Just tested it, well I particularly liked the magnum pistol and then charger, can't wait to test it on versus when the full one comes, charger will be very useful to catch up a seperated person and quickly incapacite him/her, and Smoker does better damage now, which is better, for the Jokey, it looks like something easy to deal with but I think it will be useful to seperate a survivor even more if he/she didn't catch up with others, and quickly suiciding one member to their death from cliff or top of a building And I do not like the melee weapons, not fun enough to use particularly, and I really do miss the old characters, I didn't like any of them Oh and I do like the added sound of Smoker, hilarious XD

Yeah the infected roles have really changed. From what I've read, heard and seen, the roles are now as follows:

Hunter: killing separated survivors
Smoker: killing survivors from cover
Boomer: blinding and slowing survivors
Jockey: damaging and separating survivors
Charger: damaging clustered survivors (or killing separated ones)
Spitter: area denial through damage
Tank: maximally killing everything

I myself find it pretty good they were able to come up with some new roles. I couldn't have thought them up myself, probably. That and the community suggested every single one, probably .

Spitter is a very good idea really, hell, Jockey and Charger both good ideas aswell, I see nothing bad for the side of SI, new voices and textures for older SI, all is fine, what should I want more ?!

Somehow, I got demo version last night and play it. It was awesome and heck of fun.

I noticed some new items with 2 aid items and some 1 throwing item. I think call "vomited bomb" or something.

About new melee weapons, truly awesome and pretty handy to save ammos.

I remember I used to use the pistols and their melee in L4D for everything except the tank where I would fish out my M16.

Here's a way to play as infected in the L4D2 demo, apparently.

[BeefJeRKy]

Tried the demo on the 360 and it seems fun but the console experience is far removed from the PC experience I found. The new daytime levels are good though and still have dark interiors. The walking witch caught me by surprise as I thought it was just a common infected (fail I know ). The new special infected are terrific and the adrenaline pills are handier than I expected. The new weapons feel a lil excessive in variety but overtime I'll find out which is best I guess. L4D2 is gonna be good, but I'll make sure to get the PC version.

[Destiny]

I didn't even notice the walking witch when I walked past the fences after the boat dropped us off, and wondered why I suddenly got incap'd when a buncha common infected attacked us. The FN Scar is sorta like a three-shot M16...

[Enthusiasm]

I now to own this game. Installing it right now, anyone up for a L4D2 Friday eh?
