Eau de Boomer.

Sounded like a good idea at first, but like Francishatesme said. People who are boomers can just vomit everywhere and it would be spammed.

Basically instead of the current boomer of it being hide and vomit on survivors, If this was added the new idea for boomer would be Run away and throw up on places the survivors will have to go to in order to get through further into the level.

How can it be SPAMMED when you can only use the alternative puke once per life?!! It's not an overpowered addition so lazy/careless people can puke anywhere they want and spawn as much zombies as they want - it's giving people that have an unlucky miss a second chance to succeed.

1) Retarded idea. Lets make the game even easier for retards who are too lazy to learn to aim with the bile, woopdiefuckingdoo.

2) Why do so many people care so effing much about "logic" in this game. Why would anyone ever prioritize "realism" (In a zombie game) above good gameplay?

Because common sense > unreasonable stupidity.

+1. There has to be a balance between realism and gameplay. I don't have as much fun playing games like Doom 3 because (it's really scary) and I'm so tired of playing as a Space Marine. I mean hell Space Marine doesn't even make sense. There's no water in space. Marine my ass. Sorry for getting OT but yeah. There has to be a sense of plausibility to everything.

And you couldn't come up with any of the 7,5 million things that are less logical than the nature of boomer bile in Left4Dead to complain about? Oh, and the keyword is unreasonable, btw, so you sort of already presented your own counterargument. It's not unreasonable if it affects gameplay positively, just like it's not unreasonable to have a zombie FPS game--It's still fun even if it isn't logical.

Because only a few of them affect our gameplay, and those few have been discussed hundreds of times.


Also, when you said "Why do people prioritize logic over good gameplay?"

Logic is good gameplay.


Noone would have that much fun as infected if you had heatseeking molotovs, unlimited ammo, survivors unlimited bashing (UNTIL NOW).

Noone would have that much fun as survivors if tanks didn't catch on fire, hunters could always do instant kill pounces, smokers can instant kill with their snags (UNTIL NOW).


Bit by bit VALVe is fixing their errors, and I am trying to bump the boomer mechanics to the front of the waiting line.
