Re: Borderlands

BTW, I am a level 40 Hunter and once you get the bloodwing maxed out and it's cool down period to just 13 seconds, holy crap, look out!

I prefer maxed Carrion Call with a +4 class mod. Get my bloodwing back in 3 shots from a sniper, which takes like 1-2 seconds with a 2.7-3.4 fire rate sniper..

Re: Borderlands

I do. I'll add you on PS3 tonight.

Yankee, I think I'm gonna go get this tomorrow, so if you and Chef (and anyone else) want another noob to play with, feel free to add me too

I won't be getting MW2 or ACII until my bday (nov 30) or possibly Christmas, and I have some trade in at Gamestop, so I want to get something to hold me over for a while.

All the positive impressions in here say this may be the game I should get.

Re: Borderlands

Ok, I found 2 snipers:

One is 250x6 and it shoots 6 bullets in one shot, Nice grouping also, The other is a Rifle that shoots regular unzoomed but when its zoomed it shoots fully automatic, Lmao!

Also for others that want to know more about the classes here you go:

Hunter
Perks: Sniper and Pistol go up fastest efficency. Bloodwing. Not to sure what health is but its arround adverage.
PvP-Rapes PvP, Him being able to max his Bloodwing and making it stun 100% of the time and getting tresspass to bypass all shield makes him the cheapest of all the 4. Not to mention the Bloodwing never misses. With the maxed out Bloodwing comes super fast recharge times and health regen, chances are he will have it out 98% of the time.
PvM-Is really good at it, mainly when getting the bloodwing attacks more then one enemy at a time spec. Mainly a great Boss Killer.

Berserker
Perks: His fists and Rocket Launchers faster efficency. Has most health and deals out most damage with special ability. Can enter Berserk Mode.(Aka ****** Mode)
PvP-Can get pretty good. His attack get really powerful, he has Perks where he can lunge at people then just keep spamming attacks. Along with his stunning Perk also, and health regen in Berserk Mode he becomes a factor. Only problem is you see him coming and he is a big target, he has to be close to be deadly.
PvM-Is awsome, literally becomes indestructable in Berserk mode in later lvls. Some enemies that you cant reach become a problem but other then that pure ownage.

Soldier
Perks: Shotgun and Assault Rifle efficency go up faster. Can deploy Scorpio Turret. Has above adverage health.
PvP-Probably the worst character for this mode. His turret can easily be dodged and whats worst is it cant shoot behind it. He does have Grit and other perks to help him but compared to the rest of the characters he is nothing special.
PvM-Great Support Character, with his medic skill tree and ammo regeneration Mods he can really help the team. His Scorpio Turret is best for Crowd Control or when you are getting overwelmed. Scorpio Turret doesnt really do much in later lvls but is the best balanced char and lures other enemies to it.

Siren
Perks: SMG and Pistols efficency go up faster. Can Phasewalk. Has the least health of all 4 charcters.
PvP-Probably the second best for PvP. Get her a good SMG with her dazing ability and she becomes awsome. Throw in Phasewalk to get away from situations and she becomes deadly.
PvM-Probably the worse one for this type of situations by herself. With others she can become beter. If you do this mode try not to max your Phasewalk to much, its mainly used for getting out a a sticky situation or getting somewhere fast than being used as a offense of power. Can get good with Pheonix and other skill. Best at later lvls.

Best PvP goes as:
1.Hunter (Bloodwing and Tresspass Spec)
2.Siren (Daze Spec)
3.Berserker (Tank/Offense Spec)
4.Soldier (Anything but Turret Spec)

Best PvM goes as: (Hunter and Berserker Tie)
1.Soldier (Turret/Offense Spec)
2.Berserker
2.Hunter
3.Siren

Best Boss Killer:
1.Hunter (Bloodwing Spec)
2.Berserker (Offense/Tank Spec)
3.Soldier
4.Siren

Best Crowd Controler:
1.Soldier (Turret Spec)
2.Hunter (Bloodwing hits multiple enemies Spec)
3.Berserker
4.Siren

Ok guys, thats my write up on the borderlands characters. Hope you guys like it.

Re: Borderlands

Nice man, appreciate it. I was looking for a detailed summary of each character to decide who I would use after my soldier playthrough. Think i'll go with either the Hunter or Siren. I wanted to do Siren, but I thought that her Phasewalk ability would be a more effective offensive weapon than it seems to be. The Hunter's ability to ignore shields would be a huge plus.

Anyways, played online last night for the first time, and while it was fun, I was experiencing some slight lag in both games I hopped into. Anyone else having this problem? Maybe it was just bad luck, as I haven't read many bad things about the online aspect. If anyone wants to play some online for PS3, my tag is Kearnzo. I'm at level 27 right now, and usually on in the late evening-early night (7-10ish).

I'm in the same boat, because of the BB B2G1F I bought two games SWTFU, and Borderlands (also lego batman for my son) last weekend that I want to play before I even think about MW2 cause I know as soon as I plop in MW2 that I'd have wasted my money on the other two games! LOL

I'll add you later tonight.

Re: Borderlands

I picked the soldier class, knowing full well that when I beat the game, I am going to berserker.

Re: Borderlands

Went ahead and sent this back to Gamefly. Too many more games coming out the next few weeks. I did have a lot of fun but just wasn't compelled to keep going. I ended up LVL 22 soldier.

I will say I got the same feeling from this game that I did Crackdown. They are obviously much different, but I loved Crackdown when it came out. I played the crap out of it for 2 weeks. Then it just seemed like I was doing the same thing over and over again and the fire fizzled quickly.

Solid shooter though for sure.

Re: Borderlands

Since I'm a nice guy, I'm going to share with you guys my new favorite farming spot, as well as my path I take to nab all the treasure chests. Made this video just for you guys.

thank for this, I have found so many new weapons and better armor from these spots and now feel fully prepared to start slaying bitches in the rust commons.

One rocket launcher I found fires 3 shots, has amazing accuracy, damage of 489 and a 4x shock multiplier.

Re: Borderlands

I just got a sniper rifle that says in red writing "I think I'm gonna break this thing!"

All I can say is...WTF?!

That slows down your movement speed. Here's a mostly complete list of the red text on guns.

i hate rocket launchers. my favorite weapon right now is this machine gun i have that, with my class mods, holds about 130 bullets in a clip, and shoots nearly the same speed as an SMG. It's especially great in co-op since I have a class mod that gives the whole team regenerating ammo and it still ups my clip size 30%.

Re: Borderlands

But the gun also used rechargeable ammo and shot some...well, lets just say weird bullets.

I think I just found the same gun. An Eridian sniper rifle with the text "I think I'm going to break this thing" in red. Infinite ammo though it needs to recharge after 6-7 shots, and it fires a blue bullet, kind of like a plasma rifle in other shooters. I typically don't use snipers but this one is so effective it's going to be in my stable for a little bit.

I'll try to remember to add you as soon as I can. I'm playing Batman first and then jumping to this. Probably won't beat Batman for a month with all the work traveling I'm gonna be doing.
