Snarks, for me. Tons of nasty little beaks slowly tearing the meat off me :fffuuu:
Headcrabs or the human-to-stalker-or-combine-soldier machine. Losing your humanity is never fun.
None, preferably.
Poison guys. EEEEK!
Becoming a Stalker is better than becoming a Combine (ok, depends on point of view, really) - you don’t volunteer to become a Stalker. You’re forced, and become a casualty of the occupation (because you FOUGHT BACK). That’s sort of heroic, not cowardly, like the Combine.
Headcrabs, followed closely by getting caught by the Combine and having your body torn to pieces. I can’t imagine the Combine are big on anaesthetics or general patient welfare.
Barnacles would probably top-score, who knows, their tentacle or tounge could as well be sticky of some sort, so once it got you, you can not escape (which then leads to cracking skulls 'n stuff).
Talking about cracking skulls:
Headcrabs rank second, for me - In case you didn’t know, it’s not the tiny black fangs that are most dangerous or painful, it’s the white ‘beak’ inside their mouths. They only use those black fangs to hold onto your head, the beak ([illustrated] screenshot below), is what’s going to slowly saw and break its way into your skull… :fffuuu:
Not so cute anymore, eh? :S
Also, check this wiki, for reference:
Mister Friendly.

Probably head crabs. The amount of torture they entail is unthinkable.
Totally. In the original design Mr Friendly would grab you, pull you towards him and rape you to death with his huge phallus.
A cool anekdote from HL: Raising the Bar. Too bad they don’t print it anymore… great piece of literature!
It’d be sexc af to get hurt to death by some of those Race X jerks
I think the worst and most rational one as a civillian would be getting shot up by disgruntled military goons
Ridiculous ties tightened too hard around my neck, that would be so undignified.
I imagine the fangs to be poisonous on the crabs, like a poison that paralyses you. But barnacle for me.
zombines with kamikaze granades.
headcrabs is the worst way to die, is painful and you will suffer until you die!!
That doesn’t really count as dying, though.
I’d say headcrabs again. Barnacles might be the least bad since their tongues appear to snap your neck and you die instantly.
Headcrabs are the worst. Fast headcrabs are the worst of the worst. I think HL2 established that 'crab vitims still feel pain (like when they’re on fire) so becoming a skinless abomination sounds like living hell.
My misplaced satchel charges :S
