It's far less solo friendly for PvP. It's more team oriented and focused on gun play instead of abilities. I hate it more than words can say. I was more of a PvP player on D1, so this was a bitter pill for me to swallow. I have no interest in playing PvP other than for satisfying certain quests. However, I've been playing PvE totally solo and I'm having fun. So far, it is pretty good. If you are a PvE player, then I think it's worth buying for that alone. I'm still early in the game, so I'm not sure how much replay value it has at this point. Being a heavy (formerly) PvP player, it automatically has less value for me.
