In Response To: Everyones most *hated* marathon monster (Ojo)

: Ok everyone, what is your least favorite bad guy (s) - for whatever reason.

That's a pretty tough question, as there are so many things to hate about the Pfhor. I particularly hate the way they smell, especially when I torch them with my TOTZ. And there's all that goo - splatters over everything. I really hate it when a bit of Pfhor gets stuck between my teeth. Yeach! And after a while, all the floors and walls are covered with green Pfhor slime - one time while running through the Engineering section on board the Marathon, I slipped on some Pfhor slime and went flying feet first down the corridor. And wouldn't you know it - there was a measly little fighter waiting for me - not even a projectile fighter, mind you - just a plain old fighter who finished me off. God, I hate them!

Seriously, every monster has it's advantages and annoyances depending on the situation. The fighters are generally the least bothersome as you can usually take them out with little or no ammo, even in groups if there is enough room to get around them. But occasionally you get into a situation where there is whole bank of projectile fighters right in front of you and there's nothing you can do to get out of the way. At times like that I really hate them. Enforcers are generally a favorite of mine - I rarely get trapped by them and I can usually avoid their fire. When I see an enforcer, my first thought is, "Ammo!" That's right, to me an enforcer is an ammo supplier - provided I have a couple of magnums and a couple rounds of magnum ammo. I can fist an enforcer, but usually I end up taking at least some damage.

I really do hate cyborgs, but they're pretty easy to kill and unless in a narrow corridor or unless they are using guided ammo, I can generally dodge their grenades. The major cyborgs are a pain, though, since it's pretty hard to avoid their flames when you're close in. Minor cyborgs are easy to fist once you get the hang of it. I guess my least favorite enemy is the trooper, just because their bullets are hard to dodge. I can often take out a group of troopers by getting them to fight each other, but when it gets down to the last one, I need the room to take them out at long range, as it's often too difficult to fist them without getting shot up. Oh, yes, and I definitely hate the wasps, too.
