"As far as i know, the only way to increase the GR is thourgh the MP, and if you don't have enough GR, then you are basically screwed when it comes to how well it will go in the final battle."

It's very easy to get enough War Assets to get the best endings without multiplayer. I had a high enough EMS to qualify for the best endings on all three of my playthroughs without multiplayer.

I love ME3's multiplayer. It's a great social experience in the days where most online games are competitive. It's challenging and gives a lot more replay value to the game.

And to be honest, I really find it silly how people compare the inclusion of multiplayer to ME3 to Call of Duty or other modern shooters, as if ME3 multiplayer is anything like them or they're the only games that have multiplayer.
