The esteemed gentlemen at Clanger.com have posted a response they received from Scott Campbell (Myth III Project Lead) at Mumbo Jumbo answering questions put to him by the Clanger staff. Among other things, Scott talks about the tweaking of multiplayer as well as improving the scoring system (time to rekindle the scoring debate in the Forums!). It seems we won't be seeing any new material released until the E3 Expo: they're looking to make a big splash with their demo. Here's another snippet:
"As far as the Christmas deadline: IT WILL BE DONE. I say that with the full knowledge of the schedule and project output. We will have a damn good game - completed just in time for your thanksgiving day festivities. Can you think [sic] of a better way to spend your days off than playing Myth 3 online while eating left over turkey sandwiches? I didn't think so."
Christmas deadline? Sounds like Thanksgiving to me :P Seriously though, we here at m.b.o. like the ambitious deadline and continue to look forward to E3 for Myth III, Halo, and hopefully Phoenix (?). Stay tuned...
