About last night (Destiny)

It's all good man. I was getting a little irritated and I do apologize, sometimes I get caught up in everything and forget, its just a game. I don't really think weapon choice was the biggest problem you were having, but just being rusty. I haven't seen you on much here lately, that seems to be the way it is for everyone lately, myself included. I think we definitely were at our best in terms of winning towards the beginning of our run. After about our 5th win on our second card, the redbull couldn't save me from the fatigue that was setting in. Long story short, I think if we play together more, and just slow things down, we will be fine. Most of the teams we lost to were our fault. That last team was good, but we had alot of missed opportunities to beat them. Also hammerbro didn't help. ( I know what I'm using next time!)

As far as weapons go, pulse rifles are the best all around right now. The villainy is OK, but the vendor roll hawksaw is much better IMO. Even though it appears to be shooting everywhere, even at range I am consistently landing all of my hits. Hawksaw is better than Nirwen's up close, but overall Nirwen's mercy wins. (obviously it will be a pain for you to get one without doing IB). Jade rabbit is also really good, it shines at range when you have the jump on someone, plus with good impact the body shot damage is great. Jade rabbit fails 1v1 where the enemies is actively hitting you, the impact of their shots and this gun just dont allow me to reliably hit them. That being said, I CAN kill 1v1 often, but its not as intuitive as other weapons. Another weapon that looks good, with the right rolls, is the .25 spare change. Recently, I have been using The Last Word. Year 1 I never touched it, but I gave it a go, and love it. The ADS is less than reliable, but using it with hipfire as intended, makes this gun a truck. I would not recommend it in trials until you get the feel for it, but once/if you do, it opens up alot of options for you. For me it works great in combo with my sniping, I am not sure the benefit would be the same if you were using a shotgun/fusion rifle because you wont have any range.

Secondaries depend on your skillset. If you are comfortable sniping consistently the Stillpiercer is my go to. For other classes 1000-Yard stare is the way to go. Both are high impact models, so you can snipe people in the rez animation. The rest of pretty much self explanatory, you need the right rolls. Fusion rifles suck for me, you seem to do well with them however. Shotguns are probably a better alternative to the fusion rifles however. Conspiracy theory D (the one you get from completing main quests) is great. Range finder makes it a beast. Its feels similiar to felwinters. I have also had alot of luck with the vendor Patch-A. Party crashers have year 2 variants, so if you can land a decent one of those youll be set.

All in all, last night got a little stressful for me. My skills steeply declined about an hour into our run, mostly from fatigue, partly from overplaying last night. Don't be so hard on yourself, and I apologize for any irritation I may have displayed, it wasn't warranted. Keep at it, and I am sure we will be back on top in no time. It is worth noting, we beat alot of good teams, all of our games were well deserved wins. They did not want to die easily.

Also no more charging on heavy round.....
