So, I just got my paws on the patch 1.05 (thankyou to FFZero for the help + reminder).
Stuff found so far:

- Assault rifle, shotgun and sniper rifle ultra light materials (probably primarily for multiplayer).
- Most of the recent single player DLC weapons are getting added to multi player.

There'll be more exciting stuff shortly I hope, I've just scratched the surface ;)

Edit: More stuff page 2 of the thread

Edit edit: Since we're now getting a billion hits related to new multiplayer game modes, let me clarify my statements here:

Nice! =D

Do you hope to get any clues on the DLC's storyline with that? Or is it just going to be mp related?

Usually map and script data come out of a patch datamine. But with TSA running this, who knows?

I've never seen anything like this one though, it's SUPER clean.
Like, usually the DLC_shared files even in the patches contained bits of script, all of them had the stuff from leviathan at least, and this one's more or less blanked:

Everything cut. Even the bits from Leviathan. Hell, there's not even any multiplayer subs in there...

Also, the coalesced files aren't able to be opened, I'm not sure if they're encrypted or what but I can't make sense of them at all, whereas every other one had all its details hanging out making suggestive poses...

To be clear, a lot of this stuff doesn't technically NEED to be in a patch, it's just that previously they've not removed it and I've been able to leak stuff often months in advance

I guess Bioware finally decided to be secretive Let's hope it will be for the better

[duras]

In which files do you find these and with which program do you open them?

[Ascension Denied]

Only just seen this on google myself and i knew that TSA would be on the case.

ofcourse someone else might have gotten it wrong

Well... what if... they made sure nothing is leaked this time... because... they don't want the stuff for the IT DLC leaked...

Yeah, there's not a lot in this patch that I can access, they've got rid of a lot of the obvious stuff.

That said, there's a few bits and pieces that may well tie into the "reckoning" multiplayer DLC, including that new game mode that appeared in the last one.

Okay, based on what I've found so far I'd say this "leaked" description of the new multiplayer DLC is likely legit:

"The day of reckoning is nigh! The Reckoning Multiplayer Expansion brings six new never before seen co-op story missions to the game and new co-op gameplay modes. It provides four new maps to conquer and hazard variations of the Earth maps. It also enables reinforcement packs that offer new kits for the salarians, krogans, humans and volus. In-game reinforcement packs now include three new weapons (Chakram Launcher, Blood Pack Punisher and Adas Anti-Synthetic Rifle)."

At the very least, we knew they were looking at new gameplay modes for MP at the time the collectors were added, and this patch references a new multiplayer mode as well as all of those weapons being added to MP.

I'm calling this "Tentatively highly likely"

So they lied when they said Retaliation was the last MP pack.

WHAT A FUCKING SURPRISE.
