Left 4 Dead 2 is a game which made me a pretty happy man. There were lots of improvements, and despite a few steps backwards, overall it was a welcome addition to the shelf. One particular aspect most people seem to enjoy is the new infected (playable zombie characters) which include: the Wandering Witch, the Charger, the Jockey, and the Spitter. But why stop there? I’ve got ideas a-plenty for new infected that will keep the survivors dying all the way to the bank (assuming it’s been converted into a makeshift cemetery). Without further ado, here are the top 10 infected which should/should not be added to the Left 4 Dead franchise:
10. The Child Hurler: It’s just natural progression. The first game had the Boomer, belching goo on top of you. The second had the Spitter, vomiting venom all over the place. It’s just natural that the next in line in zombie evolution is the Child Hurler – a zombie that simply throws child zombies at you like rocks from a satchel. If you shoot its arm off it can no longer throw, but it is even better to counter-hurl a gas tank. Or your own child.
