New Boss Zombies!!

Following Alan's thread which read:
Just like we've seen with Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead will see lots of extra goodies long after it comes out. Expect to see new weapons, levels, and even boss zombies in the months after Left 4 Dead ships.

What do you think Valve could do to create a fun to use, yet challenging zombie boss that forces the humans to use teamwork? I'd like to see a zombie that grabs a survivor and begins to impale them with a razor-sharp tail and poisoning them as it does so. What do you think?

We already have a thread about this.

Ugh. Ignore him.


Um, new boss Zombie. One that uses a fear inducing pheramone that causes you to lose control of your character for a short period of time or that causes you to flee and hide, or something. That'd be good.

Nice.
I'd quite like one which causes a huge flash which blinds the player and mutes their hearing like a flashbang grenade, then the zobie can seperate them by throwing them aside, so when they do regain their senses, they're pretty screwed. :P

Guess then that would mess up the gameplay.

I personally hate things that take control away from you... Cutscenes and the like; OK. But if its just going to be like yanking the keyboard/mouse/gamepad from your hand in the middle of a fight then I would hate to see it.

Why are you so pessimistic? Can't you just be like 'Oh yeah that would be cool'. I mean... come on!
'That would mess up the gameplay'... You realise that if they introduced something new they're going to balance it? Not just throw it in and go 'look a new boss lol'...

lol

I suppose if you are pessimistic everything else is a bonus, ryt? Have you noticed that the bosses could be compared to animals?
Tank = Rhino
Hunter = Leopard
Boomer = Explosive Beaver
Smoker = Smoking frog
Witch = Your Mother

I think if they do introduce another boss, it would be comparable to an animal, because there is a limit to imagination and it would be much easier to pick and mix with existing animals.

It started out good... But then it went downhill...

I mean, since when did your mother look as hot as the Witch?

ahh..touché

Yh i kinda lost it there a bit...I couldn't think of an animal that resembled a psycho-bitch.
I suppose there aren't any long range zombies that don't directly put themselves in danger. Perhaps a creature that spits sticky stuff that binds a player to the spot or limits his/her movement?

It would be cool for the infected side.


How about a zombie that can kill by screaming, but it would need to be up close to you.

like a rly loud cricket...


Actaully I think there too many human-zobies in movies and games. I think they should bring out an animal infected to change the theme a little. maybe a dog or something..hell it doesnt even have to be a boss, just a bog-standard infected!

and in resident evil, but i dont think zombie animals are used often enough..I just think it'd be good to have the odd dogs sprinted around the maps, chasing, stalking the survivors, preparing to tear out their throats...wearing a bow..

Yeah and it like makes you all groggy and unable to operate your player properly in that way your team would have to come and help you. It would also make you work as a team.

I thought I'd maybe put one in that makes your hands shake when it is near, and if it grabs you, you can barely aim for a while afterwards or something like that. Imagine if it was working with a Boomer.

There's already enough retards in game who do this on their own.

Waste of a boss zombie IMO.
