Your most hated enemy

[Adabiviak]

...I don't know about you guys...

I enjoy the difficult characters, myself. The man hacks are annoying at first until you figure out how to kill them quickly. I love the zombies! The originals from HL1 were, well, slow and unchallenging, but the poison and fast varieties in HL2 are both very challenging and, the first time around, very frightening. The ant lions took the longest (for me) to figure out how to handle. Now I can wander around on the beach and stay alive until my ammo runs out. Note: this is VERY fun. If anything, I don't like the fact that the Striders don't use their alternate fire at will - it's triggered by your position. Maybe Valve figured it would be too hard like this, and it may very well be, but I always get the impression that the Striders are holding back.

as i said before my most hated one is
1- the poison zombie
2- antlions (they dont make much noise when they "walk" so they are always suprising me every time i get out of a building on highway 17..)
3- gunships on hard (lot of damage and quite hard to land all the 7-8 shots without error .. must try to fool it.)
I found a way to fool the fast zombies in ravenholm so they are not that hard anymore.. and the sound they make is sooooo weird when they try to get to me (something like a small angry dog that you try to steal his favorite toy from his mouth)

My most hated enemy is
1. The poison Zombie with their little friend.
2.The Manhack. Really annoying especially when they hunt in pack.

Poison Headcrabs, Poison Zombines, and Fast Zombies. God do i HATE fast zombies.

I hated poison zombies at first. They're ugly, hard to kill and carry lots of black headcrabs. And they're really hard to see, and they tend to creep up on you especially when you're busy collecting all the supplies. And that hideous moaning... They gave me a heart attack several times: that one on the second level of the house near the big bridge, in the laundry room in nova prospekt, etc...

My favourite tactic against them is setting them on fire and then staying out of sight so they can't crab you. Then wait for them all to die. I used to hate poison headcrabs too, until I realised I could kill them with one crowbar swing.

Fast zombies are scary, but easy to notice as they make lots of noise, and easy to kill. You can usually pick them off with the 9mm when they're climbing the drainpipes.

I'm playing through the game now, and if I had to pick, I would say the jumping land-mines layed about when you return to the streets of City 17. I find them tedious to have to remove, and annoying when they're in the way. But, I've learned just to sprint past them (unfortunately for my team... ).

Fast headcrabs, a right pain in the ass

I found the perfect way to kill the stupid poison zombies. When he throws his crabs at you, swat them with your crowbar. When a head crab (any kind) is hit with a crowbar in midair, it will die with one hit. Then, go show your crowbar to the zombie's face.

Be careful though, poison zombie claws hurt more than any other.

The black headcrabs...gods ..those are deadly!!! eeek!! O_O

But the radiator is a good weapon against them!! LOL

 

[bam23]

Fast zombies/headcrabs and manhacks.

Not because they're hard to kill, but because they're such pests.

 

[SilentGunz]

Fast Zombies, especially when there are several of them. And whenever I shoot one with a shotgun, I don't kill the crab so it jumps off just to piss me off some more!

The hoppers are also annoying, I always have to stop... pull out my grav gun... pull the hopper out of the ground... and chuck it! It takes so long and there's too many of them (they're the only problem in Anticitizen One, without them, that chapter would be great.)

 

[dj_flameskull]

Well, they are all meant to be pain in the arss. heh.

I'd like to personally torture Breen though.

lol.. was it really that hard to remove them from the ground?

 

[A True Canadian]

Nope. It just interrupted the flow of that section for me. I should probably change my controls so that I can access the Gravity Gun quicker. Let's just say I suck when it comes to playing with mines.

 

[thehero_dies]

press G to access gravity gun? poison zombies are a pain up the arse.

 

[j4s[p]]

Anything that has to do with those poison headcrabs, when I hear their sound or they poison me I jump, lol.

But, the most annoying enemy would have to be Manhacks and Scanners.
