I would try and test it, but after updating I realized I was not in the mood to get stomped by unbalance.... ( completely off topic)
So I will return to the game when there will be patches with fixes

It must be really hard to be you, if you consider downloading the alpha battleserver version as work.
come play the alpha man. It is fun, just need more players.

You would be surprised that some people actually get paid to download and test.
The position is called a "tester" =)

30/1 2014.
As we continue to work towards improving the Company of Heroes 2 online experience we’re turning to you, the community, to help us test one of the biggest new technologies in Company of Heroes history – the Battle Servers. Once launched the Company of Heroes 2 Battle Servers will be an important step towards reducing lag during online play and preventing unfair play such as drophacks.
Since these servers require such a massive change in how Company of Heroes 2 online play works, we want to test them extensively before we make them live in the full retail game.
Today we’re launching the Company of Heroes 2 Battle Server Alpha Test.
The success of this Alpha Test will rely a great deal on community participation. There will be times when we need to stress test the servers, and will call on you to hop on and play various game modes, to ensure that they can handle the number of players that enjoy CoH2 every day.
We appreciate feedback on your playing experience in this forum.

I am on the alpha tester but I agree Relic probably should add an incentive to get players to participate.
Thats what I've told already.
Unless they offer some minor freebie there is not much reason for the community to venture there en masse.

What offer free new commander?
= full alpha servers
I was going to say the same thing... offer free skin/commander of your choosing. But in order to get it you have to play the alpha between 3-5 hours. This way they will get some testing done and some feedback.
The reason I think people don't play it is because you have to download some 800mb file to play(no problem here) but then if you want to play the original you have to re-download 1.2gb to play. Some people are on limited traffic or slow internets.
Hope they do better job in the future with this kind of things.

I would say the new alpha already has a lot to offer:
virtually no lag in team games, no drop hack, new opportunity to surrender, and much better opportunity to invite people from the chat directly in your game.
Overall i think its going to be great.
I think it's a shame that players must constantly lured by free stuff. give me, give me generation strikes again ... come on

I think it is more the fact that it is actually somewhat of a hassle to go test the battle servers and then come back to "normal" live servers where you can actually find a game. People are more than willing to test upcoming patches with zero incentive - just look at all the PTRs that other games do all the time now. The difference is that you get a separate client so that you can seamlessly swap between the PTR and the live game.
Also people with data caps would be pretty screwed with even switching more than once.

I've been part of the alpha for 2 days. But hardly any players were available. When I finally got matched (it was always the same guy), he only wanted to defend his base (layed wire around it). I then decided to leave the alpha. Especially, I see a problem in not being able to have the alpha installed as a separate install (or is there?). If there is a way to separately install it, I return to it.
That's the main reason why I did not participate in the Alpha test. I can only play a couple games per day and I can't wait the time to download the patches if I want to switch from the Alpha to the normal version.
