Heroes of Newerth Open Beta Begins
by Alice O'Connor, Apr 01, 2010 6:46am PDTS2 Games' Defense of the Ancients-inspired RTS-RPG Heroes of Newerth has entered open beta, as promised and you can get the Windows, Mac and Linux clients from your friendly neighbourhood FileShack before registering.
Like its inspiration--the Warcraft III mod DotA, whose current developer is now at Valve--Heroes of Newerth revolves around two teams of heroes trying to kill each other off amidst an endless battle between NPC armies to ultimately destroy the other's base.
Being in its own tailor-made engine allows HoN to offer several advantages over DotA, including voice communication, matchmaking, rankings and reconnection support.
A release date has yet to be announced but Heroes of Newerth can be pre-ordered now from S2 Games for $30.

Heroes of Newerth = Expanded upon all the bad elements of Dota.
League of Legends = Expanded upon all the good elements of Dota.
I just really cant stand HoN, its very disorganized and the pacing is terrible. I mean, they really couldn't have made a better minimap then the war3 one, come on now.
