Creepers are annoying on Veteran difficulty as it is. I don't want to know what they're like on Hardcore or Insanity (might be because I prefer controller to mouse at times, and lately I've been playing on my laptop).

I've noticed that unless I'm carrying a shotgun, Creepers are difficult to fight if they get too close (also provided I miss the melee attack). A pistol doesn't usually kill them fast enough (I play Feros pretty early).

One of them is enough to kill me pretty much because of that stupid puke attack they have (I also tend to play with less healthy classes like Engineers).
