We don't plan to release the mod to the public now and probably not even in a year. We want to keep in unique to the SMC tournament so most likely the mod will never be released to the public.
Access has been a hot debate, and sadly this will not be public ever. - SMC Team
That is like if I made Crossroads and only people who played in my tournament could enjoy that map for that tournament, and I decided to keep the map away from the public forever. People would, in the end, not care much about Crossroads, nor should they in this case. What it would have brought to the COH community would never be knowable. That would be a very strange decision.
I'm curious why put this much work into something that the vast majority of people can only watch and never play?
Also if people aren't going to be able to play this mod, why should anyone care about it?
My sense is you guys are shooting yourselves in the foot with that decision, am I wrong?
These are honest questions, thanks!
