The Interview with Valve's Chet Faliszek on the Official Xbox 360 Magazine talks with the Valve writer about Left 4 Dead 2, in an interview that has apparently been carefully aged since before the release of Valve's zombie shooter sequel. They discuss various aspects of the game, including a revelation about a rejected Left 4 Dead 2 zombie, which was called "The Leaker," presumably in honor of the employee in charge of securing the Half-Life 2 source code. "With The Leaker, the idea was a kind of Boomer that could take damage, and shoot out spouts of goo. And you could plant yourself and explode - be this walking bomb," Faliszek explains. "The problem is there's a warning that you're going to do that. So when you go to plant yourself, everyone else runs away, and you just die and don't hurt anybody. It's pretty unsatisfying. The idea isn't entirely bad, and some of that we brought over to The Spitter."
