No Co-Op (or Any Multiplayer) For Mass Effect 3

Mass Effect 3 was revealed at the VGAs last weekend, and speculation has run rampant that the highly anticipated sequel would include multiplayer of some type.  We, naturally, were hoping for co-op of some sort.  But our dreams of defending the earth from some wicked looking alien baddies with a friend will have to be fulfilled in some other game.

On the official BioWare forums, a moderator posted the following.

Now that BioWare has officially announced Mass Effect 3 with their press release yesterday, I’m going back to my age-old thread closer here: Mass Effect 3 is a single-player game.

I guess they didn't get the memo that single player games are dead?  Too bad.  Mass Effect is a series I've always been interested in, but without co-op, I doubt I'll experience it anytime soon.  What are your thoughts?
