DayZ Possible Map Idea

[fede042@gmail.com 12]

Personally, I think Chernarus is a really fun, and well made map. I'm also a huge fan of all the custom maps such as Taviana and Lingor. What I would really like to see maybe as a mod for DayZMod or as a full fledged map for Standalone, is a kind of American metropolis map. Take New York for example. It'd be awesome to find thousands upon thousands of zombies on the street, and maybe going through rooftops and such. Kind of like in the 1st season of The Walking Dead when they're in Atlanta.

While I agree that a large city would be sweet, Rocket has already said there will be a few thousand zombies on each server in Chernarus.

Kind of like in the 1st season of The Walking Dead when they're in Savannah.

The Walking Dead never took place in Savannah, that was downtown Atlanta.

Rocket has already stated that he plans on making a metropolis-type map.

Thanks, I got confused with the game and TV show. They mention Savannah quite a bit in the game so it kinda confused me.

Source? Mainly because I'm curious to read more about it, and just see it for myself.

Can please post your source? I think you got lied to.

I kind of like the idea (thought not the US part. I live in the US and love it, but it's the most cliche place for a zombie game or movie ever), but I'm pretty sure it's impossible. It's just not practical to make detailed, fully enterable skyscrapers (and a lot of them at that), as well as all the smaller houses.

Only thing I can recall off the top of my head is this:

Q: Can people climb through open windows after breaking them?

A: We did look at this, the problem is all the buildings were designed without this in mind, to make it so you could climb through a window we would have to reposition the window which would involve a lot of texture work, unwrapping changes all that kind of stuff, so that would be the kind of thing we would look at in a new world. There is no doubt in my mind we will see new worlds, personally this is what I would like to see. I would like to see a world with a large city in the middle of it surrounded by woods and mountains with natural barriers to it and it would be a western city, that to me is the next Dayz map I would like to see, but I also want to see some community maps ported over for the early DayZ as well.

As one of my slightly stranger friends likes to say, "shoot my face!".
