    I definitely played more SP, but I still spent a considerable amount of time on MP.

    Problem with MP is so many people are using hacked items.

    A rocket launcher that shoots 30 rounds in 6 seconds....
    A sniper rifle with 1200x3 damage, 12.5 fire rate...
    A smg that shoots rockets....
    etc....

    Before I got the game I actually assumed that if you played on-line you'd have your character stored on a server provided by Gearbox.

    Holy shit that's awesome.

    I've only been able to play SP since I moved, but I'm level 50 and about 60% of the way through my second playthrough. I replaced all my playthrough-1 weapons and mods in the first 20 minutes of Fyrestone, but since then I've only found a few weapons worth switching to. Has anyone made it to the end of their second playthrough in co-op? Do the weapons and enemies scale up to a suitably insane degree, or is it too easy?

    I am still playing the game. Got my Siren up to lvl 50 and I want to level up at least one more char. My first playthrough was entirely in co-op, the second mostly solo. Co-op is way more fun.

    When I read this, I looked at your avatar and thought it was a man looking down at his hairless chin.

    That's a blessing, I have to shave every four days to avoid looking like a f*cking bum.

    My hair(both head and facial) grows faster than Santa's "happy parts" when a young girl sits in his lap.

    I shave once a week now, but only cause the stubble makes my neck itch.

    I would never shave, but then I'd only get people constantly bitching about me looking like a hobo!

    I just love how as soon as I try loading my save after installing the DLC it it freezes while loading. I even uninstalled the DLC and tried loading my save. Still freezes. This is just lovely.

    Edit: Installed to hd and it loads fine now. Holy shit the intro is funny.

    Just finished the game. The ending was pretty much the same as in Batman: AA, for the whole game you're like "YAY YAY YAY", then you hit the end and you go: :frown:

    Dlc was sweet. I liked the ending.

    Show Spoiler
    Bakurei was right, it definitely reminds me of B:AA's ending. Fighting Zombie Doctor Ned in the giant pool of blood also reminds me of inside the giant worm in Gears of War 2.

    Just noticed one anoying bug. My MG has 144 ammo per clip, if I press back and go to the info screen and then back the ammo count will drop to 127, and if I enter and exit a vehicle it goes down to 80.

    Yeah, that is one of the bugs that has been posted. Something to do with the skills you have not transferring to/from vehicles and menus.

    I've been rolling the Sniper Class and I'm around level 26. My only complaints about this so far are pretty standard. Connecting to people is pretty ridiculously horseshit for a game that's multiplayer based, and in single player some of the boss fights are just ridiculous.

    As I said in this thread, Gameranger does not work with the x64 version of Windows XP.

    Is there actually anyway to see that the game you're joining is going to be good for you? Many times the lobby has said that there are 3 slots open and the host is lvl 1, then when I join the game theres like two guys there who are 47-50. I'm starting a new game with brick, so if anyone wants to join me add Nahkasorsa on xbox live.

    For anyone thinking about buying the DLC, the opening cinematic alone is worth the 800 points. Haven't finished it yet, but so far it's been a blast.

    That's weird, it works with the x64 version of Win7. I'd have thought it would work with XP also!? D:

    64bit XP doesn't have much support compared to 64 Vista or 7.

    I'll Mickey Mouse your OS.

    Getting criticals for face-stabbing is perhaps one of the most satisfying things ever.

    So I just bought this on black friday for 20 bucks. Is it any fun just playing singleplayer? I can't see myself playing coop with it.

    It's great fun on singleplayer but even greater fun in co-op.

    I'm enjoying the single-player, but I think it would be fantastic on coop if you were playing with friends and had voice chat going.

    I had some interest in the game when I played it for the first time. After that it just seemed to stuck on the same gear and failed to give any new experiences. I haven't played it a lot and a I haven't tried the multiplayer yet. I hope it raises my interest again because I mostly liked the whole picture of the game.
