But that Captain's salami tray was tight, yo. You plump for the roast pork loin, dogg?

The trailer makes me want to see go see Zombieland in theaters more than it makes me want to buy L4D2.

That's a Jockey, it's like a smoker except that it doesn't suck allows you to take limited control over a survivor by riding him.

The trailer is nice, but will Coach love his peels as much as Louis?

Smokers don't suck.  Seriously.  I prefer having a smoker to a hunter in VS. by far.. It's all about the angles and the setup.

Yeah, smoker is the most enjoyable class to play in vs. mode.

Unless you've preordered you probably won't find the demo yet.

Even if you did, it's not out yet.  It's been delayed.

Just saw this from John Scalzi on twitter:

The Left4Dead 2 Demo is sitting, fully downloaded yet currently inaccessible, in my Steam app. TAUNTING ME.

...Except when you're indoors and have very little room to work with.

However in that situation, all the Special Infected are screwed.  The only exception being the Tank.

Nah, I'd say Boomer excels in the indoor scenarios.

But even indoors, you can wreck havoc with a smoker if you know the right areas.  Especially if your working in tandem with the other players for a well timed ambush.

At the very least the other special infected can serve some limited purpose. The hunter doesn't make a sound while he's upright - also he moves quickly. If you're lucky, you can get some good swipes in that damage the entire group.

The boomer can boom easier, the hunter can claw, the smoker moves slowly and can try to pull one guy away during a boom, maybe he'll get lucky and his tongue won't get instantly destroyed.

Yes, against teams that don't work well together you can do some small amounts of damage in enclosed areas with the special infected.

Oh, and Booming a group in an enclosed place is a serious amateur mistake (unless you have no other choice coming up).

Yes, there are a fair amount of places where the infected team really have no choice but to try and do something while the survivors run around in a tiny closed space. No Mercy 4 is just one example.
