Why is it called noob combo? Last i heard it was the pp/br combo???
If its so ...noobish.... why put it in the game for multiplayer?


It's not called that any more! It's now called the strong combo. And I only use it when everyone has oversheild.

i could careless about it. Bungie put the weapons in there for a reason so dont be a beotch about. personally i dont use it and when my team uses it i tell them not to but if the other team uses it i just laugh at the fact that the noob combo is the only way they can get there kills

Is it the best combo in the game . yes . but people get mad because they dont want to use it and then get destroyed by it. I think the biggest factor is just it takes away from the variety of the game if everyone is trying to get 2 weapons instead of 4 or 5

I personally never use it, it may get kills fast, but I'd rather try to use skill and have fun doing it, than getting an easy kill on someone that probably would have whooped me if I didn't have it(and realizing that fact),
As you can see though, with my k/d ratio that I don't really have skill and mainly just play for fun, lol.

Ok, first thing is first, you spell it NEWB for NEWBIE not nub or noob
"Noob" comes from Newb which is "L337" for NEW BEing

The newb combo is really good and I usually go for that but when you have an overshield and get PP'd then that sux

Use the "newb" combo on "Good" or "newbs" players. It ticks them off so much that eventually they use it and like always use it from then on

Side note: there are more than one "newb" combos. Try the others, and ppl wont actually call it a newb combo cuz they might use it more than they think.

Other notes: PP drains in Halo 3? Sorry I really dont know cuz I play Halo 2 only on Xbox not 360.

hello my name is rien and i am a vegetarian and also a furry. i do not eat tofu or salad because that is dumb. meat looks gross but i realy like d1ck...........for breakfest i eat assorted birch bark for lunch i eat cat fur for dunner i eat pencils (ORANIC!!!!!!!!) i wish i could eat tree leefs but ive never seen a tree so i dont know if i coould lol

I HATE it cuz its unfair, you could be a hardcore halo 2 player and be completly destroying everybody and then get killed by a horrible player who tea bags you and screams "OWNNNNNED!!!" and that is frustrating.but it is in the game and it is a good combo and it works against overshield. but in halo 3 it stops vehicles :)

The noob combo does work, but i prefer not to use it in matches. sure it gets the job done, but it comes with alot of shame. I say if you win using the noobs combo the entire game, then your just some sorry little nooblet.

I understand the frustration of the noob combo somewhat, but lets face it, the PP is virtually useless by itself. The overcharge shot is the only redeeming thing about it. It's not a totally skill-less kill, either. The shot is so slow it can be dodged if there's somewhere to take cover. You also show up on radar even when you're not moving if you're just running around with it charged up. My only wish would be that it would only take one shield's worth of the overshield. If someone has the overshield, it should take 3 shots. I really don't understand why there's so much hatred for this combo and not others. What about lobbing a grenade into a room to weaken someone's shields before rushing in guns blazing? Isn't that a combo, too? Bungie put it in the game. Use it.
