Do you remember when it was still possible to jump of roofs as a boomer to explode on other survivors due to fall damage?
since one of the early patches this isnt possible anymore, but this here is my new interpretation of boomer bombs.

when i started working on this video i thought it was only a fun technique until i saw clans using it in matches quite often. the clips werent recorded in clan matches though and the video is meant to be funny and entertaining.

4 boomer bombs were recorded with friends to match the lyrics. its not hard to guess which ones.^^

How it works:
what you need to do is gaining speed in spawn mode, then you jump (while still being in spawn mode) and then, while in air you need to spawn so you still have the speed you got from the spawn mode.
you can see some good spots in the video, most of them are roofs like the ones in no mercy.

I'm guessing that the speed helps a lot in avoiding being shot, although how far can you fall before the "survivors can see you" spawn thing kicks in?

they can see you once you spawned, check the video and watch for the color switches.
blue = in spawn mode orange = spawned.
against pubs you have a lot of time to fall.
against clans you will need to be tricky and use your teammates as distraction.
the BH1 bridge spot was used in a recent clan match i watched.
under the bridge its hard to spawn and vomit on a suvivor if they walk close to the wall.
the boomer bomb from the bridge allowed him to get right in front of the survivors in a short time and he managed to vomit on them.

I guess its soemthing to practice till you can get your timing right

oh i see i missunderstood your question.
you are able to spawn as long as YOU cant directly see any of the survivors. (first person view)
so yeah its all about timing, if you jump early enough (not at the ledges) you got good chances to make a perfect boomer bomb.

AtomicStryker from the steam forum made a custom menu background out of this video.
you can download it here:

For those interested, here's a Menu made from the main portion of this vid. Queen rockin in Background makes you not wanna leave the Lobby anymore.

installation:
go to your left4dead/media folder and replace the file l4d_lighthouse_bg01.bik with the downloaded one.
if you arent sure if you will like it you should backup the existing l4d_lighthouse_bg01.bik file.
