Basic Infected Nicknames
Basic Infected Nicknames
So, by this point, everyone who's played Left 4 Dead has come to know and love the special infected: Boomers, Smokers (alternate name: Jackass), Hunters, Witches, and Tanks. But in between all of those special infected are lots of wandering normal infected, and sometimes they act a little differently than you expect. So, I've come up with my own nicknames for regular infected that do stuff that's a little out of the ordinary.
Ninja - Ninjas are zombies that manage to come up behind you, regardless of how much you check behind you, how closely you listen, and how many teammates you've got covering you. Somehow, despite checking that corner 10 seconds ago, there's a zombie popping out of there, completely silent, beating on your spine.
The Arcer or The Curveball - The standard zombie formula is this: Stand around unaware until startled, then charge the survivors in a relatively straight line. But occasionally you'll get a crafty one.
If 1 is the starting positions, and 2 is the standard zombie path, 3 is the Arcer. For little or no reason, sometimes zombies will swing around the side and try and flank you. When in small groups, this doesn't present much of a problem, but when you've got some coming straight at you, and a couple curveballing you from both sides, it turns bad fast.
The Theatric - I rarely actually use this name, but I definitely see them a lot: zombies that just won't fall down unless they add that flare of melodrama. Sure, you hit them square in the chest with the hunting rifle, and they're most certainly dead... but they want to wave their arms around and imitate a Shakespearean actor before the hit the ground. Tend to waste a lot of ammo on these.
Any (loving) nicknames you guys have come up with for regular zombies? Or just me..?

These guys right here scare the crap out of me. For the short time I've had the game, it never fails that just as I turn around from checking a spot I here their sound effects directly behind me.
Very accurate desciptions Itchy!!

Re: Basic Infected Nicknames
Theres also a a Ninja variation who will continue to elude you no matter how many times he hits you.
WHACK
Turn to the right, shoot a zombie.
WHACK
Turn back to the left, hear your teammate shoot a zombie.
WHACK
Repeat until you finally do see where you're getting hit from. Happens most frequently in dark rooms with the pump shotty.

The Drama Teacher - I absolutely love the ones who let out a pathetic OH-HO when they die. 9 times out of 10 it's the last one to die in a group so his deathly moans are usually the only sound you hear.
The Gurgle Turkey - These guys sound like an overzealous, gurgling zombie turkey. You know the kind

Re: Basic Infected Nicknames
There needs to be an addition to the Theatric above. Last night while playing with Itchy and Flobee, I noticed that when set the zombies on fire some of them have this dramatic staggering death walk. Hence, the Flaming Theatric.

Zombie Fight Club-- Occasionally, you'll come across a pair of Infected wailing on each other, while a crowd of Infected look on. It never fails to amuse; more so when you set them on fire.
The first rule of Zombie Fight Club is you don't talk about Zombie Fight Club.
