interesting bit of info on how proficiency with weapons work



Each of the game's four character classes, which you can read all about in our Meet the Killers feature, can use all the weapons in the game. So if you want to play as a Berserker, whose special action skill is to pummel enemies with fists, you can still equip a sniper rifle and be pretty decent with it. That's because the more you use a weapon, the higher your proficiency with it gets. By the time you've built up a high level character you should be seeing some nice benefits. At proficiency level 15 for submachine guns, for instance, you'll get a 15 percent damage bonus, 30 percent boost to reload speed, and a 45 percent accuracy increase.

Sounds like how it worked with GTA SA. Use the weapons more better you get at them. :)

I could just sit at the back picking people off with my sniper whilst the heavy gunners run up to the front. :p
 
It's rare that a developer sets out to accomplish a goal, (in this case, "Diablo" with skill-based FPS gameplay) and hits it smack on the head by the end product. The folks at Gearbox did just that, making one of the strongest games to release this year.

Im excited about this game but I think there might be issues on replay. one review said it took 17 hours to do the game first time round (to lvl 35) and then theres game + (to take you to lvl 50)....ok so once you have done that...then what?

edit: Maybe I'm just used to other games where I'll play for 100's of hours and really feel I got my moneys worth because of it.

video review, quite a few have mentioned the frist hour or so is a bit bull where you're stuck in one area, killing lots of skags, but soon opens up.


PimP's I suppose playing through as a different class will add some time as will MP hopefully.

really hoping there's some mixed level procedurally generated areas where you can expect to encounter certain types of creatures (ie an area with a few of those big hives things in)/massive crimson legion bases to do a few times in MP that have different number/equipped enemies though.

and the arena deathmatch might be fun.

oh in the gametrailers video it shows an alien gun called the 1011101 cannon

with the text description "010011110100110101000111"

That translates to "omg" :D

If it's anything like the "dove" pistol which has the description "sometimes i forget to reload" as it's description and has the special ability that it has infinite ammo and never needs reloading, this thing should be pretty sweet :D
 
How is this actually going to work character selection wise, if you start say roland, and another person does - can you two play together in coop?
