I know I did, but I didn't use it as much as I probably should've. Halo 2's noob combo is the best noob combo out of all the Halo games. Halo 2's plasma pistol actually hits the person your amming at.

So did you use the "noob combo?"

Yes but I prefer grenade sticks.

Overcharged bolt tracking (IIRC):

H2 > CE > Reach > H3

Overcharged bolt range:

H2 >= CE > H3 > Reach

Standard bolts:

CE > Reach > H3 > H2

I don't believe that I ever tried using it more than once or twice, but that's just because I couldn't use it all that well for some reason.

YoUrE oWnEr the question is who didn't use the noob combo?

now that i think of it, i doubt Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2 or Halo Reach is possible to finish on legendary without the noob combo

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Yes, especially on double team. The old justification was, even if we don't do it they will do it to us. Better do it to them first and win, lol the good times.

On Halo CE, I used the PP pistol rarely, but I still did it some, most notably on AOtCR.

In Halo 2, I used it on strictly zealots. Otherwise I just BR'ed whatever it was to death.

In Halo Reach, I really have yet to use it, because I have yet to really need it.

Yes. Albeit it wasn't always exactly a noob combo, but it was still me peppering and overcharging his face off until his shields popped, then I pulled out a BR.

Nah, i never used it in Halo:CE or Reach. I did in Halo 2, but mostly because i enjoy doing it. It's quite possible to get through Halo 2 on Legendary without using the Combo, there are plenty of alternatives.

And yes i did use the combo in in Halo 2, why not? Everyone had the ability to use it. The Bungie game types where pretty unbalanced, except the on that was called hardcore/MLG (I'm unsure about the name of it).

  • 07.10.2012 11:34 AM PDT

Yeah sure did..wouldn't have completed Halo CE or Halo 2 on Leg end without it!

Half of what I say is true. The other half are also lies.

I never used the noob combo because when I first started playing halo I never knew about it. Things would have been easier but I played the game it was meant to be played.

Pioneer and Enthusiast for Halo 3.

I think a lot of the people who played H2 through it's prime and beyond, mostly used it. I only used it in desperate situations. For example, if I was losing the match, or if I had low shields. But even then, I had to go grab it, and I never was a fan of that unless it was Rockets or Snipe.

  • 08.02.2012 7:34 AM PDT

I rarely used it because it was frowned upon amongst my friends, and the Halo Community.

  • 08.02.2012 9:43 PM PDT

Only ever in matchmaking games where it was wide spread. If the whole enemy team is using it, then they deserve to have a taste of their own medicine to level the playing field.

Otherwise no, I didn't use it.
