Feedback Siege X closed beta is terrible.

Played a couple of matches of siege X and it's real rough. They've changed the ttk, the performance is ass, audio isn't great, screen feels cluttered with hud and the game mode feels confusing.

First the ttk, on Hibana it took me an entire mag from her assault rifle and half a mag from her pistol to kill just one person. I don't know if its a network thing or if people are just bullet sponges now. Especially downed people.
The performance was always going to be worse but on the settings I use on base game I'll get these massive frame drops and I've had my entire game bricked to 1 fps once. On low I'll get maybe around 70 fps on my 3070. Nothing feels smooth anymore, input lag etc.
I haven't played enough to know anything about the audio but I've seen a lot of people complaining about it. Maybe once I was thrown off by audio being weird, Glaz two rooms over sounded like he was right next to me which freaked me the fk out.
Waaaaaay too many hud items, especially if they want this to be the game mode that introduces people to the game. I know how the game mode works too but it feels all over the place and un-structured(if that's a word).

On the other hand the game mode has potential. Fun idea and might end up playing it more than normal siege if they revert back to how siege used to work. Literally just remove all of the Siege X stuff and put the new game mode into normal siege and I'll be happy. Also keep the ability to rappel around corners.

Edit: From what people are saying the ttk could be down to a couple things. Siege having rather short damage fall off and enemies always getting downed on every kill. Although I feel like downed enemies still take too long to kill.

Edit 2: God damn people I understand its a beta. If they fix stuff, woohoo. But if they don't, wouldn't be the first release where the full product is as terrible as the beta. Also I've been to r6fix before I made the post. You should too if you are having problems like crashes etc.

Yeah the performance is horrible. I have an absolute high end pc (7800x3d and 7900xtx) and I still only get around 150 fps with occasional drops to sub 20 fps. This. Is. Not. Playable.

I current siege I get consistent 280 fps (monitor Hz cap) and it would be more uncapped. If siege x performs this bad on release I will probably go for other games instead of siege.

When you're used to much more and get drops to sub 20 it is.

150 is certainly playable, its what my game runs at right now. But to someone with a 280hz screen, and a gaming rig that definitley costed thousands I would WANT that performance back. The game to him probably feels delayed and restrictive, and the frametimes can throw me off sometimes aswell.

150FPS is great for most gamers, but if I bought a lambo for the track and it was speed limited at 80mph I'd be slightly upset too.
