It is the simple fact that really the only people that use it are people who suck and use it to win a match. Almost all the time I see them use the N00B combo, They think that they are the -blam!-. I hate that. But thats how I feel about the noob combo.

the only thing really "noob" about it is: 1. the amount it tracks 2. auto aim on the BR

its an effective weapon, however, its not like it cant be beaten.

those who complain about it, probably cant beat it, and begin to call it "noob" because they suck.

i really dont mind it if people are behind 10 points and use it to get a few easy kills.... but when people use it the entire game to win... that makes me mad cause it seems thats the only way they can win... every now and then is fine though... personally... i NEVER use it

If I pick it up then im going to use it.....maybe thats why I win alot of my games. You cant have an "honor code" and expect to win, you opponents are going to use everything at their disposal to beat you, id advise you to use whatever advantages you can get.

If I'm a guest, I'll use it. Or, in unranked if we're down by like 30 points. I only use it in ranked if the other team uses it first, that way they can't complain that I used the noob combo.

I could really care less if they complain.

I treat it as the power weapon it is when coupled with a BR. Its not my fault Bungie decided to treat it and have it spawn like just another dual weapon. If I see a PP, I'll most likely pick it up.

Seconded. I get pissed when I get comboed alot but I also understand that the other team is doing what they have to do to win. It isnt honorable or "skillful" but a win is a win.....

It's just not worth the hassle of them insulting me and my mother, then having to reject their invite to a 1vs 1 and then block their friend requests. I find it easier just not to pick up the PP.

Your choice. Its like those people who choose not to use sword or rockets, if you pass it up and get killed then its your fault.

Exactly. I never complain if I get beat (Unless they superbounced/modded/standbyed). I realize that not using the Combo puts me at a disadvantage, and I accept full responsibility for my loss if it's caused by me not picking up the PP/BR combo.

Just as long as you realize that youre not only playing for yourself, you have three other people that are counting on you as well. Im sure they would like it if you used every advantage to win. How would you feel if one of your teammates just gave up the sniper, rockets or sword to the other team? You may indeed be playing for fun but some people play for other reasons, namely to win.

LOL well whoever made this post called it n00b, so ur saying he sucks? everyone who ive played with has called it the n00b combo, but they all dont suck (most do tho...:P) I call it a n00b combo but i dont suck (IMO)....its just the fact people run around with it and turn it into an unstoppable power weapon, then talk -blam!-...it takes little to no skill...id rather be killed by any other weapon than the n00b combo...except the needler :P

I encounter noob combo most often in double team. ( I don't really play THC or Team Slayer). And the people I play with agree to abstain from using the "Combo" unless the other team uses it.

There are three main reasons people talk trash on XBL:


1. To frusterate the enemy and force them into making mistakes.

2. Because they arent used to playing that well and they have a need to brag about finally accomplishing something worthwhile/or because someone else started it and they need to get their licks in.

3. Because they are a little tubby lunchbox 12 year old kid talking over a mic. Their mommy didnt show them enough love and they need to express their rage from not being able to cuddle with their security blanket..

Huh? I never claimed to be a model Halo 2 player. I just don't use it unless they use it first. In my opinion, If i can't make up 1 death from me not picking up a PP, then I don't deserve to win.

Actually, I talk trash to see how pissed off I make the "hardcore" geeks. I love getting threatened by someone who stays home every Saturday night to hit level 39 in Team Slayer.
