And while debate still rages on what the impact will be of changing an exclusively single-player experience upside-down, Mass Effect 3‘s co-op mode is existing and dwindling quickly in both popularity and importance."
EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
The Congressional Labor Caucus sent a letter to the FTC warning the debt-financed, largely PIF-owned deal could be bad news for workers
lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6
Wait,
The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.
NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.
EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
Doesnt need to be fixed..absolutely loved it..my fave multiplayer experience this year, Who knew?

The only ones I can agree with are more locations and more enemies.
It certainly does not need more heavy weapons, all I use is a Carnifex X and that's more than powerful enough. I rarely use missiles even though I have 255 of them. There are already some guns in the game that are too powerful, we don't need more. For example I don't use my Krysae as it makes it just too easy, it's like a long range, accurate RPG.
I just want Bioware to implement some kind of trading system into the game. That way if you get something you don't want, and your friend does, you can trade it to him for something you want.
Example: You get a N7 fury, but you wanted a N7 shadow. Your friend has the shadow, and he wanted the fury. You trade characters and everyone is happy.
It needs more variety. I haven't played it in weeks because it's so stale. New characters and weapons don't do much to spice up the same old horde mode.
I'm pretty vocal when it comes to my hatred for ME3's ending, but I found the MP pretty good. The question is, how committed to it will they be in the future. So far they have pretty good.
The only thing I think they need to work on is more variety in gameplay. Different modes and enemies. Aside from that, it doesn't need "fixing".
