    at some point you have to ask... what's the point. Why have 600,000 weapons in the game. I can name about 10 real and a handful of made up weapons. If I'm presented with 20 weapons, I may get used to them. If I've got 600,000 I'm never going to understand truly the nature of the weapon other than it is ever so slightly better than the last one. Colour coding them is not going to help.

    Making every single grunt in the game unique would be a far better feature.

    Well the reason there is so many weapons in the game is because they are making them are personalized as to whom is carrying them. I think it is a great idea as every weapon will be slightly different. You don't go to a gun range with your rifle and have it shoot like everyone elses' rifle. They are all tuned and tweaked differently for it's owners unique shooting style.


    But yeah, unique grunts would be awesome as well. I think this is a really good first step towards that :p

    Off topic, but....A game preview without pictures? I easily get bored with previews with no pictures. Sounds alright, but then I only made it into the Enter You subtopic.

    Gameinformer ran a cover story about it. Hit up their website for a look at it. Some of the pictures look amazing :D

    Well it's here and I have to say it's one of the best games I have played in a very long time, apart from a few config annoyances (no vsync option and no DX10 mode so no FSAA in the unreal engine) but they are the standard stuff for games built on the terrible unreal engine 3 and in no way the fault of this game.

    You can enable vsync by forcing it through CCC/Nvidia Control Panel and AA can be turned on the same way (through the drivers) and renaming borderlands.exe to UT3.exe :)

    I've had this on the Xbox 360 since Friday and love it. It's a more FPS focussed (and better controlling) cartoony looking co-op like Fallout 3!

    If you mean LAN then yes.

    As far as thing like FOV and that go they are the usual enemies of gaming produced by UE3 and can be recified in the usual ways.

    The config files are in <install location>/Borderlands/Engine/Config and <install location>/Borderlands/Willow Game/Config

    Some people also recommend changing the name of the Borderlands .exe to UT3.exe but I think that might cause more issues than it solves.

    Anyway, more importantly, is the game any good on PC? I'm not 100% sure what it's about yet :eek:

    As a single player game it can be boring but the co-op is superb and the nature of the drop-in drop out mutliplayer means the only time you should be doing any missions on your own is when you have no net access r if you are trying to catch up to someone's level so you can play together (an issue that will soon go away when everyone is on playthrough 2).
