You know what used to get me in HL1? It's kind of odd, but the assassins. The assassins (was that their name? I don't even know) were these enemies dressed all in black that would run at 2 or 3 times the speed of the player. Their AI code was written in such a way that they would find alternate routes through the level however possible to come up behind you, it's like the AI was constantly sent information as to which way your back was facing. Unfortunately once you figured this out you could trap them really easily just by pointing your back to whichever area you wanted them to go to. But before I figured that out, they put me in some scenarios where they'd just pop up behind me in .5 seconds and scare the bejesus out of me.
