I see so many people always cutting on gamers who use the plasma pistol noob combo........ but the more I think about it I wonder how is that any different than using the sword or rocket launcher??? People say the noob combo is an easy kill, but how is it no one complains about the sword or rockets when it is just as easy to kill with those weapons. One swing with the sword and you dead. Usually one hit with a rocket and your dead. I think people just dont like it when someone has the upper hand in the game.

You know, the sniper is an easy kill, so are assasinations. If you BR well, its an easy kill. Lets get rid of every weapon but the needler so no weapon can make an easy kill.

Also I was told after I won a game that I was not a true gamer because I used the ghost to get kills. It seems like anymore if you use anything besides the battle riffle you aren't a skilled gamer. Why did Bungie put all these things in the game if they weren't intended to be used to get a kill?

I will use any weapon to kill my opponent, even if I have to take off my shoe and throw it, but Ive never considered any combo a noob combo. But I rarely use the so called 'Noob combo' simply cos people use any stupid excuse and Im sick of hearing em

As long as you played it, your a true gamer. Your playing the game, hes ranting about you doing what your supposed to be doing. Hes the one with the issues...
Now some loser will say i have issues...

The reason the noob combo is the "noob combo" is because you can kill with the noob combo from anywhere. Sword you have to be close (I always miss sword lunges anyways) and rockets either you have to get really lucky from far away, or be close and you still have a chance of missing/killing yourself. Noob combo is 100% effective from such a wide range of distance.

it is only considered a noob combo/weapon cause it is the only weapon that is very wide spread on a map, and can get you multiple multiple kills

for example....

1. if you have rockets congratulation you have 4 shots to try to kill 4 ppl or more then your done, and its another 5 minutes before it spawns again, br's and pp are every where you might have to wait 1 minute for a new plasma pistol or br.

2. sniper kills arnt always that easy especially if they can shoot back, and it actually takes some skill to shoot someone in the head with out scoping. and again you get your 12 shots, and your more than likely to miss a few times. so you might get 8 kills total if you dont die

3. sword is just another nub weapon and everyone knows it, but once it is gone it takes a while for another to respawn, so it doesnt always have that big of an impact on a game.

but the noob combo is so wide spread and in every map, that its rediculous, and by the time you run out of your pp, another spawns and then theres another 10 kills before you have to get another one

to ad to my last post, ppl dont get to mad if they use the noob combo once or twice, same for the sword and rockets, if ppl get a kill or two its no big deal, its all these ppl that abuse the weapons and only use the weapons to get there kills, they cant use anything else and resort to getting cheap kills over and over again

Because people don't like to admit that they were brought down by a Plasma Pistol.

the plasma pistol magnum combo can be used from colse range to the borderline if long range. The sword can only be used in close range confrontations, making it require skill to get a kill, and rockets are slow moving and can cause a suicide in close range, making rocket timing and placement essintial. Both these weapons require skill, while the plasma pistol noob combo can be used at almost any range, causing instant death with no chance of suicide.

Nah. Better yet, only melees with active camouflage and overshields, but let's weaken melee attacks as well. No vehicles either since they can make for some easy kills too.

Any player who properly uses cover can avoid a charged pp shot. They are slow and don't always seek. I can think of several other frags which are easier to get over PP/BR. If there's nothing better around, I will use it. If they weren't meant to be used, they wouldn't be in the multiplayer maps.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Although Halo has objective games, it is all centered around defeating the enemy, I don't care how you do it, as long as you can do it effectivly (with the exception of standby and modding.

I love argueing with people after a game about use of the combo, calling it cheating, or cheap or a noob weapon. Well if I'm such a 'noob' for using it..then how come I won the game? If it was not ment to be used, bungie would not have put it in the game.

The noob combo can take out an enemy while the rocket takes out friendlies nearby. the sword has its shortcomings too. I've died many a time from impropper use of a sword.

there are people who consider using pretty much anything but BR or sniper "cheating," but hell, I'll use whatever i can to get my team on top (I play team slayer). Last game, I was ninjaing with sword/active camo, and the BS just RAINED down. but I also got the widest variety of weapon kills and medals. But being taken out with a pp is definitely frustrating, especially when you have the overshield.

I am responsible for dividing the Covenant. I shall end this war.

What's the noob combo?

  • 08.23.2007 7:46 PM PDT

Sanctuary seems to be the map where the noob combo is used the most.

Indeed, its easier to kill with the sword or rocket than the noob combo. And for future reference, the proper name is the elite combo. Best way of killing elites in single player and co-op (especially on legendary).

If using the elite combo over and over again is a cheap kill then that makes using the br, the sniper, the magnum ect, a means of getting cheap kills over and over again.
