@@hellishinc "Defense of the Ancients (DotA) is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) mod for the video game Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos (2002) and its expansion, The Frozen Throne. The objective of the game is for each team to destroy their opponents' Ancient, a heavily guarded structure at the opposing corner of the map, which is based on the "Aeon of Strife" map for StarCraft. Players use powerful units known as heroes, and are assisted by allied teammates and AI-controlled fighters. As in role-playing games, players level up their heroes and use gold to buy equipment during the mission. The scenario was developed with the "World Editor" of Reign of Chaos, and was updated upon the release of its expansion, The Frozen Throne. There have been many variations of the original concept, the most popular being DotA Allstars, eventually simplified to DotA. The mod has been maintained by several authors during development, with the pseudonymous designer, known as IceFrog, maintaining the game since the mid-2000s. DotA became a feature at several worldwide tournaments, including Blizzard Entertainment's BlizzCon and the Asian World Cyber Games. Critical reception to DotA was positive, with it being called one of the most popular mods of any game.[1] DotA is largely attributed as being the most significant inspiration for the MOBA genre.[2][3] American video game developer Valve acquired the intellectual property rights to DotA in 2009 to develop a franchise, beginning with a standalone sequel, Dota 2, released in July 2013.[4][5]

I think it's fantastic that the shock rifle has a hidden function. Shoot a secondary fire energy ball with the primary fire beam for an exploding energy ball. Difficult to master but lethal in a pros hands. It's a playfully genius way to add a hidden function, I can't think of any other fps weapon like this

One of the best features!❤❤

I downloaded the demo back then. Started the game and that was the first time I experienced "playing online". At 1st I was thinking I was playing against bots, but I saw comments reacting to eachother. Then I pushed a button, I was able to write, and all I was asking was something in the line of, are you real people? Are you real humans? This game was mindblowing. I couldnt also believe I was playing against real people. Maybe crazy to some, but its a moment I will never forget. It was in the middle of the night, I was 18, and superstoned, and discovered a game that has multiplayer.

This menu music is my childhood Really relating to the "High Intensity Zen", that's exactly it.

Literal chills when that menu theme started playing at 4:09 . This game helped define my childhood. Side note: LGR playing LGI 😊

This brings me back to 99 playing online over my dial up connection on a shitty Packard Bell with a tiny Ram in my bedroom and losing connection every time my mother would pick up the phone and try and call someone. Everything took so long but that game was in my opinion epic. Great video

This video made me remember a very very good childhood memory, thank you sir. When you for the first time experience something truly amazing, as the sheer fun this game is. I was 13 back then, and my god it was glorious, on those 16 inch big heating monitors. PS : I also check every new mouse with UT xd

I remember playing these games single player because I didn't have a regular internet connection at the time and there was just an atmosphere to them that I can't describe.

I was 15 at the time, but yes - UT is also my favourite game of all time. It's the game I've never uninstalled and I also keep a copy of it on the USB drive attached to my keyring, just in case. This game has given me so many wonderful memories - playing in Internet cafes with friends, downloading maps from the Internet and transporting them back home on floppy disks, creating my own maps, saving to upgrade my PC so that the game can run better.

Maaaaan that spacemap where you have the planet rotating around you... That's still eye candy

I still remember getting the demo from a magazine CD, installing it, and playing Morpheus for easily 10 hours straight... And then when the game released, first in line to buy it, and proceed to what seems an infinite number of hours playing all the modes, remembering CTF Face and the InstaGib very fondly at LAN parties I'd put together! Thank you ever so much for doing this retrospective. So many memories! This is easily one of the best videos & quality content I have seen on KZread since its inception. Amazing job!

I've recently played through the single player campaign on Adept (on Manjaro Linux BTW). And your fantastic retrospective came in exactly at the right time. This game is probably one that I've sank the most of my teenage time into back in early 2000s. It's highly nostalgic for me and I am glad there was no "always online" crap or other nonsense that has been making games utterly impossible to play after their hay day nowadays. It's sad. So much work of the programers and artist and after a few years they have nothing to show for it. Anyway, frag on!

Absolutely loved this game when it came out, and I too played the hell out of the demo version from PC Gamer before getting the full release. Then UT 2004 came out and I loved that even more. It's such a shame that Epic has shelved the new UT. It's incredibly playable in it's current form, even in the alpha state, it just needs a bit more work and more maps. I say Epic should do this: Assign like one or 2 people to oversee and approve game assets and let the fans and community develop stuff for it. Maps, UI adjustments, game modes, etc. Let fans set up servers for it too!

I spend my childhood playing this game oh god i miss those days

This felt more like a love letter to UT than a retro review, and I loved it. With quite possibly 5000+ hours on the game during my teens, it has a truly special place in my heart, and although I've never experienced the multiplayer past like, 8 players, one of my dreams is to play a 4v4v4v4 TDM with capable players someday.

Haha so you play on Adept too! xD I played the sequels, and the Quake games too, and they were good, but none ever quite captured the same level of utter fun as UT99 did.
