Doesn't sound too bad, hope it's more than just another horde mode though.

Hello everyone!

As most of you know by now, this evening an accidental leak occurred of some early Mass Effect 3 beta code.  Microsoft has advised us that through human error at their end, content which was meant for internal beta testing was flagged incorrectly and released to individuals who had signed up for the beta of the Xbox Live dashboard update.  It has since been taken down and deactivated.

We'd like to stress that the leaked code is in a rough, unfinished state and was not meant for public release. The content is not final, and is not reflective of the quality of the finished, polished game due for release on March 6, 2012 (March 9 in Europe).

One feature that was present in this early build is a set of game play modes that are in development. In the beta code they are referred to as "action mode", "story mode" and "RPG mode". We want to stress that these features are still in the early stages of development and will receive considerable iteration and refinement. These modes are designed to give players an even finer degree of control over their game experience than ever before.  Whether it be someone who finds the combat difficult but wants to experience the amazing story, someone who wants to focus on the action and combat game play, or fans who want the rich, story-driven RPG Mass Effect experience they've come to love – Mass Effect 3 will support all of these options.  We'll have more info in the days ahead!

You can see it looks rough as hell.

Good read, main points:

. Entire game comes on one disc

. No split-screen or LAN at launch, may happen later though

. PC will require a one time online activation then can be played offline fron then after

Entire game comes on one disc

Wonder if that's a good thing or a bad thing? I mean, I thought it was pretty epic that #2 came on two discs.

Even at it's early stage, that looked f**king intense. I like how much the enemies can navigate the environment... when he first saw that Atlas I was thinking "Ohhh SHIIIII--".

Present evidence shows that it's a good thing, considering how much more it already has than Mass Effect 2. Now I don't have to have my space faring interrupted by a disc change.

Well, I mean, wouldn't only one disc mean that we are getting less content that if we got two? I guess they could have found out a way shrink big data into smaller data, meaning that even though it's only on one discs there more to do.

[Space Sweeper]

Definitely means the found a way to condense the data onto a single disc. Larger scale games than Mass Effect 2 have done it already.

Well going off some of the things I've read of the "original" plot this sounds like a good thing.
