Ahh, so dual-wielding isn't for everyone, just one of the characters. I can't wait to see what the other three characters are like.

dual wielding midget lol.

I hope Gearbox take their time with this game. I love the first one... hell, I still need to get through the DLC with my bro, and I'm all for waiting till the sequel is right before I play it because there's more than enough co-op titles coming out this year to keep me occupied. Plus I don't want Aliens Colonial Marines to be postponed yet again.

Making one weapon type per company is kind of depressing to me, but whatever. As long as the other characters are cool to play as I won't have a problem.

aww only one character gets to dual wield? least the upgrading weapons/armor sounds nice. also, wouldn't a leather neckerchief defeat the point of a neckerchief?

why is it that studios always promise the features they failed to deliver in their first game? just sayin'

i really hope they get split-screen + online working this time. 6-8 players would be nice too.

I wear my neckerchiefs for fashion, not comfort. Patent leather is 'in' this year!

Some more character customization would be refreshing. Choosing from 4 character types and changing their clothing color is a little confining.

I hope they will have the split screen couch coop just like the last borderlands.

I think Gearbox is limiting the weapons this time because we all knew the vast majority of weapons in the first game were cr@p and with a weapon upgrade/spec system, the grinding associated with the first will be limited. For those who want to remake their Hellfire, if we all start off with the same SMG, then we'd all be working towards acquiring currency so we can upgrade the scope, rate of fire, damage output, accuracy, and frequency of fire damage. It's less random but it might also make the game a little more boring if we have to suffer using an underpowered weapon for the early parts of the game. Hopefully, upgrades will come fast and a plenty.

@mugsy

hopefully the upgrade system has a limit per weapon, based on level and rarity, or even better imo is if they had you find parts as well as guns so I could build my own.

Considering the art style for the last game changed 11 months before it's release the developer had to throw out a lot of original plans like each company having their own unique weapons and the entire story was revamped.

So here's hoping there's more RPG qualities with the story and that each new area doesn't feel like a the same place you left.

I looking forward to learning more, but this isn't a guaranteed buy for me.

@smurph - 6to8 characters would be great!

split-screen online is what i'm hoping for..

Would like to see more Mad Moxxi. She was one of the best characters in the game.

That's weird as hell, I could have sworn I put a huge response...

Well as long as they don't backpeddle it should be fine, like not offering things the first one offered. And more customization would go a very far away such as being able to choose from more thna 3 colors for a character. I'm not saying they need to go all fable beserk with the thing, just a little bit more of the customization like changeing the skin tone of a character to being able to buy all kinds of clothes or items for your character. Personly i don't care that much aboot it cuz I could learn to deal with it, but i feel it would boost sales to have some trivial atention getting things like that. Or maybe the ability to change weapon skins like in army of two:TFD that was a nice option.
Or unlocking cool stuff in the game if you already have certain achivemsnt in the first. And maybe a house that you could use like moxxi's bank, but with the hosue you go just go overbaord with that and and customize that a bit like being bale to buy machines to go in there or having a bed where you regenerate health if you sleep, that don't make no sense, but being able to store guns like it was moxxi would be awesome and have a bulliton board in the house that tells you how many kills you have, the time you've spent playing, how many weapons chest you've opened, etc random crap like that would would just be interesting to know, but ultimatly is kinda trivial so it's not really nesisary. or being able to cutomize yur car in yur own houses garage with better weapon, a custom pain job, but that might be a little too sainst rowey
Oh and avatar awards would be beyond amazing, not enough games have those in my opinion, it's a very underrated thing, I would hundred percent a marvel game if I knew it would net me a spider-man costume. So it would have been nice if the first one had at least given the characters clothes or a bloodwing pet.
And a huge limited edition would be sweet too, cuz the game has tghe potential to be massive, like the regular edition would juts be the one disk with pandora, but a limited edition could come with an extra two disks that are other planets and are new characters or somethuing huge and over the time top like that. It could just be that I lvoe the game, but i would love for BL2 to a more thna one disk game cuz it has the potential to evne go MMO so it shouldn't be any problem to let that game explode and go over the top with more thna one disk like Blue dragon or LA noir, I love games and all that, but getting more than one disk just feel to me like I'm getting all the material that the developers made like I'm not getting ripped off like how knox unlokced weapons in the borderlands disk that were already there just sitting around wasting space on my disk until knoxx unlokced the source code and alowed thme to spawn.
And I know it would be too much to ask for it to be more than 4 players so i won't go there evne go there evne though that would be off the chain. I just hope the new characters are as cool as the last one.
But ultimatley; whatever crazy crap I mention, it's all awesome and stuff, but each one of those things takes up space that could have been used to put evne more different kinds of guns or a new area and all kinds of stuff like that. so it's kinda a trade off with that unless the game has more thna one disk. Becasue due to the mass amount of guns and other generic BL stuff, there's not much space left on there cuz it's for the 360 who does use the new layered disks yet cuz the current 360 doesn't have the reader to read those yet and I'm still not surre when they will come out. But i digress, so much could be done with this game cuz it's such a hit, I just hope that they do the fans right cuz I want this to be a series with lots more coming after it.

Lets all hope that "More Madd Moxxi" doesn't turn into "More Underdome Arena battles. More Moxxi - less of the DLC that sucked.
Instead of just gun farming, I'd like to see some "make your own custom guns!" If you find the mod, you can use it and have no limits other than weight and ammo clip capacity.

Also, more customization in the vehicles - AND more vehicle combat. Maybe some aircraft!

I must be like the only one who wanted to put a cap into Moxxi's head.... she did nothing but piss me off.

Maybe it would take away from the simplicity of the game, but I wouldn't mind some very basic "armor" type drops. Just like Head, body and feet. The different types could not only increase defense against damage and elements, but could provide various boosts too.. like a helmet that increases your scope zoom, or shoes that make you run faster. Body armor that converts a percentage of the damage you receive into ammo. etc. I would also like it if that armor would actually change the appearance of your character (think Sacred 2 or Resistance 2 co-op mode)

i'm calling this now, the female character will be a wereskag

I'm sure you'll all be excited to hear this: I just watched an interview and Randy confirmed that it will have split screen online co-op

source?!?!!

--- Replying to ChronoSagaAddict -----

If that is true they are going to open up so many more doors for their game.

I think its this vid: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/ ... nds-2.aspx
I have no sound on this computer so I cant confirm.

--- Replying to blakepro -----
that's actually in our link dump so you'll probably see it up here soon

i'm listening to it right now... good co-op stuff!

edit: split screen + online confirmed

edit 2: split screen may not be able to host games, only connect to a non=split screened host.

Thanks for helping us non-speakered people out with an update smurphster!

yeah, randy said in a video i was watching that slipscreen online co-op is in the works but not sure if split screen cna connect to split screen, it might just be split to two other independents
