The international edition may be on open beta, but this new game (it came out in the US August 4th) is SICK! Think of Counterstrike plus The Matrix made by Korean people. Holy sh*t.

 

It's also got a level system too, so you can compete against people at your own level instead of having unfair noobs vs. vetrans matches like in other games.

 

If you're wondering what I'm talking about:

 

GunZ Online is an online first(ish) person shooter game, in which you can do cool Matrix moves like walk up walls and fly forwards and backwards and do strafe jumping. There's also swordplay in this, which is an awesome element of the game, especially when a Gladiator match is being held, meaning nothing but swords.

 

You level up by gaining exp (by killing people) and can buy upgrades using money you recieve (Bounty) from killing people.

 

There are 3 major weapon types: swords, guns, and grenades. Guns are my specialty.

 

The game is expected to come out of open beta by November, and by that time, there should be a story mode with questing and all that good stuff. Only with guns.

 

All you need to do is download the installer, install the game, and run the updater. You can register when you download the game, it's easier that way. Once that happens, you just sign in, create a character, and choose a server.

 

The graphics in this game are amazing, and the best part? It's totally free. Screw Counterstrike, I'm playing GunZ from now on. Sure there aren't as many maps or players, but it's a much more solid game, and it's got Matrix moves and swordplay. What more could you want?
