[quote=The Spy]Since Mozambique in '63, The Spy can't watch two processions of troops marching endlessly into a giant bloodbath without feeling a Pavlovian twinge where his mandibular arch used to be. Bad news for the Spy then. The human shadow they call IceFrog, who has been developing the custom Warcraft III scenario Defense Of The Ancient since 2005, has just been hired by Valve. The Spy knows only too well that DotA casts players as RPG heroes on a battlefield where streams of AI troops perpetually clash.
The most intriguing detail of this shady acquisition - announced by IceFrog and since confirmed by Valve - is that the refrigerated amphibian is already 'leading a team' at the Bellevue developer. The Spy's time cyberstalking the nocturnal activities of Valve employees has uncovered many closet DotA fans in their ranks, so IceFrog's appointment almost certainly signifies a game of the same format in production. The man himself states his objective there is to "solve the surrounding issues that affect the DotA experience in order to allow it to reach new heights".[/quote]
Source is PCGamer UK, Issue 208.
Sooo, looks like we're getting a Valve-themed DotA clone soon. Vortigaunts vs. Antlions?
Rebels vs Metrocops is my bet.
This is said by the spy, possibly tf2 themed?

It's from PCGamer, The Spy is like their rumors/industry insiders section.
I wonder what he wants there, Valve is focusing only on FPS style games, IceFrog doesn't have much experience with FPS games.
he could just make a RTS based on the Half life universe called the 7 hour war or something
then have some cool version of shitty dota for multiplayer where both sides spam npc controlled squads while players controll importiant people
Hooray, just what the world needs: Moar DoTA. [/sarcasm]
TF2 DOTI: Defence of the intelligence
Maybe this has something to do with the new tf2 sound files?
ouch, lates. Can someone link to the thread where this was previously posted, please? :smile:
I bet this guy is working on the new TF2 gamemode.

Valve doesn't 'focus' on one thing. They do what they want to do and are not tied down in anyway.
dota was awesome but it happend just like CS
the game is fucking awesome but the community is trash
ive been playing dota since you could pick the heroes with a wisp, were good times
Get out of my game, DOTA.
Of all the people they could hire...
