Defence of the Ancients pits two teams of five players against each other in highly competitive, 40-minute or longer matches. Each player controls a single hero who levels up and stockpiles gold to purchase powerful equipment and consumables. As computer-controlled armies continually spawn and rush the enemy's base, players are responsible for using their powerful heroes to turn the tide of the battle in their favor.

22 comments by Maxen1416 on Jun 27th, 2012

The Source Filmmaker (SFM) is the movie-making tool built and used by the staff at Valve to make movies inside the Source game engine. Because the SFM uses the same assets as the game, anything that exists in the game can be used in the movie, and vice versa. By utilizing the hardware rendering power of a modern gaming PC, the SFM allows storytellers to work in a what-you-see-is-what-you-get environment so they can iterate in the context of what it will feel like for the final audience.

To celebrate the announcement of the SFM, They've also released "Meet the Pyro", the ninth installment in the "Meet the Team" series. Like all of Their animated shorts, They made it using the SFM.

If you're interested in making movies and games in parallel, sign up for an SFM beta key and start shooting your movie on location inside the world of TF2 today.

Let's face it. Not that Dota 2 is bad or anything, in fact it's quite good, but League is better in this category. I do like the Source Engine flexibility though.

Let's face it. People have things called subjective opinions. You have yours, we have ours.
Here is mine: I played LoL before I got my Dota invite. Never going back.

Whats all the trolling about? DOTA was amazing, and if improved should be even better, especially with Valve working on it, although they dont have much experience in this style of game, and Dota was a map made by a player, not by blizzard, so now they even have icefrog who IS the creator, they can use DOTA. Also i like LoL and HoN, both great DOTA replicas but this should be amazing.
