Some guns need to be tweaked, vehicle gameplay needs to be re-thought IMO. The only vehicle I find fun to drive right now is the Ghost.
The warthog has weird steering, not fun to drive, and just feels awkward in general. The turret on the warthog feels really slow at times. You can't turn it as fast when you're firing it. That seems good in theory until coupled with the fact that it takes time for the turret to spin up.
The banshee is, again, awkward to drive. This may be due to the camera angle alone though, as most of the time I get confused at what altitude I'm actually at. It's health is also a joke. Apparently a person with an AR could do as much damage as a laser. Hell, when the Banshee was approaching me doing it's attack run, I had a gooddamn plasma pistol and I won using just the shots (no overcharge)...
The wraith is a joke, possibly the worst vehicle so far in the Beta. With extremely slow turning speed and really slow acceleration due to the high mass, it feels like you're sitting in a deathtrap, especially with tier 3 grenade launchers disabling your ability to move and shoot. And it doesn't even compensate with firepower. The shots don't do as much damage as the scorpion, and they arc, making them even more difficult to land.
The scorpion is awkward to drive also, but at least it compensates with really good firepower. Maybe a little too good.
The Ghost feels right in this game however. Fast, nimble, maneuverable and easy to control, just like it should be. It doesn't have a lot of firepower, but that's all right. The cannons provide a good enough backup if you happen to miss the splatter on people.
In conclusion, I think that the Player vs. Player combat feels very solid, but when vehicles are involved, then it becomes a chore.
Oh yeah, I give it an 8
