So last night I was able to play some Borderlands Co-op with a couple friends. My roommate was getting frustrated trying to get 4 people together but we settled on 3 of us who all had characters around 10-12. I had a Berserker, my roommate a Siren and our friend had a Soldier. We started off in Fyrestone and just plowed through stuff at first. As we got to Sledge's hideaway we started running into some problems. Namely all of us kept running out of ammo. None of us remembered having this much of an ammo problem in our previous play throughs, but then we hadn't really played low level characters in MONTHS. Then we started dying a lot on the way back out of Sledge's place.
Another friend joined us with his level 11 Soldier (by then the rest of us were around level 14). We opted to go back and do some side quests instead of heading into the Mine which was rated at level 17. So we went into the Shocking Caverns to pick up the crystals. We loaded up on ammo and headed in. And we still ran out of Ammo. At several points we hit Corrosive or Fire Alpha Skags.
All in all we ended up around level 17, and we all had a good time. It looks like we're going to allocate these characters are our current team characters and set aside a specific night/time to have more co-op fun. I'm really looking forward to it.
So far I've put in about 133or so hours into Borderlands according to Steam. I'm guessing I'll push past 200 Christmas.
I probably need to pick up the 4th DLC one of these days too. I really love games that I can come back to and really enjoy. Borderlands is starting to rank up there with Diablo II, Serious Sam the Second Encounter, Starcraft, Age of Empires II, and City of Heroes.
I actually haven't gotten around to playing border lands ( Playing through Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood atm ) but my boyfriend keeps trying to get me to play it. It sounds really interesting from the way you describe it...now I'm actually thinking about playing it! I didn't realize there where THAT many game play hours in the game. Looks like a good buy!
