Whats DotA 2?


Quote from: DotA2.com on November 19, 2010, 10:31:23 PM
“What is Dota 2?” Dota began as a user-made modification for Warcraft 3 and has grown into one of the most played online games in the world. Following in the tradition of Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, Team Fortress, Portal, and Alien Swarm, Dota 2 is the result of Valve hiring the community developers who built the mod and giving them the chance to finally build a full product out of their idea with the help of a professional team of developers and artists at Valve.


It's just a huge upgrade from DotA. Not only Graphic-wise, but a bunch of new features will be intergrated too. Read the DotA Q & A for more info.

I dont think you got the most important point. It's not an upgrade or whatever. ITS A BRAND NEW GAME with the same DotA type gameplay.

A brand new game maybe, but it still carries the name DotA 2 so me calling it "a huge uprgade from DotA" is not technically wrong :D

It's 'technically' wrong. Since it's a new game :P

And it's not DotA (Defense of the Ancients) 2, it's just DOTA2. Valve couldn't copyright the name.

There were a few around the interwebz. The copyright issues apparently happened about a month before the game was announced, so many people weren't aware of it.

Check the Machinima vid I posted.

I am not a lawyer, so I do not know much about the legal underpinnings behind this game. I do know that we are using the name DOTA and not DotA or Defense of the Ancients because of any potential legal trouble though.

Incase people dont read the entire thread :D
