The Crucible: My Opinion

It seems like 80% of the time I'm killed by an enemy, it's from the use of heavy ammo, a Super, a shotgun, a fusion rifle, a random grenade or a Titan's one-hit-kill melee attack. It may be that I'm just not used to the many ways of gaining the advantage, I'm not sure, but I am having a rough time. I feel as though finding success in Destiny's Crucible goes hand-in-hand with accepting the fact that you're going to have to play a certain way, because knowing the maps and being good with a controller, just doesn't cut it. Bottom line: the Supers are too easy to acquire, heavy ammo almost always goes to the team who's already winning, and there are just too many ways for players to gain huge advantages over other players. We can't all use shotguns and fusion rifles. To me, Crucible feels a lot like the PVP in the Resistance series...and who's playing that right now? On the other hand, maybe I just need a bit more practice. But I think my FPS skills, at the very least, are already pretty respectable.

  • The exotic Thorn bounty taught me to be a more defensive player, and that improved my K/D ratio. Now I stick to Control and hang back behind cover with a scout rifle as my primary (Vision of Confluence) and mix it up between a sniper or shotgun for secondary depending on the map. Hanging out at a distance from a Control point but with a decent line of sight, you can set the pace for the engagements. It is also a good idea to maintain a presence near the heavy ammo so that you are positioned to get some every time. Then tested my old playstyle of running and gunning charging Control points with my shotgun, focusing on quick reaction time. That style just doesn't work in Destiny. Better to take a mid-range defensive approach if you care about K/D.
