We Need New Maps - Seattle

[Serious Stan 202]

you realise that players make the new maps right?

its not mcdonalds, you cant just order a meal here

I'd love BI to give Ivan a few idle map creators and give them time to experiment with the Seatle map.

I'd change the textures, add a few craters and ruins, but leave Seattle to have been swept by a raging fire and left the surface more or less barren. The surface will be mostly for travel and for hunting, not many roaming zombies due to the fire and only a few loot spawns. Then I'd drop a shit load of instance entrances to malls, banks, subways, sewers, access tunnels, car tunnels with military barricades, electrical tunnels, church catacombs, subway commercial area, under ground car parking, well you get the idea.

Stan, It was done in jest. It would just be an awesome map that in the future (the far future) such a map will probably be possible.

Believe it or not i aint no dumbass and I do realise certain things about the world.

Stan Y U SO SERIOUS?

Isn't nobody

you cant have large cities like this, otherwise you cant have an open farm land which makes dayz so fun. you have to balance it out with small towns and cities every now and then. Thats why russia is a good choice because you can have an even balance of the two.

Totally my opinion. It would be too damn boring if most people would live the big city life and loot metropoles fo hours. The City/Farm/Forest dispensation in a game is the best i've seen.

Possibly, but the ground textures on the actual map are so badly done (Mainly because it's from TOH where the idea is that you're in the helicopters).

Also, the loadouts would need to be re-config'd for a more American setup.

But, minding both of those, I'd be all in, especially if they made it an official map and created interiors for the buildings.

Of course the whole idea is pie in the sky - but who knows? One day something like this will be possible - just might need a Quantum computer to run it.

I wonder what a 64-bit version of Bohemia's engine utilising all cores on a machine would be capable of. I think it might get pretty close to running something like you proposed so who knows what the future holds :)

One day.....one day.....

i would love to see a concrete jungle.

Let's have a 9.83 million km² map of America.

Pfft, there won't be any lag.

See you in 3000.

[DemonGroover 8836]

Being an old fart - i remember the Atari 2600 in the 1980's with pixelated graphics and 128 bytes of RAM. If you had told me back then what computer games would be like in 30 years i would have laughed and said it wouldnt be possible. Realistic graphics? 225 km sq map to wander? Playing with and against people around the world? Pfft. Impossible.

It may seem an impossibilty to us right now but believe me in 30 years gaming will be unrecognisable to what it is now. I fully expect to be wandering a Chernarus Matrix.

I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it.

wat

[Wazza 274]

Its from the Matrix movie dude.. never mind

[King of kong 1117]

So anyone else like to see this map ported to DayZ?

All buildings enterable with loot of course. As well as 200,000 zombies wandering about.

See you in 2025!

To be honest, I've seen too much of America to know that I wouldn't buy the SA if they set it there. In my opinion it's pretty saey and generic. It just doesn't fit the  apocalyptic feel. Some ones I'd like to see:

-French Farmland W/ Challete And Coastal Towns.

-Coast of Kerry And Clare In Republic of Ireland, With Explorable Islands Succh As, But Not Limited To, Skelig Michael, The Arran Islands.

-Vorkuta, Northern Russian Federation

-Iceland

-Baltic Nations

-Scandinavia

-China 1 Billion Zombies

Nether has shown me (at least at the moment; by watching videos) that a huge city isn't really all that interesting and may seem to have a quite monotonous look after some time...
