	Your favorite enemies of all time Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

We're talking about two categories here- both the evil mastermind behind it all, and the little common lowly soldiers who are fun to fight.


My favorite evil mastermind is the man in the suit from Half-Life. He's always watching you wherever you go, and he's clearly got some shady stuff going on. You never find out what he's up to, and that makes him all the more creepy.


My favorite lowly grunt types vary. I thought the AI in Halo was very well done, but their attacks are mostly very similar. The enemies from the other big alien games are more unique. I'm gonna go with the invisible sword-carrying Covenants from Halo. They're great fun and they always freak me out. The headcrabs from Half-Life are really fun, but only when you face them with a crowbar. Otherwise its not very sporting.

I loved the imps in doom. i think that is what they were called. those brown fellas who threw fireballs at you. a well aimed shotgun blast would put them down and it was fun blasting away at them.

It's not too hard. You crouch and move slowly, so they don't hear you. Then you can sometimes pick one off with a headshot from the .357. Then you have some breathing room. Then go around the room in a route that does not seem intuitive. You'll find that they all are facing towards the "intuitive" route. Thus you can sneak up behind them and kill them with an easy headshot, or even the crowbar.

Maybe, i only played through it once, not counting the 15 or so times i reloaded it in one go, i had 10hp and that was my best save point and it seemed pretty hard, the marines were impressive too.

Ouch. I went through all three HL titles with 100/100 the whole time. There are a few times when losing some sheild is unavoidable, such as the OF boss, and Gonarch's mini-headcrabs, but through various AI exploits, it's possible to go through the whole game with only minor scrapes. For example, if the aliens don't see you, they won't move, even if you are shooting them. The black ops AIs often won't respond if they hear a gunshot- they only look for you if they see their comrade die.

I love pigcops in Duke3D.

I absolutely detest the flying head that spits out the skulls in Doom. The skulls are okay on their own, but the flying head is a pain to kill.

The Trickster from Thief. Moebius from the LoK series. Thorne in Tron 2.0. SHODAN. An assortment of do-bads from the NOLF series.

These are a few of my favorite things.

The snake race in UFO: Enemy Unknown. Especially in sandy missions, they blended in well with their surroundings and were creepy to fight against. They died well enough though that they were fun fight.

oh and the Carthagians

as for the grunt type enemies. I'll go with the Etherals in X-com: UFO- the first one. although they were the most annoying, so I'm not sure I can call them my favourite, but they provided the best challenge. though the chrysallids were also challenging

I also remember Quake 2's Makron (or Markon?) as the most disappointing boss I have ever faced.
