I think the indoctrination theory is just an attempt to try and justify what many people think is a shitty ending. If you have to think that much about an ending and infer from clues that may or may not be there then it might not be right. Plus, Bioware said the new DLC will provide closure with new cinematics about how your actions affected everyone else in the game. If it was all just an indoctrinated dream then that wouldn't be needed.

Fuck the random loot bullshit. Spent so many credits and I haven't gotten a single DLC character yet, just some shitty weapons. I'm getting the urge to use the credits glitch.
apparently if u play this weekend they will give u access to a pack that has one of the new characters in it. I have played with a few geth and a few justicars but i want to see that Krogan Vanguard

That's only for PC and 360. I play on PS3 and Sony is being stupid and won't allow the same event to be played on PS3. Bioware says it's trying to reach a compromise though.

So whats going on with fixing the ending then?
This is the official bioware statement.

An official press release went out today announcing how we re-prioritizing the Mass Effect 3 post release content schedule to provide a more fleshed out experience for our fans. For many of you the "Extended Cut" will help answer some questions and give closure to this chapter of the Mass Effect story. Oh and it's at no cost to you - the fan.

Here is a mini FAQ to help you understand what the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut is and isn't:

What can fans expect from the Extended Cut DLC?
For fans who want more closure in Mass Effect 3, the DLC will offer extended scenes that provide additional context and deeper insight to the conclusion of Commander Shepard's journey.


Are there going to be more/different endings or ending DLCs in the future?
No. BioWare strongly believes in the team's artistic vision for the end of this arc of the Mass Effect franchise. The extended cut DLC will expand on the existing endings, but no further ending DLC is planned.


What is BioWare adding to the ending with the Extended Cut DLC?
BioWare will expanding on the ending to Mass Effect 3 by creating additional cinematics and epilogue scenes to the existing ending sequences. The goal of these new scenes is to provide additional clarity and closure to Mass Effect 3.


When will the Extended Cut DLC be available?
Currently the Extended Cut DLC is planned for this summer, no specific date has been announced at this point.


Why are you releasing the Extended Cut DLC?
Though we remain committed and are proud of the artistic choices we made in the main game, we are aware that there are some fans who would like more closure to Mass Effect 3. The goal of the DLC is not to provide a new ending to the game, rather to offer fans additional context and answers to the end of Commander Shepard's story.


So there you have it. Are we proud of the game we made and the team that made it? Hell yes. Are we going to change the ending of the game? No. Do we appreciate the passion and listen to the feedback delivered to us by our fans? Very much so and we are responding.

Be good to each other and Summer is coming...

First Spectre Pack I bought, I got the Geth Engineer. I really wanted the Geth Infiltrator, but the engineer is pretty cool.

You don't fight against other teams in the MP just the computer?

EA thinks that tacking on MP to every goddamn game they publish is going to put them in the same boat as the Halo's, the Cod's and all the other popular shooters. It isn't. They tacked the shit on to Dead Space 2, tacked it on to Syndicate (which took away from the campaign) and had Bioware tack it on to ME3. Thats just the shit I remember.

When the new ending drops I'll DL the prothean and the other dlc stuff and then play it again with my og Shepard. After I beat it, I'll clear it all out and start from scratch with a female shepard thats either going to be a total slut or the virgin fuckin mary.

ETA: She'll be a biotic or vanguard.

You fight with 3 other players against the AI. I'm pretty sure Bioware said they'll never put competitive PVP in ME3.

So is this just like horde mode? On the bioware forum I asked if the game allowed for bots and I think it was Casey or one of the Bioware stooges that said it didn't.
Yeah 11 waves of enemies and you gotta kill them all. Waves 3, 6, and 10 are objective waves where you gotta hack something, deactivate something, or assassinate certain enemies. Maybe they thought you meant if you can fight alongside bots. Like you and 3 bots on your team versus the enemies.

I absolutely hated the idea of a MP mode for Mass Effect, but it's tons of fun. It doesn't feel tacked on in the slightest, in my opinion.

Same here. I had mixed feelings about it when I first heard of it but I really like it now. The only thing I dislike is the random loot for reasons I've stated before...

Yeah that is exactly what I meant. I remember in Gears 2 I could have bots on my squad (didn't play horde in part 3 but part 2 you went solo in horde) and I asked about bots and playing offline. No go. So after the 11 waves are up thats the end of the experience?

Yeah 11 waves is the limit. Honestly, for me that's enough. It takes almost 40 minutes to finish one match on gold difficulty and close to 30 for bronze difficulty. I know people wanna play longer but it seems like a good amount of time in my opinion.

I actually like ME3 MP more than the campaign never thought that would happen. SP is cool but I really dig MP and spend more time playing it than SP. I just unlocked the Krogan vanguard too and omg its nice! I got the Batarian Solider and Geth engineer too. Its almost not fair though I got the batarian and the krogan at the same time i had a tough choice who to use next. the niggas i was playin with on bronze to test himout got mad and left on me and i still won easily hes a beast
