Here's my thoughts I thought I posted this in it's own thread but it has disapeared a minute ago:
Aside from constant crashing , weapon and power balance issues the multiplayer is great, but going back and playing ME3 you really see a lot of things missing. The starting cast of MP characters are largely generic aside from a few. If you look at ME3 you have a large cast of exciting and interesting characters with abilities completely unique to that character and MP. Where is that here? I understand many of those were DLC characters, but I was expecting that to be built upon and was hoping for a stronger cast at release as that is it's predecessor.
I have every character unlocked and once I hit 20 on all of them there is not much progression to go from there. There is no reason whatsoever that I can see to relevel a character other than the very minuscule APEX rating gain - which you can get by playing just a few games anyway. You still gain bonus stat for playing a level 20 as far as I can see as well. I will say this though, yeah bonus stat is nice, but to be completely honest you don't even need it. The game is very easy as long as you are playing with a halfway decent squad, even in gold. I held off on playing on gold for awhile, but when I jumped in it was extremely disappointing at how simple it was. As far as I can tell ME3 was harder, but then again, movement is much worse. Challenges were much more in depth, more rewarding, and there were a lot more of them too. I want more progression.
Enemies should be tweaked as well, in my opinion. Such as Nullifier which is worth 330 points, if i remember correctly, which fires extremely slow, with a VERY slow set up, and on top of that does not even fire all the time. I'd like to see more enemy types and or new move sets. Weapons need to be tweaked heavily. The vast majority of weapons are completely obsolete compared to the select few that are actually the only ones that are pretty much viable. I can't even think of a single assault rifle that is viable, except for the grenade launcher and that can hardly even be called one!

Yeah nullifiers are some other boss-ish enemies are pretty easy. But some others are b.s. Your basic standard enemies have a bit too much health, like raiders and adhi and such. The bosses actually seem pretty well balanced, maybe like 5 percent less health would be good, just to keep the pace up.
