Your job is to survive all 11 waves and complete the objectives when they appear. The maps are based off of single-player side missions that you may encounter if you play the single player portion. Each wave gets progressively harder, with stronger enemy types and a different objective within a round that you have to complete. You are matched up against one of the three different enemy types Cerberus, Geth or Reapers. The multiplayer is a 4 player co-op Horde styled mode.

With roughly 15 hours of multiplayer goodness under my belt, I’m here to tell you whether it’s worth your invested time and money. The full version of ME3’s multiplayer includes six maps, three different enemy types, and three difficulty settings. Multiplayer is new to the Mass Effect series, and it brings a co-op experience with a leveling and unlock system that is unique in style. If you have downloaded the Mass Effect 3 demo when it was released on February 14th, then you already got a chance to experience a small sample of Mass Effect’s multiplayer.
