Talk:The Infected

Cause for the Infection
My theory for the infection is that it is directly related to cows and fast food. I think the cows were given something to increase production or something which in turn were sent to restuarants. Eaten directly by future boomers and common(did not eat as much). The virus creating special infected mutates from what the host has in their body(tank-perhaps steriods)(hunter-drugs)(boomer-ate hamburgers a lot, direct contact with the source of the infection)(smookers-chemicals in cigerates and cigars.) This is my first comment so I don't know if I did something wrong our what. sidenote-cows farmhouse finale thing or some other level(dont have game) are dead in piles and in dead air a poster says to contact security if u have been in contact with livestock in the past 48 hours. i dont firmly believe this but it sounds kind of logical. no theory on witch yet (please leave comments on this page) XboxBoxLiveGuy321 03:39, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

It sounds plausible but i it sounds very simlar to the dead rising moral that america is consuming too much food and that someone try a new expermential production idea that goes wrong turning everybody into zombies.

Also wouldnt this be more relevant put on to the infection talk page?--Spygon 09:47, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

The Zombie Dog
Okay, okay, I didn't see any harm in putting it as an otherwise invisible comment in the article, but I'll ask here; can someone please find the names of this supposed Zombie Dog's sound files? If they aren't found and confirmed, I'd suggest that that section of the article be removed. We don't need something here that goes entirely without confirmation of any sort. - §tigma-231 ¤ ৳ here's a hole in my neighbourhood [ talk  ][ cont ] 02:10, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Thanks, I don't have the PC version, so I couldn't do it myself. - §tigma-231 ¤ ৳ here's a hole in my neighbourhood [ talk  ][ cont ] 02:56, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * "Zombie Dog" is very obviously the original codename for the Hunter. It's because he crawls like a dog. All of the special infected had different original codenames (Tank/Hulk, Smoker/Tongue Zombie, Boomer/Explode Zombie). You can hear these same "zombie dog" sounds used for the Hunter in earliest beta footage of Left 4 Dead (See: ). As is plainly evident, Valve never intended on using these sounds for anything other than the Hunter. In fact all of the special infected originally used different sounds. Since it's clear that the there was never going to be any zombie canine, I'll take the liberty of removing said nonsense claim myself. 71.194.180.133 03:29, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
