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

I remember BroJo saying something to this effect when it was first announced that the forums would be closing. About how it wasn't a unanimous decision but there wasn't really anything that people opposed to the idea could do.

They said that tech amour was only availalbe if you choose a tech class, it is not one of the reg abilities but a bonus if i am not mistaken.

Looks like singularity is getting an anti shield evolution - I wonder if all/most biotic abilities are going to go this route of a skill evolution to deal with defences?

Regardless, that new video looks even better than the last.

Cryo beam into lance was nice. Backlash is super sexy - definitely going to be one of the first things I level up.

I noticed the "biotic blink" on the explorer profile - so does that mean it's the only profile with a dodge modification, or are there other ways to access different dodges? But I suppose this is SP only anyway where MP characters will have different dodges as it is.

Oh and adept profile has unique dodges and jump animations instead of the jetpack? Sounds awesome. Also the additional biotic explosion thing sounds a bit crazy - looks like setting one off in a group could result in some chain reaction!

Well the adept's dodge/jump might look cooler than the blink and may have other benefits - who knows.

I imagine the biotic blink for explorer is intended for mobility - so to traverse terrain more easily, which kind of makes sense. As it is a general profile it kind of makes sense for it to also use biotics for the sake of movement.

But it sounds most like the Cabal's dodge - ie asari glide mixed with fury teleport.

Hmm, I know the weapons may have changed somewhat between games, but I really feel like a Black Widow / Crusader combo is an odd choice, especially for someone who seemed to be fond of power-heavy builds.

I'm definitely glad that the biotic version of a jetpack exists - hopefully plenty of MP biotics use it! The passive Tech Armor is cool too. I remember seeing the previous video's power screens and thinking that explosions would be less common in this game since it looked like a lot of powers only primed/detonated specific explosions, but it looks like cryo at least is easy to detonate.

Not a MP thing, but I'm not so sure about the profile thing. Potentially having 9 powers available at once seems a bit unnecessary, and if the profile passives aren't big enough, the lack of classes means it would be way too easy to just pick all the best powers and ruin replayability as far as combat goes. I'll probably still just pick a "class" and stick with that for each playthrough.

Thanks. Just have to wait it out then.

Q. With all the good single player questions going around...I must ask then, did you get your hands on the multiplayer part of the game? First impressions? and does it actually enhance the single player aspect in any way?

No, I did not play multiplayer. I did interview the game's producer and really pressed him on this point- he made it VERY CLEAR that the multiplayer is largely the same as ME3. I asked him for specific examples of how it's different, and he indicated that it was more about the inclusion of new weapons/skills/classes etc rather than new mechanics. So expect something VERY similar to what we've played, but obviously just more content to fit the ME:A setting.

Weapons transfer directly over in ME3MP?

I like when devs say such nebulous things.🤒

And the shotgun LASER? Bring it!
