Coded is 70, yes. (I'm thinking DLC4 is going to be small because it might just be another cap increase by 9, and you honestly can't get much bigger than Knoxx without making it epic enough to be BL2.)

I think it's just challenging the concept of shooters as being very instant, that you can play... kind of on the same playing field as the better players, e.g. you have the same maps and the same guns and it's all skill from then on.

But in Borderlands, there is no skill gap - you have level 61 players who play like shit and the only reason they're 61 is because they bought Knoxx and leeched Craw games; you also have really good RPG and FPS players who know what to do in the genre, but they reach mid-game and "ah fuck this is stupid" because you're stuck there in a completely new game/franchise of a rather mixed genre and it just takes too long to be "good" in a sense.
