Conclusion:
Overall, the beta is mediocre at best. With such a saturated genre, you would at least expect a good multiplayer. I hate review scores, but if I had to give one like others do, it would have been around the 6/10 mark.

Networking/Connection:
This is the worst part of the multiplayer. A Triple-A FPS game should have dedicated servers, not Peer-to-peer connection. Because of this, hitboxes are all over the place. The enemy can be seen missing on the killcams, but somehow the server registers it as a hit.

Gameplay:
It's your usual COD. Fast-paced shooter with low TTK. However, I don't remember the maps being this small, making any medium-long range weapon useless. Unless you are used to quickscoping, you should stick with SMG or shotgun. Talking about the shotgun, it has a special fire ammo which is way too overpowered from my point of view.
Movement is clunky. Some areas feel like they should be reachable, but they aren't. The small size of the maps contribute to the clunkiness of the movement.

Graphics:
Although game looks alright, textures are blurry/muddy. In fact, I quite liked the photorealistic graphics of Battlefield 1. I think it suits FPS games.

Sound:
Yet another category which fails to fulfill my hopes. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't have issues. But come on, the sound feels like it has been reused from older games.

Performance:
The port is mediocre. People are reporting stuttering and frame drops, but i haven't experienced anything like that. For reference, I'm using a GTX 1060 laptop with a i7 6700HQ processor and 16GB RAM. I was getting stable framerate on a mixture of high/extra settings.
