Abandoned Olympics

[NickderSchlitzer 25]

Now the Winter-Olympics are coming, I searched a little bit through the World-Wide-Web and found some abandoned places which pretty much fit in the DayZ-Map.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would really like to see something like that in the game. Maybe in a year from now ;)

i think the last pic is from germany, olympics under hitler.

 

Nvm, cool idea,

Damn these leakers, OlympicZ is the name of the first official Addon to DayZ, featuring all new disciplines like Zombie-head-tossing, jumping over a hole filled with hungry Zombies and last but definitely not least the popular Zombiathlon!

Very cool looking.

[Hethwill_Khan 233]

Yep. If you travelled to the the open stadium in the north wastes you'll see there is immense space there. Actually zones are marked for future structures already, simple tarmac squares and structure position plans all around that area.

the last one was cool

Lol i was just about to post the very same thing. :)

 

The german magazine DER SPIEGEL featured an article about it today. Here is the Link, for those speaking german, it's actually a pretty interesting read and has some more pictures with it. ;)

 

I think it would be a great addition to the now somewhat empty far north. Maybe an abandoned winter-sports area, with ski lifts, big abandoned hotel towers, restaurants and stuff! Would be an amazing area to explore!

I would love to see the indoor pool in the map. It's something people of all ages enjoy and would have such a strange but cool atmosphere when looking so abandoned with the people gathering up in there.

I'm all up for more unique locations in the map.

yep, here it is:

Nice vibe. Would be cool to have abandoned skiing/athletics set ups for sure.

[schadowhunter 6]

It would be really, really cool if there was an indoor pool in one of the bigger cities.

 

There is also one in Prypiat city inside the chernobyl evacuation zone, it was already used in several other computer games including Call of Duty and STALKER.

An article came up on yahoo with some of these and more. Thought the devs might appreciate some inspiration.

I like this idea.  We need more map degradation.  The towns need to be more run down and have blood/other atmospheric stuff in them because right now most of the towns look to perfect.

[NagsterTheGangster 388]

Id be so fucking down to battle in these places! Snipe from the top of the slopes and shit lol

 

And that last pic looks like Pripryat Ukraine. (if you played Call of Duty 4 you'll know exactly what I mean)

I know this is just an alpha but i find the lack of unique buildings a little sad. It would be great to have a few places that are not duplicated anywhere else on the map. The idea of an abandoned Olympic Village is also a really cool idea. You can easily find pictures from the onlympics in China in 2008 and athens in 2004 and these places look like they are straight out of Dayz SA.

Ummm... add a map after release (so like 2-3 years not rushing the devs!)  that is an abandoned Sochi?  Anyone?  Abandoned Sochi Russia?  You know you want it! :beans:

Had the same idea today. :P Every village should have a least 1 building you can find nowhere else! Would make them much more unique. Could also help people communicating where they are/ help new players. "The town with the car dump and the ancient windmill (do they have windmills there?)" can be recognized much easier than the name Staroye. The fact that the signs are Cyrillic makes unique villages and towns even more important.

Um, fuck yes.

God that would be awesome to see an Olympic village like this, maybe some of the athletes were turned into zombies, making a whole new breed of hurdling & sprinting zombies.
