'''Dota 2''' a [[multiplayer]] [[action]] [[RTS]] game developed and published by [[Valve Corporation]] in [[2012]] for [[Windows]]. It is more precisely the main example of a new type of game: the [[MOBA]], the Mobile Online Battle Arena. It is a indirect sequel to the original [[Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne/DotA Allstars|Defense of the Ancients]] (DotA) mod of [[Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne]]. It is developed by Valve as a stand-alone game with help from IceFrog, who is the most recent developer for the original DotA. Even though it's a sequel, most of the mechanics are taken straight from DotA. | '''Dota 2''' a [[multiplayer]] [[action]] [[RTS]] game developed and published by [[Valve Corporation]] in [[2012]] for [[Windows]].
