I don't know, I used to use martyrdom but found that once I got good at it, Last Stand was better. Also there's no better feeling to me than getting killed and watching five guys zip past and then taking them all out with my pistol because they didn't reckon with Last Stand.
I'm not talking about Last Stand in general. In most cases, it's easy to counter, and I see it as a pointless perk that only serves to get me more headshots. I'm talking about in hardcore. Particularly on COD:WAW, because I use bolt action rifles. So I'll shoot, and as I'm chambering a new round, the enemy falls into Last Stand and kills during the fall when they're invulnerable. It's slightly less annoying when I have double tap on, but then I sacrifice my radar jammer. But on the subject of Last Stand in COD:WAW, or "Second Chance", I hate teams who ALL have second chance, especially on hardcore. They kill you in the way previously described and then one of their allies runs along and picks them back up so they can do it all over again. It's hellish.

I've only played COD4, but I think that the lack of entirely fully auto weapons would turn Last Stand into a ridiculously overpowered toy as they fall to the ground and pop shoot you while your working the bolt on your gun. Now I don't quite understand the mechanics of the WaW version you mention, did they put in a perk that makes you the COD equivalent of Left 4 deads incaping where you can stand back up? In Cod4 Last stand would only leave you with your pistol, and if you could under no circumstances stand back up and start playing again until you had died.

People who spam the same attack in any fighter game.
This doesn't annoy me that much because of their playing style or because I can't get around it, but it DOES annoy me when that attack has a voice or sound clip to it and you hear it over and over and over again. HADOUKEN! HADOUKEN! HAD-wait... Shoryuken? Fine.

Smash brothers is worse, though, when someone is playing Pikachu. Hate that crap so much.

In CoD:WAW, you have a perk called Second Chance. In effect, it's Last Stand. However. If another player has this perk equipped, they can revive downed players. So as a result, alot of players run around with Juggernaut and Second Chance in an effort to increase their lifespans. These people will also use fully automatic weapons.

Those people in L4D that beat a hunter to death.
Not firing one shot...
They just BEAT YOU TO DEATH -.-
Thats not really a noob combo,but it just frustrates me.
When your gettin' meleed,you can't run.
Your stuck to your faith.
Or when your trying to knife someone in any COD,they shoot you to death.
You find that a lot on COD4 for Xbox Live.
But yeah...
Those aren't really noob combos,but they frustrate me to death.
I have a real noob combo now though:
UberHeavy and Medic.
They should shoot you when you are trying to knife them. I don't know how the knife works in COD but far to often the melee attack (chainsaw, knife from Turok) are overpowered and really steal the fun from playing online. It is one thing to catch a guy off guard and use them. It is another to run all over the map hoping to cheap out an opponent.

This is of course based on a normal match and not one where everyone agrees to have a melee only match.

The reason is I got caught off guard, and it was a last resort to try and survive.
Gotcha. I thought you were crying foul cuz you were running around trying to knife everyone and someone had the nerve to shoot you. It just amazes me ppl get pissed when that happens.

Starcraft:
Turtling with photon cannons, then spam out carriers. Hey, I used to do it, I sometimes still do it, and I know how to deal with it, but DAMN it's cheap. It's just a matter of going through the motions, and an excellent example of a n00bm00v.

Also, zerg rushes. But I kinda like those. :)

I always hated people with the extra grenade perk on CoD4, when you got killed by them, you'd see on the killcam how they simply threw their grenades randomly into the air and you got hit by one out of pure chance.

I hate snipers in Halo, which is ironic because I myself prefer to snipe enemies from a distance...

This is a blast from the past...In Goldeneye, the golden gun on multiplayer in the level with the bathroom. Two people with golden guns can camp out indefinitely.

Basically the golden gun or other one-hit guns in general.

Gormers1, it just depends how you play. You just have to get rid of him early, when I play stock matches I just kill what I can and keep out of the way with my cypher. Then take on the last man standing. Plus Marth's attacks can one shot people if you time it right so he has to be slower.

Problem you will constantly face in COD is bickering like: "you killed me with x perk, x perk is for n00bs" or "you killed me with x gun, x gun is for n00bs."

The AWP in CSS. It's like having an insta-kill gun.
That happens to me all the time. Martyrdom in COD4 and I think COD:WaW is a common contender for complainers but I don't mind it. RPGs in COD4 annoy me so much, as does the barrel mounted grenade launcher, no skill at all.

AWPs in Counterstrike as well.

I just stopped playing CS:S because of the AWP. have people stopped using that thing yet? I swear almost every single time I was headshotted I looked at how he was doing it and he was shooting my finger, except that my finger was five feet from where he was FUCKING AIMING!!!

COD series - because people always hide around the corner with a auto shotgun, either that or knifing you
Because taking cover is a bad thing and everybody should just like up in the street infront of you. Check your corners more often.

I see that alot of people are commenting that "noobs are the ones who complain about *insert weapon/ powerup here*" and though I can understand your view, there are scenarios where you just think, "damn, that was cheap" and I believe that is the crux of this thread. For example, Martyrdom has been mentioned alot and though it can be avoided when you know its there, when I see a blip on the radar and start sneaking up on the target only for some other guy to kill him without my knowing, I walk over a live grenade with too little time to jump my slow ass out of harms reach or throw that bugger away. The result is an untimely death and a frag to some undeserving bastard, that seems cheap to me. The same thing goes for grenade spamming, "Oh so you chose the three grenades perk? I like that one too, but how about you use it to flush out campers, god knows there are enough hiding next to staircases in this game"
