[@LongButtocks]

thank you so much for bringing this back, this game really is such a lost memory :")

[@unlimitlesspower6340]

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

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.

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.

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.

[@atlasbrellan]

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.

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.
