god i hope not. Mass Effect is such a great franchise but i really think a multiplayer would ruin it. The game doesn't have a multiplayer or co-op feel to it in any way (to me, though i know some would argue the three man team asks for it. I cant see it working) and to add it in just for the sake of doing so really would ruin it IMHO. They shouldn't ruin a great final game in the trilogy (not counting galaxy..cuz who would waste their time counting that lol).
