GunZ is coming to Steam! I edited this Sept 30 2024, as that's when we finally got some news. This may be a successful revival! Here's my video on the news
@@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
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 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.
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.
@@phongdinh199 bruh.. Dragon Nest.. it was my time sinkhole during uni. Great PvP mechanics, until they ruined it with the newer classes and level cap increase.
@@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.
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!
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"
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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
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
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
@@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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
@@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.
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?!
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...
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.
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!
Absolutely massive respect to you for making such a good video. Everything is accurate and super well made. This man has seen the game in its greatness and true beauty. I played it 15+ years ago but will never forget my time in GunZ. The single most demanding mechanically game ever. The Adrenaline and ball sweat cannot be compared to anything. No game will yet has been hold a candle to this combat. I really hope GunZ is revived in its true glory. What a great video and run down memory lane, the nostalgia is huge. Much love.
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.
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.
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.
I remember binding my block key to F to butterfly more efficiently. The nonstop butterfly technique is still hardwired into my brain, 20 years later lmao WWF AAF SSF DDF WWA SSF DDF
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
I felt nostalgic and searched GunZ and it didnt disappoint me honestly this game has so much potential and its sad that it just died out due to poor management, it took me exactly 1 year to master butterfly and I was in euphoria to finally be able to play "normally" . fun times.. wish someone would pick the game up and revive it.
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.
I remember being in middle school with my brother, playing this in like 2005... Very first all-nighters me and him pulled were learning KStyle. Joined up with some clans. Was such a legendary game that was widely slept upon. Ijji also didn't do any favours, taking fun IPs (GunZ, Gunster: Rain of Bullets, and Gunbound) and making em pay to win.
When I was in middleschool KStyle got so popular even community made up some different type of game modes. I remember i used to play a lot ATKnDEF lobbies. 1 round attack 1 round defence. At least this was a thing in Europe :) not sure u guys had it in US servers
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 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
Oh, and you forgot to mention that some lunatics ran 2 sets of double revolvers instead of the shotguns because they could hit people with the dot reticle while flying at these speeds.
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!
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.
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!
man, this game was THE SHIT back in my middle school days. i played this on ijji with my classmates and we were having so much fun together. when we first started, we were doing those generic moves and spraying, like a typical third person shooter and how the game wants you to play. but when we found out and learned about the kstyle, our gameplay escalated to a whole new level. i remember the ijji version had a level 50 sword called the golden dragon sword, which very few people had since leveling up was hard and money didnt come by easily. when we finally reached 50 and bought that sword, man you can just feel that sense of achievement and satisfaction. i had to change my keyboard 7 times playing this game, no other game to this day requires that amount of skill level compared to gunz, truly a legendary masterpiece of its time.
Not being young enough to play this game is probably the best thing that ever happened to your hands. I quit cause I quickly realized where my hands were headed if I kept playing. Granted I used to spend like 15 hours straight going at 100%, but just remembering how bad my hands and fingers hurt back then is literally triggering a random phantom pain as we speak lol.
@@Sebsemzs I quit EVE online for this exact reason. 15 hours a day doing any one thing will ruin all those little joints fast. Some video games are just captivating enough to keep people playing that long, unlike basically anything else, I'm not about to widdle or draw for 15 hours.
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.
Hi, I'm from Latin America, more precisely from Brazil. Here in Brazil, GUNZ became popular from 2005 to 2011. The official server we had in Brazil was hosted by the game's distributor, Level Up Games. I remember having 4 servers with 4 thousand people simultaneously playing at the same time. It sucks to see youtube recommending me a video of gunz after years. Thanks for the video, brother! Greetings from brazilian gunz players!
What made me quit it was the internet connection at the time. And the family pc was pure trash… I could only play ragnarok and gunbound with that cable internet 😂
@@lincolndacostaeloyjunior9261 Same here bro, lol. At the time the PC and the internet connection was so trashy that i abandoned Gunz and dive right into ragnarok and became a crackhead on that shit lol
@@lincolndacostaeloyjunior9261 I remember there was a lot of hackers, or maybe highly pro people so I would only play the coop mode because multiplayer was impossible but still fun!, I loved that coop mode where you had to kill goblins lol
Também fui jogador de TheDuel e vi a morte desse jogo de perto e a LevelUp simplesmente ignorando tudo. No fim, era comum ver uma sala com 8-10 Hackers e tinha hack de tudo, o cúmulo do absurdo foi ver um hack que dava DC( disconnect ) na sala inteira e era extremamente simples instalar esses hackers... TheDuel é um jogo que precisava ser reformulado, um remake gráfico, retirar o p2w e relançar como um e-Sport.
@@lambretaenvenenada5483 Não da pra levar a culpa apenas pra distribuidora do produto, quando são os Devs que fornecem os updates pra que sejam lançados ou corrigidos e como deu pra ver a realidade dos Hacks nunca foi só do servidor brasileiro
OHHH IT'S THIS. I had a buddy a few years ago who, whenever e-sports would come up in conversation, would bring GunZ up and make all the same arguments. I'd never played it before and still haven't, but man, if this got re-released I'd be all over it.
Really glad TH-cam recommended your video to me. Int'l player here back when it was active. This was my first competitive shooter and the one who changed my perspective. Originally I am a CS player back then, I joined locals here at my place but when this came out, I was immediately hooked. Fast paced, High adrenaline type of plays. Skill ceiling as you mentioned, is through the roof. Literally took me weeks to adjust. And coming from CS, it was not easy. From SS to Butterfly, to Double Shot to Forbidden, everything is so intense. I am with you if this ever becomes a thing again. The player base for sure will be niche, as the barrier of entry will be so high, but I believe with proper marketing and good management, this game can succeed. Kudos to you my friend and Thank you for bringing light to a game we all love.
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
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.
Pretty sure this was my first experience being competitive in an online game. I remember practicing my k-style so much, mastering the butterfly step, learning to bring out the shotguns while you butterflied. I also remember the scumlords who would disconnect their internet to not get a loss on their profile when you were winning against them, and I remember the jackasses who would somehow spike their ping to make themselves impossible to hit because their ping would spike to like 900ms so you'd have to just fire wildly to try and guess where they'd be in 9 seconds.... Regardless, I fucking loved this game. I was enraptured by The Matrix around the same time GunZ started catching on, and I saw the wallrunning and tumbling and thought it was the coolest thing ever, downloaded it immediately and got hooked when I realized the depth of it. Legit, nothing comes close to the impeccable timing and coordination you needed to be good at k-styling. And it all came from some goofy unintended glitches that made for an incredibly unique experience. Such a stroke of accidental genius. I hope somebody can replicate this style of gameplay someday in a modern game.
@@OlGurtyBSTRD Enemy Territory is still alive. The official client is now on Steam, though I recommend ET: Legacy client instead since it's consistently updated by the community to fix bugs and bring QoL improvements.
I was just scrolling in my home feed then I stumbled upon this video. I played Elite Gunz way back in 2010(I was 11) and I can vividly remember how fun it was to play. I knew butterfly moves (there were these double and triple versions where you make 2-3 slashes) I remember how competitive it was whenever your level was around the 50+ too. It was indeed a sweaty and fun competitive multiplayer game. Ngl, I didn't research much about the game. What I can only recall is I boot up the computer and just join any lobbies and play lol. I definitely agree that this game could be the best eSport if it didn't die. Thanks a lot for this video, this really hit nostalgia in me.
This was the best game ever made. Played this for 9 years, which was a long time ago... I've played all kind of games and never seen anything like it before. Unfortunately the game wasn't extremely popular, it had potential to be one of the best E-sports games of all time.
@@danielvandenhoek6879 The dynamic swordplay, the crazy gunplay, the crazy fluid movement. Most games struggle to do even one of those things well! GunZ had all three in spades!
I remember when everyone started macroing k-style. There was a plague of bootleg k-stylers with no control constantly throwing themselves off ledges for a time.
that was me. EXCEPT I was a little baby programmer and I started because my hands hurt lmao. I spent HOURS making elaborate macros with shift and tab and space modifiers to try and make it fluid.
Grinded to colonel on soldier front without using 2x. Skipped so many classes to play it day and night and was so lucky with perm weapons (re-skin) from free boxes on the Asia server. Probably was what kept me going and playing as a sniper was unstoppable. The uzi was also deadly for me and my favourite to use other than a psg.
I actually learned the butterfly technique in the arena level you were practicing on! Someone was kind enough to teach me via chat after mopping the floor with me and I was immediately hooked. I spent so many hours playing and trying to master it and I'm so glad this video showed up on my feed, thank you and Gunz Memories for the nostalgia!
My dad used to own a cybercafe even before I was born. Me and my friends, including my best friend, used to all play gunz all day, everyday, non stop, for YEARS. We were decent. This brought SO, SO MANY memories. Thank you so much. I really miss those days, and this game.
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
there was actually gunz 2 and it had pretty nice graphics but i guess it didnt work so well, i tried the beta but couldnt tell if it was good or bad couse i was bad
This game and MapleStory were the two games that I played obsessively in highschool. I remember watching K style butterfly tutorials on TH-cam for hours trying to learn the mechanics. Good times
watching this video unlocked muscle memory in my hands that i forgot i had. I think I'm a year younger than you and i can't believe how invested 12 year old me was in this. such good times. Thank you for the trip down memory lane!
This video brings back so many memories!! It was introduced to me by a friend in school when I was 11 or 12. We played GunZ from when ijji took over until its death. I played so much that I mastered the double shotgun butterfly, half step etc. The skill and difficulty needed to survive in game against other pro players is nothing like any game ive come across. If you saw another player as good as you, it was respectful the thing to bow before fighting 😂

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
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.
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.
Bunny hopping in Paris Olympic Fencing brought the game back to my mind. I'm like "Hey that reminds me of GunZ..."
Marty is still online. That's true friendship
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? :/
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.
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!
dominate gunz? thats crazy statement my boy
"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
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 just randomly came across this video and I was obsessed with Gunz: The Duel! Memories came flooding back.
I was convinced this game was a fever dream until this video
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 💀
Double pump on Fortnite was started by TSM Daequan who is also a former GunZ player.

Was looking for this comment the moment he mentioned double pump hahaha
thats crazy wow
Everyone Can remember the day they first learned K-style! I was in the city map
You and everyone. Walking while trying to learn reload shot lmao
Fax
Town?
Butterfly shotgun slash was so beautiful
@@RyokoInk slashshot*!
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
@@akaiendo7312 Cool! I didn't know that haha

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
corujao com 30 pessoas, no maximo 8 era pagante
famoso The Duel
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
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!
Absolutely massive respect to you for making such a good video. Everything is accurate and super well made. This man has seen the game in its greatness and true beauty.
I played it 15+ years ago but will never forget my time in GunZ. The single most demanding mechanically game ever. The Adrenaline and ball sweat cannot be compared to anything.
No game will yet has been hold a candle to this combat. I really hope GunZ is revived in its true glory. What a great video and run down memory lane, the nostalgia is huge. Much love.
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.
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?
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.
I remember binding my block key to F to butterfly more efficiently. The nonstop butterfly technique is still hardwired into my brain, 20 years later lmao

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 TH-cam ^_^
@@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 felt nostalgic and searched GunZ and it didnt disappoint me honestly this game has so much potential and its sad that it just died out due to poor management, it took me exactly 1 year to master butterfly and I was in euphoria to finally be able to play "normally" . fun times.. wish someone would pick the game up and revive it.
Oh my god I remember sitting in empty games just practicing slash shots. This game was unreal.
@T A post the videos !!
Who here remembers attack and defense rooms. They were so intense

Still happening to this day on universegamers gunz ive been playing recently
@@KaiserReb And you had to bow lol
@@curio5220 the bow thing was epic
On attack, I could never stay off their base's floor... Lol mansion was crazy.
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.
I remember being in middle school with my brother, playing this in like 2005... Very first all-nighters me and him pulled were learning KStyle. Joined up with some clans. Was such a legendary game that was widely slept upon. Ijji also didn't do any favours, taking fun IPs (GunZ, Gunster: Rain of Bullets, and Gunbound) and making em pay to win.
When I was in middleschool KStyle got so popular even community made up some different type of game modes. I remember i used to play a lot ATKnDEF lobbies. 1 round attack 1 round defence. At least this was a thing in Europe :) not sure u guys had it in US servers
The worst pain known to man:
Getting carpal tunnel in a middle of a match and you have to keep going.
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

Went from butterfly to saying double butterfly is impossible to triple butterfly 😂😂😂 brings back memory.
Oh, and you forgot to mention that some lunatics ran 2 sets of double revolvers instead of the shotguns because they could hit people with the dot reticle while flying at these speeds.

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
man, this game was THE SHIT back in my middle school days. i played this on ijji with my classmates and we were having so much fun together. when we first started, we were doing those generic moves and spraying, like a typical third person shooter and how the game wants you to play. but when we found out and learned about the kstyle, our gameplay escalated to a whole new level. i remember the ijji version had a level 50 sword called the golden dragon sword, which very few people had since leveling up was hard and money didnt come by easily. when we finally reached 50 and bought that sword, man you can just feel that sense of achievement and satisfaction. i had to change my keyboard 7 times playing this game, no other game to this day requires that amount of skill level compared to gunz, truly a legendary masterpiece of its time.
This game left a hole in my heart that no other game could fill. It still hurts :(
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
im too young for this, i want to know how it feels to play games back then
Not being young enough to play this game is probably the best thing that ever happened to your hands. I quit cause I quickly realized where my hands were headed if I kept playing. Granted I used to spend like 15 hours straight going at 100%, but just remembering how bad my hands and fingers hurt back then is literally triggering a random phantom pain as we speak lol.
@@Sebsemzs I quit EVE online for this exact reason. 15 hours a day doing any one thing will ruin all those little joints fast. Some video games are just captivating enough to keep people playing that long, unlike basically anything else, I'm not about to widdle or draw for 15 hours.
dialup and blaming lag.
@@Sebsemzs agree now i got carpal tunnel cause of it
Online games pre-2010 are the best. Not by graphics but gameplay.
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.
Hi, I'm from Latin America, more precisely from Brazil. Here in Brazil, GUNZ became popular from 2005 to 2011. The official server we had in Brazil was hosted by the game's distributor, Level Up Games. I remember having 4 servers with 4 thousand people simultaneously playing at the same time. It sucks to see youtube recommending me a video of gunz after years. Thanks for the video, brother! Greetings from brazilian gunz players!
What made me quit it was the internet connection at the time. And the family pc was pure trash… I could only play ragnarok and gunbound with that cable internet 😂
@@lincolndacostaeloyjunior9261 Same here bro, lol. At the time the PC and the internet connection was so trashy that i abandoned Gunz and dive right into ragnarok and became a crackhead on that shit lol
@@lincolndacostaeloyjunior9261 I remember there was a lot of hackers, or maybe highly pro people so I would only play the coop mode because multiplayer was impossible but still fun!, I loved that coop mode where you had to kill goblins lol
Também fui jogador de TheDuel e vi a morte desse jogo de perto e a LevelUp simplesmente ignorando tudo. No fim, era comum ver uma sala com 8-10 Hackers e tinha hack de tudo, o cúmulo do absurdo foi ver um hack que dava DC( disconnect ) na sala inteira e era extremamente simples instalar esses hackers... TheDuel é um jogo que precisava ser reformulado, um remake gráfico, retirar o p2w e relançar como um e-Sport.
@@lambretaenvenenada5483 Não da pra levar a culpa apenas pra distribuidora do produto, quando são os Devs que fornecem os updates pra que sejam lançados ou corrigidos e como deu pra ver a realidade dos Hacks nunca foi só do servidor brasileiro
Ahh yes, the origin of my carpal tunnel syndrome. Good ol days.
OHHH IT'S THIS. I had a buddy a few years ago who, whenever e-sports would come up in conversation, would bring GunZ up and make all the same arguments. I'd never played it before and still haven't, but man, if this got re-released I'd be all over it.
Really glad TH-cam recommended your video to me. Int'l player here back when it was active. This was my first competitive shooter and the one who changed my perspective. Originally I am a CS player back then, I joined locals here at my place but when this came out, I was immediately hooked. Fast paced, High adrenaline type of plays. Skill ceiling as you mentioned, is through the roof. Literally took me weeks to adjust. And coming from CS, it was not easy. From SS to Butterfly, to Double Shot to Forbidden, everything is so intense.
I am with you if this ever becomes a thing again. The player base for sure will be niche, as the barrier of entry will be so high, but I believe with proper marketing and good management, this game can succeed. Kudos to you my friend and Thank you for bringing light to a game we all love.

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
It was jr high for me
Late 2005 into early 2009
I loved Gunz
nah, specially those rocket cheater and you cant see them. The missile will pop up anywhere.
cheating was so easy, you could just open wpe pro and block outgoing packets and you would stop moving on the map

The moment you said "K-Style" my heart was whisked back to being in my preteens sweating my face off with this game. What a great succinct video.
Ah yess. I remember actually trying to learn what we called back then a “triple butterfly” instead of doing my homework and projects.
That's why I'm bad at math to this day... I don't regret it.
Man i could only ever get the double butterfly down no matter how much i tryed
When I had quit I’ve mastered triple butterfly and learning quadruple butterfly man I felt so cool back then. 😭
K-Style... i thought i'd never hear that term again...
**WHEEZES**
*I DIDNT PREPARE MYSELF TO RELIVE THIS TRAUMA*
Pretty sure this was my first experience being competitive in an online game. I remember practicing my k-style so much, mastering the butterfly step, learning to bring out the shotguns while you butterflied. I also remember the scumlords who would disconnect their internet to not get a loss on their profile when you were winning against them, and I remember the jackasses who would somehow spike their ping to make themselves impossible to hit because their ping would spike to like 900ms so you'd have to just fire wildly to try and guess where they'd be in 9 seconds.... Regardless, I fucking loved this game. I was enraptured by The Matrix around the same time GunZ started catching on, and I saw the wallrunning and tumbling and thought it was the coolest thing ever, downloaded it immediately and got hooked when I realized the depth of it. Legit, nothing comes close to the impeccable timing and coordination you needed to be good at k-styling. And it all came from some goofy unintended glitches that made for an incredibly unique experience. Such a stroke of accidental genius. I hope somebody can replicate this style of gameplay someday in a modern game.
This and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory we’re mine
We're working on it !
its amusing how dstyle is absolutely forgotten
@@OlGurtyBSTRD Enemy Territory is still alive. The official client is now on Steam, though I recommend ET: Legacy client instead since it's consistently updated by the community to fix bugs and bring QoL improvements.
I was just scrolling in my home feed then I stumbled upon this video. I played Elite Gunz way back in 2010(I was 11) and I can vividly remember how fun it was to play. I knew butterfly moves (there were these double and triple versions where you make 2-3 slashes) I remember how competitive it was whenever your level was around the 50+ too. It was indeed a sweaty and fun competitive multiplayer game. Ngl, I didn't research much about the game. What I can only recall is I boot up the computer and just join any lobbies and play lol. I definitely agree that this game could be the best eSport if it didn't die.
Thanks a lot for this video, this really hit nostalgia in me.
The people who played this game back in the day are fucking LEGENDS
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

This was the best game ever made. Played this for 9 years, which was a long time ago... I've played all kind of games and never seen anything like it before. Unfortunately the game wasn't extremely popular, it had potential to be one of the best E-sports games of all time.
10000% agree. This would've been one of the best esport games nowadays had it been released later. The game had sooo much potential!
@@danielvandenhoek6879 The dynamic swordplay, the crazy gunplay, the crazy fluid movement. Most games struggle to do even one of those things well!
GunZ had all three in spades!
The game is so popular in Vietnam that time. Very hard to play as shotgun and melee to me i love the most is melee
Agreed I still look for this game to this date somebody should bring it back it would take off
100% agree, someone needs to bring this game back
Rewatched this after 2 years since it was re-recommended to me. Imagine being a shout caster in tournaments if this became an esports. 😂
I remember when everyone started macroing k-style.
There was a plague of bootleg k-stylers with no control constantly throwing themselves off ledges for a time.
that was me. EXCEPT I was a little baby programmer and I started because my hands hurt lmao.
I spent HOURS making elaborate macros with shift and tab and space modifiers to try and make it fluid.
Bro that lobby music. The nostalgia is too real
My childhood. GunZ and SoldierFront i will never forget.
Imagine trying to cast a tournament. it´s so fast paced. What would the caster even say? oO
Bruh. Soldier Front was the best shooter, and for some reason, no other fps has ever made bullet control as good.
@Jason Rose gunbound xD
Lunia as well
Grinded to colonel on soldier front without using 2x. Skipped so many classes to play it day and night and was so lucky with perm weapons (re-skin) from free boxes on the Asia server. Probably was what kept me going and playing as a sniper was unstoppable. The uzi was also deadly for me and my favourite to use other than a psg.
When the music hit, the nostalgia came with it. Damn, I'm old.
I actually learned the butterfly technique in the arena level you were practicing on! Someone was kind enough to teach me via chat after mopping the floor with me and I was immediately hooked. I spent so many hours playing and trying to master it and I'm so glad this video showed up on my feed, thank you and Gunz Memories for the nostalgia!

I miss this game.. Met a lot of great people who were patient to teach me K-Style.. So many memories ;_;
This game and MapleStory were the two games that I played obsessively in highschool. I remember watching K style butterfly tutorials on TH-cam for hours trying to learn the mechanics.

This video brings back so many memories!! It was introduced to me by a friend in school when I was 11 or 12. We played GunZ from when ijji took over until its death. I played so much that I mastered the double shotgun butterfly, half step etc. The skill and difficulty needed to survive in game against other pro players is nothing like any game ive come across. If you saw another player as good as you, it was respectful the thing to bow before fighting 😂
