Mass Effect-3 News: FREE Multiplayer DLC. With New Characters, Map Effects and NEW ENEMY! to fight.
Let me start by saying WOW where did this come from!!! I heard nothing nothing about the approach of this for the last couple of weeks. Though I've had my head buried in borderlands-2 but did still check up on the Bioware forum for any new changes etc... to this awesome multiplayer game. This just blew me out of the water when I spotted it today. Very excited to give this a try as it looks like there's loads of fresh additions in the update

They've Also added a new challenge feature to the multiplayer mix to keep things interesting for the players.
New Multiplayer Challenge Feature
Think you are the best soldier in the Alliance? Make sure to track your progress in the new “Challenges” database. Complete various multiplayer assignments and feats of strength to unlock titles and banners to display in-game, and then compare your progress against your friend.
How does it work?
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
The “Challenges” database tracks various in-game statistics, such as your N7 Typhoon usage. To earn challenge points, you’ll need to complete mini-goals. For example, accumulate 140,000 points while using the Typhoon in multiplayer and you’ll be rewarded with 10 challenge points.
What Can You Do With Challenge Points?
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Challenge points are used to unlock cool in-game multiplayer bonuses, such as new titles and banners. Want other players to know that you’re a Council Operative? You can do that. Want to be the envy of your friends with a flashy new banner to display in the player lobby? You can do that, too!
Challenge points lead to unlocks, and unlocks allow you to personalize your multiplayer experience. Now, you’ve got some work to do, Soldier!
