half life enemies ranked
since im a bit bored, i will now do a top of all half life enemies to the worst, to the best... half life is my favourite game ever and it was really hard to do, but here's the list

34. xen laser turret
this enemy is in the xen chapter, normal enemy

33. xen cannon
theres only one in the end of forget about freeman... good treath

32. black mesa automatic turrets

31. black mesa automatic turrets (large)
good enemies, they are very scary in office complex, and tell's you that the enviroment is not so safe...

30. baby headcrabs
ok... they are really tedious... they are not bad, they are one a few enemies that are difficult to get, or to spot...

29. snarks
equal to baby headcrab but more powerful... and a bit more memorable

28. sand mines
appear during surface tension, and are good treath...

27. missile turrets
only two in on a rail... i wish i can put them more high but... ok

26. xen craft
is not really an enemie... but adds atmosphere...

25. nihilant
... good final boss, nothing more... its hard to compare bosses to common enemies... so even if its too low, it is what it is...

24. gonarch
... good... boss?... his figure indeed is spectacular...

23. jets
they are not enemies, are like the xen craft but better, adds even more atmosphere, and is spectacular when you see it

22. alien grunt
i don't hate it, and it hurts, but yes... thats his spot... good enemie, adds a power and real fear of lose to the xenians

21. garagantua
i think is equal to the alien grunt, but a bit more iconic and the chase at the end of surface tension was really good...

20. tentacle
like the gargantua, but more iconic

19. bags turret
they appear in on a rail, a really powerful turret behind a shield of bags, the way to kill it is trow a granade in the holes at the side of the turrets, or go at the side of the shield and kill the soldier behind... really tuff... but is really iconic... adds a ton af atmosphere, and feeling of power to soldiers... and is really iconic in on a rail

18. itchyosaur
good enemie... taths how you do a water enemie... really tuff and angry... is one of the most dangerous enemies, but is fun to kill him

17. controllers
a satisfaction to kill them with the magnum... they are one of the most fun to kill... and are surprisingly iconic, they fly, their deign is top, and they shoot yellow balls... perfect

16. worms
only appear a few times in water... but they are the definition of "side charachters that adds tone and atmosphere to the experience"... they are the top of that...

15. snipers
HECU snipers, are really interesting and fun to kill... approved

14. tank
only appear as enemie after the cliff in surface tension... one of the most memorable and beautyful battles in the game... this is the first tank encounterd... and really do his scene... and in forget about freeman where is more dangerous... good enemie

13. bradley
bradley or "badge tank", appear a few times in surface tension... is like the tank but more fun...

12. houndeye
this is one of the most common enemie in the game... but in the "xen common enemies gang" is the least memorable, but is a masterpiece of enemie, with his attack, and behavours... i can stay here 10 pages, watch some videos if you want to know their ai complexity

11. black ops
they appear two times during the game, these are the most particular enemies, both for gameplay and lore... and they are a good treath...

TOP 10

10. laser mines
these laser mines are very common enemies that requires shoot them or jump them... iconics, really iconics

9. apache
the helicopter is really spectacular... a masterpiece of epic scene enemie... appers 3 times, but is much

8. osprey
that a miniboss, is like the apache but even more spectacular and iconic, only apper 2 times, one in we'v got hostiles that you can't destroy, and one in surface tension, a satisfation to destroy... really iconic... iconic like the whole game at this point...

7. turrets
these are enemies that are surprisingly common, one of the most seen enemies, and are the definition of iconic tech enemie... they require thinking and jumping... and this game is from 1998...

from now on i can stay here 3 hourst talking, so i don't really know what to say... i don't talk anymore

6. vortigaunt
5. barnacle
4. bullsquid
3. zombie
2. HECU

I meant the ceiling plant-like turret that shoots laser during the Xen chapter.
