So hey I was wondering.

What is your favourite ' Special Infected '?:

And What ' Special Infected ' do you think your the best with?.

Favourite ' Special Infected ': The Witch

Special Infected I think I am the Best with: The Spitter, or Boomer/Boomette

My favorite special infected is: The Smoker. Mainly because the way he walks seems weird. Also, once I was playing no mercy, I was on the helicopter waiting for the only other alive survivor to get on, and then I saw the smoker hop up on the side just watching us. I had never been more creeped out by a zombie in my entire lifetime, it was just as the AI had some deep hatred for us that only the video game knew about. Which leads me to believe the video game actually has a deep hatred for me, put into the form of a smoker.

My favorite infected to be is either: The Tank: At first I hated it, because you either incap everyone or they decide to kick you. But once I got the hang of it, I ended up incapping everyone on the team most of the time. I also like to think of me as a better tank than most, since I don't go around killing special infected to take their kills.

Or the Hunter: Mainly because, to be a good hunter, you have to be patient, yet fast pace. It's an interesting variety.

Edit: The hunter is better than the tank IMO, mainly because I just learned to do a verticle wall jump. And where other special infected would fall and die, a good hunter could save himself by wall jumping back up to a safe area.

... I'm like Mandi on this, my favourite special infected is a hunter and the infected I love to be is a hunter. :3

Why do I like the hunter? Something about the way it attacks isn't as soft as the other infected. Sure, the smoker practically strangles you to death, the charger beats you to death, etc, but something about straddling your prey and tearing their innards out is just awesome.

Why do I like being the hunter? Well... I spent about a month, maybe longer, just learning about the hunter like an obsessed dumbass, and I just love showing off what I learned. Wall pouncing, wall kicking, vertical walljumping, the works. I love every bit of the hunter.

I agree with KillerJay. The Hunter is very unique and it's better and more fun to attack the survivors. I'm not that good as a Hunter because I always pounce without aiming or some other dumb mistake. The special infected that I am usually the best at more than the others would probably be the Smoker or the Boomer. But still, I prefer learning more about the Hunter's tactics and skills so I can get better at it rather than being a Boomer or Smoker, easily attacking the survivors with no problem whatsoever.

The Spitter. I love her design, and there's nothing more satisfying really than a successful spit, hearing the bells ring repeatedly. A close second is the Jockey because I love the way it attacks, the survivors quotes while being attacked and it's by far the funnest pinning infected.

That's the thing for me. Sure, it's fun to leap around as a hunter, but in the end, it's quite limited compared to the other pinners. You pretty much jump on them and that's it, meanwhile the Smoker quietly drags them away, the charger bowls through the whole team and the Jockey runs away with them.

Oh I see, yeah the Hunter has a lot of variety to it, you can go to a lot of places, and also its soooo cool when you pounce a survivor for a 25 damage., you can do alot with the Hunter.

Also the Spitter can do alot of damage and ' Crazy Neck ' is right, I love hearing the bells when you connect with the spit as well.

Charger because its ova powed

**Resident4Rising** · 08-02-11, 05:05 AM

The Charger has intant kills places, and so awesome when you pull them of at like ' Dead Center ' or the Parish, I like that.

I love the Charger. Definitely my favorite because of the way he can take out survivors in not even a minute, which means other Survivors have to work fast. Also the way he can charge Survivors into water or off edges. Unfortunately, I'm terrible with the Charger.

I'm for sure best with the Spitter. Most Survivors like to stick together in bunches which really helps when I'm a Spitter. I usually get at least 100 damage with a good spit which is about 80% if the time.
