I played a lot of Borderlands 2 back when it came out last year, great game. Play through a bit by yourself at first to get used to how the game works, but eventually finding a good group to team up with really helps. What I usually did was join in to other people's games until I found a few other players that were team players with mic's and were more apt to share loot they didn't need or collect things other members of the team could use. Let me know if you get hung up on anything, can always jump over and lend a hand.
