Help with Crucible (Destiny)

Play it safe with a sniper in Control. I don't enjoy Crucible that much either (much more of a PvE guy), nor am I that good with a sniper rifle (mostly 2-shot kills), but I found this bounty to be pretty easy. Most of my matches I earned 30-35 void points with around a +15 kill-to-death difference. Stay near the control points that your team has taken (preferably by special ammo drops) and find clear lines of sight toward the other control points. Save your Super for when guys get close to you. I also made use of a void rocket launcher when I could, but the sniper was my main tool.

When I started, I was given the advice of using a fusion rifle or shotgun, but I found I was mostly just trading kills that way or maybe getting two for each death. Hanging back with a sniper was clearly more effective for me for the bounty, and it usually put me in the middle of the pack score-wise, so I wasn't letting my team down by not capturing points.
