New map idea?

[thedogfoodyayho 295]

So, i had this idea awhile back.

The map would be large (Maybe twice the size of chernarus?) And would consist of Two mainlands and a large Island inbetween. Each mainland would be a different country, Each with its own Vehicles/Weapons. One would be Eastern-influenced, the other Western. So you could tell if the player had been on the western island if he was carrying and M4, M9, ect, becuase these wouldn't spawn on the eastern island.

The island in the middle would be a sort of No-mans land with bridges connecting it to the mainlands, making the bridges warzones. 

 

There would be an derlic US fleet in the open water, the carrier spawning the best loot around

 

 

Heres a few Weapons/items/vehicles that would be cool

 

Armored:

BTR-40 (Dshk)

BRDM-2 (Hq)

M113

M113 ambulance

 

Cars

Uaz (Dshk)

Hmmvee (m240)

Gaz-66

PTS (tracked amphibious vehicle)

GAZ-51

VW Beetle

 

Air: 

MI-26 (can transport vehicles)

 

Weapons

The western side would have alot of M16/4s, and Rarer FALs, and for LMGs, A 7.62 Nato Bren, and an MG3 (Mg42). For pistols, Browning HPs and Walther P1s. 

The easterb side would have Akm/s's, Ak(s)-74's, Abd SKS's, abd for Lmgs, Rpk and 74, RPD's and PKM's, and pistols would be tokarevs and Makarovs.

Military weapons would be rarer and Civilian weapons would include:

Mosin m91/30 and M44

Mauser G98

SKS

PPs-43 and Ppsh

Single-shot hunting rifle

Ruger .22 Rifles and pistols

Remingon Shotguns

TOZ-194s 

Nagant 1895s,

Tt33s

And many more 

 

So, what does (anyone?) Think? I have no way of making thid myself but would love to see something like it in a mod!

People like a hard time trying to survive. If you can tinker with loot tables, make food much less rare etc. wait, that would be a mod thing....not a map. Well fuck it samething.

[GOD™ 2795]

Well now, you should get on with that "idea" of yours.

[meat pie 632]

I "would" Give you advise, if you could ever make this in a million years *Twice* the size of  chernarus you say?

 

PS.I know this could never happen and am not saying the op said that just saying the best modder/map maker ever could never make this and if he did no one would play it because all people play is epoch.

[thedogfoodyayho 295]

Twice the size of chernarus, INCLUDING Water which would take up atleast 1/3rd of the map.

And there are ARMA maps twice the size of chernarus, and thats just the land. Nicosia (Maybe not the best map, but a good example) Is 30,000m Wide edge to edge i believe (Not quite sure, may be 25,000)

So, your point of "Its impossible" Is invalid. I'm not talking about a map as detailed as chernarus, More like something helfway.

I'de say its more pratical than the guy who wanted to make they entire world.

It's not neccesary. As long as we don't have air transport, Chernarus should be large enough.

[enforcer1975 1111]

If we had a lack of those full pension servers players would know what distance means. Most would even drive to the next grocery store 100m away just to get a six pack of beer IRL...

Stary to Berezino? No problem...hop into your Littlebird be there in 30 seconds...

This sounds like the map for a war to be fought. I didn't hear one mention of infected or anything else dayz related. Just a bunch of pretty guns and cars you want to play with..

[harley001 315]

map is too big.  Players would barley bump into each other and the amount of time it would take to move around would be a bit boring.

 

Also you never detailed the map.  What environment would be?  How many cites would it have?  All you did was give a basic summary and then say "I want dese gunz and carz".  No map modder is going to make map for you if they don't know anything more then that.  Also forcing people into bridges that are meant to be deathtraps is usually a bad ideal...

How bout a map which is the size of the Highlands in Scotland. That'd be epic. that would be like 400km2 or more. That would be EPIC!

[thedogfoodyayho 295]

Yesh i forgot to mention changes the zombies. The non-aggroed movementvwould be faster to nerf the indoors glitch, and they would do more damage per hit. 

The map would be kinda a mix between taviana and Chernarus, with lots of farms and only about 15 cities total. 

As for bridges being deathtraps, there would be lots of boats, maybe even a small cargo ship that you could load vehicles into (Redone vehicle towing?) So yiu could get around without using the bridges, but i hate it to all ends that after you have a vehicle in chernarus, you can be across the map in 15 minutes. Thats why the bridges would be nice.

 

The thing is, it may be big but most of the loot would be concentrated near the bridge area, but it would allow players who want to make a base to not get raided every night while they sleep.

Why do you have no way of making it yourself?

[AP_Norris 1018]

I used to have these awesome ideas for fallout mods.

If only I knew shit about making video games.

I reckon I'd be a really popular modder.... ;)

[thedogfoodyayho 295]

^ Same problem here

[badluckburt 974]

There's nothing stopping you from educating yourself

[thedogfoodyayho 295]

It would be shit though, and by the time i could even start, SA Will be out, along with the new *cough* Epoch i'm sure
