I like the beta matchmaking making it a lot more competetive. Now that I am getting the hang of this game it's becoming a lot more fun for sure.
There's definitely a time when it starts to click and the game goes from "cool but hard" to "Crap this is awesome"
For me, that was when I got the Hammer for the Spitfire LMG. Rodeo-ing Titans became an absolute joy, and I really got good at wallrunning.
I'm still waiting for the moment you guys are talking about. For now, I play about an hour a night and I don't hate it, but I don't find myself unable to stop playing like I do with most shooters that I really like. After about an hour I'm usually happy to be done with it. I'm not doing terrible either, so it's not a frustration thing it just hasn't got it's hooks in me. But I also don't think I've unlocked either of the guns you're talking about. What level do they come into play?
