GunZ 2 - Live gameplay videos

I grew a bit tired of waiting around for some more gameplay videos of GunZ 2 to show up, so I decide to look for some myself. I searched around THISISGAME.com and found some live cam footage. It took me awhile to figure out how to download the video since there wasn't any direct links, but I got it anyway! Check it out:


As a quick breakdown of the video:
  • All three character classes (Assassin, Fighter, Heavy) were playable.
  • As with the original GunZ, players are free to dash as many times as they want, although the dash distance seems a bit shorter.
  • Tumbling with ranged weapons is no longer possible as dashing is used for all weapons.
  • The crosshair changes depending on what weapon you're using, including a shield icon whenever you're in a guard stance using a melee weapon.
  • Wall running and wall climbing is now much easier to perform while giving players more freedom to move around.
  • All character classes are capable of dashing, wall running, etc.
  • In team battles, players are distinguishable by a small red/blue light underneath them.
  • The gauge meter next to the HP and armor bar can be filled up by killing enemies or by collecting gauge bottles around the map.
  • Earning an assist kill does not fill the gauge meter.
  • Filling the gauge meter to max allows you to perform a "Kill move". The meter will turn red and slowly depletes itself, giving players roughly 20 seconds to perform a kill move on an enemy player.
  • Kill moves can only be performed with a melee weapon.
  • Your gauge meter will be depleted completely whether the attack connects with the enemy or not.
  • Kill move animations CANNOT be interrupted.
  • Seen from previous footage, it's possible that the gauge meter will be use for attacks other than single-hit kill moves.
  • Melee weapons can once again be used to deflect enemy bullets
  • Stun moves are still possible, but it is uncertain whether players will able to recover from stun attacks.
  • Heavy types with shields can fill up a small amount of their gauge meter by successfully blocking enemy bullets.
  • Guard stance can be broken from certain melee attacks and from deflecting too many bullets.

Well that's what I managed to pick out from the video. Still no sign of any sort of animation cancelling (K-style, D-style, etc.) but the gameplay looks just as chaotic and fast paced as it the original. If there's anything you've spotted worth mentioning, you should probably leave a comment or something.

Update 11/14/2011 - More gameplay from G-Star 2011 showed up. Gameplay in this video was primarily focused on the Assassin class.


  • While using melee weapons, players can perform swipe attacks while side stepping
  • All character classes can fill up their gauge meter by blocking bullets with their melee weapon
  • Players emit a green gas whenever they've maxed up their gauge meter
  • Players gain a yellow outline during respawns and kill moves to signify their invulnerability to enemy attacks
  • Along with dashing, players can perform dodge and side steps on the ground while using ranged weapons.
Gameplay still looks sweet, but I have to say the player in the video seemed to be trying REALLY hard to perform K-style moves or some kind of variant. Is K-style going to be ditched completely in GunZ 2? Well there's no solid way of telling, but it sure is starting to look that way.

When TSD is released, pro players that play on gunz 1 will probably begin telling every noob they kill to "Fck off and go play gunz tsd noob.." :)

btw can you do a barrel roll in gunz 2?

Mikedot said...

By "barrel roll", I assume you mean "tumbling".
According to Venister on MAIET's official blog: You can't tumble in GunZ 2, things may change later on.
