The Charger
The Charger "charges" the survivors forcing them to disperse should they be huddled together. The Mutant can hit multiple survivors with one blow and can also slam a survivor multiple times to the ground until a teammate kills the Charger. (The main goal of the Charger is to prevent players from camping in boxed areas)
The Spitter
The female Spitter has an area attack that can split up the survivors or flush them out of their hiding spots
The Jockey:
The Jockey is a small special infected who can jump on a survivors back and essentially steer a player to its desired direction causing a "breakup" in the team.
Uncommon/Common Infected :
Hazmat:
The Hazmat is a Uncommon Infected and cannot be set on fire, Molotov's will not be of any use. In order to kill them one must shoot it with a primary weapon or by using melee
weapons.
Mudmen:
The Mudmen are Infected that only appear in swampy areas. They cant be killed by Molotovs. They walk on all 4's like a dog and come from the water so you cant see them until it's too late.
Riot Infected:
The Riot Infected can only be killed from behind which forces players to move further away from each other making them more vunerable to other threats.
Infected Clowns:
The Infected clowns have bells on their shoes which attracts more Infected. Who wouldn't be scared of a "Zombie Clown"?
Left 4 Dead 2 is set for release on November the 17th 2009 (US) (EU 20th) for Xbox 360 and PC.
