Well once you get to Level 20 it becomes the standard grinding game to get better gear. It just sucks when no matter what way you go you still have to do PVP to get the legendary weapons unless you can fluke one from an engram. Yeah, not gonna do PVP. It isn't fun.

I only did it to get the Control capture zone bounty. Other than that I just do other missions with my friends. If I want the exotic weapon bounty I need to get a 25 difference between my kills & deaths which I don't see happening.

Yeah, I kill one person per game if I'm lucky.
There's just absolutely no way I can squeak any semblance of fun out of PVP, so it's strictly PVE for me. Whatever I can't get, I don't need.

Purple engram! Purple engram....... Blue item. Goddamniteverytime. I just got my first, and sure as shit, two blue items, a LMG and a pulse rifle. My two least favorite weapons in the game. At least I have a killer shotgun, but I really want a new blue scout rifle.

Pulse rifles make me want to punch babies, I swear by the hand cannons to the point where I immediately dismantle anything that isn't a hand cannon.
Obviously, at this level... if I get a legendary weapon I'll keep it regardless, cuz it's good to keep some variety at endgame.
But up to now, it's hand cannon or nothing.

All scout rifles for me. I always keep a handcannon though.

I should give a hand cannon a go at some point, I'm using an auto rifle, sniper & rpg mainly.

I just got my first blue primary that wasn't a pulse rifle. It was a hand cannon, so I will be trying it. On the plus side it is an 11 round gun.

I use auto rifle most of the time as it's the only gun I've had success with in the crucible.
The crucible's fun, by the way, but really broken. Instant kills all over the place.

I remember the PvP was shite in the beta, I think I got one kill, then got mobbed mercilessly by people with way better weaponry and in vehicles. Really, PvP rarely ends well in these kinds of games.

It's one of those games where when you're doing really good you feel really good, but when you're doing bad you hate the game, you hate the people you're playing with and you wanna blame the game for your shortcomings.
Mixing magic spells with shooters is always tough, it can get pretty frustrating when you run into a streak where it seems like everyone has their specials. I make things harder on myself by mostly using pistols and only using my special (golden gun) on a need-to basis (basically vehicles). I'm really my own worst enemy in games like this but it's fun with a group.

PVP has been so hit and miss for me. Gave it a try early on and was put off by a combo of my crappy weapons, level and skill. Finally reached Level 20, tried again and had more fun - until today where everyone I come into contact with seems to be able to take me out in one shot with any weapon type.
f*** it, I'll stick to the Strike playlist.

Just reached the last part of the Queen's kill order for the Story Challenge and a friend invites me to a Fireteam. Didn't realise the game would just pull me out of my current mission and back to Orbit without hesitation. For f***'s sake...

The update making purple stuff come out of purple engrams is really helpful now.
I got a Legendary shotgun the other day plus I finally got an Exotic Bounty that didn't include PVP.

got a couple of exotic weapons, one from a random reward after a strike (which requires 500 grenade points from pvp/crucible which resets after each death.) and a sniper rifle from a pvp/crucible reward which I could use right away.
after buying a helmet, gauntlet & chest armour I get two helmets and a gauntlet from a few purple & blue engrams.
the multiplayer/deathmatch is really really broken still.

Bahaha, I just got messaged to tell me that "players like me are ruining the game" - by trying to speed through a strike. When you constantly get the Mars strike as you work towards doing 25 strikes for an exotic bounty, you're gonna WANT to get through it as quick as possible.

Yes the PVP is horrible I have barely touched it. I prefer doing the story, bounties & raids with my friends on the 360.
