I think its awesome.
I'm loving the Armor abilities and Stockpile is a lot of fun.
My only complaint is how the grenades are a bit overpowered and the stockpile flags on that open map tend to spawn very close to red team's score point.

DMR:
excellent, this gun shows MLG fanboys just how easymode the BR is.
still, its powerful in the right hands, and can easily finish off a player with an aimed headshot, a good shooting 'flow' feels fairnesses.
Needle rifle:
'different' from the DMR, I don't like it as much as i thought I would. feels a little inconsistent, not quite as good.
magnum:
perfect
AR:
feels not as good as H3's, probably on purpose, would like to see deviation increase after 3 shots, encourage some skilled burst-fire.
Others
nicely varied, I like their balance, both using and used-against.
Really like the armour abilities, but I don't like how, in splitscreen, one player STALKER-ing disables all of our audio. that's a glitch.

i think the beta is great overal.armour lock sometimes does not work but that kind of thing happens in betas. some guns are a bit OP like the needler its crazy good it can shot faster,hits harder, and seems to have more shots then alot of the guns and in my opinion it is the best gun in the game right now. the shotgun is a bit to good in close combat it trums the sword and hammer everytime. also i feel the DMR needs a bigger clip it's like 12 shots i believe its a bit to short for me. but the abilities are alot of fun , the new matchs are great , the really found a way to make halo more fun for me. so besides them problems for me the game is great and i cant wait to get my hands on the full game
Pretty fun, but the grenades need a bit of tweaking. They seem to blow up half a second after they touch something, no matter how long they have been in the air.
They seem to be very effective at very close range.
