The MEA MP Resource Library (updated April 1)

Are we counting individual games, or just the series?

Because Gears of War has allowed you to do this in 4 games now, maybe 5 (unsure about Judgement)

Why not?  Because you don't put points into a Rank 6 stat?

That's literally the only difference.

No one is arguing co-op isn't a good thing, and I much prefer having the option for multiplayer. Gears just isn't an RPG.

I'm still holding out hope that there will be a giga-vorcha in mp.

"Played on controller.
Rt fire, Lt aim down sights, lb power one, rb+lb = power 2, rb is power 3. Y is melee/interact, B is dodge/mantle, a is jetpack, x is reload or hold to switch weapons. Dpad handles items."

2 minutes of xbox mp gameplay, shit quality.
Looks like upload objective has 3 locations instead of 1, krogan berserkers are new dragoons, counted 8 enemy marks on radar, new mp narrator is that turian Lt. Kandros, Bioware doesn't allow folks to record footage probably because of that upcoming "IGN first" mp stream (Dark Gods preserve us )

the killfeed is a little distracting

From that footage now I'm sold!


Seriously though I've seen scramble porn that looked better than this.

When I first saw the challenge progress in the picture I was confused. I hope they aren't purposely making players go through the tutorial more than once just for the sake of it. If they want you to complete it by doing certain things that require different characters and weapons than that would make sense; if they want you to use all weapon types and ability types then you would have to go through it at least twice since the human sentinel has one of every ability type and anyone can hold two different weapons. The advance(silver) pack is probably the new veteran pack and you get a bronze(new recruit pack I guess) for beating the tutorial, so at best you have a chance to get an uncommon and a rare weapon or character; at worst you'll get an uncommon I imagine.

Anyone have any guesses how these will play out in pug matches?

Oh, yes, indeed. Was literally my first thought when encountered: "This will not go well with PUGs in the wild."
