Poll: Best Left 4 Dead special infected

Charger is the best non-tank infected. Many 'o time I've killed the whole team in one well aimed charge.
It's hard to choose one as they all are very useful in different situations, but while she is the ugliest ***** in the game, she makes the coolest sounds so I'd have to say the spitter is my favourite.
The Boomer as that's the one who starts it all; the massive confusion from which every other Infected can profit. It blinds survivors and forces them to stop for a while, defending against the horde of regular infected you just made.
It gives the Spitter an opportunity to split them up or just damage them outright when they're corner camping for the duration of the puke, it gives the Jockey an opening as the survivors are blinded, it gives the Smoker an opening for the same reason and as the survivors are pretty much forced to stand still for a while it makes the Charger's job a lot easier too. The Hunter can then pounce anyone who tries to rescue one of the others.
All it takes is one well-played, well-timed Boomer and it's all over. No other Special Infected has that ability, save for the Tank but I don't think that one counts.

Jockey. The manic cackle, the scampering feet and the way that you can make a team panic like crazy if one of their ranks gets pulled back is what makes it appeal to me.
Charger or Smoker is probably second choice, as they delay the Survivors' progress and make them really pissed off.

Charger, because I take out an entire team if they're on a ledge, or with a Spitter.
I like the Boomer as well, since he's deadly when you boom when a Tank's around (and no one can tell what the hell is going on).

Personally my favourite special to play is the Spitter, but I seem to be an anomaly. One good spit in a tight space can end the whole game.
Everyone has their moment to shine but since L4D2 Chargers offer the most reliable amount of damage and spitters force teams to wait, get split or put the hurt in.
Smokers got nerfed in L4D2, Jockey's up until Realism Versus didn't have much effect save some lucky runs/classic spots. Hunters don't have access to a lot of pounces in L4D2 comparing to the original, the boomer is great but suffers from his bile charge taking up forever.

They WOULD have if Microsoft weren't complete dicks on what can and can't be updated in 360 games.PurpleSky said:
