If you are player or a fan of Icefrog's DOTA, then you might already heard that Icefrog have been working with Valve to develop a game that probably would have been similar or probably same gameplay as DOTA as it was said to be inspired from it. Surely, the player models will be changed because currently DOTA is using the models of Warcraft for most heroes. I think only Apparition and Enigma are currently custom models. But anyway, as I check the website of Valve, I notice that most of their games are First Person Shooters/View. So as the models from Warcraft to Valve changes, I started thinking that this game could be the first ever game of Valve that wouldn't be a First Person Shooter or can you even imagine that Icefrog would adapt to Valve's games and develop DOTA as a First Person Shooter? It's kind of funny but it's still a possibility right? Because we also have lots of games in First Person Shooter/View that can also cast spells and do melee attacks. So what do you think about it and how do you think they will name it? Will it really be DOTA 2? -)

DotA 2? Haven't heard of that yet, the latest version i know was still at 6.71. Heroes of Newerth has the same concept as DotA but with enhanced graphics and higher system requirements for the game to run. But HoN was only for LAN game as of now, I haven't found an AI version.

well i have heard of this, but really havent seen any additional information about it.
the original article in summary says that icefrog is working with valve to work with something called dota 2 which can be anything i suppose.

I think the name will still revolve on the name DOTA, it could be VDOTA, or Valve Defence of the Altar. If it is a first person view game, it will be hard to play, on my opinion, this will be the first third person view that valve will be creating. If it is a first person view, it will become an adventure game, where in every hero have a storyline. That will be cool because of some many heroes to choose and many storyline to see.

Just so you know it is not defense of the altars, it is defense of the ancients. And DOTA 2 will just be DOTA with upgraded engine, graphics, and features for online play.
