    GunZ is still around? I played that game back in the day. I remember the skill curve being somewhat vertical…

      It lives on at Fgunz.net and I think there are some others. Skill curve the same, maybe more difficult because ppl are so good (not me).

        So it’s probably pointless for a silver tier player like me to give the game a try then, huh?

          It’s a fun game, and the movement system was not actually that hard to learn.

          But the upper level players are all doing animation interrupts to put out crazy combos for much faster movement and attacks.

          A beginner will learn these interrupts just by playing an hour or so, but chaining them? That takes skill and dedication beyond the norm.

          I do remember winning the occasional match, but it was rare. Overall it was a fun game.

            Okay yeah you’ve talked me out of it. I don’t want to play a game where you have to break/exploit the mechanics in order to compete. Thanks for the info.

          I would say just try it. If you can master slash shot - jump slash switch to gun shoot - you can fight with guns. And sword you just need butterfly to be able to fight. I saw further down that you dont like that it is about glitches. But this is emergent gameplay. The devs never intended to create a game like this, but the players made it into our own thing by discovering all the glitches.

          Edit. Even with out that there are so many guns and ways to play. I know some people who run around in gun games using only the dagger. Some people with a stun grenade and flamethrower, just press 2 buttons and the enemy vanishes without any glitches.
