So here's my idea. You have an infected that can have two special infected skill sets. Obviously it can't be TOO cheap (i.e. hunter + tank, jockey + boomer), but they can do a little toggling.
Maybe if you take this route, your attacks/reaction times/etc. are lesser than if you specialize in just one. Also, it'd be pretty funny watching a Spitter animating to plump up into a Boomer or a Jockey roiding up to a Tank.

I rest my case.
That would cock up the game in so many ways it's fucking unbelievable. Each Infected has a very specified role, even if it was weaker by giving a single entity two modes of operation you have already created a cheap character.
For instance, if they was a Jockey Boomer you could easily spray a team blind and then run off with one of them while their teammates couldn't see and had to deal with a horde of normal infected.
It just wouldn't work.
This is an interesting idea.
Let me throw out one of my own... How about if there was a 'Chameleon' infected that would take the appearance of one of your teammates, with the player's name floating over their head and everything, but their face or clothes were messed up so you could identify them on closer inspection? They could sneak into the group during hectic fights or when players get separated, it would really start to make people paranoid.
In Left 4 Dead 3, I want to play as a paraplegic, because the survivors are slightly overpowered in L4D2.
