Varying Zombie Population
This plugin makes the population of zombies spawned by the director less static and more dynamic, by having each zombie have a varying health and speed value. One zombie may die from a shot to the leg, and another standing right beside him may take 2 or 3 shotgun shells to the chest.
Headshots are still instant kills in Left 4 Dead 1, as this is build into the game. Left 4 Dead 2 is a bit more complicated, but the more health a zombie has, the more likely it is to stay alive even after loosing some limbs (L4D2 only)

The idea behind this plugin: The gameplay changes significantly in both coop and versus. You typically expect 1 shotgun shot to kill a zombie no matter what, but when that one zombie comes along that can absorb 3 solid shots, you are suddenly in a difficult situation, having to deal with slightly stronger zombies. Kind of like a lower version of uncommon common, some zombies are just different than others, say perhaps one zombie was more physically fit before the infection hit, and one was weak and skinny - this adds some diversity to the zombie population.
