Back in my
review of Borderlands, I had a huge complaint against the state of multiplayer on the PC. It just didn't work and for a game I purchased with multiplayer in mind, it was disappointing. News came down today that its fixed:
Multiplayer connectivity has been improved; users should no longer be required to forward ports to host or join multiplayer games. (source)
After reading this, I immediately jumped into my
Linksys router's
settings and dumped all of my port forwards. I jumped in the game and I was able to join the first game I tried without a problem. Its amazing what a simple change can do. I am feeling a little Borderlands action in my future (I haven't completed playthru 2 yet).
