Anyone ever play this co-op? 

I've never played the game, but my brother is really excited to play this co-op.  Just trying to get a feel for what to expect when I fire it up later tonight.

The single-player is a lot of fun, but I hear the Co-Op is outstanding.  Never tried that, though.

I started playing last night.  The tab screen has a wonky interface.  It angers me.

I do like shooting crap, so it's got that going for it.

It's one of my favorite shooters.  I love the art direction, and the randomly generated guns are a lot of fun to collect.  Never tried co-op, but SP was a blast!

Highly recommended from me (I even wrote an editorial about the game).

I don't have a gamespy account.  It can be done through a local host, but yeah they need a server setup like L4D or most other FPS games.

Borderlands uses Gamespy for it's networking service. 

Hopefully with Borderlands 2 the networking be through Steam instead...

Yep, they've dropped Gamespy for Steamworks MP integration for the second game.

I think I put bout 65 hours in to the first one, and the first DLC add on. Really liked it.

OK.  I realized I did have a gamespy account.  Don't remember signing up, but whatever.  The multiplayer is pretty fun, it's just the single player game done as a team and slightly harder.  I picked the sniper class, which I'm not really liking atm.
