Arch-vile: DOOM 2's Worst Nightmare

[VolnuttHeroP64]

Has the Arch-vile in DOOM 2 intimatated early DOOM players with their inescapable inferno attack & Reviving the enemies you killed?

first time playing doom? well when I first played it way back when I was six years old I read the instructions, so I knew about the Arch-vile, I was never intimidated by the arch vile, and the attack is escapable just break their line of sight (does not work with enemies I think), but before I read the manual the only enemy I was intimatated by was the pinky demon, because I was playing it on hurt me plenty, so used to the slow moving imps and zombie soldiers then once the red keycard was picked up on the second level, a pinky demon (large, fast moving enemy with a bull's head almost, I always called them Bull demons) shows up and at the time I was like WOAH, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!

Been playing DOOM 2 for almost 20 years and Arch-viles still give me a good scare in custom wads once in a while, more so in open areas. Always the top priority to kill.

When I first played Doom 2 I never got to the arch-viles :( never got past factory.

By the time I started replaying the game yearly I had already played some wads with them in it. I don't find them as annoying as most hitscan enemies, but I still focus on them when I see them.
