I'm guilty of using it a few times, and don't realy care when it happens to me. what makes me mad is when someone uses nothing but the n00b combo. thank God that its harder to pull off in H3 and that you can't run around with the plasma pistol charged all the time without draining it.

I think that it is useful but lame and takes very little skill.

"That is why you fail"

Just because you don't like a power weapon does not mean you shouldn't use it.

"The best part of waking up is not Folgers in your cup but knowing Chuck Norris didn't kill you in your sleep."

Use of the combo shows your lack of confidence in your ability in a fight. I think it is very lame just like someone running around with just rockets all the time, or using BXR. The Noob Combois just another way to allow those with little self confidence to boost their ego and think they are better than they really are.

You know, the 'noob combo' is a fair and pure legitimate technique of the game; unlike button combinations. People hate it because it kills too quick or is too easy to perform. The whole primary objective of multiplayer games is to kill each other, so, why waste time depleting a player's shield by using other methods?

Remember: Sniping weapons can kill instantly and so can button combinations and they're both easy to do. There are not many logical reasons to dislike the 'noob combo' in my opinion.

Final verdict: It's hot. I wouldn't actually describe it as hot however; it's okay.

Note: My avatar has changed to Mukade from Oni. Mukade is the coolest Bungie developed character ever! Woo! Respect him; the leader of futuristic ninjas! RAWR!!

It's a great combination of weapons, simple. It may be easy to use but that only makes it more lethal. I am happy they are making it harder to use in Halo 3, but that's beside the point. In Halo 2 it is a great combo and if you don't use it because you are "too good" then you need to lower your standards a little bit. The PP/BR is a great way to win a fight.

Use it whenever you want. Players hate it. Why restrict yourself from killing a player with ease?

i use it alot actually mostly when im playing with my friends on a system link. I dont care if it is a "noob combo" it gets kills and is sometimes not as deadly as you think. Halo 3 it wont be a problem though. The needler is the next one but that is hard to hit people with. I usually never use the noob combo on XBL because there is no time to find the different guns. Oh yeah... i like swat soooo using the noob combo helps with that.

Finally...someone said it. Kill or be killed. Any way that gets you an easy kill and prevents you from dieing should be used. Maybe not all the time though...

  • 07.20.2007 10:02 AM PDT

i only use it as an extreme last resort
the weapons are there so they can be used
i reckon its one of the most annoying ways to die though

isn't there no shields in swat so no need for the combo? and you only get one type of weapon in swat. im confused.

I don't see nothing wrong with getting easy kills all the time, as long as you're not cheating.

He's slightly insane, I suppose.

It's a technique, a skill, an easy one though, but, whatever. Don't waste time, bloody kill the bastards ASAP!

I guess it's legal as long as the gametype has it on the map, but I still find it very annoying when I keep getting killed with it. I usually don't use it at all and try to win without it, because it is just so cheap. The most I do is pick it up for a YY weapon so nobody else has it.
