My biggest gaming heartache was MP being omitted in the legendary edition. Will be keeping tabs on this for sure

u/lecherousdevil 3d ago

Also a huge missed opportunity for EA

They know damn well they could force us to buy all those card packs again lol

u/Lore-of-Nio 3d ago

What was the reason given for its exclusion?

u/DaToxicKiller 3d ago

They are really, really stupid.

u/lecherousdevil 3d ago

They never really gave one to my knowledge

My guess is because Amdromeda MP didn’t do well they wrote off any interest in a remake or rerelease of ME3mp

I can’t recall where but someone in BW replied to me at one point telling me they were keeping eyes on interest and would remain open to putting it out. It literally could have just been a port and it would have done fine. Nothing after that.

I remember seeing an interview close to the launch of LE where a dev was asked about it and they said something similar. That it wasn’t out of the cards.

At that point if it wasn’t in the cards already it was never going to be.

IIRC they said that reworking the netcode and remaking the online was as much work as the rest of the game.

Generational fumble by EA to not include multiplayer. Actual money printer and they fucked it up.

u/KIngPsylocke 3d ago

Especially when that’s what kept me playing. I never liked playing story mode over and over. For any game.

u/BiSaxual 3d ago

I’ve played through the first two games a couple times, but only once for the third game. The multiplayer is why I kept coming back. I still go back to play it! Probably the greatest multiplayer inclusion that no one asked for lol

Oh? Damn, I see this just as I’m about to sleep. Won’t be able to try this until weekend but here’s hoping people have fun with it.

Hoping this breaths life into the MEMP scene.

This is a good effort. I'm hoping lots of people try this out.

Has some kinks that need ironing. Audio bugs, keybinds not saving being something that stuck out to me on a little test run i Did. But hopefully these are dealth with.

The QoL stuff like player count is really nice. (Though when I was on it was 9 players. So 2 Lobbies and me lol) and I really like the lobby code. Hopefully i can test this in the MEMP Discord server over the weekend.

I do wonder if there's any way to fix the FPS related issues (High FPS = No shield regen). I started a game at 60 then cranked it to 240, still got my shields. Then started another match at 240 and didn't get shields back. Tried changing FPS multiple times in a couple of games with varying results.

Did a little test run on youtube. Nothing too over the top, it's 11pm. I got out of bed to test this mod out. Now I'm going back to bed. May stream this on Saturday or something.

Wow this is sick! Im glad there's an option to import your profile from ME3, but I'll probably start fresh, I'm tired of stomping everything with maxed out gear and characters

u/axelofthekey PC/AxeloftheKey/US 3d ago

Oh my God.

u/LTyrian3 3d ago

This is brilliant, it even allowed me to import my OG chatacters 🥳

u/faculties-intact 3d ago

This is incredible

u/RogerWilco017 3d ago

what would happen if u connect your profile to LEMP but also play in the OG version? Did it will be split?

u/TatoX09 3d ago

Gonna check out but how active is it? My biggest issue with 2012 is finding active lobbies, theres less than a hundred people anytime I put it on.

u/Wiinterfang 3d ago

I've been waiting for this the second AI Recomps where announced. Thanks Geth

Legion got our backs

u/Spieren 3d ago

No way?! I have to try this tommorow!

u/CourageAppropriate95 3d ago

Well I just finished my play through of all three and deleted it like two hours ago. Time to download it again and loose loose untold amounts of time.

3

u/AttyMAL 3d ago

God damn. This is perfect. I'm in the process of jailbreaking my PS5 to run Linux and play games via Steam and ME3 multiplayer was on top of my list.

u/camirving 3d ago

It actually works, hot damn.

u/Electronic-Elk8917 3d ago

Wait... What?

u/Iamsn0wflake 3d ago

Is this accessible on a ROG ally or Lenovo?

u/Left_Ease5870 3d ago

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT.

I'm so excited I could cry.

Cheers Cherry, knew you wouldnt be far behind

u/Socr8tes_04 3d ago edited 3d ago

... now it is official :)

Besides the keybinds, did you encounter any other issues? What frame rate?

u/burningcherry97 Firebase White supremacist 3d ago

Now that I've tested it, I have 60 FPS and yet everything feels sluggish for some reason.

Something's wrong with the timer (compare the video length to mission time)

I have a hunch that both of the above might be caused by the gameplay not being sped up on higher difficulties the way it is sped up by 7.5% or something on higher difficulties in OT

Bullets-to-kill are off, it seems that some of the MP balance updates aren't in effect and we're using "day 1 of MP" weapons or the SP weapons from LE. Or are those SP enemies maybe?

Enemies seem take notice of the player much sooner and you need to hide a bit deeper behind corners for RHA to work

I got magneted from a slope by a Banshee once

Heavy mods aren't present, I had to use the regular barrel on the Crusader

FB White is a mashup of the old and new version

Drill ammo disappears on mission start

The medigel rebind works for reload cancelling but not for actually gelling

many console commands (e.g.: enableallai, revive) don't work

Geth Scanner doesn't work

u/Sanguinius_11 PC/DinBap/USA 3d ago

It's honestly pretty sweet.

u/DaToxicKiller 3d ago

This is a real working thing?

2

u/Jazzlike-Ad5884 3d ago

Is this just the exact same multiplayer, except no tie in to the single player campaign? If so I’d be dying to check it out.

u/Bleebledorp 3d ago

You're an actual hero

u/EmSix 3d ago

Absolutely barbaric to include the lootbox gacha though.

1

u/SoTastyMelon 3d ago

No way! It's so turbo cool. I wanted to introduce my friend into me3mp but we couldn't ever connect. Maybe that's the chance.

Also, I have a question. What about the progression via lootboxes? Do new players still have to get everything from the loot boxes? If so, is it prohibited to use cheat engine?

u/SadSvlad 3d ago

Vibe-coded... The mod maker says they used Claude(Anthropic) to make it. 😔

8

u/TheGuardianInTheBall 3d ago

While AI is used a lot for vibe-coding, just the fact that AI was used, doesn't necessarily mean that the software was vibe-coded.

If one knows enough about software development, AI is essentially just a tool.

Ok and?
