No,TF2 is more like a fusion of Quake/UT gameplay and Battlefield classes, with some other innovations in it.

It has nothing to do with DoTa.

i think he is linking the hats and level item from tf2 with the item build and leveling in dota

Hats and items in TF2 are completely different from leveling or DotA item.

I know but maybe he say the items and levels of the item than he might have link both together

i think it will be abit like RYL. just that u dont have to grind until lvl 95. u start over again every time from lvl 1 to 25. dont u think so? RYL has got melee and range, and ryl has creeps.

Cheese hates dota *clap* hahah

Cheese hates all kind of mmorpgs

bump since got some fellow dotard gamer asked about this in another thread.

Valve has the tendency of hiring indie developer to their hive so they can milk them to death by churning out those damn addictive 'casual' game like Audiosurf.

Former DotA developers express concern over Valve's DOTA trademark

Last week we reported that Valve has applied for a trademark for "DOTA" suggesting strongly that the long standing rumors of the developer making a Defense of the Ancients game are indeed true. Now a couple of former developers of the popular WarCraft III action-RTS mod have expressed concerns about Valve's actions.

Our sister site Joystiq states that Steve "Pendragon" Mescon and Steve "Guinsoo" Feak, who worked on Dota-All Stars, (and now work at Riot Games on the DotA-inspired title League of Legends) stated that they believes the "DotA name should remain the property of the community at-large, as it always has." Mescon believes that Valve's trademarking of the "DotA" name suggests that the developer is "exercising control over its future."

It should be noted that Valve has yet to even announce a DotA game, much less its plans for the franchise. Also Valve is perhaps one of the most open developers out there, issuing mod tools, supporting mod teams and even releasing free stand alone games such as the recent Alien Swarm.

Huh? Source please (Hehe, pun totally unintended)?

I wasn't aware that he is with Valve now and a quick google search yields nothing.

Also, what other "casual" game developer have they hired? And what "casual" game have they released anyway? (Audiosurf isn't even a Valve release)

i think the correct words to use would be:
"valve hire modders and modders enjoices employment under valve."

"The development of Team Fortress 2 was led by John Cook and Robin Walker, the designers who originally created the Team Fortress modification for Quake in 1996."

Oh yeah, I know perfectly well that's Valve's strategy (Team Fortress 2, Alien Swarm, Portal, Counter-strike, etc) were all the results from hiring modders... I was just wondering how he came to the conclusion that these ppl end up making "casual" games.

So Dota Source is one
Episode 3 is second

Third?

Portal 2?

it'll be DOTA based on the Source Engine. 3rd person etc like Alien Swarm.
