Um… GoW2 and Mirror’s Edge.

Forgive me, but you know I wasn’t that excited about L4D, I just plan on getting it because you’re getting it.

360, will probably get PC version at a later date.

I’m shocked to hear that, what 360 games ARE on the list?

Afraid it isn’t on the list… I’m afraid a £50 Xbox repair saw to that.

What did you get it for? PC?

Yeah you do, but the radius is a bit poor <10 Yards I think.

I presume L4D is on your Xmas list? I look forward to some sick 4-Man campaigns

I think an ET related post holds that honor … I’ll just check

Do you actually get boomer puke on you when they explode? Because you should…

Hmmm … I think if the blind lasted longer and a 15 yard knockback happened, keeping in mind Boomers are designed to be used primary in conjunction with hordes of NPC zombies it could be pretty useful.

The easiest way to look at it is:

Smokers detach members from the party
Hunters incap and do heavy damage
Boomers.
Tanks designed to do heavy damage and take heavy damage (In reality is a great distraction, who’s going to worry about smokers when there’s a tank?)

Or a stun or daze?

The boomer’s only real use is to blind people, as it was said on 1UP Yours if you’ve got smokers dragging away your party members and you’re surrounded by the horde … Being blind is a serious fucking problem.

BUT…. 30+ Second (60?) cooldown and it only lasts a few seconds … Needs desperate improving.

Explosion knockback perhaps?

The Boomer is definitely rubbish.

I had a rather amusing experience where one fell off a roof and promptly exploded from the fall damage. I have never felt less scared of a zombie.
