General DiscussionOMG NEW SOURCE 2 ( DOTA 2 ) ENGINE IS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE START PLAYING THE REAL DOTA 2 NOW ITS OUT AND FUCKING WORKS WITH NORMAL DOTA 2!!!!!!!

meh, only ppl gonna use that for make league of legends maps.

It's not very optimized though.

Its basically dota 3 (2) with a comeplty new engine. The HL2 engine is what Dota 2 is based on now and it basically Sucks ass.

The new enigine will be Multicore and thread and have 64 bit with loading times no more than seconds instead of minutes.

This is the biggest thing that has happened to gaming since 1995 which is the Shit we are using now!

What does this mean to a guy that uses lowest graphics settings and 768x480 resolution?

welcome to last week.

And it isn't dota "3" at all. Playing dota through the new source 2 engine is a terrible idea until it is optimized.

Alot since this will not only improve High end builds but also change the game in how demanding it will be.

For all the complaints i get about posting reddit stuff.... there have been about 1000 reddit posts about this already...

Hell, some people have already started porting league of legends into source

It has begun.

i dont get it, what is this exactly ?
is it like wc3 editor ?

millions of ppl playing lol because their pcs are to bad for dota2, so at all guys with bad pcs, they wont change the engine, u might can play it in source2 also, but not only.

is it happening? techie update?
edit. seems not

It will make dota 2 a new and better game in a sence that the PROGRAM that runs dota 2 nowadays was made in 95-2004. Instead it will now be Future better and amazing and oh my god i'm at a lack of words for how truly amazing this will be and like I said.

This is the biggest thing that has happened in the last 10 years not only for gaming but for dota 2.

so yes you could and really SHOULD call it dota 3. IN the sence that this is HUGE.

THINK HALF LIFE 3 THINK 3d THINK 4k resolution think OCULUS RIFT VIRTUAL REALITY

You are far too excited for this.

I think this is not a 'source 2' engine, but more like a source 2.0 engine. It prolly the source 1 engine which has been modified and optimized.

i still dont get what difference its gonna make.

can you explain why it is the biggest thing to happen to gaming since yonks ago instead of peeing your pants with excitement? how will it change everything?

I dont get it...... Help meeee

Does downloading it still work from steam? It does not seem to be working for me.

@blunt

Nah, it is source 2.0 beta basically. It is strikingly different from the ground up, and the file/code distribution is very different.
