Save the Universe, With a Pal!

[First thing I'm gonna do when I get ME3. Is whup some d-bag with that Omni-Blade]

The Rumor Wagon has been churning out that Mass Effect 3 will have multilayer. They said it about ME2 [They said it a lot.] and ME3 has received the same treatment; and for a time, BioWare played along. Yet, out comes word that BioWare has denied multiplayer for the 3rd Person Space Epic. But then, out of left field, Mass Effect is delayed  to 2012. Now like many others, I speculated the delay was due to a multiplayer component to the game that had more bugs than they had time to squash, or multiplayer was deemed "doable" and they pushed the blockbuster title back to squeeze it in; or both.

Regardless of reason, the bottom line is that BioWare found time to at least fill in one crucial blank. To answer that, asked all to many times, question. "Will Mass Effect 3 have multiplayer of any kind?"
That answer is a sweet, sweet, YES! [Feel free to go "Boo-Yah!" Or, "Yee-haw!" No it's okay, I'll wait.]

Good? OK! Below is a cut from their forums, where they made the joyous declaration.

--  Hi Everyone

Today BioWare and the Mass Effect 3 team are very pleased to announce 4 player co-op multiplayer missions and the Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War system for Mass Effect 3 on the PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.


4 player co-op multiplayer

Join your friends in the all-out galactic war to take Earth back. The universe of Mass Effect expands with the addition of new co-op multiplayer missions, playable over Xbox Live, PSN and PC internet. Players can choose from a variety of classes and races, form an elite Special Forces squad, and combine their weapons, powers and abilities to devastating effect as they fight together to liberate key territories from enemy control.
