Talk:Noob Combo

I call the dual wield SMG and Plasma Pistol a bi*** combo on XBL when I used to play. The Consumed   ,The Dead   ,and Living  22:35, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

In some people's opinions, the plasma pistol dual wielded with pretty much anything is a "newb combo" (I do not share that opinion). ElFroCampeador 03:25, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I think the plasma rifle with the SMG is pretty good if you can't find anything else. You need to ambush them but if you wait until their shields are down just blow them away with the SMG and you should be fine...also, it's better with the brute plasma rifle because it fires faster so you take their shields down quicker and you can open up with the SMG. Try it on a dual wield only game-type and it'll give you a huge advantage. ~Fury (Tac Nuke)~

I HATE the Newb combo. I went over to my friends house, he used it on me... TWICE!!! though it is effective... AJ 16:15, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Halo 1
I found out that the Noob Combo is actually possible on Halo PC, just overcharge the plasma pistol and fire your AR, why isn't it mentioned? ΜΆŜΤΈŖČΗέÏΣΡΈΤΤΥОΓΓïČëŗ 11:17, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

nOObCombo Ironic Ain't It
Anyone find it interesting that so many people complain about a tactically sound option in Halo and yet they do not complain about such tactical uncontroversial options as sniping or driving a tank? It seems people will complain about anything that kills them but not how they kill others. Food for thought boys.
 * Exactly. If you toss a frag to down someone's shields and then headshot them, does that make it a noob combo? I think not. — əґ ыţ  єґ  ιιб

Neutrality
Cmon, guys, things such as "Am I a noob if I use the noob combo" "Yes if you use it in Multiplayer" are unnecesairy. It's not a glitch and can be a viable strategy, but to each his own opinion. Just dont post it here (the article).

I thought that a Newbie Combo was a fully charged Plasma Pistol and any sort of automatic weapon, such as an asssault rifle or SMG.

Oh, and it is a tactically sound strategy that should be taken full advantage of. And I agree with the dude above me. Carbine 04:16, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Some Sort of Change is Needed
Firstly, this isn't a hate comment, so I hope the censorship here at Halopedia doesn't delete it, but I'd really like to get a vote on this topic...

I think the title Noob Combo is a really retarded name. I was reading about a medal and the article mentioned possible ways to get it, including the "Noob Combo". I followed the link and felt embarrassed on Halopedia's behalf. So Bungie call it the EMP combo for starters. But what really annoys me is that the title is so devaluing of Halo, and whomever players who use the, as I agree, tactically sound strategy and should not be slated by the title for actual noobs' opinions of it (and just in case they are reading, I don't use the combo, I'm a real Shotgun and BR fan myself). But as mentioned above, why don't we call using the tank to kill players, the "Noob Tank Combo"? Oh yeah, that's because its ridiculous. See my point?

Secondly, what really shocks me is the amount of possible ways to use the so called "Noob Combo", so I'm a Noob for using any of the listed weapons to kill other players? The Mauler, Mauler & Spiker, Magnum & Plasma Pistol, Plasma Rifle & Plasma Pistol, Battle Rifle & Plasma Pistol, and more which I won't waste time listing. Its devaluing almost half the Halo arsenal, now that's absurd. Whether you agree or not, by stating these methods of death have noob like qualities, you are insulting a vast majority of Halo players. So I'm sorry to say it, but my opinion of Halopedia has fell. I think we ought to clean up this mess, or at least get a vote on how everyone feels about it. I know there are other users here on Halopedia who would appreciate a title / content change to something much more sporting. Thanks for reading! - TheLostJedi  14:15, 15 February 2009 (GMT)
