Common Infected

The Horde
The "horde" is a term people dumb fucks who herp derp your asshole and DRILLING WITH THERE dicks untill ur ass exploads LIKE ZOEYS ANAL and bright lights.

usually recommended for fighting large amounts of Infected. Horde attacks also slow down players, if they do not communicate this to other players, they can easily be left behind.



Darkness is your BITCH
The Common Infected are obviously known to be attracted by the noise of car alarms and other loud sounds caused by most Crescendo Events, however, most have not realized the flashlight can also enrage Infected. Its effect is similar to that of a pipe bomb, as the bright, flashy lights irritate them, drawing their attention to the player. Flickering the lights on and off will disturb them faster. Using this knowledge may help if two of the Survivors have their flashlights on while the others do not, causing the two "aggro men" to become focused on while their partners are able to break off the rest of the Infected.

In addition, the glare of the flashlight can sometimes cause your vision to focus directly at where the flashlight is pointed at. Shutting off the flashlight during a horde is usually a good idea, and practice using the silhouettes to identify Infected. In low-light situations this can drastically improve your vision of oncoming Infected. In addition, most Left 4 Dead 2 levels are in areas with generous light, yet shining your flashlight on the Infected will still disturb them. Use natural light whenever possible to avoid Infected.

Dulymals, so they die instead of turning into Infected, although birds can be heard in Death Toll, Blood Harvest, and The Sacrifice, crickets can be heard during Dark Carnival, and the barking of dogs can be heard at the begining of the trailer for Left 4 Dead 2. And in some campaigns, birds can be seen flying (Rochelle claims that the virus is spread through mammals, just like Rabies, so birds would not be affected). It may also be that there are various animalsackground, most likely produced from these sound files. However, there is a strong possibility that the file could h

 * With a carefully timed jump and a teammate covered in bile, one can run across the heads of the Infected and use them like a bridge. However you can only do this for a short while, since you start to slowlds can be blown off with any weapon (again, also lacking the new effects). And unlike Left 4 Dead 2, knocking its head off will not produce a severed head in contrast to Left 4 Dead 2's Common Infected. However cutting its head off with slashing weapons like the Katana will make a severed head appear, but needs luck as the patient hasn't got any new gore effects, yet.
 * The original Common Infected models and textures exist in the game files in left4dead2_dlc3, however they are only used as ragdolls because they use a lot more memory, have strange colors on some areas, square shadows and lack the other features the new Infected possess (better gore effects, gradients and so on). The "Infected Suit guy" still appears in the population.txt under "test_common_male_suit", but again, lacks gore effects etc..
 * There is a glitch when you shoot off the Infected's arms off, and it is still living, it will attack you and deal damage, though it has no arms to attack you with.
