Noob Combo: Difference between revisions

The so-called '''"Newb Combo"''' is the combination of the [[Plasma Pistol]] and [[Battle Rifle]] or [[SMG]]. Often one would be walking and hear the splash of the plasma pistol being fired only to turn around and be hit in the face with the giant green blob and then sprayed in the head with the [[Battle Rifle]]/[[Carbine]] in an instant. This combo was especially rampant on [[Beaver Creek (Level)]] and [[Colossus (Level)]]. It was incredibly effective and often turned the tide of games. This tactic was considered so imbalanced that [[Bungie]] attempted to remove it from the game by implementing the new Battle Rifle game type which removes all [[Covenant]] [[weapons]] from the map. This was largely ineffective. They also made a team actionsack gametype for it called "combo training"
