Auto Assault Q&A, Part Two

WorthPlaying has published the second installment to their Auto Assault Q&A with project lead Scott Brown. Here's a bit to start you off:
Q: What sort of things does Auto Assault do to help facilitate interaction between players?

A: Different players have different abilities so playing together gives players a wider possibility of how to deal with different threats. Also, since the game's loot system is so dynamic, it will be common for another player to find something with the statistical enhancements that you are looking for; item trade will be a big part of Auto Assault. Additionally, since the pacing of combat is so fast, typing text can be difficult so we have included full voice chat support any time you convoy up to play.
