Times you died to former human?

2 days ago I was playing pwad. I had 9hp, I died to zombie shot, and all of that while megaarmor and two large medkits were small step away.

My career is ruined

Tell your stories

When you're low on health, every zombieman a thousand map units away will know.

Just yesterday testing a map. I felt like a Neo, dodging lost souls, caco and hell knight fireballs at 3%, and then a rogue zombie man sniped me down from across the room. I imagine he then put on a Stetson hat, and walked into a sunset. 

Doom II map 15 from a pistol start seems to be the most likely scenario

Quantity is a quality of its own. One zombieman will do diddly to you, but fifty zombiemen? That's a lot of diddly.

Way back when I was doing the "doom 2 the way id did" letsplay with Alfonzo co-commentating, I had a series of unfortunate events in the map "Borderlands" (I think?) where I kept dying to zombiemen over and over and over. here's a link, if the timestamp doesn't work it's 1:12

Why stop there? How about a thousand zombiemen.

Ever played Nightmare?

Ah, yes

I was playing ASNEW8. Creator recommended nightmare, and I just ended it on next room with 3 zombies

I have had the zombieman make me nervous more than once, they are great at just draining your health at a distance when in numbers and you have to expend ammo to deal with them so they don't kill you when you are at low health.

I don't remember, to be honest. I do recall playing a first map from a somewhat contemporary wad which had no more than 7-8 scattered single zombiemen in a big entryway area at the beginning and I took every shot from lowest to highest damage within the first 25 seconds, cause normally it isn't necessary to be playing too safe with these guys. There wasn't much in health packs to recover so I ended up dying along the run, and on the second start none of the zombies hit me once. A memorable "one in a million" sort of chain of events. That's doom basically.

If we are talking about shotgunners and/or chaingunners, while not that often, last time was playing Corruption by NinjaDelphox - entered a room with around 100 hp and armor and two shotties and a chainie (these nicknames though) eviscerated me in just one and a half second. Again that's not very common to happen, though since there's an unlimited range of outcomes you can have with doom hitscanners, the rare is just another whatever.

I'm not gonna confess.. I still want to keep my honor intact.

Do joke wads count?  I played Junkfood 2 for a couple hours recently.  I think most of my deaths were from comically large groups of zombiemen.

I've died more times to zombiemen than I'd like to admit

Oh, yes.

I was in SIGIL 2 E6M7, unaware of him being there. I was a sneeze away to die, until ...
