Its headcrabs and I agree. Those things are damn scary in HL2. The worst is that Ravenholm level. You finally think your out of it when you go in the mine only to wind up in a place that is crawling with those rediculously fast super headcrabs and a few poisonous ones. I hated that level.

Isn't that Serious Sam?

EDIT: Oh now I know, you mean the zombies created by super headcrabs.

i hate the ones in SS too tho :p

But the spider dudes in FEAR are freaky, esp when you walk into a room and they;re stuck halfway up a wall, then they jump and go invisible...

Poison Headcrabs scare the CRAP outta me. In Ravenholm, you'd go into a room, and hear that *hisss*

i'd stop, and right away start throwing grenades. I HATE THEM.

those little balls in HL2 that come rolling at your ass scare me. ravenholm= best level ever. when your at the top of that one building and you hear CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK, like 3 or 4 of the dog type zombies running up the pipes, a masterpiece.

never played fear.

The first one scared me because he doesn't attack, he runs away and leaves you wondering "wtf was that", so I kept reloading to figure out what I was looking at. Finally I remembered the slowdown function and slowed it down and saw him. Once you start battling them, I didn't have any trouble. Slowdown + single shotgun blast to the midrange, speedy man down.

Mind you, the little trigens in farcry still scare the crap out of me, esp in confined spaces (thinks catacombs) :eek:

Plus Poison headcrabs make those horrible *piggytail* zombies. Takes too much ammo to kill them. And in the meantime. He's throwing tons of poison headcrabs at you. Ugh.

I wish I could try F.E.A.R. But alas, GeForce 4 MX technology just isn't up to the challenge. *Sigh* I hate my computer.

on the other hand, splitting those bastards in two with gravity-gun-propelled sawblades was one of my favourite moments in video game history! :thumbsup:

Ya, i always get caught mid-reload with the little buggers, but afaik you only get hit by them twice in the game...I just hate the way they'll nick off into another room, then you walk in and they;re stuck halfway up the wall :p

They freaked me out the first time I saw one, I was like WTF was that.
I always hit them with the butt of my gun. Took care of them nicely.

Are they something like the psionic monkies from System Shock 2? Those bastards freaked me out. Almost as much as cyborg midwives...*shiver*

Agreed...HL2 is quite awesome, and the Ravenholm level is perhaps the greatest in video game history. Or at least one of the greatest.
