A STEAM Powered DOTA 2

It has always been a rumored that IceFrog would emerge on Valve's open-source world, and confirms that DOTA 2 will continue on the way that mod cstrike on the half-life engine that ended up one of the most played games of all-time even thou the formula stayed the same and slowly evolved as world-based sport on the WCG and tournaments worldwide.

They said IceFrog has turn to continue the legacy making it in StarCraft 2, so I heard it now to be wrong, I only heard that he just help Valve on the next step to create the perfect DotA inspired game but now it seems that DotA is taking a leap of faith and very good one indeed, Valve has created a line-up of FPS that no one has ever competed with and still rains supreme until now, with titles like Left4Dead, Half-life 2, Counter-Strike Source, Team Fortress 2 and many more mods. This leap of faith just got Wings and a Halo!

IceFrog was hired on the spot when he dropped by Valve Studios, instead of Valves team asking tips the head of the team and Director for the game, they hired IceFrog on the spot which was kinda a bit odd, but maybe a bold move, to keep the tradition running and making it more better. Like Counter-Strike: Source which has been voted the No.1 Online Action Game in the world prior to it being and FPS(First Person Shooter), it still drives fans and gamers to come back cause it always had the core fundamentals in gaming, it never change to good things but made it better.

This time you will still greet the present roster that is in the original DotA Allstars will still be back in the sequel DotA 2, so do not fret and because you will still see them again maybe even better than ever. Sources say that the game will still be the same 3 lane madness with different environments like a setting in snow covered lands, a barren wasteland, scourge earth, that is still to be confirmed, and maybe new map mechanics that we might see! So still to early to say but the release states to be Q4 of 2011 or maybe even earlier!

So Valve and Steam has another roster in there hands that might evolve in time into a much more better game than its predecessor, and might yet become the next biggest addition to its roster into the Valve line-up Counter-Strike already rained supreme, Half-life and Half-life 2 still is the best in the series and still a step ahead on any competition in their engine, Left 4 Dead change the very definition of FPS team play, and the variety of open-source mods and games are to be mentioned that still gathers more and more gamers to turn on the PC cause of the running one of the best gaming communities imagined (STEAM Powered).

In sheer honesty to the gamers out there who are reading this IceFrog has made a bold move but move is maybe for the better, gaming communities are so sublime when it comes to player-to-player interactions whether its in the forums or in-game, whether if its BATTLE.NET or the STEAM community, they have much to offer but the STEAM Community has more to offer than Battle.net can, its has a wide-variety of communities with a wide-variety of different games with a lot of different gamers, Valve is also the one that developed STEAM, 7 years running and still getting stronger!
