Exactly, i mean we couldn't even take him on with regular weapons, at least it would been more of a challenge, especially with those imps and stuff getting in your way. The Cyberdemon was an alright boss, but the way you go about beating him was all wrong. The Spider Mastermind or something woulda been more "Doom Like" or remember that skull thing at the end of Doom 2? Good lord was that tough to beat, i had to cheat eventually just to finish that level.

For HL2, that's what i was expecting too, actually i was expecting to go back into Xen and have an epic battle there, like you got sucked into the teleport or something. Those gunships were a little annoying, but pretty easy to beat, i mean 2 energy balls and they were finished. Remember Nihlanth(Sp?) in the first half-life? man that guy was tough, first you had to shoot his head open, then toss explosives in there, was quite tricky.
