I have to say, the beta impressed the hell out of me. More than any shooter I've played in a long time, this game REALLY emphasizes movement, and it feels, as a result, very fresh and interesting. The infantry portion is entirely about running, jumping, double jumping, wall running, dodging in and out and taking quick, on the move shots, and it works really well for that. The mech portions are much more plodding (it is a giant robot), but still emphasize movement, though it's harder to be nimble and requires more strategy (managing shields, arsenals of rocket barrages, dashes), it still places quite a premium on movement and positioning in a way I found extremely satisfying.
I DO wish that infantry took a little bit more damage (3-5 bullets and you're down) to give it a more UT feel, but overall I think it's a hell of a lot of fun.
