Keep playing. Have fun. Don't forget: It's a game!

I laughed so hard. I had to check if this was a joke. An auto rifle is the go to if your aim is off. Hand cannons rewards someone with good aim. But I find them harder to use because setting up headshots takes more time to me. One important thing to keep in mind is your cross hair placement. Majority of players have theirs pointing into the floor when they're playing. The problem with that is, when they encounter an enemy, they have to lift up the crosshairs and then begin to aim. Keep the crosshairs at about your enemy's head height most of the times. That way, when you see someone you can start aiming and firing right away. You have a warlock. Choose your subclass based on how you play. If you prefer keeping your distance go voidwalker. If you like to get up in people's face, go sunsinger. For the crucible I prefer voidwalker. It has blink. You have to get used to blink. Blink is just a beast. If you find yourself in a bad position and you're swarmed, blink away. Keeping running. Make them chase. What I do alot, I run away. As I get around a corner, if there aren't too many, I turn and I charge when they're still charging at me. When they get around that corner and see me charging, they all panic. If there are too many, run and lead them to your teammates. Your teammates will pick them off one by one for you. A shotgun is the easiest thing to use, especially if it has decent range like Found Verdict. That's all I used until the last Iron Banner. Then I started using a sniper. I'd recommend learning to snipe. When someone sees your glare, it keeps them in check. And sometimes, they just leave you alone. Find a sniper that has maxed out stability so if you didn't get that headshot, you can fire two body shots quickly. That'll take them down. One more important thing is know your maps. There are areas on some maps that you have to be cautious of. For example going through that cave area around flag A on Shores of Time. There is a platform that people normally camp out and wait for enemies to come running through that cave. And bam, Icebreaker to head. You can even use these spots. If you're ever passing one of them, stop and spend 15 seconds there and wait. But don't camp - people won't respect you and if you get someone there, believe me, they're going back to that spot to see if you're dumb enough to stay there. Edit: A huge point I forgot. When you're in a 1v1 gun battle. Do not stand still and shoot. Move from side to side. Make a few of his/ her shot miss. And I would also advise watching a guy's youtube channels. Just search for Arctyc. He snipes alot, and those spots that he gets people, alot of people stay too long in those spots. I guarantee you that you'll catch a few there.

See guys even the guy who sucks at everything [u]admits[/u] he can still get kills with that [u]op[/u] warlock melee. Nerf now bunji pls

Sometimes it pays to hang back and watch your team mates.

PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE! It's all about experience. I played my first FPS 8 years ago. I wasn't [u]completely[/u] comfortable with the controls and able to lead a team in PvP until about 2 years ago. (Granted, I'm an MMO player, not FPS. I know some of you used to merk in previous FPS') A few points I've found that are helpful: Remember we're dealing with Bungie, lords of console PvP. While some might argue that Destiny has fallen short, many will argue that point because they believe Bungie is capable of better. Which, more than likely, they are. With that being said, Bungie thrived off Halo, and Halo thrived off games like Shotty-Snipes and SWAT (No radars. All head shots). Bungie is crafty in their game development. Play the map. Learn the basics of the objects around you and you'll be able to predict how other players utilize those objects. For example, know what capture points receive the most attention and the heaviest campers. [b]Outsmart people, and you won't have to outshoot them! [/b] Secondly, as I mentioned above, a lot of us grew up on Halo, thus growing up in games like SWAT. Destiny is primarily a head shot game. While most games are, you're still able to kill a lot of things with body shots and things of this nature. The purpose of health and critical hits in Destiny is to force players to aim for the head (or weak point) of an enemies armor. [b]When in doubt, always aim for the head![/b] Finally, remember to have fun. For the most part, the members of this game are mature and recognize and utilize all load outs that are available to them. Nobody complains about noob tubing, or running a primarily melee class, and those that do are often seen playing as Titans with rocket launchers. (My main is a titan. I am a titan. I was simply finishing the analogy of RL+Melee). My point is, go for kills. However you can. Someone stated earlier that you should run with the pack and even try to sneak steal a kill or two. Do that! [b]Remember that RNGesus doesn't recognize performance level and skill. His will is pure luck. [/b] Use whatever gun feels the most natural, to start out with. And perfect it! This is as much about putting the time in as anything else. Even if it is "just a video game". It seems that your preference may be Hand Cannons and Scout Rifles. A very Hunter like choice. Maybe try running on a different character? Pick up all three and see which you do the best with. Experiment and test our theories and ways to make yourself better. I'm on 360. MasterBraude. Message me if you're on 360, and we'll get you started the proper way, mate! Best of luck to you! May the darkness soon whimper at the sounds of your mag reloading, as it does with so many of us.

Well you picked the right class
