(Suggestion for the mappers) A metropolitan map?

Recommended Posts

Seeing that DayZ now has many custom maps available, I have a thought, how about making an actual metropolitan map? Somewhat like NYC,or Los Angeles, with enterable multiple-story apartment buildings to hide in, but beyond that, streets full of zombies. Some suburban area outside one very big city.

There is DayZ Emita City, but i'm not sure if there are any servers for it yet.

But anyway why Cities.

There isn't anything scenic to look at apart from the tall skyscrapers.

A city is too big imo, Maybe a few towns and villages set in a foresty area.

There is a map that is basically all a city. Its called Fallujah: http://dayzdb.com/map/fallujah

Fallujah only have like 2-3 story buildings. I'm talking like the huge apartments in Taviana but made really tall like one of those International hotels.

Not talking about the scenery, just the intense experience of being in the "heart of the infestation" You can have bandits holed up at 5-6 stories above ground watching the streets below, survivors inside a 4 story mall, lone wolfs dodging zombies on a highway going through and across the city filled with stopped cars, hospitals with actual hospital rooms and beds and wards... Survival would be very hard, altough supermarkets, minimarkets and gun shops would be more common.

In my oppinion They should Not make more maps, but rather make The existing Map bigger (4 Times it size??)

Maybe a Capitol to The West (with a Ton of buildings), colder regions to The North with Mountains an such (pretty much like namalsk), some islands and ships in the south and so on.

I think Chernarus is to small for dayz The Map should be so Big, that you Need a helo or at least a Car if you are Not Planning on walking 3 hours

(It would give vehicles a more vital role)

And if it is True and they are Planning on increasing The Player count on One Map They should Even more do so, otherwise it will be 200 Player Elektro deathmatch

Making too many buildings with too many floors of which you can enter is not a possibility sadly. It's not so much practically impossible as it is a hardware limitation.

You could make one or two such high rises but not a dozen of them within view distance of each other.

That is sad news indeed :( Maybe someday we can experience a virtual urban nightmare. Just imagine a scene where 2 groups of survivors in 2 different apartment buildings separated by a street full of zombies. One of the guys badly injured. What to do, how to regroup, and such :D
