Mass Effect is a RPG. It does not need multi-player.

While the joke you put, compariing Vader to Helmet, is, I must admit, hilarious, it doesnt properly convey what's really going on with the addition of the Cooperative mode into Mass Effect 3.
In truth, while you will be playing with other people, it will not be as in most Multiplayer modes where you are set up against an enemy team, consisting of real players, nor will you just be thrown into a 'Slayer' type gameplay mode where it's every man for himself. Instead, you will be given the option to further your ability to fight the Reapers by teaming up with three other people, using a new group of characters that you can design and create strictly for Co-op, which, in turn, will actually help Shepard's attempt to save te galaxy in the Single Player Campaign.
Now, if you do not wish to play the Cooperative mode, Casey Hudson has clearly stated that you dont have to and that it is ENTIRELY optional. I believe that the whole point of true RPGs is to give you more choice in how you accomplish a goal, correct? That's why many of us shy away from games like Call of Duty and Halo. Becuase they're so... linear. They have one outcome which never changes. My point is, adding a Cooperative mode, in the way that Bioware has for ME3, simply gives the player more choice as to how he or she wishes to complete the game.
If it isnt your thing, then simply dont play it. If it is, then go for it. I however will reserve final judgement for when I actually have the game at my fingertips.
