User blog comment:Lancer1289/BioWare gets on the Multiplayer bandwagon/@comment-3268946-20111012162841

I just saw the Bioware tv spot that talked about the new co-op. A few things of interest:

1. Multiplayer is made by the Montreal studio, singleplayer is made by the Edmonton studio, so the singleplayer is in no way compromised.

2. You co-op experience is canon to the shepard you are currently playing as and will help the galaxy in the overall war effort.

3. Didn't learn this from the video but important all the same, but it seems that Casey Hudson was looking into putting multiplayer in ME since the first game, but couldn't implement it properly in the past.
