Borderlands 2 Will Be Insanely Well-Armed

[josemlopes]

I really hated this statement from the first borderlands, and I hate it now. There are just base weapon types that, sometimes, have physical modifications and different stats. It's a randomized system; these aren't designed weapons.

Giving me a gun that's green and a gun that's blue, that fires the same way and maybe does different amounts of damage, is not a different gun in my opinion.

Even though a lot of them are like that there are some that are designed by someone like the "Elephant Gun", a sniper without a scope (there are only 2 in the game I think), the shotgun that shoots in waves, etc... overall it still has quite some variety in unique weapons (there are also the alien weapons).

What they say here is that they are making more styles of weapons and not just more weapons.
