User blog comment:Reptileman778/What is the canon explanation for why you are fighting geth in multiplayer?/@comment-70.143.75.215-20120911072313

It's multiplayer. Let's face it, realistically speaking, hundreds of thousands of 4 person squads aren't going to be fighting over the same bit of a Noveria landing dock. Sooner or later, that desk everyone hides behind would be nibbled away by the supposedly high power weapons being used. So lets just go with the 'pockets of resistance' explanation, and not think about it too hard.
