I Really Need Some Help
Here's the situation. I would like to get better at the Crucible. I'm not really talking about K/D ratio. I just want to actually be a viable asset to the team instead of another target for the enemy team. I'm a level 31 Warlock who can't seem to hit the broad side of a barn, much less a moving target. No matter what sensitivity I put my controller to, I seem to be unable to get a pin-point shot. Once the gun is firing (no matter the type) it seems like the gun is going to go EVERYWHERE ELSE but where I put it. If my try to make a slight adjustment to a target that strafes, my controller seems to scream "YOU WANTED TO GO AAAAALLLLL THE WAY TO THE LEFT RIGHT????!!!" My melee is TERRIBLE!! No, I'm serious. I have been killed by other warlocks with ONE HIT but I cannot EVER seem to do that to anyone, including lower level warlocks. My melee charges fairly quickly, so I'm not sure what it is. I really don't want to go for the tired tropes of "The game is cheating" or "The other team is cheating" so I'm going to assume it's me. Once in a while, I'll be on point with about 12 kills and 5 deaths. (for me this is fine). But most games, I have about 25 assist, 4 kills, 9 deaths. I use a range of weapons because nothing has worked consistantly for me since I've been playing. However I have an Ice Breaker, Suros Regime, Serpentine Rapier, Badger and a few other max leveled guns and they offer me no increase of kills. I would really like someone to give me some tips. Is there a way to improve my aim on the PS3? Besides the Thorn (which I don't have) what guns should I be using? I say the thorn because I have been killed today alone by a LOT of Thorns in about 3 shots. As a dad who works most of the time, I really don't want a game I paid 100 dollars for to just be another game that I have no chance at getting even half-way decent at. Thanks for any assist with this.

This is going to be somewhat long. I was horrible at pvp until iron banner and my thorn bounty, since then I have become ok. First sensitivity: If you have an extremely sensitive controller, twitch reflexes and lots of experience at high level pvp go for a high sensitivity (6 or up). If not I would start off at about a 3-4 and experiment. It takes an estimated 20 hours of game play for muscle memory to adjust to a new sensitivity level, so pick something that feels natural and go with it. High sensitivity works well with shotgun type builds where you are doing a lot of in close hip fire. Lower sensitivity works best with long range weapons like a scout rifle or sniper. Strafing: in pve you can afford to stand still, in pvp you need to constantly move of you are easy prey. Use the right pad to adjust your aim for your movement using the left pad. Also a general rule of thumb; use the right pad for large movements, and the left pad for small horizontal movements. If you are at the right height and need to adjust your aim right or left just a tad? Strafe, don't adjust your reticle. Weapon choice: find a playstyle that works well for you and choose weapons which compliment it. Do not get a random legendary and try to make it work. Decde how you are gonna play and go looking for guns that preform well within that style. Do you like up close battles? Look at handcannons, shotguns and maybe fusion rifles. Mid range? Autorifles, handcannons and fusion rifles work well but pulse rifles are king at this range. Long range? Scout rifles and snipers. Do you take that extra quarter second to line up a headshot instead of just pulling the trigger right away? Look at handcannons. Do you not care about some rounds missing so long as most hit the target? Autorifles work well. These are just some examples. Don't let your guns determine your playstyle, let your playstyle determine your gun load out. Do not be afraid to make mistakes. This is how we all learn. Do not be afraid to run away if an engagement heavily favors the enemy. Also, there is nothing wrong with few kills and lots of assists. The enemy gets points for killing you, so long as you keep your deaths down and score points you have done your job in the match.
