Can this Mod run on other maps?

[L0G!N 9]

Or another way to put it would be, is the current map specifically created for this mod?

I ask this because i see a lot of people 'complaining' everything is to easy to find etc. Well as I played this mod for about 24 hours over the last week, i can say, as a new player it's not that easy, and making it even harder would make it an even bigger 'pain' ...

So what i wondered is, has this 'game' become so 'easy' for people because they know the map by heart? If they spawn do they just turn left or right and 'know' from the first city/town they come across where they are, and thus where to go from there to get X,Y,Z in the fastest and easiest way?

If so, than the game isn't to easy, some players are just so accustom to the map that they know it by heart, they don't search and find things, they just go somewhere to pick something up, and if it's not there they will just come back in 30min or so as it will be there then...

So for these people, no matter how 'hard' this game is made, this will never change, all a lower spawnrate accomplishes is that they have to wait a tad longer to get what they want, and seeing they already know where to go to survive that bit longer, it just gets more 'tedious' for them...

BUT, if the current map comes from the Arma game itself, and adjustments are minimal, then confronting these people with a new map means they will have to figure everything out again, they won't know where to go, and it's fairly likely the amount of 'its to easy, make it harder' threads will be greatly reduced...

yeah its the map mate :p i got fully sorted in under 20 minutes, AKM ammo, m19, survial gear, alice back pack etc :P

But its what people choose to do with that knowledge, kill newbs or join the medical team :P (like me) that makes the game interesting however i doubt they should change the map :P

Chernarus is an existing ARMA map.

DayZ, however, is portable and can be plugged in to any map.

I'm sure retail DayZ will have its own map, not Chernarus.

But to answer your overall point, yes, the game becomes much easier when you can recognize every town on the map by sight. You will get there eventually. Don't give up.

Tnx for all that info ZedsDB

Well i don't plan on getting there anytime soon, as from most peoples comments the game pretty much gets stale at the point you reach 'inhabitant' familiarity ...

Why I actually wanted to know is to perhaps have Rocket change the map, for say reaching 2.0.0 ... that way people that now think they are the bows will understand better how this game 'feels' for new players, and thus how frustrating it can be seeing people ask to reduce spawns for this and that, while they know the map by heart and thus just 'go and pick up some items' ... after about 24h of play over one week, i am fairly glad i can now distinguish 5 possible loot area's commen in most villages without having to knock on every door... and while i have been able to see the NWA on my map 2x (as i found a map 2x), i have yet to make it there to be shot by a sniper ...

So if this mod can run on any map, why not change it, i am fairly sure that some opinions on the game's difficulty change if players don't know their way around!
