Crucible - please kill me now. Too late, I'm already dead. (Destiny)

I've had the same experiences. It can be fun at times but more frustrating than any of the halo games. I'm not adjusting the to nuances very well. And I typically just give a 'sigh' when the moon map comes up.
The maps are beautiful but I'm not thrilled with the design. I typically like clear lines of site rather than tight areas, but with everyone having a sniper to start I see a faint glow in the distance and then start the re-spawn wheel again...

It might be a personal thing for me though. I'm not a huge fan of the control game type. It just feels like I'm so distracted with the announcer telling me which zones are lost or gained. A lot more on the HUD as well. I prefer the CTF or slayer games, and maybe the 3 vs 3 hopper will work out well.

I was told by a Bungie employee that there is no skill matching at all in the beta. I really hope that improves my experience. And there aren't custom games in the shipping game (though they will try to add it later like TitanFall) - still a bummer.

Overall, I love the concept of this game. All the little things to do and discover and such a great mix of all the things I enjoy about other types of games. (On the moon today I veered off from the mission and found endless areas to explore...very exciting to find out what's around the next corner).

I'll play a lot of the full version of Destiny. But if the crucible doesn't improve it will feel like a let down.
