The Left Out Screamer

The Screamer was a character developed during the early days of the first Left 4 Dead. The concept behind the screamer is a combination of both the Witch and Boomer we have now. The Screamer would roam various stages of a map and much like the Witch, when you come close to him you start to piss him off. Get too close and he starts running and screaming. His screams work similar to the Boomer in that hordes of zombies will come rushing at you. He needed to be killed for the hordes to stop coming.

The Screamer was cut from L4D because the developers thought it was too difficult for the Survivors.

Maybe it is time to see the Screamer come to life in L4D3?

  • the screamer looks like it belongs in the game when i get this game im killing the hell out of that screamer it looks great i wander what the tank is going to look like if u do put it in their and all of the new specail infected i got tosee

  • I'm not really interested in having a "new" special infected in the game that basically does exactly the same thing as the boomer. I'm sure you guys could come up with something much cooler than a re-hash of a previous character.

  • The Screamer.. Now I think it would either to difficult or to easy. If he would work like the witch and you needed to piss him off by going close to him, he would also need to have as much life as she got, but because he would run away, you wouldn't be able to just shoot him down fast, exept if you offcause cr0wn him. Might be an idea if they go back to the scenery that Left 4 Dead (1) had, because it was so dark that you would be able to hide him in the shadows. Then you can give him as much life as a normal zombie, let him run around (rather that than away, just running fast around could also end up being quite hard to catch)and scream, and he would have a quite good balance in that.

  • i think they should make another special in infeced called the crawler, he crawls all over the place and he lets out toxic gas in order to damage the survivers and make the players screen go blurie for a while but he mostly comes with zombies and tanks/witches he never goes alone. well you could say hes a bit like a spider he grabs you and starts to hit you. but he tries to get a surviver alone. :D

    • But then if they were to put the infected you said in l4d3 they would be copying one call of duty black ops Nazi zombies
