This gameplay is uncut. Please ignore some part of it.

Bad News

FIXED Input
"Press Spacebar to continue."
Mouse Hover selection instead of click and select.

No Additional Host Info
Lobby doesn't have host's ping or WiFi like signal icon.

Loading Screen Issue
If your host has connection issue, you will see a "Searching for a new host" screen with no button.

Extra News

Lobby Music IMO: 7/10
Mixed calm and annoying stuff in one track.

User interface is a bit smaller compared to ME3MP
Bigger visual and smaller detail.

Friendly Reminder: Don't get overwhelm at all the details.
It's similar to ME3MP. Those controls are just in a different place.

Different setting as explorers
Apex team is more like civilians fighting enemies. On the other hand, N7 is military and serious.

Gun Feel
For Milky Way weapons, it won't feel like you are firing futuristic guns like in ME3.
You are literally shooting with AK47 or similar.

Good News

Amazing Lobby!
Joining a lobby is instant! Host can shift in a blink!
Gamer can join and leave instantly without ME3MP 10 seconds loading screen.

Huge Maps!
They are huge.
You can position at different places: multiple stories, roof, even out of the shooting area.

Mute Implementation!
You can mute other player' mic one by one.

New Cloak!
Super realistic cloak.

Fluid Game Play!
Jet-pack is my favorite! It is super smooth. :excited:

I just finished my 10 hours. Got it at midnight. I can say it's fun, but it's definitely a different game from ME3 MP. First few games on Bronze felt really hard, but by the 4th hour silver was easy to do and extract. The game is definitely harder than ME3 MP. Bronze on Andromeda felt like Silver+ on ME3. Silver felt like Gold on ME3. If you're able to solo Gold and Platinum on ME3 MP, you'll do well here. Most public games I played seemed to be filled with people who've played me3 before. There were a few games that had pugs camping out at the extraction area. I've had to solo a few waves, but I was lucky enough to get a Widow. There's no way to solo take down some of those bosses with an Avenger.

The exotic new weapons I got were the charger (meh), Sandstorm AR (sounded like a stronger and actual fun version of the Mattock), and
Thokin AR (meh). The predator pistol actually felt like a real gun in this game.

Overall, I had fun. I preordered the game, but this game is definitely not what we remembered. Two of my favorite guns are missing in the current list, the Typhoon and Acolyte (the universal gun), and I'm not sure how those two guns will do in this game. The game is faster pace and rely more on weapons and immediate powers. Also, the bosses are much, much harder to take down. On Silver, the remnant destroyer and the Kett's boss are harder to take down than Platinum bosses in ME3 mp... or maybe it seems that way with my weak weapons and low XP characters.

XP is much harder to get in this game. In MP3 mp, you can easily take a changer from rank 0 to rank 20 in 1.5 hours of gaming. It's a lot harder to get XP in Andromeda, and it feels like almost zero XP if you do not extract.

The maps are big, but there's so much clutter in the structures that it felt claustophobic at times. Bioware should make some cleaner maps.

Bugs, yes, they exist. Biggest bug is extreme rubber banding and lag. Worst than anything I've experienced with me3 mp. Second worst bug is the audio cutting out except for VOIP. This bug requires quitting the game and reloading. Same exact bug from me3 mp early days. Bioware could use better programmers if the ones they have can't learn lessons from the past.

A few more comments. I didn't get many good characters. I got my first Turian until the 8th hour and my first Krogan in my 9th hour. Most of my games were played with the common human characters. The concussive shot felt much improved.

Thank goodness the cobra is much harder to get now. Less to almost zero missile spamming by scrubs. Missiles seems weaker too. No longer felt like emergency instakill for scrubs. I'm not sure there is a limit to how many medigel and missiles you can take into a match. Use them wisely. The most medigel I ever had going into a game was TWO. They are much harder to get. Gone are the multi medigel packs. When you buy a pack, you might get 1 medigel pack. One. Buy many supply and basic packs!
