    Del the multiplayer is a lot of fun. I was going to avoid it as I thought I'd be terrible at it, and I was at first xD I was hugely taken back by just how fun the multiplayer is. If you've done any of the N7 missions those are the standard multiplayer maps and on Bronze difficulty you won't have too much of an issue even if you're absolutely terrible. If you've got Voice Comms turned off multiplayer is just essentially single player anyway except the other 3 characters are being controlled by people and you have no idea if they're yelling "you suck" or not - though in all honestly I hardly ever hear people say anything let alone actually insult anyone. Give it a shot, you might be as surprised as I was.

    Ok I'll try it. Definitiely with voice turned off since I don't need some kid in a basement yelling at me after a long day.

    It's great to play with people you know so you can actually yell at them and it not be weird. Like while yelling at steve is much like yelling at a 13 yr old from a basement who is screaming profanities, it's just a bit more satisfying to do so when it's him.

    I really enjoyed exploring planets in the Mako, and customising weapons and armour. Great fun, and greatly mourned in the other games. I found ME3 really boring and poorly made, and I actually struggled to get through it. Damn shame, that game.

    First time I played the first one, I went with the Commando. I didn't enjoy it, so got rid of the game pretty quickly. Months and months later, I bought it again after forgetting about my first time round, instead opting for an Adept. Low and behold, I was able to use assault rifles with him! Best. Thing. Ever. I went for a Barrier specialisation, which was so much fun. Infinite Barrier, plus being able to attack things in Statis = awesome, especially when combined with an infinite range, permanently cool assault rifle.

    My Shep was the standard male one, because the customisation options made you look bloody awful! As for my team, I went with Bruce Campbell and Garrus in the first game, with Garrus and Miranda in the second. Essentially, one Tank, plus Garrus. There must always be space for Garrus. Always.

    Me: Male/Soldier/Paragon
    ME: Ashley & Wrex (and sometimes Garrus)
    ME2: Grunt & Miranda (and sometimes Garrus/Jacob)
    ME3: Ashley & EDI/Vega depending on who I'm fighting (and sometimes Garrus/Jack/my tears over the lack of a Krogan squad member)

    Basically I'm all about the soldiers for the most part.

    "Sometimes Garrus"? Somtimes Garrus?!

    You disappoint me.

    I prefer frontliners that can take a lot of hits. When I used Garrus I would get tired of him getting himself killed. I'm rather aggressive in most of my FPS games, and I like my team to act similarly. I also like having the love interest in my main party, so Miranda/Ashley got those roles.

    If Garrus was a Soldier class, I'd probably have used him more often.

    The multiplayer was one of the most fun multiplayer experiences I've ever had. It's really well done and addictive.

    As others have said, it is best with friends. There are plenty of EoFFers who can attest to this having experienced the majesty of my Krogan decked out in bright pink armour teleporting in and headbutting everything from Cerberus Troopers to Banshees to death, all while alternating between roaring and laughing like a madman.

    Ok, who wants to play with me? I'm on PS3 if that matters.

    Credit to ME3: the multiplayer was really well done. I only played the demo, and even with those limitations it was excellent,

    That the ME3 multiplayer was so good is the only reason I didn't ragequit on DA3 in advance when they announced it was getting multiplayer.
