I can definitely see why a lot of people love the multiplayer in Mass Effect 3! Sure, the actual game is fun and intense, but the ability to play any class with any kind of alien gives you the ability to play totally different games that are unpredictably enjoyable every time. These are some real noticeable experiences from my playthroughs.
- I once played a game as a Krogan soldier. Normally, I don't like the idea of rushing into danger head on, but with the krogan, not only did I find myself using the shotgun more often, I was charging right at enemies and annihilating them with heavy melee attacks. I was a walking juggernaut of destruction, and that feeling of activating blood rage was really satisfying!
- I'm not normally a sniper player, but when I selected a Quarian Infiltrator, I gave the sniper rifle a try. I ended up not rushing for the objectives and opted to camp at a high point to take out enemies approaching my partners. And surprisingly, it was a lot of fun! I felt I was actually helping my teammates, like a real team player. That doesn't mean I'll automatically switch to sniper rifles in single player, but I'll consider jumping into an MP game as a sniper in the future.
- As an engineer, my goal was again focused on support, albeit differently. I ended up in a map where I new two positions enemies swarm in from. I had to keep a distance, deploying combat drones and shooting from cover, while also using incinerate for armored enemies. The biggest problem though was this obnoxious cloud thing that followed me everywhere and took out my shields constantly. Plus, being corned by a banshee in a cramped location is not fun!
- As a vanguard, I can definitely see why it's fun to play. I ended up separating from my team because I was busy charging at Cerberus soldiers at a distance, then blasting away the ones left standing with a Nova. I still ended up assisting my squads with distant shockwaves as well as distracting enemy forces. Only disadvantage, using a Nova left me vulnerable and I nearly died a few times.
