I heard there was a new Might and Magic game coming out, but never read much about it. I just assumed it would be your typical RPG, or perhaps an Oblivion style remake. Seems I was completely wrong.

It uses the same engine as Halflife 2, and is much mroe action oriented. Sort of a FPS but with swords and magic and bows.

The really cool sounding part is the multiplayer aspect, they compared it to Battlefield 2 style, where your classes/kits are assassin, warrior, mage, priest and archer.

September is the launch date, but might be fun for a bit.
This talks about the game in general, mostly single player info:

and this has more talk about the multiplayer aspect:

The Might and Magic franchise certainly helped push me down the computer gaming path. I played the first 3 and that series definitely will be picking this up.
