Implement in-game world war 2 timeline period

[Vic Smecheru]

But why not make Gsm mod a DLC, would be very nice to have the mod as a DLC to choose from so that every person would have it as a gaming mod and would be compatible for every player, why not do this? Company of heroes 2 is based on Eastern front mod, so why not implement German soldier mod as a dlc?

at least dms could somehow have this option in multiplayer so that in the settings you could play historical period settings, so if someone wanted to play this kind of settings could do so: i.e. if you choose year 1941, all factions would have that years specific units and infantry. all other units would dessapear. if hard core ww2 fans want this kind of play no reason why flamewars should start. others who care about playing the game as itis could easily stick to what mowas is right now. i dont think its very difficult, although i dont know. skirmishes tend to be somehow realistic in terms of units, not skins. gsm is a very good mod but unfortunatly there are very few people who play certain maps. i like it but cant find players when iam online.

That is the major issue of the mod even if othe people have you can't play with them because it is unsincronised and you cant join them .

I doubt the DLC thing would work. The mod uses models from so many sources and I doubt that the modders are very keen on DMS selling their work. It would reguire even more resources to remake all the models or buy the rights to use modder made models than it would to just implement year settings and new units to AS. It would be better if DMS could implement a system into the multiplayer system that would allow you to download custom maps and mods on when joining a server using them. Like Red Orchestra. It's ofcourse possible that such a system would be impossible because MOWAS uses gamespy?

EDIT: I think the whole copyright thing is the reason why we still don't have the community map competition DLC?

Think about this: This game have a very small community, and also is divided between people who Only Play Ranked games,People who only play normal games,people who only play mods because the vanilla game isn't good enough for them, and also u want to implement a year system wich is gonna divide even more the community, because of people who will only play a determinated year and people who don't like that system. So The Chance of getting a game its gonna be reduced alot.

I dissagree, because i play combat, frontlines, skirmishes and of course the best mods of the community! We need more variety! Gamers should always be happy!! We need time line and we should get it!

There you go, timeline. Enjoy.

K, but if we want to play timeline we need to have sincronised versions because when I try to play German soldiers mod it says that my version is incombatible this is a major problem with mods, why cant there be a feature to download the custom server specific functions something just like in Warcraft 3 where you could download the map and the mod.
