Borderlands Squads or whatever you want to call it

I'm pretty damn hyped for Borderlands. I hate to fall for it, but I have, so it has become a day one purchase. I just wanted to gauge interest of the DToid community. It would be nice to have an idea who's going to get it and on what platforms. I searched for a thread, but didn't see anything so I figured I'd make one. So something along the lines of this would be nice.

Here's a look at the character classes more in-depth courtesy of ZippyDuda.

Spec your characters courtesy of Kauza. A bit late to put this up, but better than never I suppose.

Roland: http://www.borderlandsthegame.com/skilltree/roland/
Brick: http://www.borderlandsthegame.com/skilltree/brick/
Mordecai: http://www.borderlandsthegame.com/skilltree/mordecai/
Lilith: http://www.borderlandsthegame.com/skilltree/lilith/

***I'll compile all of these into the first post***
I'll also now add whatever classes people are playing and their level.

Yeah, he's a little hard to master, but once you do, he is super useful.

Yeah, I would hope I'm at least decent by now with the 140 hours I've played that class.

I'm a tad confused, are people just posting classes from TF2 or ones they prefer in other games as we don't know the weapons yet? And what does Hopeful Tag mean?

Anyway:

Steam ID: The_End21 (but I go by Zippy)
PSN: Gladiator_21
Platform: PC or PS3
Class: A spy like class, sniper, demolition or medic

There are four classes in Borderlands. Sniper, Soldier, punchy Brick dude, and ghostwalker chick uhhh Siren I think maybe? One person was just joking around and said demo I think. We couldn't know the weapons, probably ever. That's part of the lure of the game with the customization and randomization.

Hopeful tag applies more to the PC I guess. I'm assuming that the game will let people use their XBLA tag, and hopefully for the PSN there will be none of the MGO bullshit, but on the PC you could have a different name in pretty much every game so hopeful tag means what you hope your nick is going to be basically if you you're getting it on the PC.

Sorry for the somewhat long-winded response.

The Pat Man
PSN: Patmann2009
Platform: PS3
Class: Soldier or Berserker

I would like to play Soldier since I like to be the supporting class. But I'll most likely be playing Berserker since nobody else wants to play him and I also like to play as the underdog. I was first disappointed when I saw his skill trees. But I have a feeling I'll be pleasantly surprised when I start to play as him.

I'm assuming that means 360, correct me if I'm wrong.

Yep, Gamertags are the 360 form of identification.

>_> Yeah, I know gamertags are for 360s, I just like to be certain about things. Especially because for some people gamertag has become something of a colloquialism for a gaming nick or tag in general, not necessarily exclusive to the 360 platform.

Ah OK, I'll remake my post then. Just looked up these "Skill Trees" on Wiki.

Put me down for both PS3 and PC please.

Steam ID: The_End21 (but I go by Zippy, so my hopeful tag will be Zippy)
PSN: Gladiator_21
Platform: PC and PS3
Class: Roland as Medical or Support, or Lilith as Assassin.

Also, here's a handy link for people to decide their classes: http://gameaxis.com/across-the-borde...nd-characters/

Maybe put that in the top post as well Cwal?

Also, Lilith sounds JUST like the Spy in TF2 from that link's description.

Or any Rogue/Thief based class in any RPG ever.

Also mark me down for playing Hunter too, sounds awesome.
