play with me and I guarantee you won't be mvp

Come talk to me when your k/d is Past 184. Hint: look at my warlock.... [spoiler]wow so many people took this as a serious comment! Now I will be very forward with all of you, [b]THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A JOKE![/b] Hopefully I have made my self clear. Probably not though, I bet [i]zShankedz[/i] will still take this as a serious comment and call me a "retard". [/spoiler]

Go back to xbox we playstation players got lives

I have noticed the same thing. I joined the PSN now after 10 years of playing the Halo franchise. The Shields and such subtle things like the amount of melee-dmg it takes to score a kill feels very halo-esque. This is probably something that PS-users will have to get used to while people like you and me know how to move and jump around in order to not get melee'd and little things like that. (Halo 2's BXB taught me this for life, haha) My K/D in Halo games was always around 1.5 to 1.6 and now I have a K/D of 2.9 on my hunter and 2.3 on my warlock and there is rarely ever a game in which I don't have one of the top 3 scores. To all those who say K/D doesn't matter in the control gametype: it does. Also: I get all these kills by running around from point to point and clearing the areas of people. Getting the extra score for capping is just a bonus. Your point about PS-players coming mostly from the CoD region seems about right. The worst problems they have to deal with is probably aiming for the head - and getting around the shield.

I don't know about all of that, OP. But I have been watching whats been broadcasting on Twitch... and most of those people suck. Badly. Actually, most of the people I have been watching run the PvP on Twitch... they talk a huge game, but they couldn't be any worse if they tried. I mean, one guy's channel was him talking a huge game (while he played mind you) about how he was nuking bitches and owning everybody. The video stream showed the exact opposite happening. I went through channel after channel of this shit. Now, don't get me wrong. There were a couple of streams (by 'a couple' I mean two...) where the broadcaster was actually as good as he said he was. That's great. But it occurs to me that this is a visual representation of an idea similar to what the OP brought up. Not that PS players are worse simply because of their system, that would be a retarded idea. But the idea of people vastly overselling their ability, then being dumb enough to stream evidence that they're nothing more than liars. And bad ones at that. That humors me greatly.

Maybe you could try being less dependent on the interceptor for soft kills?

Its possible that because everyone is pretty much capped at the same level, and we are all stuck at the same phase of progression in the beta, the crucible can't match us up against other skilled players with similar stats. Just a guess, I'm in the same boat as you though buddy. MLG contender in my halo days. Psn - MIKES_TOO_STRONG

[b]People may want to read this:[/b] [b]IMO:[/b] many players on both PSN and XBL will learn to adapt to Bungie's new IP (Destiny). Of course readers believing the stereotype that XBL players are more competitive than PSN players is understandable, due to the last generation console (Xbox 360) being home to successful FPS/3PS franchises such as Halo and Gears of War. After saying that though, it would be good to point out that many XBL players have broken away and transitioned to PSN this console generation. Continuing to say that XBL is home to the best FPS/3PS competitors is more so a thing of the past. Most titles being released this generation will be multi-platform due to the consoles similar architecture (Destiny for example). Bungie has managed to create the face of competitive gaming via the Master Chief, but now is no longer held hostage beneath Microsoft. Give things time and let players play beyond the Beta. Playstation 4 sales have been incredible in comparison to the Xbox One (Fact). I believe that it is safe to say that a good portion of Destiny pre-orders will be coming from the PSN community come this Fall (More players = More healthy and substantial competition). Competitive gaming breeds competitive players. With a vast increase in population, I expect only the best from Sony's very successful platform (Playstation 4) and PSN. [b]Note:[/b] Incase people decide to argue or challenge this post. I have been consistent across both platforms (Xbox/Playstation). MVP = MVP (IMO) regardless of competitive gaming stereotypes and semantics. If someone is decent/good at FPS/3PS games, then they will most likely continue being decent/good at FPS/3PS games. Coming from someone who has recently transitioned consoles for the first time in 13 years (Been playing Halo since it's release in 2001).

if all your worried about is K/D ratio and your not playing a 'team deathmatch' style game then you got it all wrong. but yeah shotty and melee all day will get your k/d pretty high....seems to be same strat in halo

K/D doesn't really determine whether your a "good" player. It's the overall contribution to your team. Plus, just because the ps doesn't have halo, doesn't mean it's less competitive. I've played halo and was averaging bout the same I do on the ps. The whole xbox is more competitive is really just an opinion and not a fact anyways.

I'm a ps player and while I do come out on top often enough would you care to share some tips from the halo gen?

Most PSN users are COD players so with Destiny being totally different I'm sure some are trying to get use to the unfamiliar mechanics. I'm sure over time the skill gap will start to shrink.

Did you actually try to take the objectives or just run around trying to get kills like i seen so many people do. Its so frustrating to be taking an objective and your teammates just run off trying to get kills. So yeah you can have a big kill ratio but are you actually trying to be a team player and win the round?
