghost
@tibermoon in MP,can you reach max level and then start again from level 1?

Ian S. Frazier ‏@tibermoon
@respawned_Ghost If you want, sure!

@tibermoon @respawned_Ghost But will this promotion give u any benefits (like ME3MP N7 rating or DAIMP stats; maybe achievements) ?

Ian S. Frazier ‏@tibermoon
Darks1te @respawned_Ghost No, we'd call this "resetting." We don't do promotions, but we have another mechanic that serves that role.

They are talked about this earlier. Basically u will get some passive bonuses through your progression of whole class (2 type of experience), like extra hp etc. This bonuses will be not really huge (like they was in DAIMP). I think the main reason to keep this "resetting" is to give players opportunity to re-spec your kit if u want to play him differently (though in ME3MP we have special re-spec card).

Will I be able to solo Smeckie's mom?  Or is it still easier in a group.

thank you!

that is great news! yay!  

Yea I saw the gameplay vid. They called it Annihilation shield in the narration. It's unfortunate they didn't keep the same amazing visual animations. Just looks like a ring now that lights up on the ground or whatever solid object (or at least this is what was showing up when they mentioned Annihilation)


Plenty of other power though. The fact they did amazing upgrades to some powers like giving biotic pull the ability to hold 2 enemies and launch them at people will definitely make up for it though. 

If LB+RB combined to activate a power then they've probably split A does everything into A and Y do everything.

But I don't know how much I like having to time combined button presses. I've had that in other games and it ranges from workable to "god fucking dammit i hit both what the fuck", so I have a real concern about the window. It would likely need some kind of minor delay, and I don't like when inputs are delayed in something that can require rapid action and reaction.

I'm sure I'll adjust to the new health bar but I never had an issue with the old one. Was kinda nice not having to squint to know what an enemies situation was far away.

Is the big ugly missile launcher back? :/

This might be a personal gripe, but I hope every mission or the entire game isn't so "clean" looking.

There is no button for taking cover.  You automatically go into it like in ME1

Yeah I sure hoped they improved it. As much as I didn't like Gears of War style A does everything, I still like the command to do it.

Really curious to see how "sticky" cover is and if its actually an improvement or not.

As long as we didn't trade Banshee magnet hands for magnet cover I'm fine.

If I'm trying to use soft cover or run past and get vacuumed in I might actually long for the days of omni-button

YESSSS!!!

I get to feel important again!

You guys seen Ian Frazier's post on combat from a couple days ago? Just noticed when he linked it in a tweet.

Tyler Norstrom‏@tyler_norstrom
@tibermoon does enemy behavior change with the difficulty level? If so, can you give us an example?

Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon
@tyler_norstrom Yeah, they become more aggressive in various ways. See some examples here --> bsn.boards.net/post/305838
