Basically, any weapon which a complete novice can use just as precisely as an expert. Usually, that means guns with complete auto-aim and/or heatseeking capabilities, for example Ratchet and Clank 3's RYNO (I doubt many people remember RaC3's online mode).

Raphael's BBB triple poke attack in Soul Calibur II is complete n00bsauce. Link's ring-out throw works too. Fortunately, these are both easily mitigated.

SFII: Super Turbo: Akuma is n00b combo since all his attacks have larger hitboxes and smaller hurtboxes and even some invincible frames. HD Remix fixed most of this, but there's still some legacy hitbox work that needs cleaning up (source: Capcom-Unity forums).

I personally hate this in the COD series in this order
1) SNIPERS- Nothing Inherently wrong or cheap in what they do just always seems to get me while I'm trying to get onto the battlefield with no way of fighting back, unless I can figure out their angle.
2) Knifers- Latency Dependent kills.
3) Campers (People who just sit around and hide, come out and fight you *appropriate language here I PROMISE*)

hey, does anyone remember the golden gun from goldeneye? that thing was a *****.
It was, until you got it. Then it was good times. I never played that much Golden Eye, but that still stands in my mind as the definitive console FPS. Up until then, no one said you could do a good FPS outside of the PC. This, was the game that you could always bring up in that argument.

Baraka's slicey spike thingies using the up, down+x combo. Infuriating.
Yay, I loved that move in MK2. Baraka was my favorite, his fatalities were so easy to execute. Sorry, I guess I'm the kind of guy that you hate then lol. In my defense that was 16 years ago and I was 12 and was tired of my 15 year old brother always beating me.

I find people who ***** about 'n00b' combos far more annoying than anything else. Everything can be worked around by a skilled player, and if it can't, then the game is broken and should not be played.

So you think that veterans of the game should have a definitive edge of newbies? Yeah, that's balanced game design right there.

The worst noob combo in any game ever is A. regular deaths of the noob and B. the noob's ability to whine about how bad they are.

COD4(Played on the Xbox360). I have a list.
1. People that use turbo controllers.
2. When the entire enemy team spawns on top of me when I'm planting the bomb in Sabotage.
3. When a person snipes me through the head when on the killcam their scope was about 10ft to the left of me.
4. People that can lunge across a room (HALO3 Powersword Style) with a knife.
5. People that know my exact position when I'm using a Silenced gun and UAV Jammer.
6. The fact that enemy Helicopters spray at 4 different people at once.
7. The fact that I must have a huge sign above my head saying "Davey is here shoot him for 10XP"
8. The fact that my team's Helicopters NEVER last as long as the enemy's.
9. The fact that grenades bounce in the most miraculous ways to end up in my face at explosion-time.
10. The fact that grenades (specifically matyrdom) roll towards me after hitting the ground and I can't outrun them.

I think other than this I'm OK with everything. I don't mind "NOOBTOOBING" because I'll just do it back if they ask for it. I used to hate Juggernaut but I got over it. However i spend at least 60% of my time raging myself silly at COD4 and I don't think it's healthy.

Sniping camper glitchers that sit WAY back and treats teamplay modes as their own n00by FF TDM.

How about the 3 bullets to the head from the pistol in Halo 1? Eventually all games degenerated to that and it totally ruined the multiplayer experience. Thank god Bungie acknowledged this and removed the scope and power of it in later games, but any game where that was a default weapon was bound to degenerate into "pistol dancing."

I don't know if they are n00bs, but it pisses me off to no end.

Hobbit Archer players in Lord Of The Rings Conquest (Demo) on the Shire.

They run up to the plateau at the start of the game, 4-5 of them together, and just raid the field. >8/

Maybe without XBC or the PC version. The 16-player online games usually wound up being way more complex than just pistol dancing, but the general rule of the original Halo in any form was to never, ever drop your pistol, or if you didn't have one, get one ASAP. Then grab any other gun you are A. Skilled with or B. Is appropriate for the situation.

I would quote alot of people here but there's seriously too many.

The main problem with FPS's is the fact that because it's a game you get a feeling of invulnerability.

I mean there's no way in real life a commander would be airstrike the exact same spot his/her troops were fighting on.
There's no way in real life you'd run round a corner with a grenade in your hand if you weren't insane.
There's a very low chance that a grenade would magically unpin itself the moment you die.
You wouldn't know the ins and outs of the battlefield you're fighting on because chances are you've never been there before.
There's NO WAY anyone's ever going to invent a gun with a CHAINSAW as a bayonet that any army will actually USE.

If all else fails, so what you died, wait a few seconds and RESPAWN. This is the problem, because you don't actually DIE it's never a threat to yourself.
Also most FPS's are unrealistic. In most real-life combat situations there would be ALOT more inter-team cooperation and everyone would be constantly talking. Where as online you get one guy who can wipe the entire team because he sat in the right window at the right time.

Camping. Worst n00b tactic ever.
I want to play against my friend on UT3 and see him fail when he camps. He's a sniper enthusiast, but will be obliterated when he finds out A) the UT3 sniper rifle sucks ass, and for good reason; and B) give me a Flak Cannon or Rocket Launcher (which are legal in UT3) and he'll die, bloodily.

Which brings me to my next arguement: UT3 Flak Cannon/Rocket Launcher with a 'No self-harming' Mutator. It's alright as a back up but when people abuse it it gets annoying...alright, I use it, but I only use that tactic in UT2D.
