Beta releases tomorrow in the UK, a day early, so I'm assuming it's coming a day early for the US too.

Is anyone playing the beta?

What's the early buzz?

Extreme excitement and huge disappointment, depending on whether it only takes you minutes to find a game or hours. They're working on it.

I played it.

Did the offline intro for a few mins. Online maps like these always look at lot worse that single player campaign. But my God was it glorious. the waterfall. The cliffs, the lighting it's amazing.

Tried an online match and couldn't get one so I dunno what it's like. I guess servers are full.

It's sporadic to say the least. Some people are just getting game after game with no problem while others are waiting hours. There's been a suggestion that it could be something to do with what difficulty level you set it at but I can't see how that would make a difference and I'm not even sure there IS a difficulty level.

Can I change the difficulty I set and what's recommended? 

I don't know. I've just been following the GAF thread. All I've seen mention of is the idea difficulty might be one reason. There's just been a patch to improve things and ND are suggesting people reboot their PS4s.

Yes.

That's what betas are for, I guess. Ironing out the kinks.
