Yeah, the meat is really in the Crucible Preview (Destiny)

Which is fair, I think, as that is what was communicated. So if you aren't a huge fan of PvP, the update changed a few little things, and gave some light fare, but your meal comes on the 15th.

For me, I could play Rift and Mayhem for lots and lots of hours... I have only had about 3 hours since 2.0 dropped, but could easily play all weekend.

Even without the new game types, there is a background game happening where I am trying to remaster weapons in the crucible with the balance that happened... Turns out The Last Word mastery I had was my crutch. Sub note, in my group of 4-5 guys I play with several of the guys who routinely get sub 1.0 to 1.2 K/D's seemed to be thriving in the Crucible (going 4.0+ and 5.0+ a few times) in matches where I sucked it up (typically, 19 out of 20 matches I would score above these guys). So it seems to me, if you didn't like PvP before, it's worth giving a shot to this week! A great and effective playstyle is to play smart and cautious (keep distance) with a scout rifle or high stability pulse.

Also, as others have noted, your choices of weapon in the Crucible matter, no one size fits all encounter's weapons. With everyone adjusting to this, if you just pick a type of encounter to engage in, and pick weapons that match that encounter, you should do muy bueno in the Crucible. Good time for reentry or a fresh start.
