Ok everyone, after playing for about a week.. I've kinda changed my opinion a little. They have recently updated it with some new maps and BR starts. The new game mode ( Breakout) is like a Search and Destroy mode which just feels weird in a halo game.
My opinion on the BR starts is that the game flows much better... I'm not spawning and running around looking for a BR / DMR which to me makes the game more competitive. I have certainly had more fun with the game since it was changed to BR's. I still believe the AR and SMG are still too overpowered at distance. I should not be melted in a second when i have a BR and he has an SMG at medium-long range. The AR needs more a bullet spread so that its not like a beam gun.
The maps are great so far! I really like the looks of the map even though the color choices aren't that great. I hope they continue with the small, balanced maps so that competitive players can have 7-10 maps they can play on ( not 3 like H2Anniv. ) Variety is key when it comes to being bored of a game.
After using the spartan abilities I'm enjoying them more now that i know how to use them. I really like the Dash and mantle ability which adds a new dynamic to the game.
Overall: My second impression after playing for about 3 hours every night for a total of about 20-25 hours i honestly like this game.. maybe not as a Halo game but i do feel like they stayed true to the arena style combat and it has a CHANCE... and a small chance of becoming a competitive (MLG - like ) game. Looking forward to the release.
My beta score as of 1 / 3 / 15 -- 7 / 10

Likes:
- The game flows pretty well ( everything feels pretty stable)
- Both maps in the beta are great. I really enjoy the symmetry between the power weapons
- I love the placement of power weapons and you can tell they understand how important balance is
- Hit detection is good and it doesn't lag that I've seen.
Dislikes:
- Callouts from the AI are extremely unnecessary, it feels way to much like call of duty
- The player abilities and movement feel way to much like Advanced Warfare... the air dash is IDENTICAL to AW exo dash.. not good
- The awful "victory" screen is the spartans... high fiving each other... standing in Destiny-like stances. It feels childish and awkward. Cut it
- The AI calls out when power weapons spawn.. thats nice for new players but thats really going to screw with the players that are competitive and know the times. I guess this is just more of a casual game
- Speaking of casual games, it feels like a knock off of halo 4. I was really hoping they would make it more like H2 anniversary but nope...
- The BR... what did they do to you my love... They ruined it. It shoots way to fast and the appearance... ugh why did they make it so ugly. CHANGE THE SCOPE.. i know they said they have attachments so i hope u can put on the classic scope.
- All the armor abilities are bad... u can dash out of the way like ur in a titan on titan fall.
- Weapons feel clunky... sniper zoom is weird and not very smooth
- Assault rifle is waaaayyy to strong. It has good range which makes it a better choice over the BR and DMR since the maps are small
- Also, the ranking system is back to SR... XP levels you up
