I was pleased with the news that ME 3 would support online multiplayer along with single player campaign... They also confirmed that the co-op multiplayer would have an impact on the single player experience, which is also great news in my opinion... I just have one slight problem with all this... Why no PvP online play? I'm fully aware that ME was intended to be a rich, engrossing single player experience, and the Bio Ware team delivered on that 110% (again in my opinion), but when you make an announcement to add multiplayer to a beloved franchise there is the chance it may not work as intended. I'm assuming that the team is testing out the online experience for future projects (ME 4 anyone?), but I would have enjoyed the ability to play against other great fans of the series... Perhaps a reboot of the failed Pinnacle Station DLC from ME 1? Picture it... 4 on 4 with several different maps to keep the gameplay from getting stale... Anyway looking forward to ME 3... Keeping my fingers crossed for the movie though. 
the reason for not having PvP is simple, if you chose who you fought for you could either shoot your single player self in the foot by playing with cereberus, or help your single-player self by playing against cereberus. now think about it. it may be a nice idea to make a "special" selection that has PvP that will NOT affact the single-player campaign outcome at all. in that case I could see PvP making sense. I also hope that there is a movie, AND THAT SETH GREEN PLAYS JOKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the ONLY person who looks like the person they did the voice for and they don't want to use him for the movie? and if it is CG then they still have no excuse. joker might not have shot a gun down a bad guys throat, but he fly Normandy well enough to kick anyone's butt. Joker is a big character, anyone that knows the game knows Joker's voice
