Poncho Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 So browsing around I found this beautiful screen of ArmA 3 Chernarus+ http://imgur.com/r/arma/OwdyCC1 Having watched a few videos and flicking through some more screens I have to say that it is absolutely amazing, especially when compared to vanilla Chernarus. The added content makes the map so much more diverse and interesting (so don't worry all of you tired of ArmA 2 Chernarus). Is this the map we have to look forward to for ArmA 3 Epoch? I hope so, but if not, it matters not. The ArmA 3 Engine runs so much better, it is far more optimized that the frustrating ArmA 2, and far more attractive all round. Looking forward to the graphical improvements along with all the other developments A3 will bring :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g0at Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 I'm fairly certain this will never see a release to the public. Lol with BI's new Terms of Service with created content, I'd say it's already been flagged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 They (BIS) said Dayz names and code can't be used, from my understanding the plan is for the Epoch Devs to come up with something different and their own code :) There's money to be won in the make arma not war contest.

i76 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 im sick of Chernarus. Ready to play Epoch on Altis. Play on the Sahrani island, its from Armed Assault (or ArmA) and its a beautiful map... back when BI had its creative flare before they started using google maps to build their islands, Poncho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uro Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Thats not the Arma3 engine, thats Dayz, which uses the Take On Heli's engine, which is a heavily modified A2 engine. Chernarus actually looks better than that in the A3 engine, take a look at the pics in the following link http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?169787-A3CM-ArmA-3-Chernarus-Mod All the A2 maps have been ported to A3, by a community member, with BIS' permission. :D Should download them, loadup the F18 and go for a fly around :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbawol Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 The goal of A3 Epoch will be the same as it always was, we will support every map as they are released by the authors. axeman and NorthyPark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poncho Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Awesome vbawol, its great to know the support is there. I just wish I knew which map you guys were going to start on first. Obviously you need a base to build the code up on. I would just love to find out what it is. If it is a new map you are designing specifically for Epoch, great and forget I asked, but if it is a map that is already out there, and available, I would love to know so I can jump in and start making some map edits.

It will be Atlis for sure as their starting map. Why would they use anything else. Atlis is perfect for a mod like Epoch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValdisMD Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 It will be Atlis for sure as their starting map. Why would they use anything else. Atlis is perfect for a mod like Epoch There is a reason developers of original DayZ picked Chernarus as a main map. I assume game is aiming to get something like s.t.a.l.k.e.r. experience but zombie related. And Altis will make it look like Dead Island dayz style, IMO. Plus Breaking Point uses Altis in their mod for Arma 3, taking this map would be like agreeing that Altis is a best map on arma 3 for dayz related games, not true the map is pretty ugly comparing it even with good old Chernarus.

Tobias Solem Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Unfortunately we cannot use Chernarus+ together with Arma 3, I spoke with Dwarden about this, but he was clear - regardless if we have purchased Arma 3 AND Standalone we are not permitted to use Chernarus+ outside of DayZ:SA. He also said that this may change in the future, but for now, no.As for Arma 2 maps in Arma 3, personally I think they look like crap, regardless whether they have HD-textures.

Brez Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Altis is good in one way.. It's design. I find the terrain is way more life-like. The ground has variations in it that closely resemble more realism than ported A2 maps that have lack that life-like quality and have evenly flat ground with very few variations/depth. Other than that Altis is one big sand pit but maybe that's how that terrain is. I've love to see some A2 maps completely re-done with some of the qualities that were done in Altis. Keep them the same in general layout but update them with some of the techniques that went into Altis would be absolutely stunning in my opinion and put those old maps on a whole new level.
