Boycotter "invented" Spitter

That's right, you read correctly. One of the main Left 4 Dead 2 boycotters supposedly invented the Spitter infected in Left 4 Dead 2, months before it was shown at Comic Con.

Eurogamer.net reports on the story where it turns out that Walking_Target posted on the Steam forums back in May:

Concept: an SI capable of lobbing a fair size glob of 'saliva' on an arcing path; at maximum (45* angle) on flat terrain, this glob of spit would travel roughly the same distance as a smoker's tongue. Obviously, if the spitter has a better vantage point they can lob their projectile a fair distance further.

Walking_Target, to be fair, does acknowledge that the idea wasn't necessarily stolen by Valve in a Steam Community Announcement. To read the full story, head on over to Eurogamer.net.
