It's Open Beta, but Beta regardless. So the reason there aren't as many users is that the game hasn't even been announced yet. Once it goes live, I expect to see a huge boost in the number of players. So... don't worry. The crowd is coming.</p> The game is still in beta, actually. It’s Open Beta, but Beta regardless.

The game is getting more popular but I have seen numerous complaints about how the premium/elite get too many benefits and thus people stop playing, but that could all change if a large amount of players start to play and paying for the game seems more worth it.</p> <p>However, I still would like to Suggest that non-paying players have their map slots (maybe just one) available to play online (not publish if you want to restrict that). This would still make premium and elite worth it while giving more reason for players to create custom games (especially, if more paying members create these the game will become a lot better).</p> I am willing to pay for the premium but I am not willing to waste $20 on an unpopular game unless it is really worth it (at the moment it is not).

I miss being able to make good maps most of which mine were in the 4.5-5.0 rating level. Why should poor kids and kids who are physically restrained from paying money for certain things.. why should they be restricted? all this talk about "classic maps" and "classic battalion" makes no sense to me. Anything "classic" should not be restricted. I say give us back publishing for at least 5 maps and allow us to access ALL maps. this game has more potential then zening (which i am playing now) but with all this restriction that potential is being suppresed</p> I like the battalion before when we werent restricted to certain maps and certain gameplay.
