10 things Andromeda MP actually does better than ME3 MP

Matchmaking and queues are much improved. Unfortunately, they still remain troublesome if you don't have a full party. CTD and lag blow these benefits out of the water though.

cross detonating primers. more explosions are never a bad thing.

After dropping 4 games I played a ME3MP for the first time in 3 years.

I joined in Bronze as Turian Sentinel... there was a guy soloing with his Salarian engineer.
Nobody else joined the game.. so obviously it is pretty dead.

Anyway, I agree with all 10 things(..) you pointed out.

I am not sure if it makes things better, but it definitely makes MEAMP different from ME3MP.

ME3MP was a lot about situational awareness & using cover.
MEAMP is a lot more about reaction, aggressiveness and mobility.

I never criticized MEAMP so heavily... but I still am quite upset about how unstable the game runs.

n) Vanguards are not bugged off host
n+1) Shockwave 4b

I do like reducing wave count from 11 to 7, but that may be CTD trauma speaking. Shorter games means less exposure to losing all my creds and XP. It would be nice to have the option to play longer games with different modes though.

have a look at the timer.  Games aren't (much) shorter.    But what is for sure:  we are getting a lot less credits.
You still like that ?

It makes me miss the Geth and this gross harvester faction with the fly swarms and bloaty artillery bugs.

controls

fov

able to deterministically buy some stuff from the store, albeit in a limited manner (gear, supplies, respecs)

verticality -i'm a bit sore about this one, i think it's a good idea in principle but technically shitty in ME:A and very clunky to play compared to say CoD AW etc

uncapped frames

more than 8 enemies - again, good idea in principle but flawed implementation. ME3 was too low in terms of total enemy HP pool on the map vs team DPS output, while ME:A is too high

switch between left/right shoulder

No more spawn nuking grenade spamming. I'm not sad to see that go.

Oh yeah, just remembered I can now look around while running. LS to run over omni-A button is a nice change.

Movement controls are really good.
Powers being on separate CDs is interesting.

Generally core mechanics and balance are shit though.
1)Weapon balance is awful.
2)Powers are awful. CDs, damage, and combo damage are laughable at high levels.
3)Disconnects are too frequent and common.
4) Some passives and mods just do not work at all which is a little concerning considering that should've been caught in testing before release.
5) A little too much overlap for powers IMO. I wish there was more diverse power selection.

More I play this game... more I feel this.

I try to pick new class to play with... only end up realizing they are all very similar.
