    One day, some random nerd made DotA, and now I, another random nerd present.
    DotA....Halo Style.
    This map is bases of the game Defense of the ancients or DotA that was made in warcraft 3 where two teams are situated on opposite ends of the map. Each player commands one hero and must fight their way to the opposing teams Ancient.
    Differences to the original DotA:

    1. their is Alot less classes
    2. Not as many turrets
    3. Their is no jungle
    4. their are no creeps
    5. Their are not as many items
    6. The middle lane is not straight
    7. This map can be played with up to 16 people. although 6 to 10 players is recommended.
    Well, onto how the game is played:
    Unfortunately there are 2 honor rules to this gametype,
    The first is No Ripping off Turrets,
    The second is You must Destroy The Opposing Teams Turret That Is Situated In That Lane Before You Can Continue,

    Anyway now that's over and done with onto the pictures.
    This is where you spawn, There are ten classes and each class gets more powerful 3 minutes into the game. There are also 4 items that each team gets to use throughout the game. (note The picture is of an older version of the spawn the new one is slightly different)

    After you pick your class You will end up in Your base, from here there are three lanes you can assault the opposing team with.

    There is 2 turrets in either lane, 1 for each team. machine gun turrets in the middle and plasma turrets on the sides. Your team must destroy the opposing turret in that lane (no ripping it off) before you may proceed.

    After The Ordeal is over you can move into the enemies base. Here You will find the bomb which you can use to destroy the opposing ancient. Just plant and defend it for 30 seconds and...

    I've found that Sandbox can't well support maps on more than one level. Either pick the crypt, skybox, or that middle part.

    i,ve never played Dota before but i have seen people play it there are hundreds of different versions you can play. Now your map i don't really get the gameplay it seems not even close to the dota, unless i am thinking of a different version of dota.

    You could have spent more time merging and cleaning up your map it is very basic and the hallways are just empty.

    this game isn't play on multiple levels you only pick your class in the sky box and then every one procedes to the crypt. Also multi level maps do work good if they are built right.

    idk, this doesnt seem too much like dota, ive played dota and this has what 1 tower (turret) in each lane?
    And u should make the classes stricter, like agility heros have ranged, and maybe faster? Intel heros have equipment and ranged but worse ranged weapons, and strength heros have like a grav hammer or sword but are tanky and have OS.

    just a thought.

    i had it all nice and merged but unfortunately i had to sacrifice that to add a class selection.

    Well if you read the name it is halo style dota i wanted to make it appeal to halo players.
