Though it's been quite a while since we've heard anything regarding Mass Effect 3's once-rumored multiplayer functionality, Eurogamer and CVG are both citing anonymous sources who claim the title will have a standalone four-player cooperative mode.
The mode will feature a handful of missions which won't interact with the main storyline, and are designed to have a high replay value. Considering we spent around 40 hours mining for Element Zero in Mass Effect 2, we don't think our attention is going to be very hard to retain.

Speaking to Eurogamer at E3 last week, BioWare co-founder Ray Muzyka wouldn't confirm nor deny the co-operative missions, instead saying, "We haven't talked at all about multiplayer in the Mass Effect franchise, but we're exploring multiplayer in all of our games and all of our franchises." Sounds like he's either deflecting, or hinting at a multiplayer update to Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, which might be the single most illogical assumption we've ever crafted.

That will be awesome as long as it stays how they say it is not involving the main story.

As long as they stay out of the main story I'm cool with it.

Agreed, it would ruin the main story if they incorporated the multiplayer into it. Not a bad idea for a little replay value though once you've nailed the campaign a couple of times. Hopefully though the game will be nice and long anyways, I couldn't get enough of ME2.

I'm all for Co-op Multiplayer aslong as it doesn't harm the Single-Player by making it a shorter Game and less stuff to do in the Game... if that's the case, keep it out.

After all, i'm buying Mass Effect for the awesome long Campaign and the kick ass Side Quests etc... not for some garbage Multiplayer that i can get else where much better.
