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.

  • I've only recently started PvP last sunday and today. What I do find is the matchmaking seems to be all over the place. KD ranging from 0.3 to 3.0...... Also mainly playing control so at least I know where the enemy are. From my COD days learning the maps was as important as which weapon/loadout to have. However a good shotgun is essential, there is a lot of CQC on Destiny. I agree in that getting 1 shotted is FRUSTRATING however I'm putting that down to naivety over guns as even 1 shotting some one in the face with a fully upgraded shotgun don't always work Stay with your team,walk don't run stay crouched as much as possible and learn maps and choke points.......well that's how I'm going to do it Can't advise on weapons the THORN is good, but you have to be accurate so try and find a good AR, SUROS is fine,Abyss defiant I've had success with. But its up to you, don't forget about nades and special always come in handy. Good Luck and I'll meet ya in the middle !
