Any chance for a Chernarus map?

[Njoi]

Basically the title...

I know several people have ported chernarus and chernarus+ to Arma 3 already. I personally love the map to bits and would love to see it implemented somehow. What do you guys think?

[Flosstradamus]

I'm pretty sure its copyrighted which is why you don't see any servers with the map being online. When that team ported dayz over to arma 3 and used the chernarus+ it was shut down

[Njoi]

So wouldn't the original Chernarus still be possible? It's still owned by BI.

I'm pretty sure it was shut down due to the name. You could always use Chernarus but add in your own stuff to make it a little more custom.

Pretty sure you wouldn't even NEED to add your own custom stuff. I'll do some more digging on the legality of it, but I really don't see it being an issue.

[CrazyCorky]

Well the thing you have to realize is that Flosstradamus said Chernarus+ which is the map used for DayZ SA. Cheranarus itself would not be an issue as that map was created by BI.

Realistically it would need to be included in the client files (like Napf) as separately it is a 4gb download and would confuse most players.

I get asked daily if Arma III Epoch will be on Chernarus.

Random fact - Servers without additional launch parameters are more popular.

[Creep]

Well as of now, players that are able to get into arma 3 epoch should be able to add the stuff needed to play on cherno ^^

 

What Iam asking myself is, if cherno could get ported, sauerland and napf should be able to get ported too 

[Wysper]

There is a game scenario called Doomsday night which requires a map pack that has an updated arma 3 version of chernarus. So yes it is possible. Yes addition launcher parameters are needed so you are correct sir.

A good sign the interest is there, I know several people who HATE the A3 maps, it could potentially pull more people from A2.

I think most people are just the type that they get comfortable with something and they don't want change.  But, when forced, most of them eventually give in and end up deciding they like it anyways.  Altis is a frickin beautiful map, it's just a lot different than Chernarus.  Chernarus has a lot of cover, and it would seem a lot of Epoch players like that because they're scared of PvP or they just want to avoid interaction with others.  It's either that or they've just been playing on the map for so long they know it like the back of their hand and they don't want to learn a new one... I don't know.

 

I always hated un-altered Chernarus for Epoch.  Most of the buildings were unlootable, most of the lootable ones were in the bigger cities.  That's the only real reason I hated it though, it's a very well designed map otherwise.  However, I like how open Altis is, I like being able to look around for people and see them coming before they're right up on me and take me by surprise.  And most of the hills are very widely spread apart.

[Bersa]

Get on with your NEW ALTIS LIFE becuz Cher,,,,is so burnt out to me i hope an pray it never becomes a map again !!!

[Njoi]

I kind of find Stratis too small and Altis too big, but it very well might just be me having a tough time adapting. I've had very few interactions with other players on the popular Stratis servers (even when full). Do the devs plan on increasing the player limit?

Also, why would you ever hope and pray for less options?

Exactly.  I'm sure, at least, Chernarus and maybe some others will most likely get ported and integrated into Epoch as they were with DayZ Epoch.  That is unless there are new maps that become more popular.

 

Someone told me the Epoch devs had plans to whip up their own map, but I never read that anywhere, so I don't know where it came from.  Someone probably just said something during a stream.  They would probably have to add someone to their team or just collaborate with someone experienced with map making.  Not that I don't think any of them could do it, I'd just imagine it would be very, very time consuming and they'll have a lot on their plate for a while.

 

Yeah, like I said before, I don't even think it's that Stratis is too small, it's just not a very dynamic landscape and it's underdeveloped.  I'm sure, in the future, you could pump some things into the editor to make it a lot more interesting, but I think it would still have to be for low-pop servers.  It's not even that great for PvP because it's like one big, rugged hill.

 

Altis really is big, but it is probably perfect for PVE servers or ones that are taylored for those who just want to be left alone to build their ghetto mansions.  I didn't like Altis at first, but I've changed my opinion of it over just the last couple weeks.  With the way things are now, I still run into people pretty often, even if I move further toward the outskirts.  I love being able to get up on a hill to scout kilometers of land around me.  I like the way the towns and roads are structured.  Oh, and the tall grasses that you can hide sht in, yeah baby.

I say move on! The current map on Arma3 are great to start with! You want to play cherno play Arma2! The space you have in both of these map are great! Time to create new maps and new WORLDS TO EXPLORE!

There needs to be custom maps, chernarus was too big and empty if the map had as many towns no matter how small comparitave to altis it wouldve been fine but the thing is no one wanted to go to the NWA when balota had everything that it did.  Then later green mountain.

[MGT]

Altis needs 100 players to fill it, signs of desync start creeping in at 40+ players

Stratis is too small

[ToejaM]

The stupidly funny thing about Altis and people, is that if you confine a mode to a portion of the map that is suitable for the numbers.. I.e if you cut off the right side of the map, people dont like it because they're not using the full map.. but then cry that the map is too big. You cant win with the population unless you physically remove things.

[Darth_Rogue]

Will it ever be supported "Officially"?  I doubt it.  But I'm sure the community will add it at some point.  Personally, I think that if Chernarus could get a redo with the Arma 3 engine that it would be super popular.  The problem I see with Epoch on A3 is the stock maps.  Altis is way large to get around in, especially on foot.  What's more, it's very open, which means that people will hesitate to make any decent sized bases on it because they will be very visible from long distances.  This is in stark contrast to Chernarus, which is very wooded and makes hiding bases and vehicles much easier.  As MGT said, Stratis is on the opposite end of the spectrum and is quite small for 40+ players.  A solution that falls somewhere in the middle (medium sized and a good mix of varying terrains) would be very welcome in A3 Epoch.

[SkyDogs]

In my opinion, big maps aren't a problem because a player can choose whether or not to frequent all areas on it. Take Napf for instance; the southern third is remote and bare compared to the north, and players tend to predominately frequent the midlands and north, thus cutting the size down imaginably. Yet the south can be utilised  if you so choose, the same can't be said for small maps.

I agree 100 percent. This isn't arma 2, arma 3 is a different game with different map. Get used to it

[Itsjustobvious]

Forget this thread they are not allowed to host the chernarus map on arma 3

[jimbotwix]

THERES NO ENTERABLE BUILDINGS!

[emwilsh]

a new map would be nice the size of sauerland mabey a little bigger, a combo map with cherno and some other popular maps conbined mabey namalsk a cold island infested with bloodsuckers and rare loot inthe corner of the map taviana for a few trader citys some close to the edgeof the map with the water surrounding the land and could lingor conect to cherno and tavianna as a jungle to cross with snakes and crocks and chernarus in the bottom left corner with some other bits to connect it all together  ii mean a motherload map a map for everyone to enjoy together

[aposnow]

i enjoyed cherno... but i think its had its time now in my opinion. one map i would love to see when it is released for arma 3 is harz with propper rivers motorways and just looks like it would be amazing! heres a link.
