I really wouldn't base my story expectations on the beta. Imagine setting your expectations of the entire Halo franchise based on just the first half of the Pillar of Autumn.

I absolutely love the PvE. Even in this small area of the beta I'm having hours and hours worth of enjoyment. I've been treating explore just like a big firefight game. Plus I enjoy just experimenting with the weapons and trying to do stunts on my sparrow.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I've enjoyed the PvP. There's some balancing that needs to be done, but it's a beta test. If you went in expecting it to be polished you were setting yourself up to be disappointed. I actually like the feel of almost all the weapons. They might feel the same at first, but when you start paying attention to the little nuances between them they begin to feel way different from each other. There's a bigger learning curve to the PvP than I think a lot of people expected. It took me a while for it to start making sense, but when it did it became a lot of fun. I just had to realize that I was subconsciously trying to play it like Halo I have to wonder if that's part of why some folks aren't getting it too.
