As a rule, I generally dislike online multiplayer for any game, but I have to say the ME3 multiplayer is an exception for me. Personally, I don't really like the idea of HAVING to play the multiplayer to affect singleplayer, but within the context of ME3, the co-op multiplayer makes a ton of sense because you are literally fighting the war against the reapers while Shepard's off doing his thing. I prefer to think of the multiplayer as a parallel campaign to Shepard's story.
