By the way Ivan is THE best character for PvP. He's supposed to be the sniper, but his melee has the largest range and the largest AoE. AND his ultimate ability allows him to one-shot people.

Rena is the character I'm using atm. She's supposed to be a CQC fighter but in PvP it's way too easy to get stun-locked (you get stunned when you're dealt melee most of the time) with a bunch of people running around. She's probably the best 1v1 with her shadow clone and dash abilities, though. The funny thing is, once you get the best item with damage over time and insane critical chance, you can one-shot entire groups of people with a single regular melee combo.

Campaign is really easy with multiple Elenas but she's meh in PvP. You die really easily to the OP Melee characters.

Max just sucks. You can barely "k-style (not actually the k-styling you remember, but you can still do some animation cancelling and it helps with being mobile)" with him but it's fun as shit to watch people die from being on fire.

Know what would be great to present a game? Screenshots, a trailer of the thing in motion, and a mention of the game being region restricted, kicking europe out of the picture right off the bat.

OH yea I forgo to mention that.

The Steam version is NORTH AMERICA ONLY.

Europeans players can get a separate account and download the client at their site: www.gunz2.co.uk/ (the link is here but for some reason it's not showing up. Google "gunz 2" and it's the .co.uk link)

Possibly the most realistic video of your first moments:

I really enjoyed the first game, and was kind of hoping Warframe would be similar (which in a lot of ways it is). I had many a good match in that mansion level and loved the co-op PvE mode they introduced later.

Jesus, this was called The duel here. My life is a lie.

All I remember from GunZ was shanking people as a fuckin' wall because glitches galore.

Then again though, that was almost nine years back.

Yea we used to frag each other on the library computers. Shit was great. Ok after a couple days of playing here's what I found about animation cancelling:

K-style in the traditional sense doesn't exist anymore as it's impossible to dash, jump, block and shank people at the same time with very minimal time between blocks to render yourself pretty much unkillable, but a skilled player will be rewarded if they can time their blocks, melees and cancels well.

"Wallrunning" is an actual mechanic now you jump while running into walls and you run on them. Something interesting happened because of this though: Ivan and Rena (I've never seen a Max or Elena do this) are actually fast enough to wallrun, jump off, cancel then dash back. This makes it so that you pretty much are able to fly, block, shoot and generally jump around at insane speed while anywhere near vertical terrain, which is pretty much ALL OF ABANDONED MANSION. I heard it's called "wallposting"?

Also Elena can cancel her noob tube reload by changing weapons to shoot REALLY FUCKING FAST.

There's also other broken shit that you might want to learn like "cutdashing" (what I call it). Basically with this you can dash without hitting the direction key twice and you do a melee strike which is really useful. People call it "butterfly" but it's not the butterfly you remember. Your shield is down about half the time but it's a really useful technique for kiting and evasion while being able to deal some damage.

I remember when GunZ was out...and not much else about it as I didn't play haha maybe I'll try it this time.

Play it. It's really fun :v

I got to lv 20 on Rena!

Starting to grind an Ivan. Saving up ore and crystal to hit the roulette for lightning weapons like a million times when they nerf other characters and Rena is actually not shit again.
