I loved the ME3 mp. I have quite a few dozens of hours in there. But at some point the frustrating unlock system, nonexistent drop in / drop out and infinite connection problems were just too much to bear.

ME3 MP is pretty great, even if the rest of the game is not up to par but the MP bart is very challenging and sometimes brütal.

I actually condone the ME3 micro-transaction system, for multiplayer that is. Having your paid content be obtainable through gameplay in something that's already inherently made to be played repeatedly is fine, but even better when it results in free map packs, characters, weapons and enemies, meaning the entire community gets the new content instead of fracturing them with paid DLC expansions.

I think of it more like macrotransactions. Instead of you paying a desired amount bit by bit, everyone pays what they want, and everyone pays for everyone's updates and new content. xD

It's a nice alternative to $10-$15 map packs that aren't useful because only x% of players play them.

Looking back it's amazing how much additional content went into the multiplayer since it's release less than one year ago. The number of playable characters and maps more than doubled. Several new weapons were added. New enemies and even a whole new enemy class. One extra hard difficulty level. Weekly balance updates (since December bi-weekly). And as one of the best things, a huge challenge system with banners and all that incentivizes gamers to try out different classes and play-styles.

And all this for everyone and for free.

I am almost ashamed that I do not spend money on the item shop, but to me, earning the credits and opening those little boxes of inventory in hope for a weapon upgrade is part of the fun. A better solution for me would be an option to pay for higher probabilities to get upgrades when opening a pack rather than just getting more packs.
