Please put a new CHERNARUS MAP in final release... (or sometime in the future)
There's to much nostalgia to leave old maps behind :-)
Maybe adapt it so that it is an island completely surrounded by sea.
Only ARMA (OFP) can make a player feel like they have actually been somewhere and remember it as an experience.
I would also love to see the return of NOGOVA, EVERON, SAHRANI etc, etc... :-)
I don't mean straight imports though (I've tried that) I mean Actual legitimate ARMA 3 maps.
its possible to use AllInArma so that you get all maps in arma (who thought this could be that what AllInArma does ... yeah)
Through that you get really interesting pictures ^^

@X39 Yes as I said in the description... I've already imported everything from the previous games, but it would be nice to have updated (stable) versions :-)
Yes I did :-)
Read the last line, it says...
"I don't mean straight imports though (I've tried that) I mean Actual legitimate ARMA 3 maps."
All in Arma have already done this mate...
and a few others are working on porting these islands over.
Aah cool cheers matey :-)
Are they done with new high resolution geometry & textures or are they just the original models ported in?
No from me sorry. This is a new game, can't really have old things in new games. Just make it boring. They'll probably make another map like it.
I think the dev's shouldn't waste their time on porting old maps. Especially when the new maps are much larger, and I'd rather the art team work on making new, high quality stuff while the community can easily work on porting the old maps over and save BI time.
Asking for a bit much here. Dev's are probably overloaded by doing tasks like designing interiors alone..... asking for an entire map to be ported over would be a task that would (realistically) set BiS back to Q2 2014 if they were to seriously tackle it.
One of the few times I'll actually say this, but I think it would be appropriate for the modding community to take care of a task of this nature. Heck, if I'm not mistaken, they've already begun such a process. Might even already be done.
Upvoted: OFP gave me that instant paranoia, could be my neighborhood that turned into a warzone.
Making a map the size of Chernarus is a huge multi-year project, so asking for them to make an entirely new Chernarus for the final release is completely ridiculous.
You'll have to make do with the AiA version.
