10 Video Game Enemies That Made You Turn The Console Off

Gears' horde mode runs were such a capital-T time for 2000s gaming. Introduced in Gears of War 2, the idea of tackling 50 waves of enemies with a set group of friends is something I'd literally recommend to anyone.

Also brought in across Gears 2 were the Kantus', dodge-heavy, twin machine pistol toting a-holes that were just annoying to pin down. Screaming at you while their armored variants soaked up a TON of damage, they'd even bring back other downed enemies to keep the pressure on, if you weren't positioned well enough to flank and stop them.

As Horde is all about team work, the Kantus' feel specifically designed to exploit chinks in your group armour. As they can soak up a ludicrous amount of damage - even standing inside a Hammer of Dawn's beam for what feels like forever - any lone player trying to take one on would get wiped immediately.

This often then led to a clown car of revives and downs that ended your glorious run to victory right there.
