Noob Combo

A weapon combination discovered in Halo 2. The noob combo consists of a plasma pistol and a battle rifle. The user would charge the pistol up and fire it on the opponent. The green blast follows and homes in on the target making escape unlikely. This causes the victims shield to be stripped and then the noob combo users quickly switches to the battle rifle and shoots the victim in the head, causing a instant kill (even if the user misses the head, it only takes a 2nd shot anywhere on the body to finish the victim off). the Noob combo is used by just as you would expect, noobs. Typically the people using it suck with the legit weapons and want a unfair advantage against their opponents. It eventually got to the point where players would immediately set off to find the 2 needed weapons as soon as a match would start... Thus ruining the Halo 2 experience for many legit gamers. Noob combo was also used to spawn kill quite often. Despite its overwhelming frustration, the noob combo is possible to beat. The best method is to quickly duck behind a wall or object and once the blast misses, quickly kill the noob while he's charging back up. Its not uncommon to see someone resort to using a noob combo to beat a noob combo user. Fight fire with fire. Or in this case, noob with noob. In Halo 3, the noob combo was fixed with the simple change of making the plasma blast not home in on opponents. Now the noobs are forced to use real tactics and play fair.
