I'm liking the tougher difficulty, the first was a blast, but really Bone Head, right at the beginning, was the only time it seemed tough.

Let me know if i am not using this term correctly, but I found myself "zerging" last night. I kept dying, respawning and rushing back to the area killing whatever enemies were left. luckily the enemies you kill do not respawn after you die. at least i don't think they do.

They'll respawn after a certain amount of time passes.

Crossing my fingers....tracking shows my copy scanned here locally at 7:30am.

Just curious as to who out there is doing one character solo and one coop? Also if any are up to do a group from start to finish?

wlj

i am just doing Zero the assassin. That is a character type I did not play in the first. i only did soldier and siren

The boss fights respawns with full health whenever you die.

RE: Golden Key again, is it best to open it when in a group, or does that not matter?

Krayzie

That shouldn't matter.

FYI if you play on the pc, they have already figured out how to add gold keys, gamestop preorder map, preoder bonus items and SE items to your account by editing an INI file.

flashburn

lol, that figures. Not going to mess with that for many reasons though.

I am actually considering picking up the Season Pass, seems like a pretty good deal if this game has as much shelf life as it seems like it would.

glad i'm not the only one who was dying a lot. i'm fine with it too.

seems like the resists make a huge difference in this one. came across some pyro guys and my fire gun had almost no effect on them. switched to a normal and took them down no problem

Tips for beating the Boom Brothers would be appreciated...

focus on the rocket pack guy first. get to the back behind some barriers, so the cannon can't hit you. once you take the rocket pack guy out, shoot the cannon guy until he can't use it anymore. then do same above, because 2nd guy shoots rockets at you. i've found that shotguns work really really well against them close up.

Rob V

Thanks -- I'll give the shotgun a try. I was using a "pistol" that caused havoc on "flesh"... but it seems those guys are armored.

The issue w/ a shotgun is how long it takes to reload!

Is this available only for a limited time or something? Otherwise why buy it now, why not just wait until at least one comes out?

They've definitely given the elemental powers and resists more importance this time. Paying attention to it is a necessity in some cases rather than just a chance for bonus damage (I've also encountered a few quests that full-out require you to use a specific element). And on the defense side, I've seen more shields that offer full immunity to one element or another.

I'm just happy that my class mods now are listed on the skill tree when they modify it. That's a great help.

I love the Commando's turret so much. It distracts enemies so you can focus on dealing with them. It takes out the air shit that is hard to shoot. Plus, when you get missiles, it fucking CRUSHES enemies.

K&AJones

Well got the game tody which really surprised me. Got online and in time flat had a friend message me on which character and off we went in two player coop....he Zero and me Maya.

It's like the first one where at first you don't get much and everything is a bit basic. But after I got "Phase Lock" the fun begin. I was "PL" some enemies while they were under ledges and overhangs, they would rise only so high and he would go over and whack em' with the sword.Or just "PL" and he would snipe from a distance. I think we might have three later on....Zero, Anxton and Maya.

So far...

Skill tree is big improvement
Like the "Trading System"
Visually it's really a eye catcher

I'll hold off on more till I get further into the game....

Stand behind the cover that's near where you 1st drop into the area then use the sniper rifle the cyborg gave you for the fur. 3 headshots each should do it if you're at level 4.

flashburn

Just wait until you get to the phase shifting guys. They seem like they would be ridiculously annoying without the turret.

I saw that on CAG. I don't play Minecraft but still funny.

lordwow

Agreed!

Deftones

Oh, I'm there. Yeah, they suck ass but the turret can pick them up and shoot them. One more reason to love it.
