Launch Rumor Probe: Co-Op DLC Coming to Mass Effect 3?

A new image has surfaced suggesting that new DLC could be coming to the co-op element of Mass Effect 3

News
Twitter facebook googlebuzz

If my Xbox friends list is anything to go by a lot of Co-Optimus readers are currently playing Mass Effect 3, both in single player and in co-op.  The co-op maps may be fun, but I have played them all, shot all the bad guys and juiced up my hero to over Level 40.  I want more and this leaked image suggests that I will get what I want.

This sneaky pic is currently under strict Rumor Control conditions, but it looks real enough to my thoroughly untrained eye.  Bioware are apparently going to launch some new character types into the 4 player co-op mode; Geth Engineer, Geth Infiltrator, Batarian Soldier, Batarian Sentinel, Krogan Battlemaster and Asari Justicar.  There still seems to be a distinct lack of the Volus race - personally I would love to run around as the grumpy shorties, no more need to duck behind cover.

Speculation over at Reddit suggests that this DLC may actually be linked to the action figures Co-Optimus mentioned a few weeks back.  Whether the DLC will be a standalone pack, or come in dribs and drabs via the copious amount of Mass Effect 3 merchandise is anyone's guess.  What the image does suggest is that some form of co-op based DLC will be coming to the game – joy!

Smells fishy to me!

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that this is legit. This is the first ME multiplayer and if it just stagnates then people will lose interest. Character packs and maps are what the MP crowd craves and they could even probably charge for access to it.

I have no doubts that there is multiplayer content coming soon, but this "leak" is pretty strange. A player bought a special "developer pack" from the in-game store, which proceeded to unlock every single item in the game, including these new classes. I would also expect that if there was a Krogan vanguard, it would be called a vanguard and not battlemaster in keeping with the classes already in the game.

Plus, who wants to play as Batarians? They're like the trailer trash of the galaxy!

On top of what Strider lists just look at the sheer amount of crap this 'leak' promises.

For free we're supposed to get 3 new endings (ok, maybe). New MP stuff (PDLC, you can count on it). New classes? That would be a first for Mass Effect, unless this is a screwy way of saying new MP classes (again, doubtful). And the real kicker - something that will allow you to use your SP DLC Weapons in MP? HAHAHAHAHAHA

That is all.

I don't care about new character classes, I just want new maps.
