    Anyone here have it? thoughts? I've been debating internally whether to get this first or MW2 first.

    Nope, I've heard good things and I'll be getting it when my paycheck comes through.

    I love it. It's an absolute blast, especially when playing with others. Me and a buddy sat around Wednesday and played it for basically 11 straight hours. It's addicting.

    Is this like Diablo 2 where you have get to do a bunch of runs to get the phat lootz?

    You actually start getting pretty decent loot early on, because the weaponry gets better as you get better.

    On a side note, I just beat it last night. The game was fantastic through and through...but the ending is horrible. Flat out shit.

    It's a blast dude, though the ending is just awful.

    So I've beaten the game in 5 days, but on no sleep. I beat Dr. Ned's Zombie Island, and am done with the lesser challenges for Mad Moxxi's Underdome. Loved the game, gonna go thru it on playthrough 2 as playthrough 2 is ALOT harder in terms of enemies difficulty level. Mad Moxxi's Underdome takes FOREVER!!

    I have yet to play co-op or versus with anyone. I'm on PS3 if anyone is interested. Just don't loot me assholes :P

    I've beaten it mostly 2 times. I probably have about an hour left on my 2nd playthrough. I've lost interest though since I have a level 50 character.

    And it's not much more difficult on playthrough 2, mainly because you're constantly getting better weapons and mods.

    So I played half an hour of playthrough 2. I entered at Lvl 40, and enemies are Lvl 32. In half an hour, I only have to go and kill Sledge, and I think I'll be done with Fyrestone. Woot..

    I personally think everything just seemed so much easier, even Sledge. Skagzilla was a cake too the second time.

    I'm pumped though, the next DLC is going to raise the level cap and is set to be the biggest expansion yet.

    Another DLC? When is the estimated release date?

    God, I'm pumped now, but I gotta hurry and the Underdome. I haven't done it yet cause of the time commitment haha

    No ETA yet. I haven't bothered with Underdome yet. It's apparently only worthwhile with multiple players, and at the moment, no one on my friends list is playing BL, so I'm not going to waste 800 MPs on it.

    It's still fun by yourself, but it goes much quicker with friends. My only complaint is that the challenges take up ALOT of your time.

    I got it for my dad at Christmas and he has been playing it non-stop.
