Heroes of Newerthhas a lot going on during the next few days. It’s the second annual HoN-iversary, which marks the introduction of a new game mode calledMid Wars. S2 Games has adapted the popular “All Mid” custom game type that should be of real interest to new and old players alike.

In Mid Wars, there is no loss of gold upon player death, respawn times have been trimmed, and skill progression moves at a faster pace. The goal — to provide “high action, low stress gameplay” — seems to be a smart one. S2 Games has a new map and matchmaking for Mid Wars, so go try it out.
