DOTA 2 once again has a dedicated cooperative mode. It's also once again, limited in time. Available for purchasers of the 2017 International Battle Pass, it's called Siltbreaker, and we took it's four player co-op goodness for a ride the other night.
Fans of DOTA 2, but not all that intense PvP action, will have an opportunity this summer to play a different kind of DOTA. Anyone who buys the "The International 2017 Battle Pass," an annual item that not only adds to the reward money on the line at the big event but also provides in-game rewards to players, will get access to the new co-op campaign called "Siltbreaker."
DOTA 2 has gotten another co-op mode and this one is a bit more official and closer to our definition of co-op. While the game has always had a comp-stomp style of cooperative play allowing you to practice against bots with friends, the new mode is a survival style map where five players work together to defend the Skeleton King from enemy onslaught.
DOTA 2 is getting its biggest update since coming out of beta today. Dubbed "First Blood" the update contains gameplay, UI, graphical, and several other enhancements - including an offline mode for LAN play. The free update also nerfs a few abilities which were "abused" during the recent world championships.
Continuing our Free-to-Play week, Locke and Tally take a look at DOTA 2. While there’s a lot to say about the game, we’ll be focusing on the co-op experience as well as how Valve monetizes the game. ...
It may be competitive, but if you want to avoid all the n00b talk, you'll want to practice up in DOTA 2's co-op mode. Here's the skinny.
For the past several weeks, I’ve been dabbling in Dota 2. It’s one of those RTS/action games where you take control of a hero unit and defend your base from the opposing team. Though the focus of these games is usually competitive, Dota 2 supports a pretty good co-op mode (probably the best I’ve seen for the genre). Any number of players can form up on a team, fill up the remaining slots with bots, and go up against an all-bot team in good, old-fashioned comp-stomp. The bots are available in five different difficulty levels, so it’s easy to tweak the experience based on whether the players are new to the game or experienced. Of late, I’ve found the co-op mode a great way to blow off some steam.
