Standalone maps

[itsalive427 2]

ok so in the standalone they wont be using chernarus (that's simply a borrowed map from arma2) i would assume there will be a new map. now i was watching a youtube vid just now about lingor island and got to thinking: if you can have two seperate maps and characters now, imagine what the dayz devs can do if they create 2 or even 3 seperate maps for dayz standalone! like in warz's approach you could start with the main map and then over time add these new maps and character slots either for free or at a dlc charge. this would keep gameplay interesting for extended periods of time since i personally can hardly stomach chernarus anymore (too bland its an eyesore after too long) so i have hope in lingor island. also for those who don't know of lingor island

there ya go.

Actually a modified version of Chernarus currently named Chernarus Plus will be in standalone, among other changes more buildings will be enterable, in the future more maps will be added. Lingor is very likely to be included at some point too.

The mod is going to become more open so hopefully we see some more community developed maps for the mod, succesful ones are likely to be taken and implemented into standalone at some point in the future.

Hopefully they will do some huge cityscape. Skyscrapers and everything.

i agree with both of the above posts and thanks smasht_AU for that info. il be looking into this chernarus +. couldn't be more excited to see some improvement in the gameplay catagory of dayz (after the more serious issues are fixed)

I'd love to see a swamp area in a future map, foggy swamp with possible zombie lurkers in a forest at night would be very atmospheric.

I want the map to have different bio's. kind of like mine-craft. but not as many, just a snow/mountain area to the N and in the south will be foothills/ open plains/ and swamps

towns scattered threw out it =p

Swamps and marshes to wad thru would be amazing. Foggy all at dawn. Yum yum yum. I hope the cities are also a lot bigger

Aaand loads of new islands that are actually useful

They will be using at least 1 map called chernarus plus, which I assume will rely heavily on the layout of chernarus. you can read about it in Rocket's AMA.
