LOL. This has been my experience, too. The story/explore/campaign mode is really fun -- almost too easy -- but multiplayer has been brutally unforgiving.

One thing to consider -- have you been playing a lot of Iron Banner? The IB playlist retains bonuses from upgraded gear, so somebody with top-tier armor and weapons can steamroll you if you're unprepared.

If you're talking regular multiplayer, I don't know what to tell you. I've shotgunned people in the face point-blank and still managed to die first. The only thing I can say is that maybe the beta matchmaking is not capable of reliably sorting people by skill given the short timeframe -- I've seen some awfully unbalanced teams and outcomes so far, even after just a few games.

(Also, is it just me or does the shield system seem much weaker than in Halo? There seems to be much less time to react once attacked before you're dead.)
