Poll: L4D: Your worst infected character..

[PinkFloyd]

Jockey for me although it can be fun with being small and having quite a bit of health. Can be hilarious at times though.
Don't often get along with the tank and charger either, as both are useless against a team that is in good green health and paying attention for the most part.

Spitter is definitely my favourite followed by smoker

 

[Shadez]

true, but kills your mood when they all rage quit :'(

People rage for almost anything these days, very hard to get a good game going

Had entire teams rage on the first level without even trying the surviors\infected first. So if they are going to rage safe best to give them a good reason to

The worst rages have to be where your team fail in the first round but everyone stays. Then in the next round you claw back a few points and the other team who are normally still winning rage quit.

Charger is awesome.

Jockey for me is the worst. It can only be fun in Realism Versus, or when everyone else is boomered. In any other situations, it is almost useless.

Hunter for me. Some of the leaps I've seen people nail the Survivors with are mind blowing. Especially when they pounce of about 5 different walls to land on someone.

I've never even pounced someone by doing one wall jump, I have nailed someone for 25 pts a few times but thats on Dead Centre when they filling up the car in the mall so no skill required really.

Love being a Smoker though.

I love being a Hunter.

I personally don't enjoy the Boomers as much as i did in L4D1.

Working as a team with any combo is pretty sweet though!

 

[mythicdawn07]

i prefered l4d1 hunters and the maps had way better pouncing points compared to l4d2 theres not that many, and l4d1 hunters moved around and pounced much better.

I don't have a particular one that I'm terrible at, but the ones I have the least efficiency with are probably Charger, Boomer and Jockey. But I'm not really that bad with the latter two. In any case, it's all about timing and a little luck (and hopefully no lag) with them.

i can get on with all the Specials except the tank - all the survivors gang up on you, and normally, the other infected don't help out at all. Then they rage when the tank gets killed really quickly.

Oh I didn't mention my favourite

Boomer is my favourite, it's like a quickie. Shoot your load, sit back and enjoy.

Closely followed by Smoker, picking that last survivor off as the team moves around the corner into chaos or taking the straggler that peels from a mad horde rush to shoot into the crowd from a safe location and is then denied..

Normally its not that they dont help its because they are dead and cant help. Try pulling back and letting them respawn.

spitter is the noobs choice i feel, as it's easy to rack up points as long as you wait for something else to attack.

hunter, you need to know the high places/skybox for a nice 25 damage, but also really useful at taking out a wandering buffoon.

boomer, vulnerable, but it's just about being sneaky.

smoker, pretty useless unless you get a death smoke point, or everyone else is in trouble/occupied with horde/another special infected, or if you get someone close to incap as you can do a ton of damage.

charger used to be awesome before the hitbox seemed to get bugged completely. it's only really useful now if you sneak up or do the quick-turn style charge.

tank, well if you're up against a decent team and you haven't got backup from your team, or if you're just bad, it's rubbish. if you're sneaky, good with rocks, and have good players on your team its a decider for the round.

jockey... well, a lot of people diss the jockey as it's pretty feeble e.g. gets 1-hit killed if you're in the air. i think it's not bad, it's handy when most/all the survivors are boomed, as you can get someone into a lot of bother far away from the other survivors. it's still my least favourite as sometimes it just won't connect with a survivor, no matter how accurate you are. again, this could be a similar thing to the charger with the hitbox being fubar'd

Splitter?
