Most fun enemy to kill

[Tantalus]

Which is most fun to kill?

[DoctorGordon3]

Striders...oh yeah.

Then Dr. Breen

[Mechagodzilla]

Definitely the antlion guards.

Are the dropships even killable? I've been unable to shoot one down yet.

[Tantalus]

Definitely the antlion guards.

Oh yeah, I meant gun-ships... oh well.

[Naudian]

Wow.
My theory: If the option "strider" is on a poll, it will always be chosen the most.
:|
I picked strider. Iz fun to hide from dem :)

[bliink]

Cheat and shoot lamarr.. while Dr. Kleiner is talking to it.. thats fun..

[Samon]

Striders...but its always fun crossbowing dr breen to the wall in the plaza...

[Rocketman9mm]

the gunships are fun to take down. steering the missle and watching it obey your directions so crisply was awesome. that and the cascading explosions as it dives for the ground is badass.

[rae]

the normal zombies in ravenholme with the circular saw, but thats not an option :P

[Malfunction]

Striders. I absolutely loved the whole feel of those levels when you storm that building (forgot the name) and you see all of the Striders from the roof down below, it just was so lifelike. Really fun to kill, even though there ended up being no secret to their death.

[Lone_Bullet]

1st - Fast zombies with Shotgun (on a roof :D).
2nd - Combine with Level 2 Grav. Gun or Crossbow.
3rd - Strider with Rocketlauncher (duh).
4th - Toxic zombie and it's toxic headcrab with Magnum of Shotgun.
5th - Manhack with Grav. Gun and/or Shotgun.

Lone.

1: Antlion guard in the bathroom with toilets.
2: Blue gravity gun. If only enemies didn't die until you launched them into something...
3: Striders and gunships. Different but equally satisfying to put down.
4: Klling combine creatively. Flipping cars, manhack tag, hopper traps, barrel checking, I could go on and on.

Least favorite:
Any sort of headcrab. Ridiculous amount of effort and ammo for something so small and abundant. Feels like killing rats with a bazooka.

Semi-related question: if you shoot combine with health packs, does it do damage?

[KagePrototype]

what about manhacks? those were fun to thrash about. :D

[Teta_Bonita]

it goes right through them.
:(

[Breydel]

What!?!? No headcrab!!?? :)

You also forgot spiderman. :)

[Chase]

Most fun for me is shooting any combine soldier in the face with the magnum, even better from long range using the HEV zoom.

[Sulkdodds]

Tough choice between Striders and Breen...although Metrocops with a pistols is fun too.

[Ennui]

striders, all the fun of the laser guided missile, plus a sexay enemy to look at as you kill it.

[kupocake]

Gunships. There's just something so frantic about every battle with them, knowing that you have to babysit your rockets to the target. Then you usually end up running for cover. Excellent stuff. I especially like the Lighthouse sequence with plasma raining down on you a through the windows at the top :). That said, the Attack Helicopter is just as good as the gunships... that last showdown was just brilliant, especially when it does it's super spam attack :)

Of course, some "combination kills" are good fun. Throwing a Manhack or RollerMine at a soldier adds a little bit of irony to the whole experience... though it's sad to say that I don't think HL2 has anything as great as cooking your first Tentacle beast, or bagging those Gargantuas... How'd you like your Garg? Air-Striked or Fried?

[Sulkdodds]

Actually I loved firing the rollermines into the water. "Eff off! And don't come back, bitch!"

[cky]

My vote goes to the striders. It was fun enough to take them down with the rocket launcher, but much funner with the pulserifle secondary shot. They just explode with a lot of yellow stuff coming out of them, and makes that badass animal/machine sound.

[subtlesnake]

Probably the actual dropship, the one that zoomed overhead in the water hazard level.

[gcomeau]

Definitely the antlion guards.

Are the dropships even killable? I've been unable to shoot one down yet.

If you open up on them while they're loaded you can take out the containers they're carrying the troops around in, but I haven't been able to knock one of the carriers itself down.

BTW, am I the only one that noticed that when you're leaving the lighthouse after you shoot down that gunship, when you get out on that ledge a dropship overflies you and it's carrying away your buggy instead of a troop container?

That ticked me right off, damn theives...

Yeah, you have to be real observant to see that one :) I only saw it after the hlfallout guide (http://www.hlfallout.net/articles.php/sandtraps_47/) pointed it out (bottom of the page).

[Cpl_Facehugger]

Personally, my favorite enemy to kill has to be the metrocop. The noise of them flatlining was just so cool. Gunships and then Striders come in just behind.

[cleckmoon]

Ant Lions were awesome to kill. Especialy at short range. With a shotgun. They exploded nicely. ;p

Then you had to lead them around, and got to be friends. Then you felt guilty about occasionaly shooting one in the face just to see the ichor expolsion.

[The_Great_Walter]

I always liked dumping rollermines into the sea with the grav gun....

honorable mention to striders and Combine troops in general after you get the super grav gun.

[Dumb Dude]

I liked killing the fast zombies because I could just wait there as they run towards me and then, BAM. I would blast them with the shotgun.

[porus]

i dont know about the dropships themselves, but the crate that they carry in their claws is destroyable.

[Tantalus]

Dropships, on the bridge, with the rocket launcher. Oh, sweetness.

[Psychanalysis05%]

Step 1 - Grab an active manhack with the grav gun (don't worry, it won't hurt you)
Step 2 - plunge it into some hapless simp's head.

You can even kill friendlies this way =P

[diluted]

Yeah, I liked killing the rollermines. There's something so satisfying about watching those damn things sail out over the sea and hearing the "thoomp!" sound as they explode in the water. :smoking:

[f|uke]

No option for gunships?

It would definitly be gunships, except that the game tends to choke at the point where they die, clearly loading the sound/gfx of them blowing apart.

[HumanoidTyphoon]

The zombies, when setting them on fire, they run around screaming there heads off, and it is funny as hell to watch. Second using a paint can and the grav gun, because I like paintballing and when you hit them a stain is left from the paint.

I coloured many a zombie completely white in Ravenholm.

[Zenrazor]

Headcrabs can be fun. Something satisfying about blasting them while they are in mid jump at you with the shotgun. They go flying. Also anything that you shoot or blow off a perch.

[weyl]

I like sideswiping groups of CP in the airboat, or taking out the struts holding their platforms...they die before they hit the ground.

Hitting antlions in the buggy is fun too. The tires get all covered in green goo.

[johnnypoopoopant]

speeding zombies, too bad they only show up a couple of times :(

[Reginald]

Striders...but its always fun crossbowing dr breen to the wall in the plaza...

When can you do that? I have completed the game and never once was there even an oppurtunity to do that.

[Hunt3r88]

i loved versing the ant lions guards, i think there should have been more of them really... and with them and the antlion guards, are they from Xen or are the brought/made by the combine?

Not made by the combine, cuz they fight each other... probably xenites, or maybe an experiment gone wrong.

[jellyfish]

any combine with a shotgun shell to the head they do insane backflips :D
