IGN - Earlier today, we found out that Mass Effect 3 will have a multiplayer mode. We don't know many details yet, but we did receive confirmation of cooperative play.
Opinions around the IGN office are mixed, and a few editors decided to share their thoughts about the new feature.

One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.

Who cares..CoDMW3 multiplayer is coming next month. Thats all i need.
Fast Paced Arcade Addictive Fun Gameplay FTW.
very much agree with these guys, I did not ever feel the need for MP in Mass Effect 1 or 2, plus it really will detract from MY story as I made my character and the decisions of 2 games and adding MP like Co-op will not appeal to me.
this article is before the world knew any detail whatsoever about the MP, so posting this now makes about as much sense as the original article (that would be no sense at all...)
If there is one game in the world that doesn't need Multiplayer, it's Mass Effect. Don't waste your time on this Bioware.
I think it's OK. ME has a style of gameplay that can be perfectly adapted to cooperative MP.
Also, in ME2, sometimes you feel like the members of the team werent a real contribution, I mean, they were not capable to give you a f**ng medigel!! In those moments, I really wanted to have coop (split-screen could work, too).
Also, the story has only a few moments where you must play with a single character, and since you're free to choose which mision you want to do next, there is no problem in play with other person, IMO
