I tried Crucible in the weekend, and had a great time. I started off at the bottom of the table, but after about 6 games I was getting in the middle of the scoreboard, Its was awesome. I got a first blood medal and took out 4 peeps in a row with a machine gun. I found if you just chill and take it easy you end up with a good score - rather than rushing in and getting whacked straight away. Ended up with 36 crucible marks for a few hours play. Really enjoyed it. Its a good time to get into crucible because there are loads of noobs like me around after the patch - makes it a lot more equal and easy to improve. Its a bi like the beta of the game. - lots of new players around. Its a pretty even playing field. Give it a go - a decent go! And then it opens up a whole different area of the game for you.
