A lot of teams now have completely separate groups. One who works on multiplayer and one who works on single player. Bioshock 2 suffered from having multiplayer added. But with Dead Space 2, we can see the separate focuses, with single being the main draw, and multiplayer added only as a fun extra. Heck there aren't even any achievements/trophies for the multi. If ME3 pulls it off in this fashion (as they are both published by EA) then that would be perfect. Dead Space 2 I feel really set the bar for how single player and multiplayer should interact and even be included together.
