Mass Effect To Get Multiplayer

BioWare’s Montreal Studio has an opening for a Multiplayer Programmer, listed under the Mass Effect franchise.

It looks like BioWare is testing the waters to see if they can integrate an enjoyable multiplayer experience here - as an admitted Mass Effect fanatic (shut up, the comics are pretty good!) I’m stoked for the idea. Granted, I’m not quite sure how it would work. Seeing Mass Effect 2’s shooting mechanic in a multiplayer environment would take some getting used to - and imagine how frustrating it would be to get pulled and thrown by psy-opponents over and over again!

They may be trying to open up Mass Effect to the masses, and not just the RPG fanbase - then again, maybe a movie based on the series could do just that.

What do you think about the idea of Mass Effect multiplayer? Are you excited?
