Glad to meet a fellow "senior" gamer lol. Im 38 and do well in crucible but I get what your saying. Ive had a substantial amount of pvp experience in my life so trust me when I tell you that you need two things to do well, a good team and a style of play that matches your skill level. If you had a good team, green bars across the map, and a patient sniper with a "following" mentality, you would do great in connection based pvp. Let the young quick guys do the twitch movement, up close and personal killing. You just hang back and keep the young guys alive by assisting them when they become inevitably in over their head. Find a good team and you will see your stats go through the roof.
