A stupid question: is it also a single player campaign? Or only online? (if single player: how long does it take to beat the game?)
Singleplayer with a big emphasis on coop. Coop online is drop in/drop out style so you and anybody else can easily join someone on a mission or some random (or friend) can join your mission
I heard it's around 30 hours to beat everything? Not sure but most people play through it more then once with different characters.
A good portion of the game relies on Coop.

Just dinged 30 and this has still been the best all around gun I've been using since
Getting easier for me as I level the phaselock life orb skill. Phaselock also just instantly zaps a third of the life of buzzards, feels so good force crushing them out of the sky like nothing.

Just beat the game, solo. Level 34 Siren. Took me just under 43 hours to complete. Refused to go for the story missions until I beat every side mission (but I did skip 2 slaughter dome's which I will leave till I'm 50). And of course, I have the secret boss to do..so 3 side missions left to do (as far as I know).
Love the way this one looks (will probably give this to my Zer0 if I don't find anything better):
Found this pistol towards the end of the game during a mission..love it.:
Not sure what to do now, lol. Either start a new character or start playthrough 2. The fun has only begun!

Damn, this game sucks away time like nothing. Just played for 8 hours straight. Bedtime. Tomorrow is Sunday, going to play all day. Yay.
Man, the Moxxi's slot machines... Gambling disguised as... gambling! IDK if there's anything else to do with your money except for buying ammo/health/vendor eq? But regardless, I think the only thing that's ever gonna change about my gambling @ Moxxi's is the amount of cash I'm gonna hoard between the trips. This thing is absolutely brilliant.

Between BL2 and TL2, it's hard out there for a playa @_@
Lowkey, those slots are so addicting. Got a bud of mine addicted to it last night hahaha every time we go to sanctuary he has to play it
Amen, only thing I use money for besides gambling is ammo now and then.

This thing knocks down Buzzards with 3 bursts.
Is a good go-to when I need to shoot NOW instead of reloading my sniper/shottie/launcher.
OMG, my Siren needs that...

I tried to activate my season pass but steam says I need Borderlands 2 RU for it.
I bought the season pass (for cheaper on steam) on my french account and my game is from GMG.
WTF ?

Technically, you are always "hosting" a game. As soon as you enter the gameworld, the game flags you as a potential host for your friends. If they have you within their Steam friends list, you appear right in the main menu on the left end of the screen. They just have to click your name and it's going to load them straight into your game! I think it's possible to flag yourself "offline" to prevent anyone from joining.
Easy peasy.

How do I open a game up so it appears in the game matching service?

Do I need to pick Open Network under the network settings?

I got this game on X360 on Thursday and am now a Level 12 Commando.
While i can see the game looks better and everything is a bit sharper, i still feel some of the negative points which plagued the first game are still there
1) Lots of backtracking when it's time to "turn in" - in many stages a fast travel unit just isnt close enough - lots of running to be done
2) Level Design - i really think there are some levels which are just badly designed, like fall off a short rise and you have to go the LONG way around to get back there. Theres one in particular where there is a jumpover and a ravine below it...i spent ages there because i had to circle around a lot
3) The damn Map. It's exactly the same as the first game. It gets you to the general location but sometimes it doesnt take into account elevation. Also, there was one time i was doing the siren missions and i had to find some echos. Echo 1 was attached to something very high above me and i had to shoot it down to get it. I only found it because i use a youtube vid. Same as the "Start the Enkindling" mission. I walked around for ages until i gave up and youtubed it.
While the game is certainly better than the first, i think the level design and map design really could have been slightly better.

the local save is always the current one right? both my cloud and local says last modified. which do i choose? lol.
How far into the game is the mission to get it?
Sick! That's better than all my guns combined.

God's had his chance.
LOL ... wow.Never ever would have thought to prime the hold down fire button=mad crazy fire rate skill like that. Until i played insane hours with gunzerker i suppose.
Makes me sad theres now way i'll ever get zero up enough to do something like this with my sword. Fuckin nutz.
Seriously, I played all day without realizing it, and I was supposed to be doing readings. Jesus christ I didn't expect myself to be this addicted D:
That gun is insane, gawdamn.This thing knocks down Buzzards with 3 bursts.

That's what I figured. I guess nobody has wanted to join my game so far.

I found my best one at lvl 27 today in a dumpster in lynchwood lol. It's a purple rarity and a Vladof. Great stuff, of course I was running the extra 5% chance of getting rare weapons.

Just watched this.
Not sure if I should be discouraged at the fact that the hardest mega boss died in 7 seconds or impressed at the video.
Or...both?
No you were right with the first part.
Technically, the quest level is 24, but you've got to fight through a bunch of 26-27 enemies to complete the quest, so high 20's is probably more realistic.

This is a pain and fast travel isn't well implemented in this game, I shouldn't have to quit and reload my save to have to avoid wasting my time backtracking, especially when enemies respawn.

Are there any weapons in this game which have 100% elemental chance like the Defiler from borderlands 1?
Yep each time a new person jumps in it gets more rough.

So I finished all the "Explore <X>" achievements, but I'm still missing World Traveler.
That means that I failed to walk past some camp somewhere in some zone...
I'm in the process of hitting all of them, but for sanity's sake...are there any specific NAMED placed anyone can think of that aren't attached to discovering a segment of a map?
Out of way places that one wouldn't go to obviously. I can't believe I haven't gotten it yet since I've been ridiculousy meticulous in my travels.

So, my first legendary was this grenade that bounces around and drops other grenades all over the place every time it bounces. It's OP as hell. It's amazing. I got it for beating Wilhelm.
awesome, was worried that it might be really difficult with just 2 players.
hopefully the loots are still phat
