supercommiefu shut your fat face and just admit you use noob combo like all the rest of us

I never said I didn't use it. Just that I am (almost) never the first person to use it. If the other team uses it, then I'll use it. but I'll never "initiate" the noob-comboing.

i have no idea why people call it the noob combo............. its a combo they put in the game. if u complain about that combo of weapons your the noob. its not like you cant beat it. before bungie reset the stats i was a level 35 legit and i did use this combo, doesnt make me a noob it means i'm smart an i use the weapons they give me to an advantage, so all you people complaining about it..... srry to tell u but.... YOUR THE NOOB DUMB @$$

There was a man from Allentown who fed his son to death.
He calmly watched him gorge himself until his final breath.
And there he stood, surprised and shocked above his tiny frame.
He said: "I bear no blame for this. I only share his name!"

It doesn't take enough skill. Bungie made it way too easy to use.

PS: Don't say "noob"

I'll prove anyone against it wrong with one sentence.
The Plasma Pistol is built into the map, it was meant to be used.

Posted by: EternalDisdain
Now I hear in Halo 3 the Plasma Pistol will have the ability to stop vehicles in their tracks. Personally I think that's going a bit far. Not only does the thing have heat seeking abilities but now it can bring moving vehicles to a halt? I don't want to jump the gun and complain about it since the game isn't even out yet but the concept of that is just wrong in my eyes. Since when is a PISTOL used in anti-vehicle situations? That's what rockets and tanks are for.


The plasma pistols seeking was tones down a lot.

ok... sorry to start something but if you have to use the combo every game to get to lv 35... that is NOT legit... a person that acually uses grenades and head shots with BR and sniping... that is a legit player... not somebody walkin around with the NOOB combo the entire match.

It is annoying when someone uses the combo the entire game, there are so many weapons in Halo!

its in the game for a reason. anyone who complains about it is the "noob". its no differnt than someone getting rockets or sword or shotgun or sniper or the only BR or assassinating someone. if you're dead you're dead because the other guy killed you, not because he had ________, maybe you should have got ________ first.

why exactly does everyone thinks its nooby?

ive decided to try it for a day and i missed the charge alot

lol if you ask me its a decent combo not very good not very bad.

any other opinions?





1. It takes barly any skill due to the massive auto aim it has.

2. Most people who use it arn't very good to begin with.

People always complain about the noob combo , but the noob comboer is easily out BR able.

  • 09.19.2007 5:41 AM PDT

I never, ever, ever used it, unless the other team started using it first AND we have no other way of winning. Otherwise, it's just dirt cheap anyone who uses should go to... well... nevermind.

It is the simple fact that really the only people that use it are people who suck and use it to win a match. /quote]

I use it when ever I find it and I'll gladly play uoi 1v1 with BRs only and win.

Impossible. Bungie doesn't remove levels for cheating, they ban you. And a noob combo isn't cheating, if they don't ban people for useing RRX BXR etc nothing happened to your level, where do you come up with that?

BOOM! headshot BOOM! headshot Teabag Teabag Teabag

im good usually even when i dont use the combo i only use it as a way to get a kill and if i lose it all well and i drop if i find something better like a sniper

The noob combo should be used to it's full potential like any other weapon. Those who believe it is "cheap" are simply those who don't know how to use it or those who are the unsuspecting victims of it. It can be both very effective and easily beaten when used upon an expert.

I agree. I myself like to play with honor, which basicly means I stick with my trusty BR.

*To the people who complain about the noob combo, go make a Noob combo game variant to practice using it and dodging it.*

I think the main problem is it's over powered. A heat seeking charge that knocks your shield down completely and leaves you vulnerable to die from even the slightest damage. Granted they balanced this with the fact that the pistol is utterly useless if it's not charged. The abuse of this weapon comes from the fact that when you fire off a charged shot, it over heats, but you don't have to wait for it to cool down. Instead you can quickly switch weapons ( or if you are duel wielding shoot the gun in your other hand ) and easily take out your opponent. If Bungie implemented the "down time" of the plasma pistol, and forced us to wait before we can switch weapons, and not made it duel wieldable ( notice you hold it with BOTH hands when it's not duel wielded) it would be much more balanced and would not rival power weapons such as rockets and the sword.

With this in mind the plasma pistol would become more of a support weapon and encourage team work. For instance you fire off a charged shot while your team mate finishes him off.


I agree with what EternalDisdain said. I think the noob combo sucks, and should only be used in loosing situations to bounce back into the game, but it should definately have a downtime when switching weapons, which would give the opponent at least a chance to cover, because without the downtime, then there is no chance. I wouldn't mind if they duel wielded it and had like an smg in the other hand, because you would have to be close enough for the smg to actually effect you.

I especially liked how he was talking about the fact that the PP should have downtime and then their teammates can finish, that would be nice.

I'm a god at PP-BR comboing.
Just don't use it to the point where I do aswell, or my score'll go up by 10 in the last 3 minutes in the game.

honestly, i dont find the noob combo that much of a problem either... yeah its kinda anoying going down that fast but, what pisses me off is when people use a rocket launcher on people... i only use rocket launcher for vehicles and nothing else... its just so anoying having a rocket launcher at you... no skill. with the "noob combo" your still useing a little skill.

i let my skills speak for me

the only time i use it is on Sanctuary and that's when either my team mates have all the power weapons or the other team does and i cant get a carbon the only reason why i call it a "noob combo" is because it is well known and do that to inform my team mates when someone has it
