I really enjoyed Borderlands and look forward to a sequel. A while back someone wrote a post about what you would change about Borderlands. One of the ideas was more classes. What you have like to see or design?
Some guidelines:
1. The class should have synergy with other classes.
2. Have a class power that easy to use (i.e. 1 button activates it like in Borderlands)
3. Have a class power with an elemental effect upgrade (like it already does).
4. Generally consistent with Borderlands mechanics and play.
Ideas to think about:
two guns, melee & grenades as own upgrade, simple weapon mods
Example ideas (to get the ball rolling):
Operative
Specializes in: SMGs and Sniper Rifles
Class Power: Orbital Laser
Laser that rains down damage from above. Doesn't work indoors.
Infiltrator
Specializes in: repeater pistols and Assault Rifles
Class Power: X-ray Goggles and phase bullets
Ability to see/shoot through objects
These aren't well thought out ideas for classes but give an idea of what I'm asking.
