I don't mind shooting down Zombies, and I can stand Fast Zombies/Headcrabs, but I hate Poison headcrabs. They are a pain in the arse and really annoying. I haven't gotten to Ep 1 or 2 because I want to play them in order. I was just wondering how many Poison Head crabs there in the later half of HL2, after Sandtrap. And is their number decreased in Episode 1 and 2? It's just that they are no fun to play with.

It's just that Poison Headcrabs are no fun to take down. I mean you kill them, but you don't get that rewarding feeling like when you kill a fast zombie or even a normal zombie, and the other enemies. You don't feel that you had fun doing it. I'm scared when I come up to any Zombie area because I don't know if Poison head crabs are about to chitter, scaring the absolute *bleep* out of you, and then you sprint backwards as far and fast as possible to try and pick them off. That really isn't fun. Halo is all about meleeing your enemy and Half Life 2 is about taking down enemies in the coolest and funnest way possible, whether that be blowing up a sniper and watching the corpse fly out of it's hole, or killing a rampaging antlion guard that's about to ram you, or shooting different enemies at close range with the shotgun or other close range weapon and watching the body fly backwards. You can't do that with Poison Zombies, and it's even worse when you have to get up close.

To be honest, I would love to have poison head crabs removed from the games.

i dont see anything wrong with them other than the zombies scare the sh** out of me, I think there is an overabundance of the zombies in episode 1 also

Zombies don't even scare me in this game for some reason. Not even that waiting for the elevator part. But Zombines I find more annoying than any of them.

Zombines do freaking suck, but I'm with you on that poison headcrab thing. It always seems like I'll clear out a room and turn around and get hit from out of nowhere by one of these badboys.
