MP Impressions

I will play the FHS now because of this.

Hack Objectives spawn 3 locations, these can be completed in any order by any number of players in any given one, even simultaneously, but all 3 must be completed for the mission to succeed.

Right now Origin says that I have played 3 hours and less than 5 hours left. How about an actual timer counting down?
Anyways: I'll play the rest of my trial period and then I'll write down my impressions. Right now they are unfortunately mostly negative actually and I agree with most of the things MGamerz wrote on the previous page.

Were you playing against the Remnants? Assuming so because that sounds like the Ascendant (I think was the name?). If nothing has changed since I played against that faction, there should be a little orb circling around the dude... a bit like Geth Prime's combat drone. You have to destroy that orb to drop his golden bubble, then you can damage him for a brief time before he puts the bubble and a new orb back up. Rinse and repeat.

Unless you encountered a bug where the orb is destroyed but the bubble doesn't drop and then you're stuck with no way to kill him.

I played 3 games last night. All of bronze. Finished each game, but died right at extraction on the first one. I unlocked the turian soldier, so that was a plus.

- starting weapons with level 1 characters is pretty awful as expected.
- the pace of the games feel really nice. Moving around the map and the constant onslaught of enemies keeps the combat flowing throughout the match.
- grenades feel a bit wonky in their throwing arc, but I'm sure we'll get used to that pretty quick. The fact that your own frag grenade will stun you is pretty hilarious.
- I'm excited about getting deeper into the game.
- menu navigation will take some time to get used to

After playing for few hours here is what i think.

First of all i run into a rather nasty problem. Four out of five games will run smoothly and whit no hitch in sight. But the fifth would be like in slow motion.... I dont quite get why this is happening and i dont undurstand if the problem is in me or the host in the particular game. If i leave said lobby - normaly my next one is fine again. Is that happening to everyone else or should i look at my own machine for the problem ?

Outside of that - i too feel like the cammera is a bit too close to the character and that limits the field of vision and makes it easier for enemy mooks to blindside you. And when the big guys drop in - thats rather nasty. Looks like sorta easy thing to fix.

The combat however is smooth and makes it plesant to play. The jetpack is real joy and makes movment fun and opens up some really interesting tactics. Like jetpacking and aiming to stay in-flight outside the reach of mele enemy's.

Also the classes are interesting and varied even tho most of the skills we already know perfectly from Mass Effect 3.

Maps are also quite good .... but whit the introduction of the jetpack they feel a bit on the smaller side.


All in all good impressions as of right now - tho im quite worried whit the "slow motion" games that i had. Hope its not just me and its easy to fix.

I remember them saying that there's no FOV slider on console.

you can, you click the left joystick on console

You still get skill points through leveling. 

So you can still level up a character normally? 

Say if I finally unlocked that Ultra-Rare Salarian Operator, I can still level him up to 20 and spec into powers (like classic MEMP) even if I only have a single card to this kit? 

What's all this talk about getting skill points for unlocking additional cards of the same kit then?

So those extra points are a bonus on top of the regularly earned ones?


Phew. For a second I thought that you had to max out a kit's customization options in order to get any skill points.

Additional points? Like we get 60 points for leveling and then rest by cards to make all 6es build?
