Also, if you want to disable in game voice chat, since there is no push to talk (yet) and it seems to be always on, you can disable it by going to "Steam\steamapps\common\borderlands\Engine\Config\BaseEngine.ini" then scrolling to the last line in that file and change "bHasVoiceEnabled=" from True to False.

Although, I'm having the unfortunate problem where my TS push to talk key isn't working in game. It works fine when my TS window is in focus. Dunno why it just now started doing that.

I believe mine does. And I found the reason I was able to play flawlessly last night is due to the person who was hosting doesn't use a firewall at all (he set his router to DMZ). I haven't tried hosting a game yet.

I gotta put my system in the DMZ or open a pile of ports I guess.

  Anyone have any sweet corrosive SMG's yet?  I just discovered how awesome they could be.  I got my char up to lvl 20 and I gotta step away for a few.

  Combine the anti-flesh of fire with the anti-shield of electric and you get corrosive.  My siren has a class advantage with the corrosive weapons (Electric and fire too).

  I need a few more xp unlocks and I will be able to kill with melee and jump back into invisibility almost immediately (Health and armor rebuild quickly while invisible too),  A corrosive spewing SMG would be bananas for the times I couldn't jump away.

Things to note, in case you weren't aware, or just for future reference:

To join a private friend hosted game, you can't join it from the friends list in-game. The people inside the server need to invite you. Also, when you join the host's game, you are joining their version of the world, in other words, their current quests.

Like if you had higher lvl quests that you were currently on in your game, but you join your friends game who is lower level and doesn't have that quest, yours won't be carried over.

Other than that, I think just adding people to each others friends list should be the gist to get it working, and that whole deal with opening ports if you wish to be the host.

My gamespy ID is 'Agent4054'

My gamespy ID is MPetch.  I didn't have time to play much last night (maybe an hour), but I got to lvl 5 as a Hunter. 

The sniper rifle is the suck so far, but Im sure it gets better with upgrades.

I take it Zx2Slow....that is your gamespy name?

I guess I will be getting this game this week. I just got a $5 gift card from Bestbuy today.
