    It was basically the second rifle I ever picked up I think.. We have history.

    Really, though, I'm not really that good at processing the stats when I look at them. I usually just do the compare thing and pick the one that has the most green arrows.

    I just found a siren class mod which makes SMG bullets regenerates and increases the damage from SMGs :)

    Okay, the thread broke me, I'm going to be buying the game.

    I can't decide between the PC and the 360 versions. My PC should have no problem running it, but I haven't played a game on my PC since Red Alert 3 came out. I play pretty much everything on the 360.
    Is there supposed to be any big differences (Graphics or anything else) between the PC & 360 versions? Which one do you guys recommend?

    I'm stuck on a quest. It's the one where you put together the shotgun. We found three of the pieces but the quest marker keeps pointing to the fourth piece because I grabbed them out of order. Anyone know where it is?

    How good is the coop if players have a big (~10) difference in levels?

    Also, is anyone going to start a borderwangs2? Would really like to get on a list.

    Well, I hear that, because of the way the XP split works, the lower level characters will level up pretty fast depending on who's hosting.

    Canceled my retail preorder and just bought it on Steam instead. I wanted retail because of the spawn install for LAN play in case no other friends got it, but somehow they all got sold when I described Borderlands to them. :P

    I thought the retail version of the game had DRM issues so you couldn't do that stuff.

    Is anyone else getting a glitch with Transfusion grenades?

    Whenever I throw one, the health never comes back to me, it come back to the person I'm playing offline splitscreen with, even if she's at full health.

    Or am I missing something really basic?

    Some Gearbox dudes have mentioned spawn installs, but I have yet to hear it mentioned since. So that's another reason for me switching to Steam.

    Has anyone else had trouble with the mission where you collect parts for a sniper rifle? I know exactly where the objective marker for the body is, but I've searched everywhere around it and can't physically find it.

    None of the parts are on the actual marker. All the sniper rifle parts are near that area, so look all around, up on the walkways, around the building, etc. They're all there.

    Yes they are, they are all precisely where their marker is, you just aren't looking on all the levels.

    Weird. When I did that mission, there was only one marker in the area. The rifle parts were scattered all around it, and there was no part on the actual marker.

    One of the quest pistols has a 12 slot ammo capacity. Yet when you fire the ammo counter never ticks down and the gun never reloads/overheats. You can basically hold the trigger down forever and the gun will continuously fire....forever.

    Ive had extensive glitchiness on this quest, and the similar one for revolvers later. If you do some of it in co-op or split screen, you can run into trouble...
