I suppose I am looking to deeply into this, but I do this with all valve games, thinking about explanations for... unexplained stuff.
So I am wondering, are my conclusions obvious?
For example,
The Smoker: I have a feeling that the Smoker's Tongue is actually a mutation of it's intestinal track, which explains it's length and texture.
The smoke is a more obvious explanation, like an octopus releasing ink when attacked or in danger so it can cloak itself.
The Witch: Since the infected appear to becoming their own predatory species, the witch is similar to a spider, in that she tricks and waits for her prey.
Essentially she is like a predatory animal that mimics another species of prey. In this case, she mimics a crying woman in order to lure humans to see what's wrong, and once you are close enough you become subject to her attack.
I think the boomer and the Tank are very self explained however.
The boomer covering you in some sort of pheromone like an insect to attract the rest of the hive, and the tank well.... just a mutated muscular dude.
Has there been any confirmation that L4D will actually have an explained story? If so, I am guessing it will be explained in Valve's usual way of storytelling? (AKA, people who are super observant are the people who will understand the story more)
