Talk:Borderlands 2

I think it's fine that this article exists, but I don't like the picture. Though, I don't want to just up and remove it myself. 31stCenturyMatt 01:10, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

- I made something a bit more appropriate. Is this more to your liking? --Mailia 20:00, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

That's great, very nice work. 31stCenturyMatt 20:12, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

The "cover art"
The cover art doesn't really bring anything to the article and just makes it longer. And it's not really that well made, as no one would really use an in-game shot from the previous game in the series as a cover art, so I suggest it to be removed. Mailia 18:54, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

Wait a second. Aren't you the person who put it there in the first place? It seems that way, according to the section above this.GT: ConceitedJarrad XBOX360 18:58, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

Nope. Not my addition. Check the revisions again. Mailia 19:03, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

I see. you added the logo. I suppose you're right, on second thought. It's inaccurate info in an article. Remove it again if you wish, but just don't "undo" because my last revision was to clean up the article a bit.GT: ConceitedJarrad XBOX360 19:07, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

I'll be honest, half the reason I undid you in the first place was because I thought it was Matt of the Wastes who made that edit, and typically "undoing" him is never a bad move. My bad, it was more reflex than anything.GT: ConceitedJarrad XBOX360 20:12, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

on gearbox.com
ive noticed on gearbox.com they have 4 projects and 2 of them are unamed. is it possible that 1 of them is borderlands 2/borderworlds? Atomichunter 18:49, April 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * yes, it is possible. i cant tell much from the wording used by mr pitchford though.  keep an eye on it though.   19:28, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Website Link
for your convenience: http://borderlands2.com/

The second link under references on the artical page is a good read. Some of it seems quite intersting and exciting. Some of it I will have to see before I can decide if I like it or not. -- 20:06, August 10, 2011 (UTC)

Scans of the GI article. Get 'em while they're hot. Dämmerung 20:30, August 10, 2011 (UTC)

The art is pretty cool. The enemies look badass. The guns do look unique and different. Im not sure if its just me but the only vehical shown looks like the ride from Halo minus the turret on top. Lets hope they dont go there. 20:38, August 10, 2011 (UTC)

Salvador the Gunzerker
From reading the "Scans of the GI" artical linked by Dammerung above, It would seem that Duel-wielding is his Action Skill. This gives him the ability to use two of the same type of weapon for a short period of time the same way Roland can drop his Turret or Lilith can enter Phasewalk. Very interesting. 21:07, August 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * According to the interview with Randy P (viz. video on gameinformer.com), action skills are richer overall. And apparently the all-new-and-improved Zerker can still Zerk with his fists while raging, too, old-style. Makes me wonder how much the remaining classes will be tweaked-and-improved versions of the old classes. Gunsiren. Gunhunter. Gunsoldier. gives me a real Cheat Commandos vibe Dämmerung 21:12, August 10, 2011 (UTC)

Im hoping Phasewalk makes a reappearence. I love that skill. Though i was wrong about the ability to Duel-wield the same type of weapon. Apparently he can Duel-wield any two weapons at the same time while in his Active Ability mode. 21:16, August 10, 2011 (UTC)

Also, I.N.A. Claptrap will now be fighting on the same side as the "Vault Hunters" instead of against them. I would like to see a tag team with my old Friend Clappy against the forces of EVIL. That could be fun and quite amusing as well. 21:34, August 10, 2011 (UTC)

teaser trailer
+1 internet to raz for digging up that little gem. is it the gas talking or is salvador wearing a DK pin?

07:05, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * one (i) assumes it is |>|<|. however i am also sure there will be no end of revision to his page once there is one re: trivia = dead kennedys.   10:31, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

It will be AWESOME! (In Spongebobe voice) 99.100.233.9 (Talk) 13:01, 16 August 2011

Erdium... Eredian
Obvious connection. But it still needs to be said. The only question is whether they created it, or mined it?86.181.192.88 21:11, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Iridium(spelled Eridium in the G.I. artical) is a real, albeit rare, mineral that can be found on earth. Mining for Eridium is one of the reasons for the orginal settelment of Pandora. Eridians( Aliens) were most likely named after the Mineral, not the other way around. 21:27, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Eridium probally isn't misspeled, it's probally named after Iridium. Eridians probally invented it and stored it in the ground. They probally think everyone wants to steal it, that's why they are hostile. I'm not looking for a fight, i'm just saying what I think. Purple dempsey 222 18:27, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

The new classes action skills
I was thinking that if there is a new Soldier class, the turret drop might be sweet if you could equipe any weapon from your inventory. Imagine a Mongol turret or A Steel Anarchy turret. I guess we will find out next year. Awesome. 12:53, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

I'm personally hoping for a mannable turret. Mounted weapons were so few and far between in the first one, they need to make a better, more structured appearence in 2. Maybe have it be ammunition based, not time based, and have skills give it a grenade/missle launcher, and those ray-shield things for cover? As stated, only time will tell

It seems that Mara's skill is a stun like ability called phaselock. 3 trees 10 skills each. Some skills are

Harmony

Manufacturers
Stream from Gamescom confirmed that Atlas and S&S are no longer making weapons.Beware the clap 20:33, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

F*ck they'd better get some good lookin' replacements then :-p I... I am the King! 17:50, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Story writer
Howdy, Not sure where it would fit best into the page, but it might be cool info to mention that Anthony Burch of "Hey Ash Whatcha Playin'" is writing the story for Borderlands 2. Just a thought :) please slap it in the article if you can find a good spot! -Sean Colombo 04:32, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

Borderlands 2 Podcast
Game Informer released yesterday a special edition podcast about the game answering some questions and giving new information about the game. DuckmanBR 19:48, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

new video of BL2 Gameplay
Didnt see this anywhere here so im adding it. Chech this out. WOW just WOW. 15:16, September 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Working from a lower-res version, I did my best to capture those zerker skills at Talk:Salvador. Will take another pass from your mo'betta version. Dämmerung 17:10, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Theres that. Did you see the GUNS! and the very end with Salvador giving the double salute when he was flung off the dam? DAM!!!!!! Again WOW. 17:25, September 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * So much detail, so many pending unanswered questions. Can't tell if the variable ROF is a Vladof feature or a class attribute or something else.  And that final double-number-one fall-off-the-map animation (which is awesome) suggests that explosions now throw you around, just like rocket blasts would throw around enemies in BL1.  (though I don't remember actually knocking an enemy off the map in BL1, ever).  (time to roll up a new Bombardier and test that memory)  Dämmerung 17:45, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Atlas out of bussines? Yeah right...
I heard that the Atlas will not be returning to Borderlands 2 is becouse they where but out of bussines in the end of Secret Armory of General Knoxx. THAT MAKES NO SENSE!!! They are said to be the biggest and richest manufactered controlling alot of worlds and making food, space ships, suitcases etc. Their even have their own Private army! (Although Hyperion has that to). It would make no sense that they would be put out of bussines becouse General Knoxx is killed and his armory has destroyed. He and his army whas just a small part of the Crimson Lance witch is just a small part of the Atlas Corporation! I understand that they have forsaken Pandora but the arcticle claim otherwise! How can this be? Harald97 16:17, September 9, 2011 (UTC)

Because it's already been confirmed. They're out of business. 11:42, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

Where exactly does it say they're out of business? I think it makes more sense that they simply abandoned further efforts on Pandora. 69.141.21.13 02:17, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * it says this in the Game Informer artical. I do think it say that Atlas is put out of business on Pandora. It does not say if it is put out of buiness everywhere. Veggienatersml.png 02:59, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks. The article on the wiki joust said that they were out of bussines. Harald97 20:46, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

modder
all i wont to know is will they make it harder to modde this game i am tired of modders in borderlands 1
 * that is the idea behind the move to cloud saves, yes.  20:28, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

i beleve there is a video on youtube mentioning a new weapon type http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQF7GQjTjsM 12 mins 32 secs in. a bullet hose. with 3+ barrels and a new ammo type. smaller rockets.. if someone wants to add that info

the new ammo type was gyro jets http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQF7GQjTjsM 4:45

More colors suddenly?
Hasn't anyone noticed the fact there's more vegitation?

Is it because the giant H blocking out the sun/moon helped this because they let off too much heat for anything to grow? 207.6.25.27 03:02, October 26, 2011 (UTC)

Not sure about the giant H. One of the complaints by many players is that there was not enough veriaty in the environments, so they are adding more "colors". Since we have only seen a "small portion of the planet" so far, that leaves room for them to expand in this area of the game. 03:14, October 26, 2011 (UTC)

Since this takes place 5 years after the first game, it should be at the begining of winter on Pandora. Perhaps that is when the vegitation is at it's fullest since the summer is so hot. 68.70.191.153 01:56, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

Pandora is a big place. The change in climate isn't due to the seasons changing, it's a location change. 13:05, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

Release Date
Until GBX actually announces the release date, i think we should just avoid mentioning on the article what different websites are saying and keep it here until further notice. But thats just me.. anyone else? 18:30, November 27, 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. Official release date only. -- WarBlade 18:56, November 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thats fine with me. I was just trying to show that the dates were varied so noone would assume anything. Veggienatersml.png 19:41, November 27, 2011 (UTC)

yeah, i understand that. its just some people may get confused looking at both. 21:55, November 27, 2011 (UTC)

For what it's worth, +1. 12:37, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

(According to Best Buy's online catalog, Borderlands 2 is expected to be released April 10th, 2012.)( According to Gamestop.com, Borderlands 2 release date is 9/1/2012)
 * I saw somewhere (can't remember where) but a release date was said to be june 2012 02:01, December 13, 2011 (UTC)

Still, with all the hype, I wonder why they're waiting so long to let people know. It seems that waiting this long to give us a release date is just wearing the excitement thin. War1ord 36 13:54, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

They are still working on the game. they only just started working on the live action Lilith shots and im sure they have a ways to go game play. They still have not released anything about the other two playable Vault Hunters. My guess its going to still be a while before we get a definite date. -- 14:38, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

What Veg said. Remember, they wouldn't even admit that a Borderlands 2 existed until last August. "Leaks" are incredibly valuable publicity tools, and Gearbox is doling them out carefully to maintain the sense of excitement during the remainder of the long development cycle. Just look at how hard they're recycling the poor Gunzerker! I predict a release in time for Christmas, 2012. Dämmerung 16:44, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

More info....Grenades.
Another Iterview about BL2... this time about Grenades :P. Check it out HERE -- 18:20, February 9, 2012 (UTC)

If someone wants to post the tidbits of info from that article...


 * 18,000 types of grenades, more in-depth modification. "Delivery Mechanism" affect their travel "Behavior Modifications" affect their explosive pattern.
 * Roland is rounding up the remnants of the Crimson Lance to fight against Hyperion, who has become the new Atlas.
 * The "Down, Not Out" skill for Salvador lets him dual-wield weapons while crippled.
 * The difficulty is set to spike in the second playthrough
 * Split-Screen online play is confirmed
 * Trading system for loot has been implemented
 * Duel for loot has been implemented
 * Claptraps as a product line have been wiped out, save for the original claptrap.

18:08, February 9, 2012 (UTC)

Launch Date and Two Classes revealed
Looks like Sept 18 Sate side, Sept 21st international

thumb||As for the classes, in the video can see a solider much like Roland, named Axton and an assassain named Zero, good stuff Macamac 14:48, February 22, 2012 (UTC)Macamac

A male assassin! Saw the assassin as a collectible figurine at the toy expo, but assumed from its color palette that he was an enemy. My mistake. Dämmerung 15:48, February 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * Claptrap dubstep...oh that's classic...unce,unce,unce...-- 07:05, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

After reading the page
I'd find the lack of Wub Wub disgusting. The article needs to mention how much more Wub Wub will be in the game.--JacktheBlack 00:05, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

THEY ACTUALLY TOLD MAYA'S ABILITY CALLED PHASELOCK SO IT SHOULD BE EDITED TO TELL THAT SHE HAS THAT ABILITY!!!! STUPID EDIT LOCK!!!

Adding more info to the load
I'd like to add some released data of Borderlands 2, courtesy of PC gamer/trailer:

Number one: according to PCG, the artic bullymog will have a cinematic intro(Like the bosses from borderlands 1 did) where the bullymog tears through the text.(PGC, january 2012 issue.)

Number two: Bandit killers still seem to sport the same face mask(0:32) although their body armour is less uniform and more ragged.

Three: I can confirm the layout of the party truck, as the back appears to be standing zone while the passenger side is the canon, similar to the lancer's(1:12).

And also, can we please stop the argument over split-screen? News gets fouled. The trailer was from gearbox. If that's really not enough, just say instead that "Borderlands 2 is still in debate whether split-screen is supported or not." 207.6.25.27 00:50, March 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * noted. gbx has published that split-screen will not be available for 🇵🇳. 03:15, March 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's interesting, as they said different in the doomsday trailer. 207.6.25.27 18:31, March 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Split-screen online play will only be available for the PS3 & XBox 360. See here, specifically the last bulletin and here. 19:10, March 5, 2012 (UTC)

GUARDIAN ANGEL IS PISSED!
The guardian angel will probably be more sassy and mean now that the vault hunters killed all her little clap trap children! SHE WILL FIRE LASERS AT YOU FROM HER EVIL SATLITTE!

NO S&S AND ATLAS?! NO!!!!!! I love them they make the perfect guns

WARLOADERS AND MACHINE THINGS ARE EVIL! HOW CAN U FIGHT GIANT EVIL MACHINES WITH LASER CANNONS!!! By laser cannons it is at the bottom in the pictures section

NEW VEHICLES! YAY! More room for me and my cousins to play in the 4 seater! All of this article by Nealon and Jacob! :)

reply: but you play as a whole new set of characters, so you don't have anything to do with killing the clap traps. Besides, that DLC hardly seemed Canon. 69.228.89.152 06:42, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

ga's role in the (presumed) "story"
guardian angel is hyperion (maybe). handsome jack is hyperion (fact). the GA tasks the new characters with killing jack. what gives? does hyperion want jack dead? was the 4N631 satellite cracked by a mysterious third party as some believe? is the satellite jealous of jack's spiff new floating H moonbase? it's unsurprising that hyperion wants the original vault hunters gone (again) given the typical (mega)corporate thinking of throwing the merc out with the bathwater, but why does the ga want jack taken out?? hopefully gbx's VP of Making Up Crap earns his paycheck this go 'round and, at the least, performs a google search for keyword "plot." 18:55, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

Nobody said it was the guardian angel that wanted him dead. Lillith replaces the guardian angel in this respect. Also, what if handsome jack owned the hyperion corporation in borderlands 1, leading the vault hunters to the vault? Then he could have actual credit for finding the vault. :l 64.180.101.192 23:20, March 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * the borderlands wikia says it so it must be true! actually, i culled this info from the borderlands 2 wiki, which in turn, culled it from an issue of game informer mag. the links are on the mainspace page, mate. 19:54, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

enemy weapons customization?
i went back to the leaked gameplay footage to see if i saw what I thought i saw when i thought i saw it. and yep, that DAHL TEDIORE gyrojet rifle dropped by a bandit and picked up by the player man at 4:35 has a BANDIT nut-and-bolt front sight. are the enemies customizing their own munitions? did a bandit pick up a dahl tediore rifle, see something he didn't like, and tack weld on a new front sight? i, for one, am joy-puking once again. 23:09, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

Actually, Torgue makes the gyrojet ammo now. Randy Pritchford(Angel choir) confirmed it. Also, more news from Kotaku. http://kotaku.com/5890787/trying-to-recapture-that-first+time-feeling-of-whoa-in-borderlands-2/gallery/1 64.180.101.192 23:17, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

ERIDIAN REVOLVERS, REPEATERS, AND SMG'S!!! :)
Something they need in the new game are eridian revolvers, repeaters and smg's because well. I don't like shotguns and don't use rifles much but sniper I am ok with! BUT I NEED AN ERIDIAN REVOLVERS AND SMG'S SO ADD THAT IN THE GAME!!! Nealon The Siren 05:36, March 11, 2012 (UTC) Nealon The Siren

 * who's the 6th? did I miss something fun? ~Z 134.39.163.180 16:08, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Special Editions!
they need to be added to the wiki. ~Z 134.39.163.180 16:05, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * right now the only details known are that they exist, their prices, and a tidbit or two of what they consist of. after the details are released would be the time to add them officially. that's not to say that you mightn't create a forum or blog to discuss them. 16:40, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
