For me it's the Charger, utterly crap addition to L4D2. Unless you get it absolutely pin-point spot on you just go sailing by and get shot the **** up.

The "recharge" takes forever too, so if you are unfortunate enough to miss (which is almost always) then you rarely if ever get a second chance.

Not much of a fan of the Jockey either but atleast it has decent health and is quick to regain its ability.

Which for you is the most useless infected character?
 
The only thing i don't like about the charger is the fact he can go right through people even if it is spot on!. Jocky for the fact that sometimes you jump over a fence-water and he clips the fence instead of jumping it!
 
I quite like the charger. You just have to use it like a boomer (i.e. make sure they only spot you when you're right on top of them) before you hit charge. It can also one-shot a player on full health and cause multiple incaps if others are on low health and hit by the charge. That said, you're rarely going to top score if you keep spawning as a charger.

Personally my worst to be are the jockey (the situations when you can really do some damage are relatively seldom) and the tank (I inexplicably seem to suck with the tank).

Boomer and spitter are comfortable favorites as you can just destroy whole teams with them.
 
Between the jockey and smoker for me. Probably find jockey the least useful.

I like the charger, good for initialising attacks

Worst for me is jockey, but it has its uses too.

Charger is the best as theres a buttload of points to get an instant kill with him and you can do lots of damage just by meleeing rather than charging.

Jockeys recharge needs fixed its currently the longest recharge ingame from what iv expirienced which sucks.

Hunter needs to change too back to like it was in l4d1.
 
The charger is awesome once you've learnt where all the 1-hit-kill spots are. If I'm given a charger on the no mercy finale..... it's pretty much a guaranteed kill.

I hate jockey's the most. I'm useless with them, but always seem to get grabbed by them when the AI controls them.

I just want to pound it's face in!

Ha ha! Yes! I totally get you :P

I suppose maybe if you play that mode, a character you need to get up close to use might be annoying, such as boomer, jockey or hunter, as you can get easily killed, but if they are spread then it could be good.

I havent played it in a while, and I didnt really do that mode where you could be an infected (only really once or twice), but from a survivors point of view, apart from the Tank which is an obvious pain in the rear, I would have to say Jockey, and Smoker, and maybe hunter are most annoying.

I clearly need to play this game more, if only I had more time!

Yeah no mercy is awesome for charger lol, Can nearly always get one at the top of the ladders if you position it right and then you can just continue to charge them off various points once they start lol.

O.o, first time ever seen the charger labelled as useless, it's pretty much the strongest infected.

10 dmg fro ma right click punch 25 dmg for a successful charge + 1 pound with an extra 10 dmg per knock back.

My worst as in i play the worst with is the jocky, but if you do it right he too can be excelent and get a instant kill or separate and make them back track or abandon a player, takes more skill and coordination than i have to do though.
 
I like them all, but some are useless in certain situations.

Spitter - can do allot of damage if used right, best used when the survivors cant move or are forced to run though it.

Hunter - great at catching and doing lots of damage to players that get separated. Or if you can pounce from a high place. Other wise on its own its useless.

Boomer - nothing like a nice hoard to cause trouble for survivors, if you cant ambush with it dont spawn.

Smoker - Good for picking players out from a group and dragging away, works well if the rest are boomed or busy dealing with other zombies. It can also be used to instantly down players by pulling them off ledges

Charger - one of my favourites, best used in tight corridors where you can hit multiple targets, the second attack also does allot of damage so if you miss hit away. Oh and dont forget this is the only special infected that can instantly kill a player by its self.

Tank - who doesnt like playing the tank, but it can be useless if all the players are green and there arnt any cars or rubbish bins around.

Jockey - one of the hardest infected to play and is only of use if the survivors are distracted or split up. Never send a jockey in to a group of survivors by yourself. You can also instantly kill if the player is boomed and you drag them off ledges.

Yup. Get one from the top of the ladder, and then hang around the big ramp between the helipad and the radio building. Anyone that gets charged on that ramp is pretty much dead.
 
I prefer the level with the water under that huge bridge, hide a charger in the building and charge them as they walk past. Swamp level can also be good for this, but again going through people as a charger is NOT fun and can ruin an entire match.

This should've been fixed

tbh all of them work together great if you have a good enough team to pull off a good attack.

True, you can do allot of damage with combo attacks, Spitter + any other infected can very quickly incap a survivor.

But if you have a really good team and you get the timing just right you can kill the entire team in one attack.

Nothing like raping an entire team just seconds after they leave the safe room.
 
I hate the jockey, only good if someone runs off by themselves, and unless your a newb or a level runner you dont want to be doing that ;)

Stelly
