bah doom3 didnt really scare me but the f'in headcrabs and fast zombies scare the piss outta me. The headcrabs because they always jump out when you don't expect them. You walk into an area and you think ok headcrab zone. You go through it all and nothing attacks you so you relax then only after you relax do the little bastards jump out.
And the fast zombies how they run from across the ground and rooftops to get you. Or even jump through skylights to attack just scared the crap outta me. It's odd fighting the soldiers i understand but with those ghouls and crap they just get me. And fast zombies suck becuase you have maybe 2 seconds to react from the time you hear them and most of the time they require a double shotgun blast unless you hit them just at the right spot of the head.
