An official listing over at the PlayStation website has outed a second batch of DLC for Mass Effect 3’s “Special Forces” online co-op. The page has since been removed, though not before Kotaku managed to grab the scoop. Titled “Rebellion” the content bundle (which has yet to be priced) will include two new maps including the jungle-like Firebase Jade and Thessia-based Firebass Goddess.
Aside from three new weapons and additional gear, Rebellion will also make way for six new playable classes. These will include the Quarian Engineer and Infiltrator, the Vorcha Soldier and Sentinal, as well as the “Phoenix” Adept and Vanguard.
Those who play the online component will know that ME3 already houses the Quarian Engineer/Infiltrator classes, the latest DLC perhaps ushering in a male Quarian variant.
Phoenix is also a name that won’t be familiar to some. A quick bit of wiki-skimming brings up two results; the star system “Phoenix” or the original ME’s “Phoenix Armour.” Having both an Adept and Vanguard as class options, its safe to assume that whatever the Phoenix turns out to be, it will be a biotic-centric playable race.

I’ll be very interested in this if some nice lovely trophies are thrown in with it. otherwise, I won’t bother.
Commence pointless trophy argument

Completely with you here Tony, I don’t bother with trophies with most games (I got all the trophies on BF3 long, long ago and still play, don’t even care on SP games) but ME3 is setup in the way that, I’ll only play it if I’m chasing trophies (with friends). The MP is suited perfectly for it, and there’s really no other draw towards the MP (for me, personally). It’s great, but not good enough to keep me coming back for any other reason.

Mabay it is adding more human charecter but with diffrent armours to go with other abilitys, so you can disinquish between them just by looking at them.

I hope the next one adds a playable Prothean. I don’t really care for the Batarians and fully understand that there is only really one Prothean, but come on, it’d be so cool.
