What?
If you don't like the charger I can't imagine what you think of the smoker. It has the highest-nontank infected health in the game, deals the highest non-tank infect damage in the game, is capable of closing distance fastest only second to the hunter, and is capable of knocking a player back 80 feet away from the group in a split second, way faster than the smoker could ever hope to. AI doesn't understand this, and that's why it sucks. AI just runs around slashing people... as does every other SI class. Put the charger in a players hands... I assure you, it's gonna rock peoples socks off.
Kinda like the boomer. The boomer is trivial as hell in campaign, the few times he DOES get someone he only gets that 1 person, and even if he gets more than 1, the ai hunters never take the opportunity to ambush anyway... Yet when the full-game released we all fell to our knees to the glory of the boomer; THE most essential class in L4D1.
I suspect the charger will have a similar (if a bit less dramatic) of an effect.
Otherwise, the animation was overtly simple, there was very little movement, and very little art. Very little message, immature and uninteresting dialogue, that appeals only to a very small audience. The sheer purpose of this animation was to petition... That's fine but at least do it in a good way... Just because anything you submit will get front page doesn't mean you should halfass your work.
