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.

Edited by Sibark: 7/29/2014 5:29:42 AMMy friend had a 0.30 K/D his first match, so I told him try to sit back or use your teammates (Lol) to get kills. An example being one of my friends loves to charge at the enemy players, so he would just follow him and throw grenades for kills. He would stay back more and go between objectives we owned to secure kills with scout rifles and snipers. I like to do both styles, if I know I'm up against players who are decent I tend to stay back and let them come to me while I patrol two objectives, and if they're players I know I can take 90% of the time, I'll go wherever I think they would spawn. It all boils down to playing and gaining the experience from it, you'll notice maybe after a day, a week, or even a month. You'll start to pay more attention to the radar, remember the players you're facing, remember the class abilities, know how to use the weapons etc.) In my opinion the difference between a good player and a great player is simply thought process and reaction time. Both those can't be taught, they're learned by your own playstyle, I wish you the best of luck though in the Crucibles of the future. -P.S- A little self promotion here, I stream every now and then and have some Destiny gameplay on my twitch channel if you ever wanna pick apart my games or ask any questions, you can message me if you want to know it / or have specific questions.
