Defence of the Ancients 2

Week old news but no discussion about it here. Or you just don't care.

Yup, Warcraft III original mod DotA's getting a sequel game by Valve. <-- http://gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/10/13/dota-2-announced-details.aspx

Dunno why, when there are so many other spin-off games already. Some even made by the same people who made the original DotA...

Because none of them are as successful as a single WC3 map and this is going to be a direct translation of that to an engine designed specifically for it???

It's still going to be shit though, this is dota we're talking about.

"I think the interesting thing is us adding a second layer where the community is a service to each other. That's the real shift that we're trying to build here. Valve is going to keep building software around Dota and around the community and around Steamworks for Dota, but we're also going to build this system where the community can bring service to each other and be recognized for it,"

I'm looking forward to what you do with this, Valve.
