Why do I suck so bad at Destiny PVP?

Alright prokillers, here's your chance to school somebody who will actually appreciate it. Quick backstory; Last time I played an FPS in PVP was when Marathon was hot property, so some of my problems may just be because I'm really rusty. Anyway, what's the deal with PVP in Destiny? I feel like I'm just doing it all wrong...every time I blink somebody gets me with a one-shot kill and it doesn't seem to matter much what weapon they're using, or what I'm trying to do to stay alive. None of my weapons feel anywhere near as powerful as what the other team is using. Honestly I really want to like the Destiny PvP experience, because I've got a sentimental attachment to Bungie and this game is lots of fun for me in PvE. So help me out. How do I get the most out of this game? I've got military experience (which basically boils down to having a great deal of training in following instructions) and lots of time to kill once the game ships (retired), so if you folks can boil this particular PvP system down to some basic tactical and strategic elements I'll be able to pick up on it and have fun with it, but right now I'm feeling pretty worn down after having the brakes beat off me repeatedly in the beta. Thanks in advance for your thoughts (and for the inevitable insults from the kids table). p.s. Don't think I'm blaming the game...obviously people are winning at PvP, so the system works...I just down understand [b]how [/b]it works yet, so I'm not one of them.

    To the OP. I have been playing shooters for year starting with COD and Destiny is by far the worst pvp I have ever played. It is so bad it really needs to be reworked or disabled. So just do it for marks to upgrade gear. What makes it bad? The amount of one shot specials, the impact of heavy weapons, and general overall gararbage you have to endure. It is no skill pvp designed to create a wow factor with little kiddies who have not hit puberty. I don't mind dieing or losing to a skilled player. Typically, when I die in Destiny pvp it is "that was so stupid". Skill is not shooting someone with that ridiculous burning gun special or lobbying a target seeking missile. I would suggest playing Destiny for what you enjoy but pvp is not where this game shines. In fact, pvp is so bad in this game I would not suggest using the Destiny pvp experience as what all games are like in the genre. There are several skill based pvp games on the market and they are alot of fun. Destiny is a great game but pvp is utterly and completely horrible. So bad I believe they should disable it. So don't let something this bad (destiny pvp) change your outlook on an entire type of gaming. Shooters can be wonderful fun. I know skill less pvp sucks and it is a shame Destiny is so bad.
