Would definitely enjoy seeing the Director alter paths in multiplayer maps. Honestly I'd just like to see more maps with more than one way to the end.

There's a Director behind the scenes of every LFD/LFD2 game being played and he controls everything? That's crazy. How do you get this job?

I'd love to see the smoker replaced by another skill-based SI. As it is the smoker is the only SI that takes basically no skill to operate. You point in the general direction of a SV and click. The tongue automatically aims itself.

Maybe replace the smoker with a similar SI, except instead of just clicking at a target, you have to aim and predict SV movement to send out your "tongue." The tongue would go a set distance at a set speed, if it hit nothing it would immediately retract, if it touched any SV on it's route, they would be pulled back in.

Zombie wolf pack. Like the tank they are a boss, but all 4 SI players get to control them. 1000 health each, they leap attack and pin like hunters.

I like that idea... but for l4d it would have to be modified to be humans. So, some sort of group/job.... like a dance group that got zombified...

Au contrair mon frere! If you can't pick a player out of a pack of them you aren't trying hard enough. More often that not I can pick a player out of the four of them even if he's ahead of a couple others. Obviously if there's one directly in the middle between us I can't. But I can hit my intended target with the tongue FAR more often than I can accurately pick someone with a charger.

Last night for instance I had one guy in no mercy that was orange and he was surrounded by greens (two in front of him and one behind). If your example held true I'd have just grabbed a random one, likely the green behind. But I snagged him and did it rather easily because I know where to target the tongue.



(yes I'm not feeling particularly artistic today.)

I am going to derail the conversation and say:

Mr. Blonde OPS, your avatar scares me. Plain and simple.... perfect creepy factor
