And as the topic creator for the first Borderlands I wanted to reserve the place for the second game

I'll edit as info goes on

My wish for the game is a "loot system", when I played online with Roland, I used long range guns and the loot was already taken. Maybe some kind of need/greed like in MMORPGs or allot Snipers to Mordecai, SMG to Roland ...

other info from PSU.com (taken from last issue of GameInformer) :

U.S. publication Game Informer’s got hold of the first concrete details on Borderlands 2.

As with the original game, Borderlands 2 will feature four-player co-op, though the cast itself will be entirely new. Among the fresh faces this time around include a duel-weapon wielding brute named Gunzerker.

Players will be able to bump up their vehicle and weapon statistics via in-game currency system, known as Eridium, with Borderland 1’s three-branch skill trees making a return.

Also on the table are dynamic story missions, which the developers have implemented in order to improve storytelling. According to GI, Borderland 2’s narrative is shaped around how you tackle a certain objective.

NPCs have also benefited from some tweaking, and as such will now converse with your character in a more interactive manner. Enemy AI has been spruced up, too.

Meanwhile, all firearms from the first game have been binned, with gamers now able to gain access to a whole new bunch of guns. One thing that is on its way back is the robot Claptrap, however.
Borderlands 2 is due out in 2012.

New info (from Gameranx.com) :

- Each manufacturer will have their own visual styling/theme. The purpose of this is to be able to easily identify a weapon's manufacturer and quality by simple looking at it. No manufacturers will have the same looking gun

- NPC's will be fully animated and move around their locations, interacting with objects within their locations

- Gearbox wants to make 4 seating standard on each vehicle

- Class mods and Artifacts will be returning

- BL2's skill tree will maintain the 3 Branch system and have more defined abilities rather than simple stat boosts. It is unknown how many skills will occupy each branch.

- 2 Gunzerker Skills were mentioned. One, increases the fire rate of any weapon the longer the trigger is held down. A second, while Dual-wielding, increases accuracy with same class weapons, or doubles damage for different class weapons.
