Borderlands, "Bigger, and badder"

Karz Master Alpha Junkers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Storytellers + IP Posts: 2,375 Joined: Nov 13, 2006 Wow this game is a blast to play. It's basically Diablo meets Mad Max meets Doom. It plays like a very solid first person shooter, esp since it's loads of fun just shooting stuff, and the idea of getting phatter lewt never gets old. Unlike Diablo, this one has more varied weapons, so you (or at least I) never tire of looking to see what's the next awesome gun I get. You guys should check it out. Of course, the game has a whole host of other problems, including the retarded vehicular combat/driving segments, and lots of being forced to run around, but otherwise, the shooting is just great and really loads of fun. I've heard it's even better online when you play with friends. ......................... vet wv zom Posted Feb 9, 2010, 11:40 am

*Wolfsbane* Arbiters Darkwind Guru Badlands Truckstop Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 2,038 Joined: Oct 9, 2009 It was OK, but I was really disappointed with the amount of variation in the weapons.  It felt like they could have done a lot more there, but basically there are four elements, burst fire, shotgun style multiple bullets, and that's it.  Where's my heat seeking rocket minigun, or a shotgun that fires motion-triggered proximity mines? I may go back for a second playthrough one day, though (the difficulty level on the second run is insane). ......................... vet wv marshal pvp2 cont Posted Feb 9, 2010, 12:16 pm

Yeah it's nothing very special, but it's a solid first person shooter with some RPG elements, and that settles it for me. It's just plenty of fun especially in the late game where enemies comes in hordes and are difficult to kill, especially the Lances units. I agree that it's too bad there aren't more weapon variations. Still, finding a Unique (orange colored) weapon is always welcome. I just looted a nice sniper that burst fires 5 times in a row, and contains a nice magazine of 20 bullets, so it basically deals death from afar. I also found a sexy rocket launcher that burst fires thrice and shoots electro-rockets - great for taking down the Archmage Guardians towards the end of the game. ......................... vet wv zom Posted Feb 9, 2010, 1:58 pm

Serephe Collision Force Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 3,496 Joined: Dec 9, 2007 I had a machine gun with over 200 rounds in each clip with a ridiculous firerate, but it chewed through ammo like crazy. Was pretty fun to use, though I found myself wishing I'd chosen to play the sniper instead simply because he didn't need to buy ammo as often. ......................... vet wv paintladder ww0,3,0 Posted Feb 9, 2010, 2:01 pm

Still, rocketlaunchershotgun! in what way is it a shotgun if it fires rockets? Surely the definition of a shotgun is a gun that fires shot. A gun thet fires rockets is a rocket launcher (although possibly a shotgun shaped rocket launcher) ......................... vet wv zom pvp4 cont community deathrceL1 marshal pvp3 pvp2 Posted Feb 9, 2010, 2:09 pm

Was pretty fun to use, though I found myself wishing I'd chosen to play the sniper instead simply because he didn't need to buy ammo as often. If you play with someone who is a Soldier, he can use the Support Gunner class mod which basically recharges your ammo over time. I am using Support Gunner because I rampage through ammo like there's no tomorrow, and the recharge rate of ammo is pretty fast too. I can get like 1.5 combat rifle rounds per second, so I practically never have to buy ammo unless I'm about to fight a boss and am too impatient to wait for ammo to restock. The Support Gunner can allow the rest of his team mates to recharge ammo too. In fact all my weapons chew through ammo like there's no tomorrow. Without the Support Gunner mod, my sniper would eat up all the ammo in my backpack in less than a minute due to its burst fire. My combat rifle is weaker than the sniper, but because it has such a sick firing rate, it practically looses a magazine of 110 bullets in less than 30 seconds, which means my entire backpack of 900+ combat rifle rounds would be used up very quickly if fighting a boss. That's why the Support Gunner mod is so awesome. Keeps me going against the insane hordes of enemies, especially now that I'm on Playthrough 2 ......................... vet wv zom Posted Feb 9, 2010, 2:52 pm

Yeah I remember an interview saying that the permutations are really surprising, as in it's even possible to get a sniper revolver that shoots grenades or something. And I saw nothing of that sort, ever - the rocket shotgun is the closest I got to it. ......................... vet wv zom Posted Feb 9, 2010, 2:53 pm

*Wolfsbane* Arbiters Darkwind Guru Badlands Truckstop Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 2,038 Joined: Oct 9, 2009 Maybe I should respec and get some support gunner - personally I went straight for metal storm. Level 8 metal storm plus an SMG can do insane damage, but the ammo doesn't last long. ......................... vet wv marshal pvp2 cont Posted Feb 9, 2010, 3:03 pm

FireFly Anarcho-Pumpkin Privateers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 5,468 Joined: Mar 3, 2008 My favorite weapon was an SMG, I was playing as a siren to... Boosted fire rate Boosted many things when getting kills... The weapon iself had a 100ish clip, .4 second reload speed, and an insane fire rate, also double shots and corrosive 4... did I forget it had pretty good damage? Anyway, 100 bullets in 3 seconds... reload in under a half, keep shooting... I think that weapon was broken.... ......................... vet wv zom gateautumn deathrceL1 elmsautumn pvp1 pvp2 sssc raceL1 e2g combatL1 santa1 pvp3 gwextrav ww circuit32,18,0 Posted Feb 9, 2010, 4:06 pm Last edited Feb 9, 2010, 4:07 pm by FireFly

*Urban Decay* Old School Perverts Darkwind Guru Civs Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 1,023 Joined: Nov 8, 2007 I used the sniper at first, didn't like him at all. Then I switched to that chick that could phase in and out of visibility and run super fast while doing it. She is fun as hell to play as. Was playing it on 360 when my friend rented it hehe. ......................... vet wv marshal raceL1 deathrceL10,4,0 Posted Feb 9, 2010, 6:16 pm

With metal storm, your ammo runs out VERY fast, trust me on that. You don't actually need level 8 metal storm, since level 5 is enough to whoop ass when you have a gun that fires at fire rate greater than 10. And soldiers shouldn't be concentrating SMGs, though they're nice backup weapons to have. They have no skills that boost SMG skills. Instead, stick with the shotgun-combat rifle combo. A fast firing sniper is also nice to have. ......................... vet wv zom Posted Feb 10, 2010, 1:48 am

*Wolfsbane* Arbiters Darkwind Guru Badlands Truckstop Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 2,038 Joined: Oct 9, 2009 I never found the shotguns worth using - range sucks, clips are tiny, and they just don't deal out damage as fast as assault rifles. I mainly used a revolver, an SMG, and one of each type of combat rifle (burst and auto). I suppose I might have used one for the hordes of birds and bugs, but I had a x4 SMG that did the job better. ......................... vet wv marshal pvp2 cont Posted Feb 10, 2010, 8:16 am

*Lugal* Luna Sea Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 2,246 Joined: Jan 27, 2008 I've been looking at this game for awhile, and plan on picking it up if I ever go buy a 360. I play with a couple other guys, and in any game that has different class/role/spec options, I'm the healer. So my question is how is the medic focus for the soldier class? ......................... vet marshal wv Posted Feb 10, 2010, 4:18 pm
