I don't care about windage and drop rate. I just want to shoot shit. But the soldier is fun too just for the deployable turret. It's fun to watch that thing mow shit down. I just wish I could find a way to make it deploy for longer periods of time.

I'm very cowardly when I'm using my soldier. I set my turret and find cover and start shooting. I'm more likely to jump right into the fight with the siren. I guess it's because of her ability and the fact I already know what's coming.

Even with a soldier I find that I still do a lot of distance shooting. Of the three weapons he carries one is a sniper rifle and the other is an SMG with a 2.8 zoom scope. It just makes since to avoid direct confrontation. Health packs ain't cheap afterall.

I found creating a second character was easier and a bit funner.

Wow there's a fuckload of loot at the end of the Secret Armory of General Knoxx. I realized as I got to about halfway through that expansion that the enemies weren't leveling with me anymore, so after I beat it I switched to 2nd playthrough, and started the Claptrap Rebellion DLC. The loot is getting awesome now, I'm at like level 43 or something.

I also managed to get a class mod with +2 Rare Loot on it, so I've been wearing that everywhere. After I started wearing that, I got five alien guns, plus tons of purples and oranges.

Bender, I got a Hunter class mod with +2 Rare Loot on it too, so I've held onto it for you. Next time you're online, invite me to your game and I'll hand it over.It's like level 34 I think.

I'm on now. :-D

Jude, when you get done with all those DLCs you should rank them for us. It sounds like some are better then others.

Damn. Is there no way to get a vehicle in the Trash Coast area? :smt017

Sure.

1. Zombie Island - this one was the best because it offers more of the gameplay style of the rest of the game, but with a different, horror-inspired theme. The zombies make great enemies, slow, but there are swarms of them. Lots of new areas to explore, bosses to kill, loot to be gained.

2. Claptrap Revolution - this is just barely #2, it's a lot of fun like the above, the claptrap humor and robotic versions of previous enemies are pretty funny. A lot of good boss fights here too.

3. General Knoxx - this one was fun, but has a very serious drawback in that you have to do a LOT of driving over very long distances to get anywhere. This changes the gameplay experience drastically, where there is a lot of travel time as everything is very spread out. As a result, I ended up skipping a lot of side-quests as I didn't feel like driving for ten minutes to get to a destination. However, the main boss fight is fucking awesome (though you get to do it again twice in Claptrap Revolution). Lots of weapon chest around, and looting the armory at the end results in lots of great loot.

4. Underdome - pointless, even if it wasn't laggy. Might be fun with a team for some short encounters.

no but I plan to now (after I beat it again)

General Knoxx might be more fun with a team though, as you could man the various seats in the new tank vehicle.

I might get one or two of the DLC. But I don't think I'll get all of them. I have too many other games I'd rather spend my money on then more of the same one game. No matter how completely and totally awesome that game may be.

I think on the psn they have a discounted bundle pack for all the DLC

You should definitely get Zombie Island and Claptrap revolution then.

BTW I killed the Rakk Hive last night. Jude, do you remember when you killed that thing were there two weapons chest that were already open and empty when you went to loot the area? Because that's what happened to me. Two huge weapons chest. Just sitting there. Both already open and empty. I figure it was either a game glitch or some black guy stole it. :smt013
