Ok so anyone who knows me, knows I am psyched for L4D2 so any news I found out about it makes me salivate profusely.
Looking around the net I found info on the new special infected that will be revealed at PAX this year is the Jockey, in case you were wondering a Journalist wrote Valve who did in fact confirm the Jockey's existence.
The Jockey changes up the ball game big time his ability is to pounce on the back of a survivor (similar to hunter?) and start ripping them apart... but it doesn't stop there once he is on the back of a survivor he can steer them... yes you heard correctly he will be able to control their movement... I can only imagine the sweet chaos that will happen in Left 4 Dead 2 versus now.
So far Valve has really changed the entire Dynamic of Left 4 Dead 2, now gone are the days when we would huddle in a closet meleeing the hordes away the Spitter has seen to that as well as the fatigue meter from using melee attacks, the charger will see to it that groups of tight knit survivors will be split up, and the Jockey seems like a deadlier version of the hunter. I enjoy the changes that Valve has made so far as it really pushes teamwork to a whole new level as we will have to develop our strategies on the fly.
So what are your thoughts on the changes being made by Valve, or on the new Special Infected that have been added to the game?

Im just hoping that the first L4D does eventually make its way to the PS3.
ReplyDeleteYou may see it before too long, I know it sucks to have something on other consoles and not on the other.. seems foolish we should all have the choice to get a console we like and enjoy the same games.
