Borderlands:Furious 4

Borderlands:Furious 4 was the fourth game in the Borderlands series in the U-986 Timeline. Developed by Gearbox and published by NSG for the Bluecube SSD. The game was controversial for instead of being set on Pandora, was instead an Inglorious Basterds style game called Furious Four, after another major controversy involving Randy Pitchford, Michael Condrey, the developer of Activision's WWII, the equivalent to COD WWII in U-986, was called to replace Pitchford as the CEO of Gearbox, henceforth taking Borderlands in a Different Direction. And decided to revive an old IP based on Brothers In Arms.

The game had 2.5 Billion guns compared to Borderlands 3's 1 Billion, and featured a mixture of Nazi Zombies, Wunderwaffes and Nazi Enemies in an alternative history inspired by Wolfenstein.

The games weapons included fictional manufacturers as well as Wunderwaffe Weapons like in COD Zombies.

The plot is a WWII-Retelling of the Borderlands 2 story, this story's version Handsome Jack is revealed to have been a POW driven insane by Nazi Forces, similar to COD Ghosts. And he takes over Italy and wants revenge on Hitler, meanwhile, the games secondary villain, Dr Ned, Is doing inhumane experiments in Germany.

The game also reintroduced the Badass Rank after criticism of the Guardian Rank in Borderlands 3. And the Level Cap of the game is 70.

The games intro is Marcus Kincaid saying "So you want to hear a story huh? A Story that goes way back in time to the pre-Pandora days? Well guess what, I'm telling you anyway, The first ever vault hunters were on a planet called Earth, and they were called the Furious Four". The Intro then rolls and Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits plays. A later Dire Straits easter egg in the game features Salvador as one of the guys in "Money for Nothing" music video. Claptrap makes a guest appearance as a Doctor Who reference to the Ironsides, the Dalek WWII Disguise.

The game was well received by critics who said it was a return to form for the series, the public was more mixed however, with most members saying they missed Pandora. There were also some controversial elements in the game. But apart from that it was amazing. With some even calling it the best WWII Game ever.
