'''''GunZ: The Duel''''' ({{lang-ko|건즈 더 듀얼}}), also known simply as '''''GunZ''''' or '''''Gunz''''', is a [[MMO|massively multiplayer online]] [[Third-person shooter|third-person]] [[shooting game]]<ref name="MMOfury">{{cite web | title =Interview: GunZ - The Duel | work =MMOFury.com | date =[[August 5]], [[2008]] | url =http://mmofury.com/gamingnews/news.php?extend.143 | accessdate = 2008-08-05 }}</ref>, created by [[South Korea]]n-based [[MAIET Entertainment]]. International GunZ, in its [[Beta version|beta]], is currently free to play, and is planned to remain free after its official release. Though the International Edition is still in its [[Beta version|beta]] stage, the Korean and Japanese versions are considered complete. The game allows players to perform exaggerated, gravity-defying action moves, including wall running, flipping, tumbling, and blocking bullets with swords, in the style of [[action movies]] and [[anime]]. <!--Flipping isn't the correct way of calling it. According to the official site, it should be stunning. | And you would call vertical wall run "wall climbing" too? Stunning (in this case, it refers to wall jumping/flipping anyway) doesn't describe the maneuver in which a character uses their sword in order to launch their opponent in the air. --Kawufix --><!--Someone fix the History, make the table smaller, there's a large gap in the History section that just makes this Wiki look like a mess. Thank you. --OdinReborn --> <!-- The gap is fixed now--><!-- Backflipping is the same as flipping, no need for this word to be here --MrJacky -->


== Kill system == <!-- An encyclopedic article normally starts with an introduction, not on how it works. -->
'''''Funny Games''''' is an experimental [[Austrian films of the 1990s|1997]] [[Cinema of Austria|Austrian]] [[horror film]] directed by [[Michael Haneke]]. The [[Plot (narrative)|plot]] of the film involves two [[teenager|teenagers]] who hold a family hostage and [[torture]] them with [[sadism|sadistic]] games.
[[Image:Gunz0148gp2.JPG|left|thumb|The various kill animations found in GunZ: The Duel.]]
Scoring kills in GunZ earns a player "bounty", which is the currency unit in the world of GunZ, and [[experience points]], or EXP, which contribute to the progression or advancement of a player's [[Level (computer and video games)#Levels in computer role-playing games|level]]. In GunZ, when a player achieves a kill, they may receive one or more of five animations that appear above the player's head. The amount of EXP and bounty a player receives for a kill depends on the level of the enemy defeated. There are three ways to lose EXP. Two involve suiciding, falling into a bottomless pit, or killing oneself with their own explosives; typing /suicide does cause one to suicide within 5 seconds of idleness but does not reduce the amount of experience. These deaths will only cause EXP loss if the player is over level five. The third way to lose EXP occurs when one player, over level twenty-one, is killed by another player seven levels lower than them. This only occurs outside of the Expert or higher level channels. When a player's EXP drops to the point in which the player has less than zero EXP for their level, it is possible to move back one level. They will, however, be reverted to the previous level with 99% experience points and are able to increase their level again by attaining experience points equivalent to 1% or more.<!-- Fixed Darkthief-->


== Gameplay == <!-- Keep "Style" capfafieie2ohof3j20j023u02italized, since it's always referred to that way, or as K-Style. --Kawufix--> <!-- Korean Style is a term only known in GunZ. Use it as a sub-header of the gameplay of GunZ, and also introduce the gameplay before expanding into K-Style. -->
==Plot==
Unlike many other common games that involve shooting, GunZ has its own community-introduced gameplay styles that many people use.
The film begins with a well-to-do family - walton, his wife Anna, his son Schorschi, and their dog - arriving at their lake house. Their next-door neighbor pops in to visit, accompanied by two young men, Peter and Paul, whom he introduces as friends. The two men begin imposing themselves on the family's courtesy, and in the process destroy their phone and ruin all their eggs. Eventually a frustrated Anna demands that the men leave, asking Georg to eject them from the premises. Paul breaks wlaton

"Korean-Style," or commonly known as "K-Style," is a style of playing in GunZ that was introduced by the Korean GunZ community. It is based on animation and gameplay glitches, and is a form of [[emergent gameplay]]. Like in several [[fighting games]] such as [[Street Fighter]], canceling certain character animations or doing two actions at the same time in a sequence can create complex [[Combo_(computer_and_video_games)|combos]] , since it's based on several programming oversights, people using the style were commonly considered to be cheating and bug abuse, but it was never forbidden in any of the versions. In fact, it was featured in the official 2005 trailer released on the official GunZ website.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gunzonline.com/downloads/gunz_i.wmv |title=GunZ 2005 trailer |accessdate=2008-04-15}}</ref> At the core of K-Style is the usage of these animation cancels. K-Stylers most commonly use swords due to its weight to damage ratio advantage over kodachis (two swords), however both are usable.<!-- Stop adding D-style, E-style, and any other style unless you can get a non-forum-related source to prove its notability.--><!-- Do not add the techniques here. These are more suitable for an information site, not in an encyclopedic article. Do not state things like "although it will be harder" as there's no solid proof that it is tougher, rather, a personal opinion, which should not be present in a wiki. -->
Paul asks if the family wants to bet that they will be alive by 9:00 in the morning, though he doubts that they will win. Between playing their games, the two men keep up a constant patter, and Paul frequently ridicules Peter's weight and lack of intelligence. He describes a number of contradicting stories of Peter's past, though no definitive explanation is ever presented as to the men's origins or motives. When some of the family's other neighbors arrive for a visit, Anna passes the men off as friends until the visitors leave. Schorschi eventually escapes to the house next door, but finds the family dead. He attempts to shoot Paul with a rifle, but the gun fails to go off. Paul returns him to the house, along with the gun. After a few more games, the men play a [[counting-out game]] between the family members and select Schorschi. They shoot him and leave.


== GunZ Networking System ==
Georg and Anna weep for their loss, but eventually resolve to survive. Anna flees the house while Georg, with a broken leg, tries to get help with the malfunctioning phone. Anna struggles to find help, but eventually Peter and Paul reappear, capture her, and return to the house. They kill Georg and take Anna out on the family's boat. Around eight o'clock, they casually throw the bound Anna into the ice-cold water to drown, thus winning the bet. They dock at the house of the neighbours that had previously visited the family, and request some eggs, thereby restarting their cycle of murder.
GunZ's networking system in most parts of the game is [[peer to peer]], unlike many online shooters. Players connect to other players through their client, instead of through a central server. However, if one player has difficulty establishing connection with another, either the error "Agent Error : Agent not available" comes up, or if [[network address translation]] (NAT) is available on the server, the player will connect through TCP/IP directly. {{Facts|date=February 2007}}


Although this works well on [[LAN]]s or within relatively short distances, longer distances between players creates high latency, or [[lag]]. Because GunZ relies on the player being hit to transfer a [[Packet (information technology)|packet]] back to every other player to inform their clients that they were hit, players who have slower connections are harder to kill, as any packets sent to inform the client that they are being attacked are delayed.
==Cast==
<!-- 100 ping does not = 0.1 seconds of lag --one-->
* Susanne Lothar as Anna
<!--[More information] Sometimes NAT error can cause agent error. ijji comes with a NAT configuration which actually stops agent error.-->
* [[Ulrich Mühe]] as Georg
<!-- people with high ping are harder to hit not kill, being harder to hit leads to being harder to kill, people with high pings also have high pings on you so they have just as hard a time hitting you as you them --one-->
* Arno Frisch as Paul
<!--Some [[ijji|ijji GunZ]] Servers will automatically configure a player's [[Network address translation|NAT Connection]] if they have the errors, but will not always work in some cases (the 'Clan War' game is a good example.) (I do not know whether this should be used in the article) --Shameen -->
* Frank Giering as Peter
<!--GunZ has also become synonymous for its large and frequent amounts of cheaters and hackers. Once again, critics have blasted [[Maiet]] for their lack of anti-cheat updates through their anti-cheat program, [[GameGuard]]. Many of these same issues and criticisms are shared to a game very similar to GunZ in structure, [[Rakion]]. (delete this comment, and source before re-adding--Kawufix) --> <!--GunZ networking system is no part of Private Servers. It is a different thing, and deserves at least sub. --OdinReborn --> <!-- Gameguard is working all the time to fix hacker problems and they do have anti-cheat updates, if hackers didnt leak out the information as much, then only a few people would hack since most people dont actuallly create the hacks, they just download the programs that were made.-->
* Stefan Clapczynski as Schorschi
<!-- The History section can be deleted since it lacks information. -->
* Doris Kunstmann as Gerda
== Quest Mode ==
* [[Christoph Bantzer]] as Fred
In quest mode players, in groups of up to four, go through parts of a stage for a certain number of rounds, which are determined by the quest level. In each stage players are required to kill masses of creatures The game ends when every member of the player team dies or completes all the rounds. Players can make the quests harder, and more profitable by using special quest items to increase the quest level that can be bought from the in-game store or obtained during a quest. Quest items in-game are stored in glowing chests randomly dotted around the map. Players run through these to obtain an item randomly selcted. The items you obtain depend on the level of your character and what quest items are in use. By using certain items in combination, players can enter a [[boss (video games)|boss]] quest, by sacrificing items from defeating monsters in other quests with sacrificing item is a torn page, which you can buy from a store. The GunZ quest system was designed to reduce the amount of time it takes to prepare for boss raids that are typical in many other online games.<ref name="MMOfury" /><!-- Do not add unnecessary information on quests such as bosses. -->
* [[Wolfgang Glück]] as Robert


==Themes==
[[Image:Funnygamesgerman.JPG|thumb|Paul smirks at the audience.]]
The film frequently blurs the line between fiction and reality, especially highlighting the act of observation. The character Paul [[breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] throughout the movie and addresses the camera in various ways. As he directs Anna to look for her dead dog, he turns, winks, and smirks at the camera. When he asks the family to bet on their survival, he turns to the camera and asks the audience whether they will bet as well. At the end of the film, when requesting eggs from the next family, he looks into the camera and smirks again. Only Paul shows awareness that the film is being observed by the audience.


== QUEST DROPS AND LEVELS ==
Paul also frequently states his intentions to follow the standards of movie plot development. When he asks the audience to bet, he guesses that the audience wants the family to win. After the killers vanish in the third act, Paul later explains that he had to give the victims a last chance to escape or else it would not be dramatic. Toward the end of the movie, he postpones killing the rest of the family because the movie has not yet reached [[feature length]]. Throughout the film, Paul shows awareness of the audience's expectations.


Mansion
However, Paul also causes the film to go against convention on a number of occasions. In thriller movies, [[Final girl|one sympathetic character]] usually survives, but here all three family members die. When Anna successfully shoots Peter, as a possible start to a heroic escape for the family, Paul uses a remote control to rewind the film itself and prevent her action. After Schorschi dies, Paul regrets killing him first because it goes against convention and limits the suspense for the rest of the film. At the end of the film, the murderers prevent Anna from using a knife in the boat to cut her bonds. An earlier [[close-up]] had pointed out the knife's location as a possible set-up for a final-act escape, but this becomes a [[Red herring (plot device)|red herring]]. At the end of the film, Paul again smirks triumphantly at the audience. As a self-aware character, he is able to go against the viewers' wishes and make himself the winner of the film.

GunZ: The Duel (Korean: 건즈 더 듀얼), also known simply as GunZ or Gunz, is a massively multiplayer online third-person shooting game[1], created by South Korean-based MAIET Entertainment. International GunZ, in its beta, is currently free to play, and is planned to remain free after its official release. Though the International Edition is still in its beta stage, the Korean and Japanese versions are considered complete. The game allows players to perform exaggerated, gravity-defying action moves, including wall running, flipping, tumbling, and blocking bullets with swords, in the style of action movies and anime.

Kill system

The various kill animations found in GunZ: The Duel.

Scoring kills in GunZ earns a player "bounty", which is the currency unit in the world of GunZ, and experience points, or EXP, which contribute to the progression or advancement of a player's level. In GunZ, when a player achieves a kill, they may receive one or more of five animations that appear above the player's head. The amount of EXP and bounty a player receives for a kill depends on the level of the enemy defeated. There are three ways to lose EXP. Two involve suiciding, falling into a bottomless pit, or killing oneself with their own explosives; typing /suicide does cause one to suicide within 5 seconds of idleness but does not reduce the amount of experience. These deaths will only cause EXP loss if the player is over level five. The third way to lose EXP occurs when one player, over level twenty-one, is killed by another player seven levels lower than them. This only occurs outside of the Expert or higher level channels. When a player's EXP drops to the point in which the player has less than zero EXP for their level, it is possible to move back one level. They will, however, be reverted to the previous level with 99% experience points and are able to increase their level again by attaining experience points equivalent to 1% or more.

Gameplay

Unlike many other common games that involve shooting, GunZ has its own community-introduced gameplay styles that many people use.

Korean-Style

Template:StrategyWiki

"Korean-Style," or commonly known as "K-Style," is a style of playing in GunZ that was introduced by the Korean GunZ community. It is based on animation and gameplay glitches, and is a form of emergent gameplay. Like in several fighting games such as Street Fighter, canceling certain character animations or doing two actions at the same time in a sequence can create complex combos , since it's based on several programming oversights, people using the style were commonly considered to be cheating and bug abuse, but it was never forbidden in any of the versions. In fact, it was featured in the official 2005 trailer released on the official GunZ website.[2] At the core of K-Style is the usage of these animation cancels. K-Stylers most commonly use swords due to its weight to damage ratio advantage over kodachis (two swords), however both are usable.

GunZ Networking System

GunZ's networking system in most parts of the game is peer to peer, unlike many online shooters. Players connect to other players through their client, instead of through a central server. However, if one player has difficulty establishing connection with another, either the error "Agent Error : Agent not available" comes up, or if network address translation (NAT) is available on the server, the player will connect through TCP/IP directly. [citation needed]

Although this works well on LANs or within relatively short distances, longer distances between players creates high latency, or lag. Because GunZ relies on the player being hit to transfer a packet back to every other player to inform their clients that they were hit, players who have slower connections are harder to kill, as any packets sent to inform the client that they are being attacked are delayed.

Quest Mode

In quest mode players, in groups of up to four, go through parts of a stage for a certain number of rounds, which are determined by the quest level. In each stage players are required to kill masses of creatures The game ends when every member of the player team dies or completes all the rounds. Players can make the quests harder, and more profitable by using special quest items to increase the quest level that can be bought from the in-game store or obtained during a quest. Quest items in-game are stored in glowing chests randomly dotted around the map. Players run through these to obtain an item randomly selcted. The items you obtain depend on the level of your character and what quest items are in use. By using certain items in combination, players can enter a boss quest, by sacrificing items from defeating monsters in other quests with sacrificing item is a torn page, which you can buy from a store. The GunZ quest system was designed to reduce the amount of time it takes to prepare for boss raids that are typical in many other online games.[1]
