Yes, it completely explains GunZ, and everything you need to know about past and present situations. Finally, I love you MAIET. I really do. I'm a fan of your game, really, but you've done some questionable things during its lifespan. Change Log: 0.1 * Initial release, dumbass */ BACKGROUND The game's storyline is only to be found on gunzonline.com, and for good reason. You will fall asleep halfway through if you are over 12, and you'll bash your head in confusion at the first sentence otherwise. It is a boring story, dealing with wars and kings and the Industrial Revolution (cleverly named Industrial Cataclysm), with magic sprinkled in at the end. The story has no importance in the game today, so knowing it only makes you wiser. The only thing you can figure out about the background by gameplay alone is that it's in the steam age, with a few odd tweaks. Floating castles, floating areas of rock, floating arbitrary staircases, this place is fuckin' weird. GAMEPLAY The game lets you create your own avatar modeled exactly like your real self. Naturally, there are a lot of slender white females with brown or red hair, or muscle-bound African-Americans who leap twice as high and have the spear-throwing capability. You don't unlock those till later in the game, though, so you have to stick with white guys with a pornographic group of action phrases. Give me your best shot, baby. After you've created your diverse character, you are dropped into the "lobby" which is more or less a black area of dispair, full of different languages. No one can steal your Bounty Points (your currency in this game), so you can rest assured you're not in Harlem. Talking to people in the lobby is generally a worthless plan, especially if you've just started playing and are in the "Entry Channel". This place, along with its sister channel, "Beginner Channel", is a place people with alternate characters level 21 and over cannot get into. Not many people talk while playing games in this channel, mostly because they do not know that pressing Enter will do it. When you commit murder enough times, you gain a level. Levels are equivalent to penis size, so hurry up. Speaking of leveling, you may hear the term "swap" thrown around, or its handicapped Spanish cousin "mamutear". Swapping is trading kills to level faster, and is highly looked down upon by ijji. If they catch you swapping, you will be banned for three days. This rule is deprecated, though, because ijji admins do not play GunZ. Powerleveling is a much faster and more illegal solution, though due to ijji's recent genius, your EXP (sex experience) might be locked for a while. The game offers Matrix-like moves, with no bullet time unfortunately, and a large variety of maps (19, one more in the winter) which are mostly ripping off of some movie or other game. The basic play controls are walking, tumbling, dashing, jumping, wall running, slashing, shooting, blocking, and throwing. Had this not been a third person game, MAIET would've been sued into the ground by Valve. Luckily the game has a ton of programming oversights, which let us do a bunch of crazy ****. You can either do the horribly named "Korean" style with a katana (or if you're stupid, a kodachi) and impress people with your mindless jumping and slashing and spazzing; or you can take up a dagger and stand up for the little peopple. Or you could keep tumbling and shooting and flinging poo. The choice is yours, and yours alone. Ping (PENISing, how fast your computer dicks the other) is a very important aspect of gameplay in GunZ. When you press tab during a match, you'll see players and their levels and their clans and their scores and their PINGS. Pings determine how far away someone is from you, or how shitty their connection is. Usually the former, although the latter can cause ping to rise dramatically. Generally, the higher the ping is, the more ahead of them you have to shoot (and the lower their IQ is). I'm not here to give you a "leading" (shooting ahead) guide, so look somewhere else to learn how far ahead to shoot. Some people do not lead at all, even for pings such as 150 or higher, and they are disregarded as primitives. As you level, you can buy (with your "Bounty") new weapons, clothes, items, and rings. Clothes give you AP (agility points, they make your ping higher, thus making you take more damage), and sometimes HP too! Weapons are obviously used to commit murder and gain bounty; they come in two types, melee and ranged. Melee weapons are katanas, kodachis, daggers, large swords, and dual daggers. Ranged weapons, to save space, shoot bullets. Items can be grenades (frag, smoke, and flash) or healing items that recover your HP or AP or both. Rings can give you more available weight (you start with 100) or more HP/AP. As you play GunZ more and slowly become addicted, chances are you'll have a few buddies you keep in contact with. This is normal, you're not gay. Maybe you want to take your relationship with them to the next level, you could make a gang. A gang is the GunZ parallel to a hate group, a bunch of people banded together fighting for racial dominance. To make a gang, the gang leader, the grand wizard, needs to have slain 1000 men, and be atlevel 10. Once a gang's been made, a common practice is to hold tryouts to find more people of the same caliber to join. When you've got enough soldiers, you can participate in a gang war. A gang war is a bloody capture-the-flag match that goes on for exactly four nights, and is the last of seven steps to end a bitter rivalry. Before ijji GunZ, trench warfare was prominent in these epic battles. As you're chasing down the 180 pinger who's been screaming "waaaaa" the whole game, you may notice he's taking more abuse than the average Pinoy. If you've been hacking and slashing and shooting for too long without the opposing party showing any signs of weakness, you may have a hacker. A hacker is a malicious computer user who can and will gain access to your megahertz; so if someone takes too much damage or is flying across the map followed closely by what looks like a yellow flashing dragon, it's best to turn off your computer. Right now. You could, of course, record the incident and risk all the data on your hard disk, and send it to ijji. But they are far too busy banning swappers, which has never happened, so you're better off reformatting as soon as you can. Last edited by peaceofpi; 08-21-2007 at 05:05 AM. |

| Re: GunZ handbook ENCYCLOPEDIA Some tidbits you might want to know about. K-style: Incorrectly said to be "Korean" style, someone should have coined Katana/Kodachi style while they had the chance. K-style is composed of a lot of slashing, a lot of shooting, and a lot of pain. Plus some inflated self-confidence. E-style: Another style named by a fifth grader, apparently all Europeans tumble around like idiots whilst holding the trigger on their Maxwell. D-style: The only correctly abbreviated style, this is for dagger users. Dagger stylists say they like the speed, but I'll let one try to do a double half quarter forbidden wind step with no onions, all in one jump. international GunZ: The version of GunZ that all of the gods in Greek and Roman mythology combined played in. There were no "premium" items, or advanced features like 7 round gang wars and shooting goblins. The best players come from this era, sadly most have realized what a bad game this is by now. ijji gen players: Like the spike in birth rates following World War II, the release of ijji GunZ brought a whole bunch of players we didn't want. They learn how to K-style before walking, and flip people in duel matches. They are, if you will, the cancer that is killing GunZ. Full version features: Much like Communism, they only work in Korea where people have under 10 ping. Premium (cash) items give you a lot of HP and AP, and gang wars are won by winning 4 (out of 7) rounds; this can leave even the best gang feeling defeated when one of their members was on the phone, jacking off, eating, and playing GunZ at the same time. MAIET: Team Innovation, MAIET unfortunately puts the I in "team", a practice banned hundreds of years ago. MAIET is a Korean company led by Venister the chimera. The international GunZ servers (owned by MAIET) are powered by the souls that Guntrix, the half of the organization with mildly better English, steals. As you might have guessed, Guntrix didn't steal too many souls. -0-;;;;;;;; NA GunZ: Doesn't exist. ijji betrayed us, but it was too long ago to start the argument again. ijji GunZ: iGunZ with full version features. Random words from a dictionary: Used to make player and gang names in ijji GunZ. ego: This word is thrown around a lot, even outside of GunZ (especially in the nigger circus called GunzFactor). It's actually become the word of the day, every day in fact. It refers to being cocky, even though that's nothing close to the actual definition. But what would you expect from the ijji gen? It's two syllables and three letters long, it's about easy enough for them to type as much as they do. n _ _ b: Quite a treat, this word is, it could mean anything. Typically a newb is a new player, nothing more nothing less. Noob is an offensive term (yes, I'm serious) used for players who aren't new and act like they are great, when they are horrible at the game. Not exclusive to GunZ.
