Some of the unique features of HoN include the following: "We've been passionate about our games in the past, but we've always attempted innovative, groundbreaking, and unproven ideas. "All of us at S2 are extremely excited and passionate about HoN and we know that this is going to be a breakthrough title for us," said Marc DeForest, CEO and Founder, S2 Games. There are over 350,000 registered beta players and the game sees upwards of 25,000 concurrent players during peak hours. In the short three months of closed beta there have been over 1.3 million matches played. Heroes of Newerth is the vision of S2 Games CEO and Founder, Marc DeForest, who after years as a die-hard fan, set out to create a standalone version of Defense of the Ancients (DotA) that would incorporate all of the features he felt were lacking, while still remaining true to the frenetic, yet heavily team-reliant style of gameplay that had kept him hooked for so long. S2 Games is best known for its critically acclaimed online multiplayer Savage franchise (Savage: The Battle for Newerth and Savage 2: A Tortured Soul), which created the RTSS (real-time strategy-shooter) genre. The team-oriented design of HoN coupled with unprecedented in-game Voice-Over-IP controls and Clan Support allow for an incredibly deep, tactical team-based experience. As a match progresses, players can earn experience and gold which can be used to upgrade skills or purchase items to make their character more powerful. With the assistance of AI-controlled armies, each team sets out with the sole objective of destroying the other team's base. In Heroes of Newerth, two teams of up to five players each take on the role of special Hero units.
