Played online for the first time over the weekend and I saw a guy using some sort of gun that wiped absolutely everything out. Everything! He killed the Rakk Hive after about 5 shots.

What on earth was that gun?

Most of this information isn't necessary as part of your question. Maybe you should remove everything but the info on the gun you're trying to identify. – GnomeSlice Nov 4 '10 at 12:16

There are plenty of places for you to express your opinions on online gaming. This is the place where you can ask questions. – DJClayworth Nov 4 '10 at 13:43

@Mike Ultimately, this is a Q and A site, not a forum for opinions. While your discussion topics are interesting, this isn't the place for them. Here, they only serve to dilute the question itself. – sjohnston Nov 4 '10 at 13:51

I removed the portions of the question relating to how people behave online. We aren't a discussion forum and there's no benefit to having that information there. It detracts from actually getting real answers. However, I have left the shield in because while the gun is the main portion of the question, it happens that the shield is related. The subjectivity in addressing the gun and shield aren't to the degree of detracting from the Q&A material, I don't think, because the meat of the question is very direct.

Really, I want to insert the shield portion in the question body, too. It helps the context of the answer, as it's basically both about modded items. But I'm not sure how I want to phrase it. – Grace Note♦ Nov 4 '10 at 14:44

He was most likely using a modded gun. I generally play with a group of people I know, but if I ever go on xbox live with randoms, it seems like they always have modded weapons and shields.

What's modded? And how is it done? Newbie to nline gaming so I've only played the way it's come in the box. – RocketGoal Nov 4 '10 at 12:50
Just found out about modded. Shame that. But if it rocks their boat to be invincible. – RocketGoal Nov 4 '10 at 13:05
There isn't even any mention of the shield now. – Ullallulloo Nov 8 '10 at 17:42
@Ullallulloo Thanks. I removed that part of my answer since it doesn't really make sense anymore. – Quantumgeek Nov 8 '10 at 22:23
