A VPN will work. I think most people use tunnel bear.

Why are there different release dates for he Steam version? There's no good reason. I hate that I have to wait until Friday.
It'll be on the US store
Once you unlock it can you go back to your normal connection and continue playing or will it get locked?
It will. Most big games seem to do that now on Steam.

I have no idea it might be best to try the steam thread and ask in there.

Should be fine, just unlock it, then put steam into offline mode, then disable the vpn.

It's strange, but from all the improvements in this game I think one of my favourites is the increased diversity between the different gun companies. I mean, the companies in BL were a fun novelty, but I never remembered what they were good at. But now I will probably never forget that Tediore are the gun grenade company. Although I think given the choice I will likely lean towards the Bandit guns, rarely reloading sounds very appealing.

So it will come out at 9pm Monday in the West Coast without VPN?
The timer on steam has it unlocking at that time for me. I hope it's true.
Every manufacturer makes every gun type. Those articles are poorly written and only showing highlights. I'm assuming they just working with assets gearbox gave them. Not a true exclusive rundown of weapons. Plus guns can combine manufactures so even more types.

Wish there was a screenshot option for 360 version.
Or S&S Munitions, though it seems like their trademark boosted magazine size has been taken over by Bandit. I'll still miss my bright yellow guns.

I don't think S&S is in the game anymore, which makes me sad since they and Atlas made my favorite snipers.
Edit: beaten
It's weird to read you guys.... I've played through the first one multiple times on both PC and 360 and yet I never noticed the different manufacturer... I mean, I knew there was multiple companies but I learned about the specific characteristics for each companies with the PR for the second game.
Dude check out this level 1 gun I got!
Sell it on ebay, make a profit, buy the 360 and the PC version.
You only get the free class/bonus items if you preorder a physical copy from Gamestop, Amazon or Best Buy. I have a preorder in at the MS store and it wouldn't be eligible for the "Premiere Club."
i feel ya. i just new all whites were Atlas and yellow were S&S. Other than that didnt care at all.
BL2 they've made it easy to tell who is who and its great. Cant wait.
Yes, at a New U station.

This guy knows what's up.
I got into a car accident last week. Needed some deductible money. Put my Ultimate Loot Chest on Ebay and someone paid $350 for it. It paid for my car repairs. Haha.

I don't know about anybody else, but they way I learned different manufacturers had different stat allocations was by the stuff the vending machines said and it just kind of stuck. The guns also had lots of prefixes that meant stuff like Masher on revolvers indicated it fired a shot gun style spread of seven pellets or for shot guns anything that said hunter on it meant it was a high accuracy shotgun with little to no spread.

I've been playing the game for a few hours now; I'm at level 9. One huge technical problem I haven't heard mentioned is the limited FOV (if I'm using the term correctly). Basically the view is so 'zoomed in' that you have to constantly move your vision, so much so it made me sick. I tested the old borderlands and it was not as zoomed in, it's like it's claustrophobic.
I assume with the updated visuals they had to limit how much was on screen. It's not a problem in wide open areas but certainly is for me in anything else. I loved borderlands 1 and 2 so far is amazing. They actually added a good story and the events feel more scripted and you feel like you are actually apart of a world instead of a generic landscape.
I checked my xbox resolution and also display options but there was no option to zoom out, so to speak.
The FOV is a big problem for me, like I said it was making me sick. I don't normally play pc games but I'm going to buy on a pc. I assume my pc will be able to 'zoom out' and draw more on the screen.

I would also like to add that I have been playing on the xbox 360 version.
