Don't you wish there was a western map?

Man, Russian is so confusing to my brain. I've traveled Europe and found my way around dozens of cites. Am I the only one who has a huge problem pronouncing and/or memorizing these Russian town names? After all this time the only thing I have in my brain are things I can change to English. Stary, Cherno, Electro, NWA, ect. Every other town seems to disappear from my brain the second I close my map.

Weird right?

I like Russia, America and Britain are too common in games now.

Nah, I know my way around pretty well, I'm not too concerned about how I spell Solnichniy or Nizhnoye or Elektrozavodsk.

I thought this was about cowboys and Indians...

haha i thought you meant like a spaghetti western map, which would be so fucking good!

[gravedancer 35]

I like the old european feel. Some how it makes it feel more authentic.

A"spaghetti western map"? Please explain.

Because Russia isn't a common nation in today's games....

Like every CoD and BF, Arma II, etc. The list of 'Main enemy is Russia' is enormous.

I know, right... I'd take a Sharps. :D

Like so:

I still had trouble with Lingor and I speak decent Spanglish.

If you let the East-European setting turn you off, you're gonna miss out on a beautifully detailed game world.

You think that is "old European".... (-_-*)

In the same way that the US isn't the same all over, Europe isn't... in fact, I'm going to go ahead and say that Europe is a whole lot more diverse. The small wooden houses you see in Arma are rarely found in western Europe (apart from the Alps).

And yes, a map western style map for DayZ would be awesome, though I have to say that I'd prefer a French/German/Italian/Austrian/Czech-style map to an American one. Firearms loot would be pretty much non-existant though.

A British map would be a pain in the backside. You'd have to walk around all the hedges in the countryside, find places to get into fields and into the next. Very pretty, but a big nuisance if you have to navigate it in a video game.

I really want someone to make a chernobyl map, would be legit.

[CF Mallard 18]

.... I thought this was about western style maps to, and how young are you, you don't know what spaghetti western means.

I wouldn't mind a North American map but it would have to be bc or Alaska to be accurate and usable because everywhere else would require to much barren space like badlands or prairies or urban centres with unasable buildings.

I'm quoting fraggle on this but american cities are the most cliche zombie apocalypse setting's for zombie games and movies, Chernarus is just a step up from NYC or LA which would take forever to make.

I really do like the idea of an Alaska map I really wanna go there.

Yes, America is fairly overdone with almost any genre of book, movie, game, or fan fiction you can find. It's a very overdone place all together, but i'm so amazed at how often everyone does the same three spots in america "generic NY copy", "generic West Coast City" or "generic suburban areas with some forests and way too many 'brodonald's'". I think what he was trying to say is, yeah, the desert of takistan was okay, and the european based maps are intriguing, but america has so many more GUNS!!!!!!!!! LET'S GO PLOWIN' ACROSS THE DESERT AND PLUNDER THE VILLAGES WITH OUR DODGES AND FORDS (nice note, europe has some crappy vehicles, particularly Eastern europe....when it comes to survival, ferraris are great...but....yeah you see what i mean) WITH OUR CHEAP BUT PLENTIFUL SHOTGUNS, AND EASY TO ACQUIRE EXPLOSIVES, 'MEHRCA IS WHERE THE REAL MEN FIGHT OVER GUNS (another nice note, we have so much more porn, somehow, someone could implement that into the game, and it could be almost an item of exchange, like money (noticing that some maps now have some sort of infrastructure to them now, with safe zones and money). And one final point, i foresee that Americans (due to their anti-neighborly behavior, and lust for personal security) would be more likely to form small societies after such an event, and quicker too. Not saying we're better at government (just, look at it....yeah...) it's more to do with our habits, and just generally how much more space we have to escape the disease. More americans would survive the disease, but more would die with a bullet in their back.

yes
