Lack of tactics

I always rush into combat with a strategy to take out one guy, and then his friends come out and suddenly my tactics won't work and I'm left running and gunning it, and to me that just says that the game's so simple and fast paced that strategy won't work. It's still a great game, I just feel like the lack of thought in combat makes it less deep.

Borderlands is supposed to be funny and stupid. Pretty overrated if you ask me.

The game isn't about tactics, its about absurdity.

It is VERY good at being absurd. Absurd stats, absurd guns, absurd powers.

Astronomy Picture of the Day!

I would argue that the combat of Borderlands 2 is not the focal point of the game. Borderlands 2 completely capitalizes on making the player feel awesome about every little improvement made on their character; basic combat is just one method for said character development and investment.

Also, like Tibetz said, the game doesn't take itself very seriously so the players shouldn't either. :p

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

The Black Chapter!

It's not like the enemy spawn locations are difficult to spot.
Sounds like you need to work on your strategies. Try not rushing in at first - snipe out the first couple, then move in to mop up the remainder.

Or just snipe out all of them, either way works fine.
