The main flaw in your comment about the chance of MP causing changes in SP is that it wouldn't happen, MP is being made by a completely separate team to the team that does SP, and the multiplayer design team are not going to ask the other team to get rid of a popular feature, mainly because there cannot be something in MP that means something has to be removed from SP, especially because the combat is exactly the same (Apart from the fact in MP you can't choose what team-mates do), so it couldn't possibly affect SP.
