This Multiplayer is a Step Down from ME3MP?

I remember the AN94 back in BF3 days and it having a hypothetical 1200 RPM on burst...Accept it never did lol. You'd always get outplayed by a AEK or M16 in CQC.

So...Burst fire weapons and their RPM are...Kinda trash. Unless you have micros. Then....Maybe. But Christ who wants to just cheat all the time. Kinda boring.

Yep, I have. And its the high RoF sniper rifles in particular that are in desperate need of rebalancing. As for posting stupid stuff, what's that saying about people in glass houses again?

^ Lol, oh dear.

He is already on ignore.

Uff, too much to quote


powers: They are indeed a little weak, but it seems like andromeda has a different "armor system". biotic damage does almost nothing to armored enemies, but this is where tech powers shine (+ combos ofcourse).

if i had the time right now (gotta go to work soon) id try to find an early gold video from mass effect 3, where 3 asaris adepts + 1 salarian with decoy hide behind a table and combo the crap out of armored enemies (on gold, it took about 10-15 combos to take down a mech. granted they had lower cooldowns, so thats why you probably think they were more powerful - because you could use them more often and even not use weapons for a whole match.
Hydras go down faster when focused with powers on gold. (yes im talking about teamcombos, not solo combos)


Characters: ME3MP basic without DLCs had crap characters that even "struggle" today on gold, the "overpowererd" stuff came with the DLCS. gold became the new silver after 2 DLCs because the characters simply had overpowered skills. im talking about stuff like the trip mine that was as powerful as the rocket launcher if you skilled them right and placed 3 in a spawn area (and yes, that was my favorite character, so i know this for a fact )


balance/weapons: they did have to balance the game somewhere. gold is too easy as it is, especially if not playing against khett. now imagine if guns would do real damage. we would need a 4th difficulty and then for people who like challanges a 5th.
developer-wise this is crap. they would rather put more work into balance than into "new content" because its less time consuming. this is my prediction: they will balance the first 3 difficulties, they will adjust weapons and powers and THEN probably with an upcoming dlc we will see a new difficulty.


im not defending the game in its current state, but after reading some posts, people either didnt play ME3MP at launch (no DLCs) or they simply forgot after many hours of playing that it had exactly the same problems.
you had to grind for your gear as well and even though grinding in andromeda feels like "a little more grinding necessary", i guarantee you will grind less. just take a look at the store system and how items drop, then think back or find a video about the store system in ME3 without dlcs (im talking about "pack" slots that gave you stuff you already maxed out - yes this WAS a thing and fixed later to some degree)

SKimmed through 2 pages of this stuff. I onyl have two complaints:

1.)Asari are very squishy, My huntress gets killed by almost everything in one hit.

2.) No over-cover grabs

On a high note, the Krogan headbutt is more accurate.

Now that Warp is no longer in play Armored units do become more formidable. Problem is tech combos require a fairly strict sequence to set up at the moment. One guy fires the wrong power early and no boom for the next good 10 seconds. Next thing you know is your position gets stomped all over by the enemies. Particularly annoying for the 3-point hacking missions.

What I liked
+ The freedom of movement.
+ Verticality of the levels.
+ Host migration is more fluid
+ Ability to mute players

What I don't like

- Off-host sniping is extremely un-reliable.
- Power cooldowns are way too long to be of any use.
- Weapons in general are very very weak.
- In ME3MP Playing an adept or vanguard meant relying more on powers and combos. This just isn't possible anymore due to cooldowns. I seldom see players using their powers.
- Lag is another issue. I know ME3 MP had its lag issues, but I was somehow able to compensate for it. But in MEA MP that just isn't possible.
When the lag hits, I see dead enemies walking around the map and doing their 'death animation' only after a few seconds after their death.
- Powers do not have enough visual and aduidtory 'punch'. I mean earlier I could feel the impact of a power from its sound and particle effects. But now they feel weak
- To revive someone or perform an action you have to directly face the action icon. Being in its proximity should have been enough.
- Unable to run with cobra is bad
- Ammunition icons are not very visible. In some levels its i okey. But in another levels they are hard to notice. But I guess we will get their locations memorised with time.
- Is it just me or does this game lack audio for some action? I mean there is no sound when doing the hack. Sometimes I am not sure if the hack is working or if I am actually reviving a team mate unless I look. In ME3 there used to be audible indicators to this - like the guy telling me to get back in the circle when I wander off, or the sound when you revive your team mate. I miss those.

I get the comparison the ME3 launch, but this is 2017, 5 years later. Should we not be starting at the point we left off?

I guess I'll keep complaining about the horrible client experience, the lack of combos scaling with skill ranks, and the absurd recoil and bullet spread on most guns.

You nailed it m8

Were not living in 2012. There is no excuse for this. It's clear that they didn't care. 

The day(May 29th, 2012) when the Rebellion MP DLC came out, adding quarians, vorcha, ex-cerberus and gear(notably the grenade pack), a twinkle shined in my drellguard's eyes. Those were the days...
