Eh, Pacifen is just a moderator, not a game developer. Im still nervous that BW will put in MP.

Rumor: Mass Effect 3 to Include Four Player Co-Op Mode

yes, co-op.

I doubt it.
How would that be accomplished? Only one person can play as Shepard.

Not hard really. Co-op drop-in isn't that far-fetched of a concept depending on how they do it. They could even add support for npc interaction if they wanted, they could either give the host full control of dialogue choices or allow the lobby to vote on which path to take.

The article said co-op like GoW horde mode(?) I hevn't played the game but in my understanding it's a situation where there isn't any story, just waves of enemies whom the players have to fight.
In which case it would seem that BW want to exploit ME3's seemingly improved shooting features and gameplay and allow to player to play the game as a pure shooter instead of an RPG with a story. Which is fine, as long as the shooting is at par with other FPS games.

I dunno doesn't seem that hard to me man sure only one person can be Master Chief but it didn't stop co-op there.

Yeah but there is no real interaction and dialogue choices to do in Halo.
A full story I doubt would be co-op, but I get the whole "fight the horde" idea. That could work, but there would be no real ME-style plot with dialogue wheels and everything.
