Worst news! But I knew it was a pipe dream. Gamespy should be bug #1 with Borderlands, but probably not worth the effort to resolve.
Gearbox Adding More Steamworks to Borderlands

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
I imagine that there's a number of reasons:
1) Rewriting a large chunk of code to change APIs
2) Retroactively requiring all users to switch to Steam
3) Dealing with headaches of Steam users trying to connect with unpatched clients.
4) Contractual obligation with Gamespy
Regardless, I'm going to be very surprised if BL2 isn't using Steamworks.
Oh great more 10 dollar content that is barely worth 5 dollars to begin with. Guess I will be waiting for the inevitable DLC pack sale.
Or just wait a few years and you can get the entire inevitable GOTY package in a 75% off sale like I did for BL:GOTY.

I wouldn't say awful, but about all it's for is the extra skill points
ClapTrap Revolution tho could have been better, much better.

Expected: KeKeKeKeKeZergRush!
Recieved: 2 Claptraps that stood there as I shot them from outside the doors :|
I was disappoint. Even MINAC was a letdown

Also you don't get any progression on your proficiencies or XP, so there's little reason to bother. I think that's the only DLC I grabbed on sale.
I should really re-install Borderlands... I don't even know why I ever stopped playing it
Yeah, DLC a secret. In this day and age
It's a fun game; I've been enjoying it a lot.

I've been soloing a lot lately, but using a memory tool to trick BL into thinking there's 4 people. Bit more of a challenge and get more/better loot
Also found a much easier way to sort through everything Craw drops. Dump my own inventory in some corner, grab everything he drops then go through the backpack. Toss unwanteds over the edge

I think I tried it a twice and got to four rounds and then got hammered and gave up. It ends up being a bit of a sniper spamfest.
The questing in the game is great. Some of the locations would be good for co-op; Old Haven for example.
I bought it on sale recently with all the DLC. I feel I have gotten my money's worth out of the game play. It's a fun boot and shoot.

Old Haven is one of the best areas in the game, both in the base game fighting Crimson Lance and fighting CL Zombies in The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned. That close range, street-to-street fighting mixed with rooftop snipers and some open areas covered by turrets is just fantastic.
