  The movement and lack of tactical choices has me much less excited about BL2. I did thoroughly enjoy the BL1, but if the movement/lack of cover is the same as the first I'll be sad. I get sick of constantly walking/running backwards as the only means of dealing with enemies. That new Syndicate game has a pretty solid cover/movement system, so did RB6: Vegas 2, and the 3rd person system in that new Ghost Recon looks amazing. Now why the the fuck didn't Gearbox try to up the ante for BL2 by adding much needed movement/cover mechanics?
