‘Mass Effect 3’ Has 4 Player Co-Op Missions. What Say You?!

Mass Effect 3, which is scientifically proven to be my favorite game ever upon arrival (until either BioShock Infinite or further down the road Fallout 4 is released) is going to offer multiplayer awesomeness for friends to save the galaxy. Together.

Joystiq:

BioWare has simultaneously put the speculation about  Mass Effect 3’s  multiplayer to  rest  … and given us another aspect to speculate about. The developer officially announced co-op on its  forums, and posted a FAQ featuring all the Q’s it was ready to A.

The new 4-player co-op missions take place outside of the single-player game, and aren’t affected by your  Mass Effect 1  or  2  saves. “Players can choose from a variety of classes and races, form an elite Special Forces squad, and combine their weapons, powers and abilities to devastating effect as they fight together to liberate key territories from enemy control.” The multiplayer does tie into your single-player game in unspecified ways, offering “an alternative method” of achieving success in the main storyline.

The co-op is one aspect of something called “Galaxy at War,” a rather mysterious, and optional, system that uses multiple factors (including multiplayer) to augment Shepard’s “Galactic Readiness” level. “Other platforms and interfaces will be announced in the coming months,” BioWare said, also noting that it will be possible to obtain the “optimal” ending without doing anything in the Galaxy at War mode.

Who the fuck is with me?! I’m looking at you, Dude and Johnny Hall.
