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?!

-
And shotgunner
-
-
Lol definitely Rambo. I usually have the most kills and sort of a middle K/D
-
im a mix between three the ninja the rambo and the shotgun

Edited by Fenris_811: 5/11/2015 5:39:05 PMHmm handcannon, ninja. You should put tactician in there too. Someone who tactically takes the correct control points for a map and runs between the 2 trying to hold them for the score modifiers. Also trying (in vain I might add) to stop the noob from taking the other point.

Rambo hand cannoning shotgunner who snags the heavy ammo as soon as it drops. :)

Edited by DARKBORN BUDDHA: 4/11/2015 10:29:40 PMTitan defender is an underrated pvp style Ive been using my bubble to support my team by maxing the bubble time & the shield you get by passing through it...I also have the glasshouse so that helps Ive noticed people catch onto it being a shield giving bubble and they come back to it to reshield themselves. Ill place it somewhere where its easy for everyone to get a piece So basically I got my whole team with mobile shielding....its a serious benefit for the team and ive seen it pull games from the brink of loss. You also get some extra points for "support"...not much, just 15 points but its more of a nod for helping out. When I pop it ill hang back and get the maximum life out of it ...dying doesnt help... Scout rifles help with this When im solo I use the bubble as a "home base" to reshield myself and venture out from...never going to far but just enough

Ninja sans the invisibility. I run warlock but clear rooms before they know what happen. Rarely get in a situation I can't run from and change to make my advantage. If someone gets the jump on me I'm dead usually
-
Hand Cannon and Pro. But with a little bit of shotgun in there
-
The Sniper
-
Definitely noob. Only pvp for exotic bounties and then leave as soon as the bounty is complete even if it is 30 seconds into a new game.
-
Mix of Rambo and shotgun and noob
-
Shores of Time is the one map where I really camp. I got so pissed off with dying to snipers all the time that I now hide in A once we take it and sit there defending it
-
I usually just play Skirmish now and when I do, my friends and I go triple Titan Defender with Alpha Lupi and there's no way the other team stands a chance.
-
I just strafe around with a scout rifle but im not stealthy or tactical But im not new....
-
I'm a camper and I'm proud! Why run into enemies when the enemies run to you?

The sometimes godly pvper. My KD was always over 7 when I did the thorn bounty, but without something to work toward my kd is garbage
-
Edited by CookieSquirrel: 4/8/2015 12:26:18 AMI'm that one guy who will always save you at the last second, or sit in your spawn zone and tear your team apart while my team captures or crushes. Edit: Sit in the spawn zone meaning dancing and jumping around, rather than literally sitting

Handcannon I guess, I haven't used a thorn since it had 300 attack max. I favor a few scouts as well,
