Although to be fair, one of the challenges of doing this is the fact that there are room clearing supers. StormCaller, SunBreaker, NovaBomb, maybe BladeDancer (but is much weaker than the other three).

But honestly, holing up someplace that forces a choke point on the opponent is fantastic strategy if you can get multiple teammates to stick to it. In my experience, ain't never gonna happen. People love to run around and jump to much to play with strategic intent.

Ok, you're running right at me? I guess I'll just use my fusion rifle while you try and get into range.

This is exactly what I hope to do when I try out supremacy (or whatever it's called).

My problem is that a fusion rifle doesn't cut it when you have 2 or 3 shotgun-wielding enemies storming towards at the same time. I'll often kill 1 of them, then gen blasted before I have time to kill another or retreat. They deny their fallen teammate's orb, and capture mine. Happened to me non-stop on tuesday night.

It sounds like you are playing 1v3. Have you considered someone watching your back?

I have certainly considered it. My teammates, on the other hand, seem to have a knack for setting up great defensive positions with me, then bailing for no reason as soon as the fighting starts. So many people seem to spend their time aimlessly running around maps, or throwing themselves into the same death-pit choke points over and over and over. Really, I just need to try playing with friends instead of randos :)

Yep, no matter what gun you're using, you'd still get overrun in that situation.

Loved me some King of the Hill back in the day.

It's weird, I'll get 10 more kills in a match when I use a shotgun, but I honestly feel worse about it because it doesn't "feel" like it requires as much skill as getting a head shot with a sniper rifle.

To me, shotguns make the game fast, since you have to constantly move and close in on your target, but speed isn't what excites me about Crucible. I'd rather out duel someone, or out snipe someone, than just chase and shotgun people.

A bunch of us played together last night and had a great time. If you don't run with a shotgun, keep your distance, stick with a friend (do this all the time anyways) and get teamshots. Also, don't run into an open area to grab a crest if you're just going to die and give up your own crest.

I hate CoD Multiplayer with a passion. However, I always enjoyed Kill Confirm as a gametype. I'm actually looking forward to trying this out.

In theory, I love the gametype. It's just the way the gametype combines with the maps and Destiny's sandbox that adds up to a steaming hot pile of trash, IMO ;)

I'll have to report back after giving it a shot.
