    Default Borderlands: The Secret Armory of General Knoxx

    So, who got it?

    I have played about 1 1/2 hours of it (maybe less), and I have to say it seems a little bit less polished than Zombie Island was.

    Possible spoilers if you read further (not plot-wise though).

    There is some weird fps issues going on (keeps jumping all over the place, even though I am just standing still facing a wall nose to wall).
    Stopping (or at least trying to) a vehicle when it is in super charge mode, when you finally stop (like against a wall or something), makes the whole frikin screen shake like a drunk going through DT's.
    I am only playing PT1 right now (hoping to get more skill points), but it is pretty blah as far as enemies are concerned (few and far between, and very easy to kill).
    Sounds are kinda messed up. Like, when I was leaving the bar, the Greeting AND the Goodbye sounds both played at the same time.

    Seems like the game has reverted to a 4:3 state also, instead of a 16:10.
    Mouse smoothing seems to be back on.
    The FOV fix (F11 to 110 fov hack), now has to be pressed whenever anything is done it seems (like after running, it switches back to 90 fov). It used to only revert to 90 when using vehicles. Maybe a reboot will fix this.
    It seems like they have Bioshock 2 syndrome going also. There are just these rediculously bright plantlife spots. Overall, the DLC has a much brighter feel to it. It doesnt have the same ominous tone to the game.
    Vehicles. I thought it was going to be great with new vehicles. But, not really. They sound thunderous, and drive even slower than the buggies. Very irritating.
    BTW: What is freakin wrong with having the Run key bound to Nitrous/Boost for vehicle? Stupid that they put Boost and secondary fire bound to same key. WTD ????!!!!!!

    I did lose a couple weapons, but no biggy. Didnt lose the 4 I always play with.

    What are your thoughts?

    Reviso:

    Seems a reboot took care of the game brightness (not the bioshock 2 parts though).
    It also took care of the wildly fluctuating fps issue (thank God).

    I forgot to mention that I was getting stuck on every crack in the game too.
    Havent checked it after the reboot though.

    Going to sleep now.

    This is quite an add-on pack I've been hunting for pearlescent items and so far found 2 shields a repeater and a rocket launcher. Beating Crawermax is impossible on your own so I copied a siren character to another rig and had her phasewalk to a ledge and hide. I used a character from my other PC in LAN mode to battle/die against Crawermax a bazillion times to defeat him.

    I also have been exploiting a glitch to access the Armory after you defeat General Knoxx without activating the timer so you can check all the loot chests then just exit out of the game and redo over and over again.
