BioWare and Electronic Arts is continuing to expand the multiplayer mode of Mass Effect 3. Coming May 29th is a brand new DLC pack called "Rebellion," which adds more gear, more weapons, more maps, and more kits to the game's online offering. Best of all, it will be free for everyone that redeemed their Online Pass. New Maps

Reegar Carbine Shotgun
Krysae Sniper Rifle
Cerberus Harrier Assault Rifle

New Characters

This isn't the first free DLC BioWare has offered for the game. April's "Resurgence Pack" was also free for Online Pass users. Single player adventurers can look forward to the upcoming "Extended Cut" DLC, which BioWare plans on making free as well.

      Assigning resources to MP in a historically SP franchise. Microtransactions, that's what it's all about.

      As some one who enjoys the multiplayer I am glad they spent time adding more hooks into the game. I would rather them spend time releasing these map packs quickly and concentrate on significant missions for single player dlc.
      
      Plus, you know it is free.

  This all well and good, but they need to fix the damn loot in this game. Playing mp since launch and I have only managed to get one other assault rifle other than the default? *adds shotgun to dusty pile of shotguns.

      Yeah, just poor luck of the draw I guess. It took me forever to get another sniper rifle other than the default too.

        I'd say start buying recruit packs and maximize the weapons from that pack to Tier X then move up to Veteran/Spectre. Use this guide to figure out which weapons come from particular packs: http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Mass_Effect_3_Multiplayer/Character_Customization#Weapons_and_Mods

        This, not buying the recruit packs and filling up will kill you. I was saving up for Spectre/Premium packs and I was leveling up my first tier of weapons. Make sure your whole 1st tier is up to X before moving on. Learn to play as a adept if your don't have good weapons at first.

      they could make it more anger inducing by offering the ability to purchase specific weapons and upgrades, but only with bioware points.

  I enjoyed this, found it well done, but felt zero motivation to continue with the MP after I finished the SP. Nothing to do with the ending, there's just not enough variety in the MOP to bother with for long.
