New L4D2 specials?

[Dagodweezl]

Ok I looked around but couldn't find much on this
I know they have the charger but has anyone else found any of the others?
if not what do you think/wan't the others to be?

Edit:also are they planing on changing up the skins for the specials?

 

[ssgt splatter]

I dunno. We'll just have to wait to see.

I heard there's only one more than The Charger, one that is yet to be announced.

No, there's three new ones; the Charger and two more.

What's the Charger do? Is he the one in the trailer?

It's a fast tank, but its weaker and turns like a ford mustang

Spoiler

not very well

Someone posted it earlier: he builds up bursts of speed easily, so he's basically a Tank that moves in a straight line really fast in order to prevent people from camping out in closets during waves.

EDIT: Oh, and he can't turn well.

Someone else on The Escapist posted that there was only one more, ah well.

All I know is that he's the one in the trailer.

Yeah, there was a Tank too but, the zombie with one overly mucular arm and a small, scrawny arm was the Charger.

Still waiting on the big reason they needed to make a sequel instead of patching L4D due to it being out less than the time it is going to take to create a new one.

The teaser showed one difference game play wise being the melee weapons, aside from that newer player models and zombies looked nicer but being a teaser and being it took less than a year to create I doubt they made significant changes to the ol' source engine to make them a selling point for the new game.

The only way to really sell me on this game would be a shit load of specials, shit load of new weapons, shit load of new maps, campaigns, more versatile AI since the original AI wasn't bad it was just wasteful, and maybe a good boss to fight instead of the stupid horde rushes to end a campaign. Probably a better multiplayer such as a infection game where you infect humans until everyone is infected or some crazy shit.

And add a server browser to connect to shit better.

I seem to remember hearing about there being the Charger, a faster, weaker tank that disables and is good against campers, and that existing infected will have a chance of being immune to fire. It doesn't sound like much, but Valve, especially with L4D, seems to prefer polishing and tweaking existing mechanics instead of adding a greater variety of mechanics. Personally I'm more excited about more weapons, melee weapons, and a changeable environment dictated by the AI director.

As long as they keep the old ones. If people in Louisiana are mutating different to people in whatever-the-hell-city-this-is-vile, then something is definitely wrong

I don't think the Wandering Witch will count as a new Special; rather, I hope it'll be just a variant of the Witch, so that way there's like a 50-50 chance that any Witch could be a Wandering Witch. Plus it means we get one extra Special.

On the gameplay video I saw there was a weird looking zombie

Was the Dodge joke just a bit too obvious for you?

I'm not even remotely interested in cars, and even I thought a Dodge joke was extremely obvious.

Apparently the infected wearing biohazard suits will be immue to fire, but other than that i dont have the faintest idea.

They could just be a variant on an existing Special, nothing more.

In the gameplay video there was a witch moaning in the background.
