In showing off the new Swamp Fever campaign in Left 4 Dead 2, Valve also announced the new Special Infected: The Spitter. This creepy looking girl looks pregnant, so freaky! She spits a glob of goo on the ground that burns anyone standing in it for damage, preventing players from stacking up. Can’t wait to see her in action by the elevator during No Mercy level 3. Here’s a pic:

In a funny twist of events, one of the guys leading the Left 4 Dead 2 boycott, came up with some of the ideas around this Special Infected back in May. Of course, someone else thought about it too back in November of 2008. Draw your own conclusions!
Also, here’s a silly promo video someone made to celebrate the Spitter in Left 4 Dead 2:
