GunZ The Duel

[Shinzui]

Anyone else play this game? It's in open beta right now. You can check it out here: http://www.gunzonline.com/

I played this game a few months back, but stopped when school started. I felt like getting back into it again so I registered an account and I'm downloading it now. It's a really good game; it's an FPS where you level up and buy gear. If anyone else just started playing (or plans to) I'd love to play whenever, maybe even start a clan or something. :)

I tried to make it work, but my internet didn't agree with it. Something about running through a router... It seemed like a good game, though.

[moses]

ive been playing it a bit off an on.

Yeah, I played it before, and I think it's alright, because of all the fighting, weapons, etc.

But then I stopped playing it, because I get kinda bored easily. Overall, it's a good game. :D

i have a router =/

Most problems involving routers and internet games can be easily overcome. Quite often it is due to ports being blocked by the router. There was a website that told you how to modify the NAT on specific routers and it told you what ports you needed to allow. I can't remember what it is though. Oh and its a good idea to have UPNP (universal plug n play) enabled aswell - can't remember why though I think I read it somewhere.

I played it for a while... Didn't go further then lvl 14 or something like that.. I kinda got bored with it, and I hated lag. Realy frustrating to see that your hitting someone badass, but he/she's not going down because of lag..

I played that game when it first started open beta... like june or july last year. It was great in theory, but sorta laggy. Plus a bunch of jerks started finding exploitations and hacking it almost immediately (I was particularly sore about a nasty little knife hack). I played it a few months ago, and it was working really well. I loved running on walls and constantly deflecting bullets with a sword XD. They haven't really added much new content yet. I was hoping to finally see some helmets or something (they do have a head slot for equipment). I might start playing again when they add some content, it was a really great game.

Yeah, so true, often times I would just destroy someone, but in reality only one of my attacks made contact, all because of the lag. If they fixed lag somehow... I'd be more than happy to play it again, it was a very fun game.

One other thing that was dumb about it, was, well, the players. When the game first went into Beta, using a knock-down* strategy was praised and everyone thought it was fantastic, but when I rejoined the game a couple months later I was constantly flamed/booted if I knocked anyone down, it was pretty silly. I developed other ways of killing people though.

*For those unfamiliar with Gunz, a knock-down is an attack one is capable of doing with daggers that, well, knocks the enemy down, at which point many people would just fire away at the enemy on the ground. It's fairly simple to get out of the knock-down before hitting the floor, most people just didn't do it for some reason.

lmao... getting booted for secondary melee... i just kill the fool while they cant recover...

also gunz is really easy when you learn kstyle...

[Storm]

yeah was fun to get a kill on the stab - gun him down combo. Even more fun to dodge the stabber and empty your gun on him while he has a pause of movement (a short periode, couldn't empty a full clip, but in a few turns he/she was dead anyway). FPS rocks.

[Tomoshibi]

I think my favorite thing to do was to deflect bullets and run on walls at the same time. You get an immense sense of superiority doing stuff like that XD Its amazing how many people were either ignorant or unskilled enough to not shoot at your legs/feet when you used a sword O.o

[Slots]

no no get it right its much more fun to jump circles around them and QS'ing the crap out ofthem untill they die!! >.>

[moses]

i was the master of being able to just get the kill everytime. i dont wait or just ks i just always get extremely lucky and get the kills :D Some people are crazy flying around and stuff. i hate them :(

[Storm]

lol, I was a total uberstrafer.. thank god I have a rocksolid laptop, else I sure woulda brook my keyboard tapping so much :P

[Slots]

moses hates me :(
