    This. They were pretty easy to deal with in the original game ... all it took was a subtle strafe and shoot them in the back. Now, they're faster and smaller in size, which of course makes them nearly impossible to see once the game gets going.

    Oh, and the area you have to shoot them in is pretty ridiculous as well :(

    Yeah, I also hate the new magnet things. They are a big pain in the ass to get if you are dealing with several other enemies, which you often are.

    The spheres that attack you after one of those black holes that chase you, sometimes theres just too much on screen to maneuver to take them out.

    The new magnets are a pain in the ass and the orange arrows are pretty annoying as well.

    Nothing will ever be more infuriating than those bloody snakes.

    Seriously.  It's like they were designed specifically to piss everyone off. >:(

    In King, they're even more aggravating, because they wrap themselves around the safe zones, which has killed me more than once.

    It will always be the snakes for me.  Even with the original Retro Evolved,   they were the one enemy that if they did one of those massive spawns surrounding my position it was a 50/50 chance of survival if I did not use a bomb.   It even seems harder now.

    Yes.
    The way the snakes just sort of meander across your shooting lanes and block your movement without aggresively trying to kill you is infuriating.

    The orange ships

    the ones that are the featured enemies in the waves mode.

    in the regular modes (deadline and evolved), they are the ones that confuse me the most, since they dont follow you they cannot be easily avoided with my puny circular pattern technique.. LOL

    The green enemies, I could tolerate them in the 1st game but they are far worst here.  Also the orange ship waves(in evolve & deadline), they always mess me up.

    those red rings that can only be destroyed by firing at one small section in the back as they zoom toward you.  heatseekers from hell.

    oh well, at least they took out the mayflies.

    As with the original Geometry Wars, the tiny purple things that come out of the purple square get me all the time.

    How are greens programmed to move? I'd really like to know. They seek in on you if you don't move, but then they move opposite of your directional inputs when you are moving? Something like that? fuck those things. Snakes aren't terrible, they move predictably.
