Every time I see Valve in a post, I think that very thing. Including this time before I even read your comment.

When Episode 3 comes out, it had better be the best f*cking game I have ever played.

Or bitches will die.

Valves "Dota 2" is not an acronym. They aren't allowed to use the acronym, so they decided to try and create a formal noun out of the old DotA name shortening. This usage doesn't sit well with the competition and will make an interesting fight as it gets closer to release.

Every time Episode 3 gets close to completion, Gabe Newell spills his lunch on the hard drives containing the game files.

I thought everyone already knew; Valve DOES NOT LIKE THE NUMBER 3!!!

-We are never going to get Half Life 3 or Half Life 2: Ep. 3
-We are never going to get a Portal 3
-We are never going to see a Dota 3
-We are never going to get a Left 4 Dead 3
-We are never going to get a Team Fortress 3

Though We Might See a Counter Strike 2 and/or Day of Defeat 2..or another mod Valve decides to buy >.>

Just cause its three, doesnt mean they'd have to use it in the title.

"Left 4 dead: All Over"

See. No three. >_>

Left 4 Dead 3 will release before Episode 3. Same goes for Portal 3. A sad day for gaming.

I really don't understand how Valve can publish this since it is NOT really their game. Blizzard should be publishing and releasing this.

Sure it's a mod of a 10-year old game and the 'mod creator' (if he can be called that) is involved. But it's like taking Super Mario Crossover (great game BTW) and changing the title and changing it around to avoid a lawsuit.

Even then, it just doesn't make sense to me. If Valve wanted to do a RTS game, then why they just make their own and not use some douchebag and his 'stolen' game.

Blizzard could have published it, but Valve got the developers, so why would they bother? It's really no big deal, Team Fortress was a Quake mod, but people sure seem to enjoy the non-Quake based sequel

I don't see how this can compete w/ League of Legends. It's already got an impressive community, a great head start, and it doesn't cost anything.

Also it was developed by original dota team members not some johnny-come lately fanboy.

@jrhawk42 Except that DotA2 has Icefrog as a dev, who made DotA what it is today. The devs from LoL weren't very great with balancing out heroes in DotA, before Icefrog taking over.

LoL is kiddie DotA. You can't even deny creeps in that game.

It's actually still quite competitive. You'll find it being played at LAN parties along side Starcraft, Street Fighter, and Marvel vs. Capcom.

Pretty much.
Everything I've read about Dota 2 says it will remain true to the original hyper-competitive nature of the genre.
