Borderlands: Co-op Hands On

Here's what I've been waiting for and thankfully it's good news. Borderlands seems to be living up to my expectations. From this review, the co-op isn't some broken add-on, it's fully integrated in the game experience. Everything you gather (XP, money, weapons, etc) while playing in co-op you take with you if you play single player and you can trade weapons and armor with teammates. Other players can drop in at any time and play as any character they chose, so if one player is playing as the sniper you aren't limited to the other available 3 - both or all can be snipers; although strategically, it might be beneficial to mix it up. Borderlands will be available on Oct 20.
