Sharlandra 3 Posted August 15, 2012 Have not stumbled upon another forum post asking this or any hard evidence to answer this question I have, so here it goes. I play with a few other people and we tend to stay together, and sometimes, one of us will happen across a map or a GPS. They really come in handy, but it seems that after we get a GPS or map, people tend to find us much easier, or we just get super bad luck, and by people, I mean choppers who start hovering over the bush we are hiding in to light us up. Does having a map or GPS allow other players with a map or GPS to see you on their map/GPS? If so, is this dictated by distance, last seen, or does this not happen and it is all pure coincidence and bad luck? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
resin_ 97 Posted August 15, 2012 If you are not on a veteran server, yes, people can see you if you make noise. In my experience though, the map and GPS show zombies frequently as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

void.false@gmail.com 300 Posted August 15, 2012 When you have a gps, it places flashing marker on your location on the map for other players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharlandra 3 Posted August 15, 2012 Hmmm, so would you rather have a map or a GPS? From the last comment, seems that GPS is like waving your dick around on the map, and the map, any negative things for that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChiefMasterKush 321 Posted August 15, 2012 Some regular servers have a setting that shows things on the map. But you still have to be very close and/or making lots of noise (shooting).Could it be that you get careless when having maps? and just start running in straight lines and stop using cover?

One of us had a map, so he chucked it thinking that was how the guy found us in the middle of nowhere. But, I guess we just go unlucky, and were being kinda silly at the time =P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChiefMasterKush 321 Posted August 15, 2012 Well the fact that YOU (or someone in your party) has a map has no affect on whether someone else with a map can see you. Just play on veteran servers or servers that don't show things on maps. Then you will know that is has nothing to do with holding a Map (Mountain Dew) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
