I've been having a idea for a new infected.
Think a 4 legged infected who's main purpose is to get a survivor out of a corner/closet/bathroom with a small area of Effect. Here's how he would work:
Mouse 1: Charge (Can't move while doing this)
Mouse 2: Suicide (Area of effect smoke)
The special can not attack, only charge, and he must be at a minimum range to attack a target, the charge would take around 1.5 second to "cast", and the suicide 2 seconds. The survivor who get directly hit by a charge is completely stunned and can not move/attack for 3 seconds, once the survivor hit, the infected will manually suicide resulting a small smoke area dealing important damage if you stay in. The smoke would last around 5-6 seconds and be distinctive from the smoker's smoke.
The infected would be invulnerable to melee, you have to shot him, his carapace would make anything non-shotgun more useful. And his charge cast could be canceled by a melee, pretty much the only thing melee would have on him.
==========
So far we have 2 infected who pin down Survivors, and one who's got a unique purpose, all these 3 infected can't really deal more than one infected in a corner/closet/small room simply spamming the melee key. I seriously consider a new infected like above would make gameplay even more interesting.
Think about it, the Boomer is very effective in a open hallway with zombies coming from everywhere, the new 4-legged infected would be almost useless in a place like this, unless he use a charge properly. While the boomer is nearly useless against survivors camping a decent spot. Vise-Versa.
In other words, the 4-legged infected + Boomer combo would be deadly if used the way it should be used.

And no more hunter infinite respawn exploit in Versus.
Hopefully they unlock the "Versus" difficulty so we can set Versus to advanced difficulty. Expert is just overkill in versus. But normal is a joke. Might as well just sit down Act 1 of no mercy - apartments.

I am sure you guys are aware of the exploit in No Mercy where you can skip a the entire encounter outside the little burger joint and gas station.
I assume this will also be gone with the patch.

The door is a little lame, though I do it sometimes in singleplayer or in versus if the other team does it. That crescendo is such a great spot for the infected to do damage, that it really does change the map a great deal by skipping it.

Cool! A campaign based on Resident Evil!

And the majority who do have working headsets and mics are either non english speakers, under 18 years old (usaully under 14 too.. was playing zombie panic and had to vote kick someone off because they sounded 6), has their volume so low that you can't hear them anyway or failing all that has a dmaged mic so its all scratchy.
I haven't tried the game with a headset yet. My brother usually uses his. The game is straightforward enough where everyone knows what's going on and what they need to do. The only really necessity for them would be when something hysterical happens.
It's more for infected that you really need planning. With survivors you can do well by just playing by the rules. Stick together, melee pinned dudes, profit.
As infected you really have to set up ambushes fast and be able to pull off simple plans, which is only possible over voice. Just super basic stuff like who goes first, and when the boomer is planning on striking.
