The Thorn bounty is teaching me to love PVP (Destiny)

That's good to hear!

I am not good at the Crucible at all, but I love it. And you're right, approaching it like Halo is bound to get you killed. I had/have the same problem. In Halo, you could charge headlong into any situation, and come out okay if you were decent.

In Destiny, that's bound to get you killed with nothing to show for it. It plays entirely differently, which surprised me. Granted, Halo very much rewards planning and patience, and high levels of play I'm sure that is required. But in normal day to day matchmaking, you can get by just by being aggressive. That just plain doesn't work at all in Destiny (at least for me; maybe it would if I had a higher skill level).

Despite being bad at it, I like the dynamic of Destiny's PvP. I do still find myself playing it too much like Halo too often, but I'm slowing weaning myself out of that style.
