So I played the alpha at a friends, and I tried out the pulse rifle, but I couldn't handle the recoil. It felt like every shot threw my aim way off, so I stopped immediately, and used a scout rifle. But after going back and watching gameplay of the pulse rifles, it doesn't look all that bad. I wanted to use them just cause I'm used to the battle rifle, and I'm not sure if I will, but what are y'all's opinions on the pulse rifle? How does it compare to other primary weapons? How does it compare to the scout rifle and hand cannon?
TLDR what do you think of the pulse rifles in destiny?

Felt exactly the same way, too much recoil, and also not enough damage, or maybe that's poor accuracy due to the recoil. But compared to scout and auto they felt vastly inferior to me. For me during the alpha it was scout>auto>>pulse.
