While I love Halo, Myth and its community used to be really great... I miss the old days of the Grave Demo...
Playmyth.net is all M2 guys, rarely now do a see a M3 game. We play once in a while
in a lan party group and the odd M3 playmyth.net game, but man it died a horrible, unsightly, public death...

Can you make us the Myth 4 we so long for? Please? Ill even wait 6 months or a year more for the OSX version... ;-) ;-(

PS - If its in the works & you need an OSX beta tester, hell Ill even buy an Xbox for it... ;-)

Unfortunately, Bungie no longer has the rights to the Myth series. Take 2 got it, along with Oni, as part of the Microsoft's Acquisition™ of Bungie: Take 2 had owned 20% of Bungie, so when Bungie was bought out, they got Myth and Oni. Sad but true.

With Microsoft backing them up, I’m sure Bungie could just buy back the rights, if they wanted to. I mean, what the hell is Take Two doing with them?

Myth is the only game of its genre worth playing, and I personally think it is the greatest of Bungie's game. If Bungie made a new game in the same style as Myth, I would be so happy I would construct a totem to them out of obsidian, and I'd sacrifice Warcraft fanbois beneath its shiny black mass.

We cant forget the 7 men in trenchcoats, and the ninjas. They can be very... persuasive.

An RTT like Myth wouldn't work on an XBOX. The controller just wouldn't cut it. You definately need a keyboard to use the camera to the fullest extent, and a mouse for precise unit movement.

With M$'s greed, they probably wont let Bungie make PC/Mac games for a long while.

Actually, I think a Myth-style RTS could be controlled fairly well on the 'box controller if done right. Hell, they said you couldn't play FPS's worth a damn on one, so why not an RTS?

And as much as I love Myth, surely Bungie is not so exausted creatively that they couldn't create another amazing franchise?

Good stuff, glad to see some others that think they need to take it back from take two... They dropped
myth like a.... I applaud the comminity to try & hold it together, a lot of guys put in thier own time to
help keep what little is left of it. M3 looks so much better then M2, yet it has almost no players...

Even M2 has turned into 2 team WW2 rank whore central... FFA is where its at, it has the action
of a first person shooter but at the same time takes more skill & planning to win or do well. 2 team
games are fun sometimes, but not with the abuse from psycho young turds that have no people skills...

Ill help with the obsidian tower if you start making one, I would devote my own time & possibly some
money to get a "mythlike" game from Bungie.

To some extent your right that a controller might not be the best for a game like myth, but there
could be a work around, or new input device. I think Xbox would support a game like myth, but I would really like to see a MAC/PC version with some marketing & hype behind it. If it takes an Xbox version first, so be it...!!!

Post snipped by Moderator.

Maybe a banning will be more to your liking.

Myth was great. I'd still rather have a Marathon sequel though.

I see no mention of an mmorpg in this entire thread.

I have, sadly, never played Myth... *sobs*

Please, please go play it. It's easily one of the best games ever made, and just talking about it makes my eyes begin to water, since I don't think Bungie will ever pick it up again :( (I have the greatest memories of playing it with my brother and my cousin until like 3 in the morning though :)

Heh. The mention of Trow in your sig Rabican reminded me of the level in Myth 2 where you have the trow and the mortar dwarves and are attacking the castle east of the mountains while enemy mortars fire at you. Can't remember the name of any of the places right now. It has been a long time.

I made a modification to that once where you each person got a berserk that had like no health but moved really fast and to win you had to get past the wall, and the mortars were like on crack and fired non-stop.

Man I had fun with that one.

I'd really like another innovative take on the strategy game genre from Bungie. Myth/Myth2 stand, to this day, as my favorite strategy games ever, not to mention two of my fav. games ever, period.

woohoo @ lt devon!

Don't forget to download the tfl levels so you can play myth 1.

Hmm, if I have the time I might make a thread about that, much like them m1a1 thread that the rip saw posted.

Now if word got around enough of a Myth-like game from Bungie, mb all the Myth players can kind of.... migrate over.....

For the time being I know several people that retired from Myth after this years MWC (myth world championship) and in there little retirement speech said "See you on Halo 2". So mb it can temporairlily house us Myth players until Bungie makes a Myth-like game.
