Subject: Side note to the Noob-Combo for Halo 3!

Each time someone stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. That hope is three little numbers: 1 - 1 - 7.

There is hope in us all. We gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face. We must do the thing which we think we cannot do; stand with the Master Chief and Finish this Fight!

Like so many people, I have fallen a crude victim to the so called "Noob-Combo" (called this way due to the easy way that one can kill another person) which is made out of the Plasma pistol and the BR (Halo 2) or Pistol (Halo 1).

Now there are many of you out there that would like to see this combo deleted in fact in most case I would definatley agree with you, but looking at from a wepons balance prespective, it would not make any sense to take away the Battle Rile and the Plasma Pistol as they are two star weapons used all the time in Single player and Multiplayer. Plus one of the many highs of Halo 2 is ending a killing spree of a guy using the noob-combo, it is hard to beat, but its not invicible not if you know how to beat it.

Maybe if Bungie edited the Plasma Pistol to make the damge take away half of your shield rather that than the full thing or make the Spatans amour more damage effective against bullets without its shield at full charge.

There are so many ways around it but taking the noob-combo away is not one of them.

no one would use the plasma pistol if it only did half shield.
but then they could duel wield them and drop and change to a battle rifle/carbine weapons
droping the heat seaking off it is the best option

They could just take the homing ability out of the plasma shot.

Why didn't you just post this in the thread about getting rid of it?

Dont get rid of its homing ability... just make it less responsive. They can however make it like it previously was in campaign. Could you imagine taking on those silver elites in legendary without a good plasma pistol... they also did the same thing with the needler in halo 1. They made the homing suck in multiplayer but it shot faster and homed more in campaign. They could also make the plasma pistol have more cool down.

I dont care what anybody says without the "noob" combo there is no way to beat legendary...

as far as MP goes you still have to pick up two individual weapons...but i do hate the around corners thing that has to go...

but i wouldnt change a thing about it...
