On the topic of rocket launchers, I've yet to find a real good one BUT the one I have at the moment has its uses with its shock attribute. Dealing 320 Splash dmg with shock means that it eats through shields.
It's great for taking out shields quickly and then finnish off with another gun.
Think it's part of the game since Lilith even has a talent that increases bullet velocity.

they work like real guns they also all have a specific lean to them that you can figure out. so say you want to pick a guy off with you pistol well you can figure that at a certain distance the pistol goes off target by 2 barrels ( Iused barrels width to figure this out.)FinKL said:
On an off note, the theme song for this game is absolutely perfect for the style. (Cage the Elephant- Ain't No Rest For the Wicked)
That opening segment was pretty cool.

Ive heard that class mods can push skill points beyond the max, but when I equip one, it doesn't do anything, or at least it doesnt reflect in the skill screen. Is it supposed to actually show 7/5?

No, they don't show up on th skill screen.
turret skills, health regen, magazine capacity, bullet damage. Later on you'll get class mods that restore your ammo so don't worry too much about ammo regen.

Lilith as best sniper confirmed! At least that's who I picked to main
Seriously though, it's like I have to lead with a shotgun from a range. Not sure if it's because the earlier guns have crappy accuracy, or just the slower bullet velocity or combination of both. I can see why some snipers got upset earlier lol
Also, is there a way to toggle crouch and zoom? Kb/mouse combo i hate the toggles, unless i'm playing with my 360 controller, then it's fine.

The No Heaven song is also really good from the Comic-Con Trailer.
They had good taste when choosing music.

Why Gamespy? Why?

You can configure.... any key you want..?
Crouch is a toggle, but zoom is a hold-downmabob.

Its funny how all the gun collecting quests have been pretty much this.. Everyone just screaming for help then 3 mins later an edit saying "NM LOLZ" hahaDead said:

I'm gonna try Vista tonight...Seems they either disabled the editor or not all the files are there despite lots of resources included. Did Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway have a working editor? (something like "biahh editor" or "biahh willoweditor"?)
At any rate, if I don't end up playing the game at all, the one good thing I got out of it is AIN'T NO REST FOR THE WICKED

I read on the official forums that someone solved their issue with timeouts. Windows firewall was blocking it causing the timeout even though he disabled it. Add borderlands to the approved list for windows firewall and try again.
Here's his thread

Hawkian said:
Right, but I want a "push down" to crouch and a "Press Right Click to zoom" to enter zoom not hold down to zoom.
Also, has Gearbox mentioned anything concerned bootleg copies? Their choice of using Gamespy was poor, because Gamespy doesn't have an account verification so anyone with the game (legal or not) can create an account.
I suspected that! Windows firewall is a sneaky motherfucker. I have to add the ports I forwarded and try everything again, even though I did have fewer and fewer problems as the day went on I still couldn't host games (not the first game I've had trouble with, though).
Played up to level 11 as Mordecai with a few friends, and holy shit, those Badass Skags are going to give me nightmares. We ran into 2 of them at once when we were all level 8 and we were all constantly running for lives.
Pretty fun game so far. Sniping is a bit difficult but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. I maxed out the skill that reduces sniper sway and am currently leveling the bloodwing looting skill. I've only died once so far, and that was when my buddy drove the jeep I was in off a cliff where we were annihilated by the out-of-bounds lasers. :lol

I forwarded ports and disabled firewall and now can host at will. Sucks because my internet blows.
My friend, on the other hand, has God's internet connection or something but is to computer ignorant to fix his mic problems, let alone try to do troubleshoot router issues.

To make zoom a toggle (courtesy of Miker):
--------------------------------------------------
Within WillowInput.ini:
Add the text below under [WillowGame.WillowPlayerInput]
Bindings=(Name="ZoomIn",Command="StartAltFire | setbind RightMouseButton ZoomOut",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,LeftT rigger=False,RightTrigger=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False, bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)
Bindings=(Name="ZoomOut",Command="StopAltFire | setbind RightMouseButton ZoomIn",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,LeftTr igger=False,RightTrigger=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,b IgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)
Then, edit the preexisting RightMouseButton binding to reflect the change:
Bindings=(Name="RightMouseButton",Command="advance dbutton bAdvancedButtonAux5",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt =False,LeftTrigger= False,RightTrigger=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnore Shift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)
to
Bindings=(Name="RightMouseButton",Command="ZoomIn" ,Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,Left
--
I think I like it the way it is though. This'd be like Crysis, but other games I've played since use the hold-to-zoom.
Another good one:
To enable scroll wheel in text boxes:
-----------------------------------
Within WillowInput.ini
Search for all instances of the following (there should only be two instances):
InputKeyName="MouseScrollUp",ModifierKeyFlags=42
InputKeyName="MouseScrollDown",ModifierKeyFlags=42
remove the ",ModifierKeyFlags=42" so they look like:
InputKeyName="MouseScrollUp"
InputKeyName="MouseScrollDown"
--
I actually haven't had any problems using my scroll, which is strange. But I'll enable this just in case there are any places I might run into it.
@Eznark, that happened the first time to me too, never happened again.

I don't know if you attempted this already or not but my friends and I were having no luck with multiplayer (connection time out) even with the suggested ports open... then we switched to a public game and viola, connects just fine.
Not sure what the deal is but it seems private games don't work...?

anybody wanna play? I feel like procrastinating.
You think so? games like this where you're playing with the same group for hours really benefit from constant communication.

Don't know if this will help anyone but here's a full list of ports Gamespy uses and some common workarounds for errors with firewalls.

Another great one:
"Irritated by the toggle crouch? Add a momentary, like-any-other-FPS style crouch key with the two lines below, added to the bottom of the [WillowGame.WillowPlayerInput] section of WillowInput.ini:
Code:
Bindings=(Name="Duck",Command="Button bDuck | Axis aUp Speed=-1.0 AbsoluteAxis=100")
Bindings=(Name="LeftControl",Command="Duck",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,LeftTrigger=False,RightTrigger=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False"
This one I WILL be using. This way, LCTRL will be momentary crouch and c will still toggle crouch.

I have a level 32 Siren and I'm still using my level 16 Mercenary mod. Its just too awesome.
+40% SMG damage
+3 Quicksilver
+2 High Velocity
+24% Elemental effect chance
That +24% Elemental bonus is like having 6 more points in Spark. Looking at all the fire damage fly off Bruisers when I'm using my fire SMG is amazing.
Oh yeah, does Phoenix affect the fire damage inflicted by bullets or does it only affect the fire damage when an enemy catches fire by touching you?

They dont benefit from peoples cack mics spewing out static for hours on end.
I hate talk always being on.God's Beard said:
I don't need the whole world to know when my wife comes in and asks what I want to have for dinner or talks about something going on at work.
What hand should I use for that? I don't want to have to reach over to my headset to turn it on or off. In TF2, I have the mic set to a thumb button on my mouse, I don't skip a beat turning that on or off on the fly.Philthy said:

so mute your own mic. Push to talk would be so friggin annoying in this game.
Nice. Definitely want to use this one.Hawkian said:
Am I the only person that uses the F key for crouch? C or LCTRL just feels awkward to me though those are usually the defaults. A little weird to reach for plus you likely have to take a finger off of wasd when you do it. I much prefer using my free index finger.

You're too lazy to hit a button on your mic when your wife comes in. That's what you're complaining about? The 18 inches between your hand and ear? If you don't want us to hear your conversations, take the thing off. Press T to Talk.
I think I just got hit by a serious bug. I am entering The Backdoor for the first time and its taken 10 minutes to load but still isn't done. I've never had a load take even half this long all game.
Single player, ps3 version
I'm scared to reboot while its stuck on the loading, but what else can I do?

It's not about lazy, it's about not wanting to take a break in the action to move my finger off the keyboard to find and hit the mute button. If I'm in the middle of a firefight I'm not going to take the time to take my headset off and set it somewhere that people can't hear what's going on. Push to talk is superior in every way imo, though I guess if you don't have the thumb button on your mouse I could see why you wouldn't like it (though practically every mouse I've seen that isn't $5 or a prebuilt PC pack in has those buttons).God's Beard said:
That's like saying I'm lazy for using ctrl-c and ctrl-v instead of moving the mouse up to edit->copy and edit->paste.
And your solution for me not wanting to even take a break from the action long enough to hit mute on my headset is to use T to talk and type out the entire message? :lol

This is pretty much a byproduct of the Unreal Engine 3. Every online game that I can think of that uses the engine has this problem. "Bullet lag" is especially apparent, and much much worse in the Gears of War series.RubxQub said:
