    Because I'm curious, on the pc are the weapon quick slots for your 1-4 keys instead of the dpad?

    Yup. And rebindable.

    @ Adda It's in, haven't tried it myself.

    So the little x1 or whatever next to an element is how often it activates, or the strength of the element? Or is it both? I only ask cause I have one sniper rifle that does 146 damage, and another that does 88 but has x3 explosive, and I'm wondering which one is better.
    It seems to be how many chances it has to activate. So a x3 has three chances to go off. It might go off once, or 3 times, or not at all.

    Elemental damage seems to scale with level, regardless of the multiplier.

    Also, Elemental damage info is in the OP. All you need to know!

    Cool, good to know. Also one more question, lets say I have a class mod that gives me +2 to the Fast Hands talent, but I don't have any points in the talent. Do I need points in the talent to get the bonus?

    Well damn, missed the part with the levels in the op.

    Why did they go with Gamespy. That was the dumbest decision ever. Seriously, this is horrible, nobody can join anybody else's games. My router sucks so I can't change port forward settings, and when somebody does get into a game, lag or level differences screws them.

    What the heck is that???

    I mean, is it legit? It wants my damn CC number!!!

    Works fine. I used paypal, decrypted my files, set steam to offline and I've cancelled my account. If they charge my paypal any further, I'll use paypal to revoke the transaction. Bunch of people on SA have used it.

    Wow, this is just... incredible. So glad we have Gamespy instead of something good. And works. Looks like all the PC players who don't have this yet aren't missing out on anything since the game isn't working right anyway.

    So, I just played Brick for a little bit, but wasn't feeling it. I don't liek shot guns in FPS, I was using his pistol more then anything. so I am switching to Roland for Single Player.

    Is there anyway to skip the intro? I don't want to have to sit through this again when I start a MP with my friend.

    And why are people saying it's unplayable? I'm playing just fine.

    The game itself is okay. Gamespy is utter shit, however. It makes co-op nigh impossible. Also the beginning has unskippable videos but you can get rid of those by editing some stuff.

    Wow, I was out sick for 3/5 days last week and you guys jumped 1.5 threads. Nice!

    It's a real shame to hear about all the PC woes. It almost makes me less frustrated at the paperweight I used to call a gaming PC that's been sitting on my floor for a year. Not trying to sound dickish about that, honest! Before my PC went kaput I'd always go with that version over the console, given the choice (mostly for KB+M controls). But given the continued tradition of launch-day issues, and the seemingly increasing amount of PC "port-jobs", I'm finding that I miss it less and less. That being said, I'd still be playing plenty of games on the PC if I still had a viable, working one. All this crap does make one stop and think before purchasing nowadays, though.

    But enough of that - I've got a level 24 Siren now and a 12 Soldier. I'll be out of work in an hour and will be ready to shoot mans with anyone else willing.

    Canceled my Steam Pre-Order. Which was supposed to be released already, until they bumped it up by 3 days.

    Hearing that they use fucking GameSpy for the Co-Op, and that the interface suffers from console-port syndrome helped my decision. I've about had it with shitty ports.

    What ports do you need to open to get the multi hosting to work?

    EDIT: Found it at http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?p=1580601.
    Follow the instructions provided. The ports you need to open are:

    7777 (TCP/UDP)
    28900 (TCP)
    27900 (UDP)
    28910 (TCP)
    28902 - not in the readme, but opening this port helped alot of people

    This should probably be in the OP.

    Gamespy just hosts the master server people, they didn't code the multiplayer part of the game. They might lie about how many players there are, but all they do is give you the IP to connect to. Gamespy hosts master servers for more games than you think, and it works in them very well. Civ 4, Dawn of War 1, UT 1-3, and Battlefield all use Gamespy to host master servers, and no one complains about it in those games
