Next Mass Effect to get Multi-Player??

According to this story on Gamespy BioWare Montreal is looking for a Lead Multiplayer Programmer “working on BioWare's top franchises”. Many people have interpreted the posting to indicate that Mass Effect 3 will have a multi-player component.

Reading it it could be any one of BioWare’s franchises and not necessarily Mass Effect.  It could be a game in the Mass Effect universe or one of BioWare’s other franchises.

I personally would not want ME3 to have a hacked-on multi-player mode.  Possibly a Co-Op mode that is tangential to the story like in Splinter Cell Conviction would be OK, though I would be hard pressed to find good on the idea of a full Co-Op ME3, it could be good, it could be horrible (most likely the latter).  I was not impressed with Co-Op in Borderlands, it was OK, but really depended on who you played with. Here is hoping that they spend time on making ME3 a really great single player experience and don't try to tack on some half-baked multiplayer and don’t spend time polishing the single player.
