<p>Unless you have been living under a rock for the past 5 years you would have heard of the famous Warcraft 3 mod, Defense of the Ancients or more commonly known as DoTa. The modification that spawned out of existence by the mysterious developer ‘IceFrog’ grew to global over the past 3 years and now ranked as one of the most popular games in the world. <span> </span>The only thing that held DoTa back was its prehistoric Wacraft 3 game engine and Blizzards push to World of Warcraft left the DoTa community forced to fend for themselves.</p>
<p>Though this my friends, is all about to change. Indy developers, S2 Games have unleashed their own replica of the epic mod and free’d the game of dota from its shackles. The game titled, Hero’s of Newerth is a near perfect upgrade, following gameplay & mechanics down to the finest detail, <span class="il">HoN</span> breathes a breath of fresh graphics into the old modification. <span> </span>Much like how Counter Strike 1.6 was updated to Counter Strike : Source, <span class="il">HoN</span> will drive Dota back into the mainstream gaming scene.</p>

<p>Now this isn’t the first time somebody has tried to replicate DoTa, DemiGod, League of Legends and many more all have attempted it, yet with the popularity of <span class="il">HoN</span>’s beta and the thumbs up from the best of the best, <span class="il">HoN</span> could be just what the doctor ordered for dota fans around the world.

I hope to god they dot have a single player campaign mode. The only thing that would do is allow them to charge full retail when the game is eventually sold. The ability to play bots/A.I would be ok though. |

does this bloke write for mX newspaper?? i seen the exact same article in it less then a week ago. HoN is still in early stages and if they start listening to the community like IceFrog does then it will be fine. It will never be the same as dota but can rival it heavily. add me in-game leroyjamez or kingjamez |
