I would be very surprised to see anything before OCF, they are probably just focusing on the patch. My guess is at some point later in the year to cash in on holidays, but who knows.

My theory is that Relic not release new commanders because they want to create custom commanders system.

I don't think we will see custom commanders cause what would be the point of making these paid commanders? That would be unfair, but yea I would love that they add new commanders and actually instead of making custom commander let's say allow coh2 community make one commander per month or something like that.

If custom commanders are ever going to be introduced, I'm sure it will be only allowed to be used in custom games.

Custom games will only be good when they put a side-lock on them so people don't constantly play all UKF.

Give us a damn side-lock relic, so we can force one team to be allies and the other to be axis.

I guarantee it, people would make the same OP combos and the meta would stagnate to everyone using the same crap. Plus commanders are big money, especially when they introduce good units.

If design will be correct, there is no chance for OPness of such commanders.
Just segregate abilities into 4 levels, make something like:
Level 1 - unlimited
Level 2 - 2
Level 3 - 1
Level 4 - 1

But for example if you go for level 4, you cannot use level 3, so you are forced to use level 1.

It's just an example, theory, according to which you cannot stack too good abilities together.

Also rememebr that they are Relic's commanders which need to be sold, so I belive only those can have combinations like SCAS+Tiger which will be forbidden for custom.

Why resign from commanders for packages if you can sell commanders and single abilities? :P

Can you guys stop being so excited about the idea of custom commanders?

The moment this thing gets implemented we'll have FOTM meta, where everyone uses exactly the same thing optimized by top players. Just look at ANY game that allows this kind of customization-everyone with a clue runs a single build, no exception, no variation, only noobs and newbies do other stuff. That isn't coh2 I'd want to play.

Also, the possibility of monetizing it, RANDOM PACKAGES OF SKILLS, isn't what I would like to see in non freemium game either.

I'd rather have new commander for each army released every 3-4 months.

I'm not excited about it, because I know first hand how that monetization process goes.
And given how war spoils work, there is only one way to monetize that-random boxes with random loot, most of it being trash fillers with small chance for something actually decent.
