if it doesnt interfere with the single player, im sure everyone will be happy. personally i dont want my friends playing it in coop with me, they can bugger off. if the multiplayer is stand alon and good, then yay. if they fuck it up then ill be pissed off and they will be bellends for bothering with it
You know, I was all upset about this, but if it's just co-op and not some kind of team deathmatch crap, I'm actually kind of happy about it. What better game to play with two friends? It'd be cool to have to actually work as a team, instead of just getting do have your squad members do whatever you tell them. And can you imagine how cool it would be to play as Garrus?
I am also not especially keen on the mp element in the campaign. Although if it is something outside of the story, I am all in. Something similar to the CoD Modern Warfare 2 Spec Ops 'mission' would be awesome. I mean, the Spec Ops feature was the highlight of that otherwise forgettable game - for me at leastMiracleOfSound said:
And we should all bear in mind that Bioware does have some Multiplayer experience. It was called Neverwinter Nights. And it was excellent.
Bleh, I still don't think a game like Mass Effect needs multiplayer at all, but I'm probably never gonna touch the damn mode so it doesn't really affect me.
It seems a bit late in the series to implement this but if it's done right, this could be a really good thing.
I do love how people moan about stagnation in games, but when a developer tries something new it gets shot straight down.
If Bioware are doing this because they want to, rather than the publishers forcing them to do it, then I'm sure it will work out. As someone already pointed out, both Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights both gave you the co-op option and both of those are still high up in my list of great games, and I still play them more then a decade later.

Well this sounds like a needless jumping on the bandwagon...
I just hope its done well and doesnt either detrack from the single player or just make it unbalanced.
But given the last few years, thats probably not gonna happen.

Well i was enthusiastic about playing this but...now...im fairly sure it will be bad. I was hoping for Homefront to be good but its multiplayer raped its story with a spoon, so im guessing mass effects will too. But hey iv been wrong before.
I'm curious as to what Bioware is hoping to accomplish with adding multiplayer to Mass Effect 3. Better sales? Are they hoping to conquer the market for 3rd person cover shooters with four co-op missions? That seems... optimistic, to put it lightly.
I've never even played a Mass Effect game, so my thoughts on this matter will probably end up being overlooked and frowned upon by everyone and their dog.
My question is, why is it such a big issue having multiplayer? Surely the answer would be just to not play the multiplayer.

Hmm... Interesting idea. I'd prefer one player, as that's been what the trilogy's all about. Your choices. You're the bloody saviour of the galaxy. Do NOT want teabagging on that.
But Bioware's always been interesting. I'll gladly see how it turns out, but I'm doubting it. Ah well, if it happens, it happens. Just think it'd sell better as a separate game.
I'd love to play something with the turian first contact. The first contact war as multiplayer? Hell yes.

*GASP* MULTIPLAYER?! THIS IS OFFICIALLY THE WORST GAME TO EVER BE MADE IN THE HISTORY OF EVER!
See how silly that sounds?
Relax, it's just co-op. Stand alone co-op, mind you. Think Portal 2 multiplayer but with more killing.
