Heroes of Newerth (HoN) is an upcoming online strategy games developed by the US-based S2 Games. Fans might remember their older titles - Savage and Savage 2, which combined FPS and RTS into action-packed games. However, HoN is a totally different beast altogether, as it is heavily based on a very popular Warcraft 3 mod called Defense of The Ancients.

Topic: "Why you want the closed beta keys so bad?"

DotA-like gaming style? Cool! DotA in Warcraft III is already that attractive. I could not imagine how it would be like in this game. And I'm getting tired of Warcraft III too.. It's time to move on, right?

To those who are fans of dota.

U might not enjoy this the original is best. Some changes are great. Some are awful
