Gun scaling
Gun scaling in BL1 was terrible though?
uvhm mode sucked ass
?????? UVHM and the OP levels are great. What are you even on about?
Legendary world drop rate was almost non-existent
Not necessarily a bad thing. Getting random legendary drops early on made the game far too easy and you would roll through stuff. Legendaries are overkill for everything except end-game raid bosses.
They shifted legendary drops to bosses. So if you really wanted that legendary you could still get them.
Assault rifles were terrible
Better characters and skill trees.
Gun proficiency in BL1 sucked ass.
Auto-picking up ammo and cash
Better boss fights
More enemy diversity
More weapon diversity
gameplay definitely wasnt a straight improvement
Most people would say it was. There are some who don't agree but the general consensus is that BL2 was an improvement across the beard.
