The vital change in DotA 2 is that it will run on Valve's Source Engine which will remove all the Warcraft 3 limitations. All the heroes, items, terrain, buildings will be ported same as in current version of DotA. Anyone who plays Warcraft 3 - Dota will instantly recognize DotA 2. However, there are still some things which are new in DotA 2.
Following are some features Valve introduced about incoming DotA 2:
In-game Voice Chat:
DotA 2 will have integrated voice chat feature which will allow players to communicate during game without using 3rd party software.
Leaver AI replacement:
Disconnected players will be replaced by AI bots which will take control over the hero. It will be available in unranked matches.
Heroes Voice:
DotA 2 will feature new voice work. You'll get amusing lines from heroes as they deny the enemy team last hits on creeps, and champions who have backstory connections will trade quips when nearby.
Rewards & Matchmaking System:
Valve is using it's traditional Steamworks as a matchmaking & community rewards system which will allow you to create in-game rewards for participating in community forums.
Coaching & Training System:
Once again, Valve is coming with a great innovation of coaching system which will be used to train a beginner to learn DotA 2 to sustain a respectable position in the community. It will allow veteran players to login as a coach. Coach can see beginner's screen and can get private voice chat during the game.
It is indeed a revolutionary & surprise step taken by Valve by entering in the world of MMO-RTS games with the help of IceFrog. Finally, DotA Fans had some relief after hearing some of the features of the upcoming DotA 2. The upgraded heroes are still looking remarkable in the images. It's good that Valve DotA 2 team revealed something but fans will still consider it as a drop in a ocean that IceFrog still refused to disclose his name in the community.
Stay tuned for the further updates, DotA-Utilities will be your final stop for all the news & updates for DotA 2.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 681 Newer› Newest»hon is greater than dota.. but many people dont play hon coz them have to pay for it.. n of course dota 2 same like hon.. many people will play dota even dota 2 is release.. so icefrog i hope u continue making a new map juz like before n release it to public... dont stop ur work that u have done for long time ago.. my english is suck.. so s1 can correct it if me wrong.. also if i got a wrong information.. i appreciate it... =princ3mo=
this game will so outragious ! hahaha
2 reasons of DotA's Success
1. Its a very amazing game
2. Its free to play
There is a high possibility that DotA 2 will be an amazing game. Even it's as amazing as DotA, DotA 2 will not be that successful if its not free to play.
MAKE THIS GAME FREE TO PLAY ! ! !
boom ! ! (by 3B of Batch 19 ParSci)
the last picture is not magina u dumb he is bloodseeker(strygwyr)
will it still be on war3 the frozen throne?
ICFROG ROCKS!!
Lina is literally hot because of the fire on her head! LOL
korny dota 2 its the same like HON korny dota so much
This looks like HON
VOICE CHAT = ULTIMATE TRASHTALK! :| i like the old designs of the heroes better, but the graphics are awesome!
I don't want the heroes to look good. My computer won't be able to handle the awesome that radiates from this game!
i think it won't be free at the begging...
but don't worry....after 50 years it will be free....
ftw...HAPPY?
if have leaver protection like hon sure awesome!!!
leaver fcker!!!
This iz gr8!! I have seen how HoN sucks!! Hope DotA 2 can bring down HoN!! Can't wait for that!!
Hope that DotA 2 has sth. to block cheating and map-hacking.
P.S: Lina seems to be too old?! That's suck. I prefer DotA1 Lina... And Bloodseeker is much like a Str. hero, since he's too muscle... But Morphling and Traxex is cool!!
i cant wait for dota 2
wadda hell.. whats this, you have to pay so that you can play just like HON, amfness. IceFrog can you just make it free game please. so taht many people will play this game im sure this will have % star rating in game thats for sure!
IceFrog to Valve? Valve if for FPS games like Counter Strike , Half life,etc......... ^_^
dROw rangEr is Hot than Lina!
Voice chat ? FTW?! yehey
but is still don't like the AI replacement thing :|
oh yeah. can't wait ^_^
If you need to pay to play this game, I believe that all Asian will still play the old DoTA
keep on impersonating heroes of newerths system!!
nice!nice!nice!
i can't wait to play this game,, i need an exact date of the release of this,, wooo!! sounds nice!!
Valve can you do that DOTA2 is free....?
The last pic is Bloodseeker.... Hope DOTA 2 Is free... Don't have money to buy... Wew...
wow a really amazing dota
version what a really great inovation
in the gameplay
hmm let me get this... RTS Games:
Aeon of Strife (AoS)= Blizzard Starcraft
Defence of the Ancients (DotA) = Blizzard Warcraft 3
Demi God = Gas Powered Games
Bloodline Champions = Bumblebee Studios
Heroes of Newerth (HoN) = S2 games
League of Legends (LoL) = Riot Games
DotA 2 = Valve + IceFrog
Blizzard DotA = Blizzard Starcraft 2
Avalon Heroes = Alaplaya
Land Of Chaos Online (LOCO) = Alaplaya
so many games what do u think??? xD
Last blood..!!!
Cool game I downloaded its demo.
HoN sucks DoTA 2 ruless
whos with me ^___^
oh icefrog please put a mission and movie of every hero in dota 2 im so excited for dota2 tnx icefrog 4 cr8ing dota
can't wait for this to be released!!!!
first blood!
I HOPE ITS 2011 ALREADY!!! xaxaxa
I hope this game pay once for life per account.
So that there is no games spoiler and leaver.
Cant help. . .
Please launch the game.
hey can someone tell me is this like HoN or much better?...because the changes in HoN is only the graphics...and they made it more challenging with using skills w/out hot keys -_-".. only "Q","W","E","R"..WTF..
voice chat so i can flam noobs nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice2nice2
imba i cant wait to see it
Put some campaign stories for every hero that where did they come from:0
Sounds like Heroes of Newerth will slowly die out once DOTA 2 is released. Can't wait to play it, will be refreshing to finally have a graphics upgrade from DotA and additional features enabled by the source engine!
i cant wait it share the download link when its done
this will be bloody expensive.. xD
well suck i love warcraft!
Traxex looks like hell
NICE !
DOTA 2!
THIS GAME IS GONNA BE GREAT!
I HOPE THEY DON'T CHANGE THE GAMEPLAY AND THE HERO BALANCES.....
ALSO THE ITEMS...
GOOD LUCK TO YOU ICEFROG AND VALVE!
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
zzzzzzzzz
I wonder when they will release the trailer for dota 2...........
this should be interesting
'Holy mother of Jesus'... I want this game so Bad...
Awesome!!
HAHA ! could you make here that RAZOR would have a feet? HAHA
Well,i only hope for it to be different then HoN,and better than hon,other than that this game looks cool =D
Someone said.....
Ill buy this game cause its just cheap
Valve said the game will be released on 2011. :)
From WC3 -> Valve -> TO THE SKY!!!!
DOTA FTW!!!
what happened to lina's elf ears?
Hoping for an LAN option for this game. If this will not have LAN, just like Starcraft II, the game will suck.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
CANT WAIT GUYS !!!
I actually hope that it will be a full price game.
I want a high quality game with longtime support, and for that valve needs and deserves some money.
All that new features are awesome and hey new grafics (with equal feeling) will be nice. And ofc a proper damage detection system ;D
so why do you retards think this game is going to be Free? You Realize Dota wasnt free you, you had to bve the 40-50$ to buy freaking Wc3 so get the idea of dota 2 being free out of your heads because its not going to happen, especially since Valve loves money
No matter how awesome it is it still suck if its not for free
Take exapel from LoL the gaem is Free2play but u haw special options that you haw to pay to haw them, Dota2 could do the same.
shet
look likes
heroes of the newerth
Now youll have to pay to play dota.. I'm against it.. Ofc if it's non online game ill just download pirated and you can kiss my A$$
I want dotaaaaaa 2
[DK]_-Kr31G3r-_
I can't to see the DOTA 2..+_+
hmm... this looks like a copy of HoN
cant wait to try this one!!
wow! cant wait!
i want sexy pic
It's free.................
Wow!!! bloodseeker is cool here!!! Hope the Dota2 will be played in the first month of 2011... Can't wait I'm so excited!!!
qwerty
i think dota 2 will have same login stuffs like HoN... no more pubs and garena...
Will there be a beta version for people to be able to try it out?? if so when??
nise
nice .. i still respect HON and LOL .. HON and LOL Running because icefrog approve for it .. to those haters, why dont you just hate your face ..
whoooo.awesome work!
hope its for free...!!!
if its with money iwont buy it ill just play regular dota on garena
DotA 2 will go BOOM. And it will rule the online gaming society
Congrats to one who make dota 2.. i cant w8 anymore..Love you all, dota dudes.. muah muah chup chup/////KAIMBAHAN
Ok, everyone's telling "is it FREE?"
does it matter? people will just crack it anyway
and let those who can't buy it play FREE!!!
i love DOTA 2, almost 6 year i played dota, but now at battle.net many player using map hack, and gold cheat. it's very unfair for us..
hope DOTA 2 have a strong anti cheat.
go for it developers, i love u all....
i did not play HON. why? you have to memorize the skills and item recipes all over again. i hope dota 2 only improved graphics and disconnection issues and retained the items and game play.
THAT's IMBA!!!
This is fantastic! Really Cool graphics....replacement feature....voice chat...and TONS of other new cool stuff!
This is what the best game needs!
Dont care about DOTA 2... If its not free IceFrog will Create a DOTA 2 MAP on War3 Blizzard Best!!
its gonna be a fuccckin evolution big big evolution
would you be loyal to keep the basic warcraft idea like:
1. lina inverse is blood elf and traxex is night elf so they must had a long ears like their race body anatomy
2. there are races in warcraft like human orc, troll, night elf, blood elf, undead, tauren. i want to see bloodseeker is a green orc wearing whatever costume u may customize and not a human skined
3. would be nice if rhasta an vol'jin still wearing primitive armor and costume and don't make it use an elegant dressing like modern civilized race. because the races had their own civilization. it's make dota rich of background story u can imagine
4. and everything else. if u play world of warcraft u will see what i'm trying to tell
looking forward for this dota 2 ... keep up the good work
JUst pls dont make it for paying liek the shitty game hon this ones gonna brake the hons record and post it for download :D First blood once again :D
this is looking like HoN but graphic is good
can't wait to have dota 2.. is that free? hehehe
it's awesome! ,it's kinda mind blasting season! i'm so excited! ^^
I think it would be cool when u pwn an enemy that he falls randomly like in the UT3.Suppose that would require a special engine :P.Anyway can't w8 :D!
Wow!!! Defense of the Ancients Allstars 2... can't wait!!! There should be new battlefields added for new experience!!!
Exited po
Is dota 2 will be free 2 play of need 2 pay??
Sound very nice!I hope no more Hackers with "map hack" or "custom kick" so it can be a fair play game!!! F**k Hackers they ruin the game.
cool stuff!
How are made this DOTA 2 Gago......ka
If people can't pay for DotA 2, how did they pay for WC3? I doubt they simply can't afford it, it'll probably be $30 US dollars.
Icefrog was not the original maker of DotA - it was Eul. This should be called DotA Allstars 2.
how i see video?
@the guy above me ^ (4:52AM comment)
it WILL receive constant updates, as constant as DotA has because IceFrog will develop it :D!
The gameplay is meant to be exactly the same as DotA because they dont want to make a game, they want to improve a game :) and they also added a looooot of fixes for every single detail in the old dota and dota platform ^^
Something else that is going to kick the shit out of me is the matching and ranking system, imagine playing DotA without leavers and feeders and noobshit!!!!! =D!!!!
I will be waiting for pirated version of dota 2 XD
A very nice idea, Noob-friendly coaching O_o
name of icefrog?
if nobody cant afford the game, there will always be a way for the game to be free... *cough* google for some hacked versions....
NicE!!!
its ok for me because its just lik HON or LOL thou it is easy to start because same dota heroes and items
is that rexaer??
voice chat ? i dun wan voice chat with stranger LOL >.<
When will someone finnaly make a dota clone that plays from a 1st or 3rd PERSON PERSPECTIVE??? Being a savage 2 fan, when I heard that the same guys are making a dota clone (HON), I was so excited and was hoping that they would implement the dota system into the savage 2 gameplay. But no, they had to stick with the rts camera... Then League of legends, rts camera. Now dota 2, still rts camera. What is going on? Am i the only one that sees the awesomness of a 3rd person dota???? I wanna be able to sneak up on someone without beaing rikimaru or gondar. I wanna be able to dodge aoe effects by sidesteping. I wanna aim for every shot i take with a ranged hero. 3rd PERSON DOTA!!!
DOTA WILL STILL BE BETTER... DOTA 2 WILL BE JUST LIKE HON AND LOL... ALL GRAPHICS AND IBMANESS BUT BARELY ANY STRATEGY LIKE THE REAL ORIGINAL DOTA... I MEAN SERIOUSLY, "AMUSING LINES"?? WTF!? THIS GAME MAY BE FRICKIN COOL AND HAVE AWESOME GRAPICS AND ALL BUT STILL.. DOTA IS MORE STRATEGIC, ORIGINAL, AND THE GAMEPLAY IS WAAYYYY BETTER THERE... AND PLUS, EVERYONE IS USED TO DOTA..
erm..im not really excited about Dota 2 is coming out becouse Dota 1 (WC3) is already perfect...
is that the bloodseeker? i dont think so bloodseeker is a pigsy!! :)
Oh.... i waiting this game till im die!
OMG!
can you tell the SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS?
dota 2 3D?
dota 2 great..
if it hav to pay i rather support the lastest dota although din update anymore but i belief icefrog wont be tat cruel....he will make dota for us for free forever..
VOICE CHAT!!!!

Voice Chat is bad :3
Since chinese would just spam those voice chats in Asia here ~_~
valve sucks
Dota 2 Pwned HON
after some time it will be free on torrents -.-
GOOD NEWS now it support higher resolution!
Could you please tell us after you have released DOTA 2.. its system requirements??? In order for us to be informed on what system we could play on it...
REGARDING WITH THE GAME... hope you might consider fixing bugs also... THANK YOU...
can't wait!!!!! how about the application. is it still use warcraft 3 or new application? and the hero will be new or still same but different model???? when it is release????
is it has ai mode for training or practice?????
I hope it remains as cool as we play in Warcraft III.
Cool, Simple, Light, Soft, Balance, Exciting.
I hope it is free.
I hope Ice-Frog make more maps for warcraft after releaseing DotA II.
But ITS NICE ... :)
KV
AWESOME !! VOICE CHAT !!! WTF !!
i hope the old dota mood will be preserved, its just not the same in dota-like games
boring;/
nice!
plz work to it quickly!
maybe they will put it in Garena.. Coz left4Dead was a valve game too right??
As nice as this sounds, I don't want the Warcraft III DotA community to be gone though, hope that they'll be playing both games at once to balance it out, because you know what they usually say -- the original is still the best.
nice work icefrog 2 thumbs up for you
people should not clebrate or get to happy mybe this dota2 is not free
Ohh boy ..
Look at the morphling image ..
so cool, it's giving me goosebump lol
Cant Wait. . . HAHA! looks Great! :)))
in steam this game will be realesed
hehe can i download?
this game is boring
i think in the future they dun play dota 1 any more !!!???
Its just like (HON) Heroes Of Newerth
Lina is bold, .... RECONNECTION FOREVER, AIs ARE CRAP
no map hack... in this game? hahaha
no more garena..
if dota is not free..we will still play dota 1..
HOTTER CHICKS! HAHA!
COACHING SYSTEM AND AI-REPLACEMENTS ARE COOL!
HAHA!
hahaha! lol.. please hurry .. show it to us
i think dota 2 will improve the graphis like in HON, anyway can't wait to play this
If dota 2 is not free then whats the difrence between dota2 an hon? id rather play hon coz it has reconecting and other stuff...
1. Will Dota 2 be free?
Absolutely not. Its produced by Valve, which will make the tag around 30$. Btw, dota is not free. You have to buy Warcraft III. The people screaming for free 2 play really need to get a job. This is absolutely pathetic. 30$ is what you should be carrying around in your pocket. Grow up honestly. Stop having unrealistic hopes and arrogant demands.
2. I hope it won't be like hon. HoN Blows!
Icefrog worked on HoN, or so do many sources say. Btw, HoN isnt even bad (personal experience) and the majority of the people who shit on this game have not even given it a chance. I am myself a convert. GG. LoL is similarly a fun game, though no where near the same caliber of "gaming" community.
3. Voice chat is a bad idea?
This is a wtf moment. WTF? How? Explain...
4. I'd rather have reconnect than AI when players leave.
There is reconnect. Calm down.
5. THIS IS A CHEAP COPY LIKE HON AND LOL.
Cool story? Don't like it...don't purchase it. Is that hard to understand? No one is forcing this on you. This isn't Obama's health care plan.
Bottom of the line, It will be a polished game similarly to HoN (to all of those kids who have not even tried it will actually love it, though will never admit that DotA 2 is similar to HoN). It will NOT be free. EVEN if it is, there wont be any money to continue updating it and run Multiple servers. Just think about it. No money = terrible service. We all lose.
what a cool hero damn i cnt wait>>>
wow...!I hope I can play it faster
I need to test dota 2 now!! I need to feel the experience!! And I hope it wont be free, becouse if it is, they wont have any money to invest in the game! to correct upcoming bugs or sth like that...
when will you release DOTA 2? how long dota gamers will wait for this?
OMG THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE IT LONG B4 TIS MAN ....MOST OF THE DOTA FANS HAD ADI SWITCHED TO HON WHICH I HATE :))) GOGOGGO DOTA LIVES!!!
I THINK DOTA 2 WILL RELEASED MID YEAR 2011
=D =D
i wish that DOTA 2 will be free to play....
i wish that dota II will be free to play...
is better good if DOTA is better than HON
Theres retard pple that pay for LoL and HoN. plus who cares if we have to pay always theres a bunch of crackers that make free all the games and probly there will be a "garena" or a hamachi servers for illegal copies so who cares if u buy cool if not cool however we cant say shit abut it we must wait to see it steam isnt that bad and even who cares about it its suppose to have the option to host on their own since pple from asia cant play with mexican pple so its stupid..
However most of pple in here use garena since most of the hacks we download here are for Garena must of all dota players didnt bought wc3 so most of dota2 players wont buy it however hope they do good
lol thats is just fake, guys relax
i saw this arts above 1 years ago
:))))))
omg!!!!
hope its free to play :)
I just wanna buy the game and play it forever, not to mention that 50$ is almost half a million in my country, that kind of game is an original one with many extras.
anyway the fact that 90% of shit are kids is true between 13 to 20's. and most of the Junior high school 'er still need their parents's slip in order to buy the crap, but don't you think that the parents will just let them buy the DVDs, do they say "hey boy, you wanna this game?? if you dying for it, take whatever you want"....huh, my parents would rather says "you can have it but you have to find another place to live !!, don't make shit on me! do you really think that you can just harvest some green papers from trees!!(that's my mom) go and ***k your school!!". how would you like that!?
Besides if you wanna high graphics with low specification, then go to your bed have ma*******ed while dreamin' that ur old scrap can run a shit that can only be played on super computer (L384Y). if you don't like 'tis, go and find some upgrade for ur computer. i did it to my 10-years old scrap of metal and could still play a shit that required 1024 shits of Video memmory (with some tricks of course ;]) for 12 hours and exploded in midnight right in front of my eyes..huh..of course not u id10t.
what are those ppl tought about?? i'm still don't undrstnd. you Pro and con comments just confusing whether DotA 2 gonna be good or shit, but I really appriciates of what Eul's, guinsoo and ice frog did for Warcraft. that's why we should leave our comments after feel the game itself...but i may not be able to feel the game for several years ahead and since all my games is a "copy", it'll takes - once again - years for me.
(sigh) wew, i could have been invited to a seminar for this long shit...
best regard
DotA's old newbie
Hey about the guys that said they've played DotA for thousands of hours forgot to mention how many times they were being rushed into hospital for immediate treatment..../gg.
HEHEHEHEHHE....
Can't Wait to release it!
its boring
dota is dota can't be changed :)
Hope there will be 50 new heroes added, cool...
hoping that....dota-utilities will make this game for free .....NO! They Must^^
