Borderlands is an upcoming sci-fi RPS game with 4-player co-op. Borderlands boasts millions of guns. Players can choose from four character classes that grow throughout the game, each with their own skill trees. There is vehicle combat as well. What classes can I choose from? Siren (Lilith) - can phase walk Hunter (Mordecai) - uses a bloodwing pet for his active skill Berserker (Brick) - goes into a rage and punches things Soldier (Roland) - deploys a turret Is there a level cap? Yes, the level cap is 50. What about replayability? Borderlands has a new game+ feature, where you can start fresh with tougher enemies and better loot! What's a "badass?" WoW has elites, Borderlands has badasses. These enemies will be tougher and will drop better loot than regular old enemies do. What happens when I die? When you die, you enter "Fight for your life!" You drop down and are unable to move, but are still able to fire shots for a time while your screen dims. If you deal a killing blow to an enemy in this state, you are returned to life with some of your shield and health restored. If you don't, you are returned to the last New-U station for a fee. Can I trade guns/equipment? Currently, trading works by tossing the desired items out onto the ground for the other person.

I am seriously tempted by it, but would need some other people with it for the co op tbh The weapons system sound intriguing
I couldn't find info on it the other day. But as far as I'm aware it's a hybrid of FPS and RPG? I may have to buy it.
The pcgamer review also stated they saw hundred sof types of weapons all different and nodded in different ways. iirc the designers estimate there are over half a million different weapons in the game some of the weapons http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/borderlands-weapons/301715 the revolver sniper rifle looked sweet (even the dev hadn't seen that before)
the being able to drop into another persons single player for co op then leave and keep all, the stuff you gain there sounds cool maybe there'll be a proper way of trading gear (or just dropping it and letting them pick it up)
plus how can you not like a game that has this badass ****er in it http://www.docgamer.com/images/borderlands.jpg No hotlinking of images please. - Thundycat Maybe if a few of us on ocuk get it we could co op at times
I'm very intrerested in this, the graphics style looks interesting and the game intself rather fun. Once it's out and if it turns out OK, I'll be up for some co-op shenanigans.
I want that revolver sniper rifle but wihth some kind of incendery effetct rather than electric. If the game seems good and i buy it I VOW TO GET THAT WEAPON! Even if it only does 5hp of damage
Oh bad news guys the 500,000 weapons was only in the alpha It's now just a mere 16 million variations http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Weapons I quite like the idea of this different manufacturer different styles type thing.
hmm I'm liking the Idea of a 4 sniper team, big game hunt http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/04/borderlands_new.jpg No hotlinking of images please. - Thundycat Game's come a long way from when i first read about it around the alpha stage.
Looks like it could be very, very good indeed. Cross between Diablo, Hellgate, and Fallout? Yes please!
