I have about 15 hours in it so far.

I think you may be underestimating new players or their thirst for something new.Generally speaking, I think the game is fun for a certain type of player, but I feel their biggest barrier will be that there's nothing for players who can't aim super well to contribute to their team, or to achieve in general.
I've played a lot of these types of games over the years, so it's went well for me, but there are tons of people in matches I've played that go like 3:20 in kills to deaths (and that's being generous for a lot of them), and some of them with levels suggesting they've played at least a few matches.
Most of the audience will be driven off really quickly by this, and then god help anyone who isn't good at this genre and tries to join after a month or two once all the new people are gone.
Yeah if they took the whole stupid champion thing in this game and made everyone even across the board and got back to personal skill being the difference maker. I love everything else about it. Feels very Quake 3 other than the stupid champion thing. I hope they have a Pro Mode where it strips all that away.
Swing and a miss:
Pros:
+ Looks good
+ Runs good
+ Player movement feels responsive, speed is good
+ Weapons seem reasonably well balanced
Cons:
- Player movement is tied to champions.
- PLAYER MOVEMENT IS TIED TO CHAMPIONS
- Want to bunny hop, go fuck yourself unless you unlock a specific champion.
- Want to strafe jump? Sorry sir, that's a different champion. Want to bunny hop and strafe jump? Go fuck yourself.
- Enemy players have a giant red arrow over their head. There is no using the map to your advantage, as you have a GIANT RED ARROW over your head at all times.
- Champion abilities are utter horseshit.
Yuck.
how big is the download for this?
The Bethesda launcher says you need 50GB of free space, however I don't think it is nearly that big.
The first loading is like 2 minutes, wtf.

Yipes, this game is not for me. I tried a few games and the speed is something I am not used to. People were just flying around and jumping all over the place two shotting me and my teammates. And is it just me or is there no way of permanently unlocking a new champion without real money? The in-game currency only allowed for rentals.
You have a chance at unlocking champions in lootboxes(they're "legendary" level items).
I have gotten 3 champions in boxes so far in ~20 hours of playtime in the beta. If that was really lucky or not, I don't know.
My aim with the RG is usually okay at best, so it feels really nice when you do stuff like this.

Any Uberpain footage?

I timed it. It took me 22 minutes to launch the game the first time. Subsequent launches have been shorter, although the map load times are egregious -- by the time I can play the round has been going on for a couple of minutes.I can't get this damn game to load for the first time. It's been 30 minutes since I launched it. I don't think I'll be able to play, ever. 🙁

I'm going to reserve judgement on this for a little bit. I am a long time Quake player -- I played QL daily until very recently -- and I have a lot to say about what I've experienced so far but I figure I should give it more time than I have.

those are legit cons, offputting
I've played around the same amount of time--getting about 15 lootboxes, and I didn't unlock a champion. So, it may be luck.
Doesn't matter to me much--I'll be getting the champion pack.
