Just wondering if people do or not. For example your loosing in game of team slayer by 20-9 and the other team are using it or they are just beating you. Do you use it to try and get back into the game, never touch it or just once in a while use it. Also whats your thoughts on people who use it to?

my other account, if you are gonna send me an FR, send it to this account and my Main GT.

it is supposedly smart playing that takes very little skill. i usually avoid it unless i'm in a tournament or if the opposing team is using it alot. i feel it shows that you have very little confidence in your br

EDIT: i get no satisfaction out of getting a kill with it. what it all comes down to is that it is just no fun to use. and a videogame is supposed to be fun.

This apple is brown, and rotten. This orange on the other hand, is in relatively average shape. So the orange is definitely the preferable option.
----------You can't compare apples and oranges. You're so dumb.

I use it in extreme cases only. Even then i hate doing it . Im glad it's going to be balanced in h3.

I've only used it once. While I feel that it's a completely legitimate method of taking down an opponent, I just get no satisfaction out of it. Splitting open someone's skull with a melee attack or killing someone with a well executed stick feels more rewarding than simply pressing RT twice.

Why, because I'd rather get a sense of satisfaction out of my kills than an "easy to accomplish" kill?

Indecision may or may not be my problem.

There's already been a huge huge discussion about this one. It's in the game...some use it, others dont.

I only use it if my entire team quits on me. Then as far as I'm concerned I'll do anything to give myself a fighting chance.

I pick up the combo if and only if the other team starts using it.

if i have a chance to use it i will. it gives you a bit of an edge, which is always good.

Estne volumen in toga an solum tibi libet me videre?

Nothing suits me like a suit.

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

If the other team is using it or if im losing by more than 20, i give myself permission to use the 'noob combo'

Who here thinks they should make a uber powerful Grunt Plasma Rifle thats shoots out naked flaming Chuck Norrises?

I put sometimes because i wont noob combo first. If the other team starts noob comboing, then i will too. If they don't and play the right way, i wont even think about using it.

The truth is out there. We're just not looking in the right places.

Only in times where I really need to use it. You know, when your about to be killed by some weapon, and you have a PP, I'll use it. Sometimes I'll use it for fun.

I use it if I see it. On beaver creek that's all I use if I can't find a power weapon. I don't think it makes much sense to limit it's use to "desperate" situations. I get just as much satisfaction out of it's kills too....the more fast, easy kills, the better.

I see no problem in using the Noob Combo. It's in the game, no glitch and you actually can avoid getting killed by it. Owning a rocket launcher on foundation or beaver creek is also a big advantage and takes no skill.
For myself, I don't use it often because the BR is strong enough on it's own. I prefer secondary weapons like the sniper to fight where a BR is very ineffective. But if there are only dual weapons left, like in Big Team Challenge, why not?

the only thing i hate about the "noob" combo is how many dumb redundant posts come of it...i wish they would sticky one up so people see that the topic is there, and that is where you can complain about it!!!

There's no such thing as a "noob" combo. Yes it's easier to kill people with it but that doesn't make it a noob combo. If you want to use it then go ahead and use it but it will make you no better with other weapons in the game, and it provides no satisfaction for the killer....i guess what im trying to say is that you should never forget that it's there but make sure you use other weapons too! Also, the "noob" combo is limited by the distance of the plasma pistol. Making it a useless combo as far as im concerned
