No, just tack it on as is with controller support enabled for PC gamers.
Rumors and reports out of EA says they are backtracking on forcing multiplayer into every game, and going back to encouraging studios to make games that players want and that the studios want to make. I take this to mean, IF TRUE, that Bioware doesn't have to put MP into a game anymore, and can go back to making single player focused story strong RPG games.....if true.
So not including MP maybe as simple as they no longer have to do so because EA says so. They really don't enjoy making that type of game and want to expend their resources on the new Dragon Age, next Mass Effect and refining the stories in all future games. Yeah, they COULD port it over, but they just don't want to and no longer have to so they aren't.
edited to fix a nasty run on sentence....typing train of thought isn't always a good idea......
- 5 years ago@mcsupersport I'm not talking about multiplayer in every game; I'm talking about multiplayer in a game that already has multiplayer.
If they don't want to add multiplayer for future titles, fine... I would prefer they not divide their attention, and just focus on immersive mature story telling anyway in the main campaign.
I mean, is it unreasonable to want access (some months after release) to a pre-existing game mode that still have dedicated servers up and running?- mcsupersport5 years agoHero+
True in some aspects, but consider that Bioware would have to expend time and effort port it over and support it in addition to the normal ME3 multiplayer unless they also coded in some kind of cross play to original ME3 MP. But if Bioware devs don't really like MP, and were annoyed to have to create it in the first place simply because some EA exec decided it had to be there, then they may just not want to put in that effort again. Do I have any inside info....no, but it kinda seems that Bioware is ok with the still running ME3 multiplayer, MEA multiplayer and have no desire to add another MP to the list. Is any of my conjecture true??? No clue, but it was posted in an interview with about EA's change in focus with respect to their studios, and then Bioware decided to NOT put in the time to upgrade ME3 MP....
Personally, I think allowing all of EA's studios to decide what type of game and focus they want to develop is a great idea. I honestly don't even know if it will bear out as truth and continued policy, but I can hope.

I agree... but what does that have to do with not allowing access to Mass Effect 3's multiplayer? I'm 99.99% certain that implementing access to ME3 multiplayer (without the upgrades) at a later date doesn't require a degree in advanced astrophysics.
I'm not talking about colonizing/terra-forming Mars. I'm talkin' 'bout gaining access to an already existent game mode that is still up and running. Where's the difficulty in that?
Look, I get what you're saying and I agree to some extent; but no, I want ME3 multiplayer. And after the failure that is Anthem and the whole 'My face is tired" debacle that is ME Andromeda, I think Bioware should go that extra mile to cater to their fan base.
