You'll unearth secrets and escalate the mysteries within the Borderlands universe, as you traverse and explore uncharted regions of Pandora in Borderlands 2."

FUCK YEAH!

They'll need to have improved the quest system for me to get it day one.
Nearly everything was just a kill quest, or fairly uneventful fetch quest. Got old after a while.
Still highly anticipating this game though.

Sad we won't see a return of our characters. It'd be cool if they let you import them.

That was my first though too, Liam.

Personally, what really hooked me on the original Borderlands was the humor that the characters brought, as well the absolute plethora of guns. The looting system was simply phenomenal...every time I opened up a chest, I always was wondering what goodie I would find this time.

Oh yay. Day 1 for me most likely.

I am offically wet.....sopping!

wooot

meh lol

I'll surely be playing it.

I would have thought it would be set on a new planet...
They made numerous references to a planet called Prometheus, so I thought it might be there.

When Atlas says "At least you're not on Promethia" as a positive for been on Pandora, I get scared that I have to go there.

I'm in.

Yeah, dual wielding LMGs just sounds like a dream come true.

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAL WIEEEEEEEEEEEEELD!

Pfffft. Dual wielding snipers is where its at!

I see it now, Online parties, everyone is a dual wielding looney toon.

CoD fanboy after a duel with a dual wielding shotgunner: "OMG THAT DUDE WITH THE AKIMBO MODELS KEEPS KILLING ME. WHAT A NOOB!"

Dual wielding shotgun users in MW2 are noobs and worse...

lol at the image of a guy holding a scope up to each eye.

Akimbo Barret .50's with Steady Aim! : D

First teaser trailer:

oh man, this game should be sweet. It's a shame that the older characters wont be in this one as playable characters. Totally new guns huh, sounds pretty sweet. I just got back into playing the old one and am a little disappointed at all the noobs with cheat weapons running around. I was playing in old haven having a hard time killing people with my level 69 lilith and pearl weapons and two people level 45 join and start killing them one shot. Hopefully they will fix that. Good thing it doesn't come out till next year or else my responsibilities might suffer.

im actually pretty excited for this game

Some new info on the Gunzerker character, Salvador.
They're getting a bit nuts with the skills.

Loved Borderlands. Looking forward to number 2
