Gunz: The Duel (Gen Discussion) - Blizzard Sector

**jedimaster86** · 04-09-2006, 06:56 PM

Hey all, here feel free to talk generally about this online strategical FPS (whatever genre you want to give it) game, Gunz: The Duel. You can talk about how you like it, or feel free to share your level(s). One thing though,

DO NOT DISCUSS HACKS!!

Any talk about hacks and you will get warned. Anyways, I'll let people start talking about the game

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A friend talked me into playing it, so I started out yesterday with a character with dual Renards and such (I forget which one it was, the Gun Fighter perhaps?) I am level 8 (my characters name is Etown), and slowly seeing if I can learn any of the moves; however i don't really know any of them yet and I'm just messing around mostly and just dashing and blocking. I am not sure if I am better with a blade or guns, I know yesterday when I was playing with my friends sometimes we would play "only blades" or whatever to work on that.

Wow, I have never heard of this game... Could someone give me a quick 1st hand review please?

**Bartender** · 04-09-2006, 08:01 PM

It's not really fun, very linear, you can't crouch or jump(maybe you can jump but not crouch) you but guns and clothes. It's like a fps/rpg.

**jedimaster86** · 04-09-2006, 08:39 PM

Like I said, I only started yesterday so I don't know too much but....
I'll start by saying you can look at the player guide at http://www.gunzonline.com/ for info.

Basically, this game is totally PvP and you just fight against other people. Your weapons....guns and swords (and grenades). It has a 3rd person view FPS perspective in that your objective is to kill the other guys with your weaponry in hand. Like stated above, it also has a RPGish perspective in that you assume the role of this character, and when you kill somebody you gain experience. Once you get enough experience.....guess it......you level! I know at least you get gold (or bounty) with gaining expereince/leveling, and I think you can get certain better items with your bounty and based on level (so like level 10 for a better sword or something).

The game itself is a pretty strategical one and you will probably need some skill in order to play it effectively. When you start a new character you can pick one of different "classes" if you wanna call them that; for example someone like a gun figher or whatever will have more focus on his guns and may have better guns, there is some kind of priest player that has healing packs, and there is also a scout that has smoke grenades and can be quite stealthy. There are other classes but you can investigate them yourself. There are several modes of gameplay, such as Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and I actually forget the other modes but they should be ones you have seen in previous FPS. In-game, the system uses a WASD-keyboard configuration to move around, with the mouse to look around and other keys such as SHIFT to block (only with sword, not guns) and space bar to jump. There are combinations of keys you can use to do some cool tricks (which I don't really know so I can't tell ya).

Overall, I could tell ya more, but I'll just let ya try it out yourself if you like the stuff you see on the website. Many players say they like the game, and probably an equal number say they don't. The only thing I should say is don't base your decision as to like it or not towards the game just because you may be a new player and see some really good players online, 'cause I know that's what I did the first day, but hey, I'm still playing it on the second day so it's not a bad game. I guess I'd give it a 7.5/10 or so, pretty good game.

**Bloodangel26** · 04-09-2006, 08:50 PM

p2p or free online?

EDIT: nevermind i found its free online...dont see how much the actual game costs?

EDIT AGAIN: nevermind again, looks like its completely free, just have to download it

**Aemaeth** · 04-09-2006, 09:13 PM

I wasn't aware the game was back, its been down for quite some time after several issues with hackers.

**Dan** · 04-09-2006, 09:15 PM

i'll have to give it a try

**wm_hunter** · 04-09-2006, 09:20 PM

GunZ is very fun. If you want I can send you an install that is already 99% torrented... (it is the one from fileplanet (GunzInternational_20060222f.exe), downloading from the main site takes a very long time to torrent the update.

I'm level 30, name = WMHunter. Gimme a shout.

**Aemaeth** · 04-09-2006, 09:58 PM

I remember when i used to play, I'd just learnt how to SS and butterfly when i stopped, Now im going to have to learn all over again.

Righty, ive started playing again.

DO NOT DISABLE YOUR ANTI-VIRUS

If there is an issue with your AV blocking GunZ, you should be able to allow the program (unless your AV sucks).

Never, ever, EVER disable your AntiVirus when you are connected to the internet!
