This game could've been the best eSport ever

- GunZ: The Duel will ALWAYS be the game that meant the most to me. It was so ultra competitive, formed some of the best friendships of mine, and many lives, and should've been the greatest and biggest eSport of all time. In this video we cover the basics of the game, it's competitive scene over the years, and why it never exactly worked out for this game.
GunZ was created by MAIET in 2003/4 and was purchased by MasangSoft more recently. The game's IP isn't dead, but it's certainly on life support, it's very, very close to death.

Looking for the 2024 GunZ update? Newest video on this series here, it's an in-depth look at Clan Wars: czcams.com/video/MaL7YjszuTo/video.html
Are there any servers for noobs im getting fucking wrecked
@@e.n.d3238 join any training room on igunz, they’ll help you learn, and the GunZ discord also has a mentor role and a new player channel, even if you’re just returning they’ll get you back up to speed
@@KadaiGaming Thanks
thank you so much for bringing this back, this game really is such a lost memory :")
so you mentioned how double shotguns are the meta in the video, and that there are pay-to-compete items, Will these be balanced? like do you plan on trying to improve the game or just revive it and keep it the way it was? I never played before, but from what you described, I think updating the game to balance it would be cool and might allow for different combinations, or move sets to be used that weren't considered before due to the stagnant meta. that's just my opinion tho, I'll definitely try it out
Edit: Another thing that I think would be cool if you updated the game was if you could add skill based matchmaking
> Korean game
> PVP focus
> Buggy, but solid mechanics
> International release
> Goes pay to win
> Dies
A tale as old as time. The Korean devs never learn.
I miss S4 League :(
I was one of the top Lunia players on brazilian server,same happened with Lunia.
First the international servers closed,like Brazil,USA,Europe.
Then global closed,then Korea server and then the game finally died,nowdays just private servers exist I think.
ah yes gem/rumble fighter
Just like exteel 🥺
Plagued by cheaters..
"GunZ"
*sips milk*
"Havent heard that name for a long time."
What are you Kurt angle
My twin brother went nuts when I mentioned Gunz lol he loved that game so much
Lmao
@@k1llmoore580 Did Kurt Angle drink the milk in Stone Cold Steve Austin style?
‘Now thats a name I haven’t heard in an age’
If GunZ were an esport.
Actual keyboards' advertisement ll be like:
EXTRA resistant Shift and Space Bar key.
my space bar literally had a *melted* spot in the middle, that grinded away because of my abusive thumb.The shift key deserved the same fate iirc.
same@@Moonzik
I play a game where alt is a dash move. I have abused it so hard lmao
Titanium switches 😂
good time for a comeback considering magnetic switch is a thing again xd
Gunz was very special, I spent my highschool years playing it obessively. I remember at some point it was plagued with tons of cheat engines but even then if you were skilled enough you could just evade the cheaters
Please tell me you played Exteel as well. taht was also my highschool jam
The first rule of GunZ, we don't talk about GunZ 2.
Exactly!
Was it too hard for you? Or just too different?
@@MillieBunZ Basically GunZ2 took everything annoying in GunZ1 added on top of it, making it generic and then removed any enjoyable thing that we had in 1. There's a reason why 2 is already closed and we still got Pservers of GunZ running around.
OH YES
What GunZ 2?
Was there such a thing?
The guy who invented the Fortnite Double Pump ( Daequan ) talked about the reason he was so good at fortnite was because of GunZ, which he said was his favorite game of all time.
Daequan =(. My ign in valorant is based off of one of his running jokes
@@joshualee6932 c'mere boy?
I remember that interview so well. It was huge to see a GunZ player come up like Daequan :)
I learned about GunZ due to him
I share his sentiment of having Gunz as my #1 fav of all time.
It even beats out DMC3-DMC5 for crying out loud.
Started 6 months ago. Still practice almost daily and has a K.D of 0.17. The things players could do in this game are unmatched to any other game. I still argue daily with my friends at highschool, about how you can not name another game harder than gunz. Keep trying to revive gunz. Never give up. We can do it.
i think its happening i just searched up this game for tik tok
@@williamarcher8730 it’s about time this game has its deserved comeback…
no one cares dude
@@simoo1 i do.
@@simoo1 I do
Wow bro those were the days
I am from egypt me and my friends used to play guns all the time and always compete againest each other and we were literally sweating and our hand would hurt so much after a lot of intense battles and duels!
Those days were great and will always be deep in my heart.
can't imagine how a game can bring so much joyful memories.
Thanks for this video man :)
صباحو
I used to skip classes just to play this game at the local internet cafe, good times.
bruh same skipped classes to play gunz and metin2 in a fkin internet cafe thoght i was fkin alone XD
what about Dragon Nest?
YOOO RONG RONG. Used to watch you a ton when I used to play Dragon Nest. Sad that the game is kind of dead now... I miss it
aaaaa bring me baaaack
bruh .. i skipped my class before to also play in internet cafe and it turns out that my homeroom teacher knows where im playing then he actually came to that cafe just to say that he want to talk to my parents. good old days lmaoo
The developer's company is called Maiet. When reversed it will spell Teiam, which is a jab at the quote saying "There is no "i" in "team"".
I literally scrolled down JUST to find this comment lol! 🤣🤣🤣
This is my second time happening upon this video years difference. Probably 2 years or something from when it was uploaded and this legit brought so much warmth to my heart i love experiencing this through u and the early parts of the internet. Such a great video bud
This video brought so many good memories of me playing the whole night in the Brazilian server, a lot of friends I made during my time playing, and all the keyboards and mouses I've broken. Thank you for this video :)
For all the GunZ players out there, I miss you all.
I hope all of you are having a good life.
I miss you too.
Thank you bro I wish the best for you all too lol
We will k-style in heaven my friend.
im kicking ass in cod now lol
We miss you too dude, hopefully we will see each other again in the game, who knows ;(
its crazy to think everyone watching this video probably played with each other at one point or another back in the day
Facts. I wish this game was still around officially.
holy shit
I was only 6 but my bro always let me tried the game out, and I loved every moment of it and maybe one day it will come back
Lol sorry but this is the first time i've ever heard of this game
That's likely yes
Bro Kadai. Honestly thank you so much for the work you put into these two videos. Bringing that much more attention to this game that the true passionate players refuse to let die.
GunZ will be the last game I ever play, or at least until it's no longrr playable. I even got my 4 year old interested in the game! 😅
YOU are so DOPE for making this video! BROUGHT BACK SO MANY MEMORIES. K STYLE CHANGED EVERYTHING
All the movement names sounds like I'm listening about a martial arts book
This game is a martial art tbh
@@KadaiGaming Totally agree. Like how in martial arts you do stuff repetitively that it shows like if you were to punch a tree and over time it leaves an indentation. My keyboard WASD faded away and smooth whereas the remaining keys still had texture.
Historical martial artists were actually just navel-gazing neckbeards who'd've thought?
@@Idate can relate to this, my first keyboard lost all these 4 keys, like they popped out of the keyboard
@@lucasservat7806 oh man you remind me of back when i was playing crossfire on my laptop and i broke my wasd keys and had to play with the button caps just barely lying on top of the trigger it was soo annoying lmao the caps would just always fall off
When we have full body VR, I want to surf the skies with a sword and shotgun
Why wait for to do in VR when u can do irl 🤯😏🧐
We already have full body vr
no one wants to physically do that. playing vr competitive shooters is already exhausting to have to squat behind cover and constantly be tensed for 10 minute matches. also we already have it and it's not popular so. not much of a player base other than you.
sairentoVR my dude :) look it up. It isn't full body, but its pretty neat
@@terrorman21 everything is still in the early stages buddy
I was one of those players that just played for a bit and dipped-- I never knew about K-Style or any of the hype clan wars. But I have fond memories of playing this at sub-20fps on the family eMachine. This video was fantastic; I loved it to the core. Thank you!
Heard of this game from a friend, and decided to check what it was all about. Quite an incredible story behind the game, such a fascinating example of how a game is turned into something the devs never intended it to be by the players and just running along with it. Thanks for the video.
You know shit is good when an animation cancel it's called
*f o r b i d e n s t e p*
so trueee, they had the sickest names too
I still never learned how to do that one
I was thinking the same thing

Had a Korean friend in high school who showed us this game, this is bringing back so many memories. I'll never forget somebody in chat telling me "Put away your gun and fight me with a sword, like a man"
And did you put away your gun, who won that dual???
And then you butterfly him to death
@@Midnightcrawler5790 I NEED TO KNOW
No one, a guy with dual rocket launcher appeared and stole the kill.
Bruh🤣🤣🤣
Oh mate… excellent video!! Im Brazil we were crazyyyy about this game as well, such a good times! Thanks mate!!
Thanks for making a video showing the new generation of the skill ceiling that GunZ had, one of our childhood game.😊
This man has just summoned the entire GunZ community with such ease. private server owners punching the air rn lmao
let's bring it back!
@@DIN_NER A remaster with graphics, where the animation cancel is more smooth as if that was the intended stuff. Complete with unique indicators
Embrace K-style fully from the ground up, don't change interactions just make the animations fit.
Butterfly has an actual animation+color unique to it, DBF with more intense animation + mix of that color. TBF should have the most shiniest and even
Ditto to Half Step & Half Half Step.
I would fucking murder for that.
@@tyranidswarmlord9722 I never played GunZ but isn't the fact that none of the more complicated and cool looking mechanics were intended part of what made the game so charming?
@@leech8561 It is, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be improved upon of it ever gets remastered.
I tried playing this game a long time ago. I was one of the unfortunate souls to be new to the game. lol
Basically me on every fighting game before today
Same
Same, I remember feeling like the moves were too difficult and my friends with marginally better mechanics would always win against me.
I played Counter Strike Source and that was already challenging enough to learn. Gunz was way out of my league.
Yea if you didnt play this game back when it was super popular you would get trashed. I mostly used K-Style and had to learn how to wall fly, butterfly and all the hard stuff myself
Me too hahaha i couldn't ks anyone, but played with a knife in the mansion and wait on the stairs to the wine cellar, thry were too small to ks, so i knocked them down with a backstav and then would shoot them when they're in the ground hahaha
I just randomly came across this video and I was obsessed with Gunz: The Duel! Memories came flooding back.
Two years later i stumble across this video, GunZ was my childhood, me and my cousin would spend our summer vacations playing this together, it's such a happy memory!
I think i was one of the only weirdos who actually loved the quests, solo or coop, i was always hanging out in the quest rooms.
I still remember that prison level, so good.
The double pump that Daequan Loco was known for in his fortnight career did indeed start when he used to play this game.
Yeah he literally transferred that meta over to fortnite because he knew how good 2 shotguns could be
@@oinkoink1909 damn
I was watching this wondering if this is where Daequan got his mechanical skill. I remember him talking about some super hard obscure game he played. Hope that guy is good wherever he is, great streamer.
@@adameaszy7879 his illness came back... he can't seem to recover.
@@someblaqguy this sucks so much man i hope he get well soon
Marty is still online. That's true friendship
Thank you for unlocking my long forgotten memory of looking at Sparta on top of the clan wars leaderboards in awe, and right click launching people who didn't know how to recover into the abyss on the shoreline map in FFA.
I haven’t seen anything on gunz online since the last time I played it many many years ago. You just unlocked a core memory for me….. I miss this game so much now
Duuuuuuude K-style was life back in the day. Pressing 3,534 keys per second was my obsession.
Ye boiii. RSI game was real.
Bro I absolutely destroyed people LOL
I was obsessed by the hit sound...
yeah man it was so much fun. Unfortunate that the hit registration was absolute garbage, fighting with lag constantly. but still good memories
yes this.
I remember playing this game as a kid thinking that everyone was cheating, and although some people were cheating, most of them were actually using k-style
I tried to learn it back then and just gave up as my hands started to hurt. The base game was fun, but all the glitches people used made it awful in the end. And I'd bet a lot of people use macros instead of spamming 20 keys per second :-/
@@Vlyn nah, literally dozens of hours of practice. I can still recall the exact wall I used spending hours and hours trying to get the triple butterfly timing right. Biggest downfall was the lack of educational sources that exist today, like streams/proper youtubers.
@@Vlyn i was 17 at the time and played for about 2 months before, my little brother and sister tried. they were aged 10 and 11 and learned the basics of how to use k-style within 3 weeks and ran circles around me and kept on progressing onto half step, half k step, etc etc. all that crazy stuff. i could barely do anything and never progressed. it made me so frustrated 😂😂😂😂 they used no macros, no cheats, just pure gameplay. i can admit i just couldnt keep up with all the good players. they would slap the shit outta the cheaters too. on the flip side, i was super good at soldier front (another game hosted on ijji at the time) and it was my first uploads onto my channel which got like 20k views back in the day.
What's macros?
I was one of the quest mode cheaters, it was such a blast getting on a team of smurfs and using the loltastic hacks.
I never used it outside of private matches, because that could ruin people clan rating and win loss ratios.
i’m so glad you made this, me and my friend been trying to find the name of this for so long even had ppl telling us it wasnt real lol
I have been thinking about this video for nearly a year now, not being able to remember the name of the video or the game. Very happy it reappeared in my recommended
Thanks so much for this! GunZ will always have a special place in my heart ❤
All of us nerds that skipped school to play this game growing up got that special place reserved for GunZ. The fun was in learning and perfecting the techniques. Biology won't help someone tbf.
Yes bro
@@IndifferentDan Yes, mastering GunZ will definitely help you in your life.... maybe you can double jump and shoot people without learning CPR!
Tbh i miss gunZ alot
This shitt was the love of my life I can still remember when I first started learning double and triple butterfly and diggin into K-style, Half-step, etc it was amazing!
"It's called the butterfly" I got goosebumps for real. Man It's been a while since I played this. Good times.
bet i could log on and dbf right now lmao also fuck monk stylers :P
love the gameplay bro.. brings a lot of my childhood memories.
this game made me realize how competitive and technical video games can be. I remember spending hours jumping into a wall practicing the butterly, dbf, and some even did the tbf. I remember getting wrecked by people in the mansion hallway by skilled players bouncing from wall to wall doing rs w a shotty.
I have been chasing that competitive feeling in games ever since. So glad this video came across my feed!
If Gunz were an eSport, the arthritis thing would be no joke. I remember playing for so long my fingers and wrist would be screaming in pain, but it was so much fun I'd just keep playing. I had tension pain and a clicking noise in my wrist joint for a few years after the game shut down.
Now that you mention it, the clicking in my elbow could be related...
If GunZ were an eSport, it would've had the same problem as American football where the players would statistically suffer from concussions. There'll be a massive number of players with carpal tunnel syndrome after a while.
No joke. I would compare the APM of top-level GunZ play to Starcraft (though probably not as bad), and many SC/SC2 veterans suffer from repetitive strain injury and carpal tunnel syndrome
@@toyuyn Exactly. At what point do you raise the skill ceiling based on APM until it's not safe anymore? Because people are clearly motivated to go beyond being the world champion.
Almost like... tennis elbow? :/
I knew every term he spoke and every move he did. The sweating whilst playing is an Understatement. I remember having team matches that would last forever if everyone was good. Not only that after winning my hands and arms were always shaking...and that was the warm-up.
Sounds super intense, wish I could've played.
Thank for the info. Been looking for this game for years.
Lots of respect for this video.
It's like I feel a phantom ache on my left hand while watching this.
I was convinced this game was a fever dream until this video
Gunz used to be SO POPULAR in brazilian lan houses back in 2007/2008, there used to be fairly big competitions and pro play, i miss those days
I am Brazilian and I had a friend who was addicted to this game lol
Level Up tinha uns jogos massa antigamente hahaha
Gunz era enorme aqui. Também sinto falta dessa época
eu saia de casa escondido pra faze corjuao de the duel e cs

This game was a masterpiece. Many amazing nights playing this game with my friend as kids. The music brings peace to my soul. Absolute legendary game.
Man the music hits every time I hear it
Nothing else like it
Double pump on Fortnite was started by TSM Daequan who is also a former GunZ player.
now it make more sense! Thanks for adding this
Was looking for this comment the moment he mentioned double pump hahaha
thats crazy wow
Aven, Weida , Johan , Aaron, Jeremy , Eddie , Marcus , Wei kiat and Douglas if you ever see this i miss you guys and our time where we dominate gunz. Jonathan was here
I hope you guys meet eachother again and have a good button-smashing afternoon! :D
Would it be gay to Handy J old internet buddies?
Liking your comment in hopes they read this!
though I never played GunZ I knew about it from my son and his friends. It's funny that I have thought about it recently and wondered what became of it.
Thanks for the great video!
Just randomly remembered this game, spent many sweaty HOURS on it. This was a good hit of nostalgia. K-styling, the music, the stages etc, even the mention of Curse and Sparda clans. good times.
GunZ taught me that some games required literal practice to master. Learning to butterfly was so satisfying.
that butterfly
I never learned butterfly, rocket launchers for days
I never quite mastered it but was passable.
@@TuriGamer Don't worry we still have games like Monster Hunter or most of From Software's games. So at least games that require some form of thought are still around...As for the FPS genre I think it is done for. The few FPS games I know of that require forethought before engaging suffer from some serious balance issues due to there nature or are just too time consuming... I.E. Arma, Escape from tarkov, Squad, Hell Let loose, etc.
@@VereMyth bro doesnt play csgo 💀
Gunz was the pioneer of "Asians destroying you in a videogame"
I swear I still remember the haunting memories getting destroyed by a guy with a chinese IGN
I think you have confused Gunz with Starcraft, but my guess is you are not old enough to have gotten trashed in Starcraft.
@@EcnalKcin Never played the game but it was in the family computer, guess I just wasn't into RTS that much
@@tonkotsuramen8453 well StarCraft was the original esport, but only in Korea. They dominated all the tournaments years before Gunz existed.
The person(s) who created SHANGRI-LA FRONTIER definitely played this game
I remember back in time I went to a friend's house and saw a CD of this game, the CD cover looked really cool so I asked him about the game and he said the game was insane skill wise. I never played it but your video made me remember this memory from way back then. This is the first time I see the gameplay of the game and my god was my friend from that time right haha

I don't know how this came up in my feed but that was a shot of nostalgia straight to the vein for a 29-year old.
Me too friend me too
So true
Literally me. I woke up to this auto playing and it blew my mind
Good ol' times, shooting through Mansion corridors, going for the cellar to get the health pack, spending entire ammo in the head of a player that disconnected, thinking that you'd get the kill at some point...charging up dagger to knockdown the player and spray with uzi...
Kind of remind me of s4 league
Genuinely amazing video dude! I hope the game comes to steam.
I remember someone was outright hacking in a match flying around autofiring grenades, but they forgot to enable godmode so they were technically still killable just a lot of HP. Me and my pal out ran all their attacks, climbed a clock tower and yanked them out the sky. They got chain combo'd into oblivion and chased all over the map. The cheater sent us hate mail.
I was very bad at the game could only single butterfly and killed a hacker with that. was very fulfilling
The good old days of free to play games, maplestory, guns, warrock, soilder front
OMG I played ALL of those - what a time
Damn I played all of them
Oh crap warrock..
All of that and Crossfire

this just made me so nostalgic, im downloading it back rn. cant wait to play again
I just did the same
I'm 28 now and this video just brought back so much memories thx for that :)
Is no one gonna talk about the fact that GunZ had an incredible map called Dungeon which is literally exactly the place where Gandalf defeated Balrog in Lord of the Rings?!
This only clicked for me years later when I rewatched LOTR and realised hang on, didn't I practice K-style there? Lol
Ahhh I remember that!! I always thought that was the case, but didn't really know. Awesome map to butterfly on those broken stairs
There is also the castle map which is from LotR

Man this brought back so many memories. My friend and I used to play this whenever we got bored of Vanilla wow back in like 2006 or so. One of the guys we played with was INSANE with the sword and never used any guns. We also played a game which I believe was hosted by Ijji as well called Gunbound.
Vanilla WoW and this were our go-tos as well lol
I've never heard of you. I've never heard of this game. I'm not sure why I watched this. I'm glad I did.
Same. I’m in pre-production of an indie weapon fighter and this definitely gave me some inspiration.
You should try it. It's pretty great
It is great, but usually most of the time. We finger cramps the way we click the keys swiftly.
This was legendary. when butterfly technique was all over the place. I just accept death😂
Do you really never hear about Gunz?
The amount of skill you needed for this game was insane. Would be an e-sports hit if they brought it back with updated graphics.
Yeah man it should’ve been but just unlucky how it evolved.. people never even gave it a chance they judged it by its cover. The most skill based game i have ever played
Eh really? I never felt it was that crazy. Maybe there was more to it than kstyle?
@@MillieBunZ I remember learning KStyle then DStyle watch the KEWK video on CZcams ^_^
@@Silushun You mean KEUK? the dstyle video? O: best video :)
@@AndreGibsonBeatbox yes!! I actually tried searching it up after I wrote it thought they took it down. Thanks for the correction ^_^
I remember playing this game when it was first available in the US. There was literally nothing like it available at the time. I never got competitive but I do remember having fun.
whattttttttttttttttttt a video on gunz!? i'll never forget the key strokes for this game.
Bro the number of verified accounts of content creators of any kind in this video is crazy, it's like everyone played GunZ in the past at some point, this game needs to come back.
We all grew up on the same games :’) small world
Never heard of this...
oh yeah man this is crazy
this game should really comeback, the actually e-Sports scenery really needs a game thats a lot of player skill involved and GunZ is so unique that each player has your particular playstyle.
Imagine if someone buy this game, or the rights from the original game and make it famous and competitive. It would be f*** LEGENDARY to watch.
Maaaaan this takes me back. I was there for it all. Started playing because it gave me a Matrix vibes.
Discovered k style, mastered it. There were days I was unable to put weight on my wrists at school because of how fucked up from hours of Gunz they were.
I remember generating a fake Korean SSN so we could play KGunz, and playing Jgunz while waiting for NA gunz.
I was there for the swap to Ijji and NA gunz. Events, costumes, the full game, arenas that announced the win streak to the whole server, and called all the killers in.
The clan wars. I remember bodying Flower and holding the top spot for two months in Clan Twilight.
I wish I could find those people again.
That was a different time, thanks for this trip down memory lane.
We may not know eachothers names or faces.. but if you played this game in the mid 2000s then we've all played with eachother.
We're all older but still legendary.
Stay living strong y'all!
OMG I remember playing this game thanks to you. This was so crazy. 17 years ago.
Im 27 and can still remember the first day I started playing gunz at the age of 12 was such a fun game made a lot of friends
Me too i remember wall running on town lol
IM 31 and rember too play with my friend from school , old times :D !
I'm 30 and I'm still waiting for Masangsoft to release the steam version
im 29, man we are old :'(
I'm 25. Still hop on just keep the muscle memory
I've put over 10,000 hours into this game.. I've spent 10s of hours of my day for years sitting in town floating on a ledge slashing to a metronome so I could learn to TBF. GOD I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME!
settle down there buddy
@@sparrow_solas no he has to keep going . im rooting for him to become the best if the game ever gets released on steam .

This unlocked an old memory in me of playing this game. Like, the exact moment, time of year, time of day, in my cold, clammy attic room so long ago.
You're spot on with the intro. I was skipping so much school in 8th-11th, due to playing GunZ lol Atropos was a stacked clan. Instead of having competition, many of the best of the best decided to squad up, making them rank 1 very often. Everyone feared Flower more than them though. Atropos would have like 3k wins/600 losses in a month. Flower would have like 800 wins and 20 losses that month and be in the top 5 anyways.
My three buddies from iGunZ where in Ocean after the switch to ijji for like a month. When this guy talks about clan wars being competitive, he means it. Clan masters or admins would grill you in clan chat for losing, even if it was against a clan like Flower that they couldnt beat themselves anyways. Very great players would get kicked for losing which is why we left and made a low key clan and never gave a f about being top 10. We got to the 30s a few times as a clan of only 17 people though.
Any old players in the chat, I was XTempistX, rank 34 when I quit at 18 and went into the army. Hope you all have been living good lives and fighting the good fight still.
The worst pain known to man:
Getting carpal tunnel in a middle of a match and you have to keep going.
Oh my god I remember sitting in empty games just practicing slash shots. This game was unreal.
i was obsessed with learning tbf, still have videos of myself practicing it for months, eventually i got good at it and called a hacker -.-
@@ta_93 post the videos !!
So happy to see this game again
This game was awesome! This was one of the games people in my school found we could download to the school computers and play in class. Great times.
Loved Gunz back in the day.
Only the real ones know.
Great video.
Such an underrated game man I used to do the quests for items loot rocket launchers. I remember fighting bosses pvp all of it was so much fun.
The sound of the elevator havkeds moving around the corner to u
Ye bro, the fakes ones totally don't get us, the real ones.

You can already tell they would be the titans of any new games nowadays
Yeah I'm pretty cool
thank you
Fucking THANK YOU man. I K-Styled my way to victory back in the day with a revolver and a shotty
Well thank you!! But I can assure you i could NOT k style for the life of me.
Nice Video man, I loved this game!! I tried to play it now a days but i'm soooo rusty hahaha
Holy, this game brought back my childhood. It was so satisfying to learn their mechanics.
I loved seeing this in my recommended.
I actually think this is the first time I've ever had a Gunz video in my recommend to be honest lol.
Either way, great video!
lol same. was shookt after seeing this and immediately clicked on it xD
Hello Nicolai, Guy's Here
Same! Never happened before
Glad I wasn't the only 9 year old with arthritis playing this game
Have tried playing it when u were older? I tried and i felt old man hands jesaz christ
@@sletso1 ya i went back and tried a couple years ago after playing for the first 2 years of its release here im not sure how good i was in the grand scheme but i could butterfly and such going back i felt like i moved in slow motion lol this game is one of a kind.
Used to be a mod for GunZFactor back in the day, thanks for this video! Super nostalgia vibes! We all thought we were so good first learning to "k-style". Then the player named "Korean" showed us how it was done. I remember losing to him 6-2 haha
I wish we had gotten premium items in I-GunZ; splitting the market with NA GunZ was fun, but re-grinding 70+ levels sucked.
Thanks again for the awesome content!
I was a gzf admin for the last ~5 years of the site! What was your name?!
@@KadaiGaming originally, AKAlias but later I changed it to Vincent!
Haha that's awesome to meet another mod so long after the fun! Sure was a lot of great times!
@@XenKreigor I do remember the name! at the time you were modding I was getting my weekly bans for trolling LOL
Haha that's too funny! What was your old forum name?@@KadaiGaming
@@XenKreigor started as cheese, changed to kadai around 2009
This is pretty nostalgic seeing my old Sparta teammates in here (we spawned out of a diff clan "ocean" when IJJI was in its prime (late 07).
what a time to be alive...my wrists are still intact from the immense amount of APM this game required. idk how this ended up in my recommendations but oh hey youtube just knows huh.
You telling me it has been 15 years since I played this game? Holy Fuck, I'm old.
It feels like a lifetime ago for me
facts yo
the glory days. gunz, o2jam, gun bound, ragnarok online, etc
Maple Story.
Rakion!
MU, Rakion
Pretty sad to see all these games being lost in time. Those were my childhood.
@@togachan5081 we are the one lost in time , some of them are still on ...like ragnarok its on steam and free
GunZ was the epicenter of my childhood and taught me the inner workings of actually getting good at video games. Shoutout the Redsuns clan
So many fucking good memories from this game. In brazil, a company bought rights to host the game and it had a massive active user base, but it died fast.
Epic video thanks
This game left a hole in my heart that no other game could fill. It still hurts :(
What a game. I don't know how the youtube algorithm found this for me, the nostalgic this video gave me is unrivalled! Wall jumping, SS and butterfly have a place in my heart
Same! I had forgotten about this gem!
This sums up my thoughts perfectly.
Same here man. When my friend at the time introduced me to this game I fell in love. After about half hour my fingers felt like they were crooked lmao I remember this and even the relaxing sound track makes me miss this so much. Unfortunately I'm 28 now and can't put myself to play something so exhausting but this is a trip of nostalgia for real, bring back so many other childhood memories
the SS panzerdivision thanks you for your support
Jedi Knight 2: Outcast. It's this plus force powers
Holy shit, this left my mind for ages.
This is some real nostalgia
