actually sounds more like post apoc halo (will you actually be racing? looks more like they're just combat vehicles) with some sort of random quest/mission generator tacked on.

guys, we should start the POWAH ARMOR MANZ clan back up.
The answer to your first question is shaddup.

If Diablo would meet Mad Max, there'd be no Diablo.

Funny how it says, first person coorperative shooter, while everybody goes for da big shiny items. There aren`t any coorperative games, humans aren`t made to think coorparative, expect it involves some money or in gamelanguage, XP points.

anything that REQUIRES cooperation is likely to suck, but if cooperation is POSSIBLE, it can be the greatest thing in the world.

"Borderlands represents an important evolutionary leap in game design and technology,"

In other words, it has good graphics... for now.

"By utilizing revolutionary new technology to create thousands of unique, randomly generated missions, weapons and situations, Borderlands will raise the bar for next gen action games."

See that magic? It's easy to make something really old like a random mission generator sound new by saying "revolutionary." And random situations? Like the enemy might shoot you or he might try to pull your pants down?

I always stayed away from multiplayer because I can't stand death match games. When they do co-op half the time it's half assed and no good, or its deathmatch with teams. Co-op was my favorite way to play multi-player in the original Doom and Quake. I liked being able to play through the single player game with a team mate. I know they did it in Halo 2 but I don't own an x-box and I refuse to buy Vista so I haven't experienced it yet. I'm interested in seeing if they actually get it right. Rainbow Six would have been cool if all your team members could be real people. Maybe it'll be like that?
