I am having a hard time to decide whether this or Demon's Souls will be my Game of the Year. They're both better than Arkham Asylum (and that is very good), and while Demon's Souls is more "game" , Borderlands is simply addictive and fun and playable! (And I haven't tried Uncharted 2 yet). I think this game will score well on the GOTY charts

I'm wondering around with one of these at the moment ...

It might be big, but it was no good against this ...

(another method was needed!

That's why I asked.

The name means nothing. At the moment.

It's actually not too bad a fight with that thing. I just used my shotgun I had at the time. I haven't gotten to it on my 2nd playthrough though. I expect it to be much tougher as most of the other big things have been much tougher this run.

Just got my first vehicle and find it a pig to drive.

I can sort of get it to go forwards in the direction I want, but if I need to reverse and turn I seem unable to get it to reverse and turn in the correct direction.

Vehicles use the same control method as Halo vehicles ... takes a little time, but soon becomes second nature.

Just got this. Loving it. Initially the weapons lacked oomph but I got a nasty couple of smg/ar weapons and that nailed the problem nicely. It's very world-of-shootcraft really, graphically very nice indeed. Lovely to see something distinct.

Never played the Halo games enough to get a vehicle.

Spent time last night trying (and failing) to get used to the controls of the vehicle.

Did go up a level shooting the level 10/11 skags near Bone-Head, along with him and his helpers, so not a total wash out.

Nice rocket launcher... could do with that for my soldier. I think my level 19 berserker has a more damaging one currently (!) but it isn't elemental infused. Been using the RL with the berserker a fair bit to make up for the fact he's not really suited to long range combat

Which is something I think I need to use more with my soldier to boost his rating, but my uber fast shotgun and stupidly powerful assault rifle cut down most enemies currently in a matter of a second or two. The berserker is a very interesting character, in that you play him a bit different to the other three; getting stuck in with the rage is half the fun, especially punching high level skags up the arse as they try to run away hah hah. The battle against Sledge was easier than I was expecting in co-op with him, I launched rockets and my brother broke out the stupidly powerful SMG he has and it was all over in about 20 seconds!

Though co-op has been harder in general than single player. Yes, we get better weapons in general but the enemy are stupidly accurate from long distance at times and the skags go crazy at times. Cue berserker rage (see above)...!

Oh, I also have the viral achievement on the 360 if anyone might want to get that one...

I'm level 40-odd in my second playthrough now. I'm still killing most things with an Orange quality pistol I found on playthrough one. In fact it's so crazily good I'm wondering if its bugged. It has infinite ammo, never requires reloading and spews high-damage acid shells at a stupendous rate, but none of this is mentioned on its stats panel apart from an unusually high burst fire ability and the acid elemental tag.

I'm loving playthrough two- More enemies, more cash more prizes!

My internet is being fucked about with by the idiots at BT at the moment, otherwise Id be up for some Co-Op. I have to tread their usual maze of contradiction, procrastination and denial before anything gets fixed properly
