Gun Gale Online

«Gun Gale Online» (ガンゲイル・オンライン) is an American made VRMMOFPS that emphasizes on gun usage. It utilizes FullDive technology to put players in a post apocalyptic world in a spaceship. It is the setting for Sword Art Online light novel volumes 5 and 6. One of the main events in GGO is the multi-player versus player tournament known as the Bullet of Bullets.

Gameplay Basis
The basis of gameplay is on increasing levels which in turn increase stats which are increased based on player's choices. These stats determine how a character plays and operates in the game, the interval selection can not be altered later, so players must know how they wish to develop in long-term. Also, in place of guilds and parties it uses a squadron-type team play.

Stats

 * AGI (Agility) - determines movement speed of a character
 * VIT (Vitality) - determines health of a character
 * DEX (Dexterity) - determines accuracy of a player and ability to hit targets
 * STR (Strength) - determines the carrying capacity and ability to wield certain guns
 * DEF (Defense) - determines the ability to defend against an ambush attack

Play-style

 * Mob-killing- killing mobs to gain experience and money
 * Player-killing- seeking out mob killers to gain money and experience

Guns

 * Optical weapons - firing light based ammunition, they are used primarily to hunt mobs. Against players, they have decreased effectiveness, and can be negated with some equipment.


 * Live-fire weapons - meant for player to player battles they are capable of ignoring most counters meant for optical weapons.

Log-out
Like its multiple counterparts GGO employs soulless logout, which leaves the player defenseless for sometime. They are vulnerable to attack and possible dropping of items. Of course the penalty doesn't apply in safe areas of the game.

Servers
Since its launch, up to the first Bullet of Bullets they used unified servers. After the first BoB the servers were divided in American and Asian, making players unable to cross from one server to another, but the servers were unified again for the fourth BoB.
