I’m finally able to play the beta tonight, anyone have any HELPFUL tips for a newbie such as myself.
Play the game and have fun
best tips
Have fun! I think its great. Don’t forget you have thrusters to dodge and manoeuvre!
on small gaps, use your jump charge ability, in case someone is camping you still have thrusters, always get a SMG if pssible, the are better than an AR especailly when zooming does good accuracy and damage plus fire rate, ALWAYS remember to thruster and jump thruster when evading nades,or bullets. use the correct weapons for the right ranges, autos for CQC/med range, Accuracy for med/long range. and if you are sprinting and want to pick up a weapon, -----slide and then hold your pick up button — KNOW WHEN TO GROUND POUND and how to follow — lets say someone is moving in a direction, ground pound ahead of them so you hit them ,trying to get to a ledge the you cant clamber, melee then clamber and it some reason gets you more range, hope this helps 
The biggest thing is learn to use the ar. Seeing as we spawn with them this week, you might as well learn it. Both maps have plenty of br and dmr so youll learn those spots just fine. But im noticing in this halo if its close combat i would rather have an ar 90% of the time and a br at anything from mid to long
This game takes a bit to get used to–be patient with it and give it some time. It’ll REALLY grow on you.
Don’t hide, people can flank you. In the beta I’ve noticed there are barely any spots to camp. When I started camping my KD ratio went down a ton. Keep moving.
