Slow is smooth; smooth is fast (Destiny)

Not exactly spoilers, but strategy is discussed in a way that is somewhat specific.

Don't get sloppy or greedy; in that extra half-second of poking out of cover when you've pulled agro, a direct boss hit could down you. That costs your team several seconds of damage dealing, plus giving up position and time to revive you. These fights are meant to take discipline and tactics, and going lone wolf will be punished.

One other thing: in some encounters, hanging back and picking off enemies at a distance will be severely punished. I think this is exquisite game design; that tactic is a bit too simple and obvious, so I'm glad Bungie discouraged it. If you haven't seen this, you'll know it when you do. Be brave.
