Will we eventually get Map Making Capabilities?

I hope these will come during late Beta or at Retail Release, as allowing players to create custom maps for their PRIVATE hives would be a fantastic idea. Players who get sick of Chernarus can hop onto a custom server, with a custom map, and have a refreshing experience.

 

I'd love to make a map with very few trees, set in the Winter, where you're more likely to find little towns then big cities. Bunkers, Military Installations, and such would be the only hotspots as the map would consist of snowy, ruined towns, connected by roads. Throw in an iced over, freezing river, if possible, and you'd have yourself a desolate, cold experience. Throw in temperature and the need to stay warm and it forces players to make camps and fires (when thats implemented) meaning that you're not going to be moving much unless you're bundled up. I'd make it so that the city like buildings would be spread apart, as well. So you'd go to a small town, with scattered houses a long the road, and perhaps one school building or supermarket. Small towns would have buildings that could yield valuable loot, but only a few of them would. This would make it so players would stop as smaller towns more often, and there would be less "deathzones." The military installations would have only a few barracks, tents, and such, making it so you don't just load up on 500 bullets and two M4A1's along with tons of camouflage.

 

Also, will we be seeing more maps in the future? Chernarus is swell, but it can get boring after a while. In the mod, you had options, such as Namalsk. Right now, we're limited to Chernarus. There are plenty of Arma 2 / Mod maps they could port, though they'd have to go through the process of making the buildings enterable and making them a bit more apocalyptic.

Map making?  Or map editing?  Adding enterable buildings is one thing, creating a new map from scratch is a whole nother cup of tea.

Love Namlask, also became a huge fan of Thirsk (Winter) for a bit of PVP action.
