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.

  • You're not doing anything wrong. It's a crap PvP game, sad to say. Sad to say considering Bungie made Halo, which was one of the best and my favorite competitive shooters ever. Destiny just isn't a PvP game. Weapons will never be truly balanced. Subclasses with basically unlimited grenades and insta-kill abilities. Too many small maps that don't allow diversity in weapon choice (although I still stubbornly snipe and use a scout). It's overall just a bad experience. You can outplay people all you want. All they have to do though is force CQC and shoot you with a shotgun for a one hit kill at an exceptionally long range, or use something like a super. Miss the halo days. Fair fight, ammo and grenade count that had to be monitored, well made maps that catered to all play styles, and people who could outplay and outsmart would always come out on top. I used to be able to burst fire the AR so well that I was getting consistent kills at mid range lol. Now I can do the same with any AR.. Cuz there's no bloom when you are able to ADS..
