The short answer is yes. If this game is as promising as it looks, then I believe a lot of good, competitive players from halo will make the switch to destiny, causing a new dark age for all the thumbless players with no hand-eye coordination. Muahahaahhaaa
Prepare yourselves.

Question: Screw you, I have the answer. Nice thread, ahahaha. Essentially, yes, skill transfers pretty good from game to game. Skilled players are good because they are smart, they understand game mechanics, can devise strategies which utilize game mechanics. They learn the maps and understand where to position themselves to have cover and great lines of sight. On top of that, they have good hand/eye co-ordination, which helps land those headshots. However, this game is much different from Halo. People who play a lot of campaign (usually not the pro PvP people) will get access to things those who stay in multi-player don't. People who do those big raids are going to get weapons that may add a distinct advantage over those who don't play campaign. A piece of armour that gives you more health, a weapon that does more damage or makes you invisible, etc. If pro players are going to stick to PvP, they are going to get a surprise when they find out they're limiting themselves to certain weapons/armour/focuses, etc. So for that reason, I think a lot of pro players will be handi-capping themselves.
