Valve's next game: DotA 2

[rtil]

yep that's right, valve is making a sequel to the popular warcraft 3 mod dota (defense of the ancients), a hero-based team defense game where you are defending your base with your allies, leveling up by killing wave after wave of stronger enemies/creeps with your weapon and abilities.

there will be 100+ heroes to choose from, but only 1 map to play on - basically just like the original but with updated graphics. of course, it will probably integrate in a number of ways with steam.

icefrog, the guy that developed the original, is working on it. it comes out sometime next year

GOODNEEEEWS FOR MEEEE

The people who made DotA also made League of Legends (also a DotA game, a free one though)

not sure if DotA2 will be free or not but uhh

what does valve have to do with DotA, shouldn't it be Blizzard?

[rtil]

well you'd think that but i guess not. i doubt dota 2 will be free. and i'm not sure why they're making it considering LoL is free

[MarcK]

I love these games so I'll check it out

wow valve is kinda branching into new territory by making an RTS. i don't think they've ever done that.

Oh thank you scrib I was just about to post that.

[rtil]

wouldn't surprise me at all if a guy who has devoted the last 10 years of his life to modding wc3 was a socially dysfunctional, pock marked dickhead. the game will be popular with or without him

I never really liked DOTA in the first place, but I feel like Valve doing this game is sorta wrong. The game was meant to be a wc3 mod, and while its awesome that its gonna be made into a stand alone game someone like valve doing it doesnt really feel right.

welp more money for valve to keep producing hl3 like we know they have been hard at work on
