The combat system alone was one of a kind! You didn't throw just one attack animation a round; it was always a combination of punches, kicks, blocks, dodges and a grab or two. "Gun Fu" with the various firearms at close quarters was just as dynamic: flips, rolls, feints, shots, behind-the-back shots and more! And the better you were at one of the martial arts or firearms Skills, the more you could do in combat and the fancier your attacks and defenses became. Even after playing MxO for a year or two, MxO's combat never grew stale! I'd love to see a reboot too.
@@BloodyBay I’ve been training kung fu for about 8 years now, and I’ve just about perfected the machine gun fist! I was in Iraq when it shutdown. I tried hounding Sony to release the coding. Sadly to no avail.
@angeldemonjosh And first. ;-) I wish there had been a video to demonstrate more special attacks than Machinegun Fists and Piston Kick. My main specialized in Karate, and both Sky-High Kick and Sidekick Combo were cool to watch. In contrast, Ki-Charged Punch wasn't as flashy and it was an Inner Strength hog...but it would just about tear somebody in half. I need to make that video, too. Good times.
This game needs a reboot. It was so damn good!

This video is cheesy but gives a good demonstration of some simple combat concepts.
ikr that would make things alot easierso u could ya kno see more about the combat and everything
@angeldemonjosh I'm having trouble understanding you here. You mean knowing more about the combat, like analyzing your opponent's stats and such?
cool :D
