MEA combat looks like a massive improvement over ME3.

I'll be honest. I didn't really care for the multiplayer in ME3. I found it largely repetitive and boring. There were only so many times I wanted to play the same maps and kill the same waves of enemies only to get a chance at RNG loot. It certainly didn't help that, for many races on harder difficulties, you were forced to stay in cover unless you wanted to be killed instantly.

Thankfully, MEA seems to be changing the dynamics of combat quite a bit in ME3. BioWare has stated Destiny was one of the major inspirations for the change in gameplay, and it's incredibly apparent. It seems cover will no longer be mandatory and having verticality via the jump jet will bring all sorts of new opportunities and ways to traverse maps. My only concern is that hopefully maps are actually large enough to take advantage of this new, more dynamic and action-oriented gameplay.

I still think I'll just buy the digital deluxe, instead of the super digital deluxe. However, if I get into the MEA MP Beta then maybe that will convince me otherwise. I'll be in MEA on March 16 either way. Whether I spend my 10 hours on the single player campaign or multiplayer will be up to BioWare.
