It's really a tie between escort missions and sewer levels.
Escort missions (especially those where the person/thing you're escorting dies in one fucking hit) are the bane of my existence, as I hate having to watch some combat-retarded dullard while dodging bullets at the same time.
Sewer levels because they're often samey, difficult to navigate, textured with only two or three different varieties of cement, and rarely offer much by way of light. It's as though they're designed to be the absolute worst way to your next destination that your character unwittingly takes for no particular raisin. (Yes, I meant to type raisin, spelling nazis.)

One shot, one kill in CoD4. The ending of that mission is NEAR FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE ON VETERAN! I barely squeaked out a victory on that level and I never played it again.
I also hated fighting Ganondorf in Ocaraina of Time, that 'Volleyball of death' thing got really agitating.

Missions where you protect a totally pathetic, vulnerable, low-healthed mortal from dieing. On harder modes its just trial and error.
Ice levels are annoying too, they tend to have stupid wussy music and bullshit mechanics like falling icicles and slippery slopes into water that either instantly freezes you or eat away your health.

Yes! Most sewers in video games are half-assed and are pretty much a filler between point from point.Nova5 said:
I think it was in one Spiderman game where you had to chase Venom (I think) through the sewers. My friends and I would keep dying because electrified water would be everywhere and swinging had to be pinpoint accurate because of the horrible visibility and how small the objects were that you had to latch onto.
Sewer levels. Sewer levels. Sewerlevelssewerlevelssewerlevelssewerlevelssewerlevelssewerlevels. Sewer levels. I hate them. Why do they exist? Why? WHHHYYYY?!?!
escort missions, im bad at helping people.
the unexplainable hard boss (tougher than last boss) in the middle.
any mission in gta (and its "clones") where you have to drive and shoot at the same time, i cant use both tumbsticks while pressing x, have a finger ready at the hand break (cause if you use anything but the hand brake your a pussy) and at the shoot button.
and this is not really a level, but the platform parts in a fps, its just so flow breaking having to stop, look down, move a little forward, a little more, a little more, look up, JUMP!, repeat.
levels where you are being chased, no matter how well you do the wall of death is always on the screen just waiting for you to mess up once and send you right back to the start.
the cut scene bosses, some games have a terrible habit of making boss encounters into a cinematic, oblivion's was especially bad.
meat circus.
the fucking around levels, it can be anything from the love interest getting kidnapped, or the door to freedom being locked, or that you have to visit old levels to gather x to get pass y, any thing that makes it seem like we are not making progress(i never did like half life).
and at last but not least, the supposed to lose levels, by the rooster i hate those, its just mindbogglingly how stupid those are.

On topic, Hazy Maze Cave from Super Mario 64, Labyrinth zone from Sonic, and the Phazon Mines from Metroid Prime, especially for "The Gauntlet" (if you've played it you can figure out what I mean).

I remember that. I somehow frustrated myself through it... Ugh, that was annoying. Especially the siege towers.Sciutovian said:

Fucking ice levels, I hate that shit. I almost broke my copy of Sonic 3 because of that fucking ice level, when your outside you go slower because the snow is really thick (supposedley) and when your inside you fucking slide around like a goddamn three year old on ice skates.Douk said:
