Worst Noob Combo

[DarthHK]

Rocket launchers, flamethrowers, and miniguns. Oh my!

Man up and use a rifle, like I do.

 

[hattifnatt]

Grenade spam, this applies to almost every game that has them.

 

[RAWKSTAR]

Baraka's slicey spike thingies using the up, down+x combo. Infuriating.

This. So much this.

 

[Meatstorm]

Mortal kombat and especially characters that tend to do endless combos.

also the CoD4 with some of its perks.

 

[Lukeydoodly]

Halo 2: Plasma pistol and the battle rifle.
CoD4: P90 with steady aim.
CoD5: MP40 with jugg.

Use bolt action rifles at close range like I do!

 

[Space Spoons]

Choosing Kilik in Soul Calibur and spamming the 5-poke attack. It's not a particularly difficult strategy to overcome, but man, it's annoying.

 

[Puppeteer Putin]

n00b tube from BF2. Nothing else has caused more Rage quits than that thing.

 

[_Serendipity_]

The only online games I play very much are Team Fortress 2 and L4D, neither of which really have any n00b combos.
Only things I really find annoying are Fwd + Left Mouse pyros (especially as a medic...), but even then you tend to kill them a lot more than they kill you...

 

[CoverYourHead]

CoD with its set of 3 perks and 1 gun that are so unbalanced and un-honorable to use, yet all the n00bs use 'em anyway. That's why I don't play anymore.

 

[TheThanatos]

Martyrdom, all ways seemed cheap to me. If your in close combat with a group of people, firing a rifle from the hip killing them all but one, and he's toting an smg, you've got an empty gun so you side step he's burst and knife the git, you catch your breath and reload then boom nade at your feet.
That really really sucks, killing 4 or 5 people and dieing like that.
If you want to suicide nade people, man up, pull the pin your self and run towards the enemy screaming.
Awp in counter strike is frustrating. 1 shot kills to the leg just isn't right. A head shot with a scout I can respect, that takes skill.

yeah, kilik can be a pain. His range is just nasty, making it very hard to get close and do damage. especially if you're using someone like talim who has short range.

Halo 3- Grav Hammer and a rocket launcher on Infection....

 

[Fightgarr]

I hate it when he turns invisble. Or when he uses shadow teleport followed by his shuriken atta...
oh wait. Not Noob Saibot. You mean newbies? I don't know how this double 'o' thing happened. I would say that its in Halo 2, the combo of a plasma pistol (which was homing in that game) and a pistol/smg. It was a pretty cheap combo.

 

[willard3]

How about the classic plasma pistol/battle rifle from Halo 2 (haven't heard as much about it in 3)? Fire off a full charge of the pistol then quickly switch to the BR and fire one burst right as the plasma shot hits. Instant kill. That was actually referred to as the "noob combo".

I don't mind rifle grenades so much in CoD, but I do hate them with a fiery passion in Search and Destroy.

 

[God's Clown]

Mitsurugi. Have I said enough?

Lies, mitsurugi was awesome, not cheap at all

But yeah, Marty in CoD4 is only thing i can think of off the top of my head. No fun if you were to say, snipe 10 people in a row, then knife some guy just to die to marty, which EVERYONE says is easy to run away from, but it's really not.

 

[Megacherv]

Rocket Launchers on any game other than UT3 and the original Quakes, since they were designed for them to be over used.

EDIT: Okay, okay, that isn't technically a combo, so I'll have to say a rocket and then...erm...three hundred other rockets.

 

[Fenring]

The MGL-140 in Far Cry 2. I hate that thing so much. Putting it in multiplayer was just a bad idea.

 

[Mr0llivand3r]

WoW - stunning spells followed by very strong attacks

 

[Drake the Dragonheart]

The thing that pisses me off most button-mashers in Soul Calibur. Specifically when they play as Maxi or Voldo.

Otherwise, I can usually work my way around noobs. That said, I don't do a lot of online gaming - a lotta folks in my experience were always jackasses. Especially when I played Runescape many, many years ago as a sweaty teenager. Cries of 'FREE STUFF PZLZZZZZZLZZZLZZ' was really annoying. And kill-stealers.

Rafael's y attack in soul calibur. talk about the cheese master.
Pikachu and ness on a team in Smash brothers. talk about a cheap flipping combination.

I don't mind rifle grenades so much in CoD, but I do hate them with a fiery passion in Search and Destroy.

the reason no one mentions it in halo 3 is that they lowered the heat seeking ability and made it so if you just held down the button, the ammo would decrease. You can still use it, but its mostly just for vehicles now. Its also pretty useless in campaign since there are no more elites with shields.
