Mass Effect 3 Mission Command on Facebook will let you spam your friends in various "missions" that will help you unlock Xbox Live Avatar items, add-ons, and more. According to a promotional invite to the program, "your decisions will determine the rewards." The more you interact with the app, the more chances you'll have to earn a "custom Paragon or Renegade Xbox 360 with Kinect."
The first "mission" will have you signing up for the Facebook app. According to the site, if the promotion gets "enough recruits," everyone will be able to receive the Normandy prop for their Xbox Live Avatar.
Future "missions" may involve a bit more creativity. For example, next week's challenge will have members submitting a "pick up" or "rejection" line to Liara for a chance to win early access to the Mass Effect 3 demo. A future mission will have you creating a video recreating moves from the game for a chance to win a Mass Effect 3 customized Xbox 360 system with Kinect.

I have a strange feeling this stuff is going to culminate in a Mcdonald's Happy meal toy series.

Hopefully the core single-player game is still good and I can just ignore all this cruft.

Only if an unlock is a Wrex costume.

I just did this last night so far its crap nothing happend other then to tell me to post the same rehash mission on my wall and let others know about it.

Eff this, get me to play this game so EA can mine a bunch of info about me as a person who is interested in Mass Effect. So they can use loopholes in FB Privacy to mine my friends to find out who is friends with a person who likes Mass Effect and do they like Mass Effect too? Sounds like this is more intrusive than its worth.

Multiplayer affecting the singleplayer, gimicky facebook bullshit, expecting that people will hate the ending, promises of more DLC to get the whole story...
If you don't like it, don't buy...how is that a stupid reaction?

Yah fuck that... not buying this game.

That's what they want you to think...I could see them keeping the ME universe going via other types of games and then pulling this cross promotion DLC shit because you know ME3 is going to sell a ton.

Man, WTF Bioware. Actually, I have a feeling this is all EA.
I honestly can't see the devs being all like: "YEAH. This is a GREAT IDEA!"-
Yup, then again, I'm pretty sure Bioware of today is just a shell of it's pre-EA days.

Wow. What haven't they used for mass effect 3 dlc.....

Panties

This has to be a troll.
-
goddammit.
-
lol BioWare.
After the insanity of what they are changing to SWTOR already, BioWare is slowly losing touch with everything.-
EA corrupts, being owned by EA corrupts absolutely.
