Worst Noob Combo

[yourbeliefs]

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."

Mitsurugi. Have I said enough?

Setsuka. There. Now your statement is complete.

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 the PC

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.

Halo 2. Sword and snipers. I hate that combo.

Swords in general are brutal IMO, the lunging distance is far too long.

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.
