What type of destiny PVPer are you? To find out, I've broken down what I think are the most common PVP playstyles at the moment. This is just so the community can see what best to expect in the crucible!
Here are my descriptions of each playstyle:
[u]The Noob[/u]
You are quite new and unfamiliar to the crucible, you use the weapons you scavenged from your travels and decided to check out the PvP side of destiny. You don't usually win games, but every match is a learning experience, preparing yourself for the journey ahead. [i]Also affiliated with the "casul" players, they tend to get a lot of hate from the rest of the community. Frequently crying in the corner after being told to "git gud scrub" they fall victim to the arseholes of the community. [/i]
[u]The Camper[/u]
Packing a Patience and Time and a scout rifle, you sit at the back of the map, awaiting your prey to line themselves into your sights. Unsure of how to use the left thumbstick, you net the lowest kills but highest K/D, feeling pleasure as your victims enact their rage through hate-mail.
[u]The Handcannon[/u]
He who aims shall prevail, you have taken an affinity to the Handcannon, gracing the battlefield with your finese and slight of hand. Making every shot count and watching heads role you frequent the battlefield with the Thorn, Last Word or Hawkmoon, pummelling your enemies with an onslaught of unfair advantages.
[u]The Shotgun[/u]
Having discovered the high-calibre power of the Shotgun, you have cast aside any notion of a primary weapon. You sprint the battlefield, boomstick in hand looking for unsuspecting targets to obliterate with a single shot. [i]Master of the close quarters, the shotgun is sometimes hung up and replaced with a fusion rifle, extending the one-shot party across range.[/i]
[u]The Rambo[/u]
Machine gun in hand, you scream "Prevail or DIE!" as you sprint into unyielding groups of enemies to eradicate them seconds later. You rush without thought for anything but the mission and typically use Auto or Pulse Rifles paired with Heavy Machineguns to eliminate any trace of your adversaries.
[u]The Ninja[/u]
Using stealth as an art form, you take down foes with an unyielding finese. Striking without being seen you don invisibility and a tool of your choice to eradicate an unsuspecting guardian. You move when you see a chance, attack seen yet unseen and destroy the enemy forces before they have time to react. [i]Using your unholy amount of map knowledge, you can lock down areas and turn the tide of spawns at your will. Causing the enemies to move where you want them to, funneling them into their demise.[/i]
[u]The "Pro"[/u]
You use tactical thinking and battle strategy to completely destroy your foes without them even standing a chance. You choose the best weapon for the situation, adapting where necessary and following the plan to the letter. You are the person who goes flawless without exploiting the game, and are best suited to championships. [i]Also affiliated with lesser players wishing to feel good about themselves, the pro is often a guise of the skillless and a cloak to hide their shame.[/i]
So which type of PvPer are you? If you feel you are a mix, post the one you have the most affinity to and reply with your combination!
If I had to say what type of PvPer I was, I'd say I was a Handcannon/Pro combination. But I'd lean more towards handcannon!
Edit: seems like I should have added a Jack of all Trades choice! Post down below if you feel this way!
Edit: done some more tweaking to some of the descriptions! All in [i]Italics[/i]
Edit: its nice to see that there aren't that many people who would consider themselves a "camper" :D either the community is lying or we have finally moved on from the CoD dark ages :P
Edit: well we made it to 200 replies, I've officially won the Internet and beaten my previous best for amount of replies by about 198, so thanks alot guys! :D
Edit: I've finally finished my second poll, so tell me; what type of raider are you?!

2 RepliesEdited by Prisoner_8490: 4/7/2015 1:14:23 AMLOL at the handcannon percentage, really goes to show how overused and powerful the exotic hand cannons are

2 RepliesYours... not mine bitches.

Depending on the map: Gheleons Demise Plan C Valedictorian MIDA Found Verdict Valedictorian Not that it matters. Generally mediocre or worse with occasional unexplainable matches of "how the heck did I end up on top and why can't I do that more consistently? "
-
I feel like I'm a mix of Rambo and ninja. I try to pay close attention to spawns and control points, and tend to wait at choke points, but I love going Rambo sometimes with my machine gun
-
Where would Red Death and the Calcutta LR2 put me? I don't use bladedancer and I stay mobile for the most part. The Calcutta LR2's scope is perfect for mid range sniping.
-
Hand Cannon most of the time for me.
-
Wheres the "sniper" option? Because sniping and camping are 2 completely different things. I snipe. Find a hide and take out s few enemies and, if i haven't been found and killed yet, move to another vantage point and continue with thia until i die.
-
Knife weilding Brawler.... rush in toss down arcbolt grenade then stab and slash. Shotgunner sliding at me...blink strike him, sometimes he dies and sometimes me and occasionally we both die. Scout or AR w/Fusion or Shotgun, occasionally Sniper Rifle, and Against All Odds LMG, occasionally Truth or Valedictorian. Always looking for the melee kill....I am just a stabaholic.
-
Hand Cannon+Throwing Knife
-
I like to think of myself as one of the Rayman bunnies, just running aimlessly around using my scout, sniper, and shoty to battle as the situation prevails. Sometimes it works gloriously and sometimes not haha.
-
I think that hawkmoons secret perk is The bonus damage shots don't expend if you don't hit your target.
-
Depending on the map, everything but the noob and camper. I snipe but I don't camp.
-
I'm not a Noob, but I'm not a Pro either. Yeah, I change gun load-outs depending on the map or opponents, but I'm not good enough to win every time... Can I just be a Semi-Pro? Or something in between?
-
5 RepliesI'm the Knight. I use certain weapons Such as the hand cannon and shotgun or as I call them Rapier and main Guche. I don't fancy stupid magic such as fusion rifles.

Edited by TnT o0: 4/7/2015 1:04:50 AMIf you pick Pro, like I did, you know you're all of the above, except noob. You think tactically and adjust your play style to counter your opponent or to help your team win. I think majority of destiny players (not including all the noobs, they are the real majority) are Shotty, Camp.
-
I smell a fire..... I know a lot more people run around with shotgun than this
-
This wasn't necessary because its obvious that the majority will be [spoiler]shotguns [/spoiler] P.S. I don't fit into any of them.
-
I like using hand canons in the crucible but my skills aren't great. I'm guilty of using Thorn , but I recently got my Hawkmoon maxed out. So I've been using Hawkmoon for now.
-
Pro/camper. Someone who sits back with red death and if being rushed, felwinters lie all day. I use against all odds for my heavy but I sit back with it too.
