MIDA is underrated as hell. There was a guy in banner I played with a few times who was just destroying fools, including me.
I couldn't out-range him because I suck at sniping (and pvp in general) and had no scout with me. Not that it would have helped because he was so good with it and had that spot back behind C flag on Shores of Time on Venus.
I couldn't get close enough to him to use a close range piece like a shotgun or normal fusion rifle.
Obviously the ADS radar was/is a huge, HUGE advantage in PVP. I don't care what anyone says about just dropping out of ADS, when you can stay in the whole time and still see the radar, and not be distracted by having to drop in and out, especially in one of those positions that every map on destiny seems to have multiple of, where you can get people on radar long before they visually see you, and you know which direction/hole/hallway they will be coming through, but they don't know where you are in the room, you can get that first shot or two on them before they even really get their sites on you, it's just a slaughterhouse.
Finally was able to sneak closer while he was engaged with some of the randoms on my team and got him one time with Pocket Infinity just for my pride but that doesn't really count.
Of course like 30 seconds later he is back there doing it again, I just left him alone.
It's the fire rate that really makes it. I was surprised how fast he could kill with it.
Pretty sure he never even used any other weapon the whole match, he killed me like 4-5 times and every time is was MIDA.
That changed my opinion of it and I already liked it, I just got a second one dropped and I'm keeping it with one of my alts.
Anyway besides that I have a Gheleons Demise with explosive rounds and third eye that I like, and a badger CCL with third eye that is quite good.

Well I must tip my hat and thank you because you made me realize how -blam!-ing amazing the MIDA is and how ignorant the people who say "MIDA sucks" and talked so many people out of buying it from Xur when they had the chance. I must have heard that conversation 3-4 times that weekend and at least two on my friends list are still hoping for one Just heard a raid friend say he only uses it for the lamps for the agility and I tried to tell him he's missing out, especially since he is a mid-long range guy in pvp and PVE with hand cannons and snipers, but he wouldn't listen. So did you just stumble upon that strategy or how did it happen ?

I don't take pvp very seriously except iron banner and yea I just kinda stumbled on mida. It was in my vault a long time as a 300 weapon until finally when xur sold the upgrade for it mida became my favorite exotic primary in pvp and pve Your friend is right about the crota lamp phase, mida is ideal for that checkpoint It's great for all pve too though
