Beta PvP (Destiny)

I wanted a thread devoted to PvP in the Beta, since frankly, that's all I care about. Sadly, all I have is a list of gripes.

• Hunters feel weaker than ever before. No blink strike. A practically useless Golden Gun. Awesome. But at least we all get dodge, right?
  
• The radar is more useless than ever. So glad they got rid of the elevation information. As if there was an overload of information before.
  
• Sniping sucks. I'm pretty sure everyone else is happy, but given that I've run NLB/sidearm (and the sidearms I've gotten suck, too) exclusively for the better part of a year, it really sucks to know I may only get a handful of chances to even do it. Ever. It's a joke. God, I miss Y1 Destiny and ammo. Now I legitimately have to defer power ammo to someone who wants to play with something more practical, or who is superiorly skilled. Way to kill the fun, Bungie. Let's have less people participate, feel powerful, etc. Good job.
  
• I know people think 6v6 is too many. But number discrepancies/AFKs are far worse to experience in 4v4s. In 6's, a person missing from action was only a 16.7% difference. Now, it's a 25% difference. Also, there's no where to hide a bad player. Because they make up a greater portion of the team, their poor performance is a bigger factor. Which leads to.
  
• Solo play sucks even more. "Well, play with friends Beard!", I hear you say. To which I say, "I'm on the West Coast, which has a smaller number of players around to play by the time I'm ready. You East Coasters are going to bed before I'm done with dinner."
  
• That nova bomb is a f&*king joke. http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/BeardFade/video/34321862

Honestly, I love playing with y'all, but they are killing the fun out of PvP for any of us who aren't God-like players.
