Good man. Hopefully it won't be botched in the same way the first game was. Really looking forward to playing it cooperatively this time :heh:

I'm worried I could be disappointed by this game, just because of the hype. It's not that I expect the game to be amazing, it's that I'm really, really looking forward to the level of co-op fun I got from the first game.

Much like The Dark Knight, I'm in a very relaxed state about the game.

 

Also, as Cooky hasn't picked I'll be Zer0 as I like the sound of him. It also sounds very different to the soldier I had last time, which, due to the upgrades/perks I picked, was very much a team support character (shooting teammates healed them, and the very handy team ammo regeneration).

Sounds good to me mate.

I have no idea what "join a raid" means, but you can join a match with random people.

Say I planned on going against Terramorphous, but none of my friends online are playing, can I join another party online randomly for co-op action?

In the first game you could so it should be a yes for the sequel. It's sorta drop in/drop out co-op so the game scales depending on the number of players who can drop in or out at anytime but leave the host to continue playing the game.

Looks fantastic. But the more physical/special effects and details and amount of enemies onscreen, plus the VERY small snippet of split screen has me worried the split screen is going to be a framerate/slowdown mess.

Who's going to host? I would suggest someone with the fastest and most reliable connection. Mines not the greatest at around 7Mb. The host will obviously be the quest decider.

 

Also, so we don't advance the story out of the co-op, I'm going to have 2 profiles - my Siren for our team, and another for single/random player.

 

Also, charge your mics!

Is there a team for 360? @bob, @Hero\-of\-Time?

 

Can't let the PS3'ers have all the fun!

Alas I'm getting it for the PC because I was bad in a past life.

Mine is advertised at 24Mb...although my max download rate is 720kbps.

 

...I have no idea what that means.

Do a Speedtest

 

Mine is currently:

Although this is through a VPN on my company laptop, my PS3 tells me I'm around 7Mb usually.

 

If you have anywhere near 24Mb, you should host.

Doing it from my iPhone app I got,

 

Download: 6.07Mbps

Upload: 1.04Mbps

Ping: 91ms

 

What's 'Ping' mean exactly?

 

Edit: Okay, now my Ping is 32ms.

I'm no expert, but I think the ping is the time it takes for a signal to travel to the client - in this case your ISP's server, and back again. So it took your iPhone ping 32 milliseconds to travel there and back.

 

To translate it to a gaming application, it takes x milliseconds from when you pull the trigger, connect to the player and register, then feedback to your console telling you the player has been hit. Although there are other factors that can increase the ping or 'lag', such as controller response and TV calibration.
