Im not very good with words so ill try to make this short.

So, right off the bat I notice the graphics are pretty mediocre everything is aliased if its farther then 7ft in front of you. BUT it is just the beta and its pretty much a whole year till release so obviously the "gwafiks" won't be finished.
         Game play: Movement  seems clunky but really isn't (fairly certain its the animation) the new features they added to the movement dosent detract from gameplay. With the exception of those stabilizers while you ADS, it makes it harder to shoot your target if its dropping. Clambering is a bit clunky and should be faster. Sprint is kinda useless now that you have that thruster thing. Its also needs to be fixed because its way to easy to evade a fight. You can just run away from battle. Im thinking they should make it so if you getting shot you can't sprint. Ground pound should stay but it also has flaws. You can use ground pound as much as you please during the match and thats not okay. Its relatively easy to use and very powerful. It needs to be balanced by allowing only one use per spawn and it depletes your shields after you use it.  ADS is pretty good actually. Although it does tighten up your shots it doesnt even need to be used. I find myself rarely using it. Power weapons should not be indicated when they are respawning it makes everybody camp in that area.
       Conclusion: Its fun and needs some work.  P.S Title screen music lacks aural stimulation

It plays like Halo 2 on steroids, the abilities can't be used willy-nilly and don't help at all in classic 1v1 situations. Most importantly it feels FUN, the addition of music in the MP mode is actually very nice, it helps create a superb atmosphere. It gets the pulse racing but is also immensely reliant on good tactics and strategy, much like a chess match.

10/10 so far

Small gripe, but anyone dislike how it doesn't display weapon schematics on the HUD when you walk over them?

Apparently it puts me on the worst teams up against people using actually team work.  It pisses me off losing a 1v3 because I have 2 jack ass team mates bumping penis over the sniper rifle down the hall from the fight.  Also experienced team mates jumping off the edge due to lack of awareness and running away.  Had one game where my team helped and it was pretty fun and we all did good. 

On empire near the outside sniper spawn I notice it's pretty easy to run away and play ring around the rosy around the center room and clamber ledge.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
The goddamn beeping
Wow, it cant be turned off? Great sound design...

I've noticed lots of people drop out of the game like half way in.

The game is really fun. I'm surprised. However, the AA's and Sprint all seem forced and really unnecessary IMO. Wish they would remove them.

I love the beta, I don't really have any complaints at the moment. I think 343 did a great job.

After your 10 game skill assessment, it gets better.  Those 10 games made me rip out handfuls of ass hair though.

-I'm a fan of what they did to aim assist.  Even the automatic weapons actually feel like they have a degree of skill to them, rather than the duels being about who shot first.
-Beeping is kinda annoying, but I think they actually removed it in a more recent build, shown off in a bulletin
-I like the thrusters.  Even in CoD:AW, I think they're pretty entertaining, and I don't think they take too much away from the game
-Still have yet to see anyone use ground pound effectively, so I think that's a good thing
-Don't mind the team chatter, since I'm used to Battlefield anyways
-They need to put the weapon schematics up when it prompts you to pick something up.  My eyes are shit, so reading fine text and trying to focus at the same time can be a bitch
-I think the maps could use some more BRs on the maps if they're going to force us to use AR/pistol
-My teammates have been window-licking tards up until this point

I reserve the right to possibly hate the shit out of this game in 2 weeks

My first game was basically me and randoms vs. a bunch of tryhards working together that and I didn't know how to play shit was horrible >.>
That's exactly what my problem was!  I'm actually going positive most games now.

Also, how the fuck do you do the ground pound? It charges up and then nothing.

Is the interval between each bullet for the 3 round burst in the BR shorter than it used to be?
Feels more like a DMR now.

So it does match you with people of your skill? I did notice I've been getting matched with people near my rank.

You have to be a certain height off the ground, and the reticle will also turn red when you're able to do it. I have yet to get a kill with it, but I have killed several people while they tried to on me.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
They managed to somehow remove options from customization for no reason. GG
