Yes I use it too.
Why should I not?

I don't understand why some people hate it so much...


people hate it so much because it requires no skill

And because it's an instant kill and the victim has no time to react. He's dead before he knows what happened.

People can ignore the combo and then talk about how they still have their dignity after losing the game, if they really want to. But personally, if it will help me win I'll use it. Maybe that sounds a little -blam!-, but that's really what it comes down to.

Honestly, I don't think someone has more skill if they don't use the combo. If someone understands how powerful the PP can be, and they treat it like it was a power weapon, how is that any different than using a sniper or rockets or sword? Certainly nobody would say 'Oh, if I see the rockets or the sword I just leave them there. Those weapons are for noobs.' If someone consciously ignores a weapon advantage, they're stubborn, not more skilled.

I dont use it, all you need is a BR, why use the plasma pistol it takes no skill.

Only newbies dislike the 'noob-combo'.


LMAO!!


But yeah, I hate it. I got my 38 100% legit, no combo, no sword, no rrockets, no shotgun, just my trusty BR and Sniper.
And, it's called 'noob-combo' for a reason, you know...

  • 04.22.2007 2:05 PM PDT

I never use it, but I don't hate it. The sword takes little skill. The rocket takes little skill. The noob combo is basically a longer to do version of the sniper rifle, but instead of one headshot you have to take the shields down then headshot. Literally come on guys. When the hell did Halo become the next SOCOM in which everyone decided to run around blaming weapons as "noob." Really, might as well complain about real problems like bxb combos, glitches and quitters that ruin the intended game experience. And for anyone that defends the bxr and bxb and such combos. NO they do not take skill. If it was tekken than the combos would have to be hit in lightening quick succession, but this isn't tekken and you can basically pull them off easy Dead or Alive 3 style.

I hate, hate, hate the noob combo. I will also use it if I have to.

Also the best time to use the plasma pistol is against the overshield. Does that make sense?

whats a noob combo?


A noob combo is when you charge a plasma pistol then shoot it(Takes out shields)[Requires no skill] then use another weapon to instantly kill the person that got hit.

  • 05.15.2007 7:32 AM PDT

I don't really like it as it takes no aiming and is almost impossible to counter, I normally pass it up when playing because I find it to be lame. But if someone on the other team uses it, then it's on.

noob combo is just as annoying as pistol in Haloce. Bungie should make weapons more equal, in Haloce pistol doesnt take much "skill" and is annoying and same goes for combo. But its there so if i feel like using it i use it

Pistol getting weaker is good but it still should pair with magnum so those are useable. Nobody uses magnum or plasmapistol alone. Also spartan laser seems to be way too powerful

People that use the noob combo and then talk crap or pathetic. Last night I played against some kids on Turf in Slayer (SMG start). They were camping with a brute, noob combo, and brute pistol (the red one) ... The only one talking crap was the one with the noob combo. They were up like 37 - 25 before we finally killed the guy with the noob combo, and we won 50-41.

The noob combo requires no skill at all, and it requires even less skill to crouch walk around and camp all game with it. Doubleshooting and other button glitches are lame, but who would complain about sword / shotty / rockets?

I hate it when someone relies on the "noob-combo" thru-out the whole game, using it as a last resort to catch up or just sparingly is acceptable.

"We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We're evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that."

When I see people using nothing *but* that combo through an entire game, it strikes me as lame and kind of cheap, sort of like spawncamping but not as bad. I have used it occasionally, but I try not to because to me, it's just not a fun combo to use.

Whoops, double post.

I hate using it and I hate people who use it, but I will use it if other players are using it to land cheap kills
