The Matrix Online Interview (GameSpot)

GameSpot has posted an interesting interview with The Matrix Online producer William Westwater. The interview talks about various subjects such as the game storyline and what players can expect out of the upcoming MMORPG.

Here’s a glimpse at the GameSpot interview:

GS: What are the roles that players will have in a group? Will everyone be a front-line fighter, or will there be support roles?

WW: In the Matrix, players fall into a number of roles, from soldiers to coders. Soldiers, the martial arts experts, create a front line to pin enemies down. Behind them, hackers and coders rely on viruses to damage their enemies, heal allies, or create entire simulacra, or virtual combatants, that fight as the player commands. Spies rely on sneaking and deception to attack from behind, swaying battles with their sudden and unexpected arrivals
