jonneymendoza 10 Posted May 22, 2011 It looks like the island, if truly 1:1 scale, will be roughly 35x30km of land mass. I'm fucking STOKED for the island and I would pay 60$ for it alone, let alone all of the engine upgrades and new content that come with. Can a BIS Dev confirm the scale of the island, please? :) How large is that comppared to takistan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derbysieger 11 Posted May 22, 2011 Takistan is about 160km² if I'm not mistaken. Chernarus is 225km² and this Island will be even larger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damu 10 Posted May 22, 2011 How large is that comppared to takistan? It's 2,4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexVestin 24 Posted May 22, 2011 You're saying Limnos is somewhere around ~240km² ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
purepassion 22 Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) no, you take the size of takistan and multiply it by 2.4 which makes it about 380 km2 big ( if 160 is right for Takistan) Edited May 22, 2011 by PurePassion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roberthammer 582 Posted May 22, 2011 no, you take the size of takistan and multiply it by 2.4which makes it about 380 km2 big ( if 160 is right for Takistan) So the new map is 20 x 19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexVestin 24 Posted May 22, 2011 Oh, I see. My bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
purepassion 22 Posted May 22, 2011 yes. or maybe they push it to 20x20 but we'll see about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonneymendoza 10 Posted May 22, 2011 It's 2,4. wow! How large is The UK? can the UK be mapped in arma 3? well a similar sized map? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexVestin 24 Posted May 22, 2011 Can't that already be done as it is now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
purepassion 22 Posted May 22, 2011 @jonney haha not really the UK is about 244.000 km² big, so there is a huge difference making maps at the size of 10.000 km2 + just wouldnt make sence at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonneymendoza 10 Posted May 22, 2011 It would make sense for a MMO Arma 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damu 10 Posted May 22, 2011 lol arma 3 looks better than real life... It's not real life. :) It's Google Earth = satellite image mapped on top coarse polygon terrain. :) Real life is always more real than any game. Hope this will be always true. At least for me.

purepassion 22 Posted May 22, 2011 I have a question: Were you able to play a little bit with the possibilities of caves? I have a scenery like this in my mind which is actually taken from Lemnos http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/9771702.jpg imagine coming closer to the island with an ASTUTE sub and then switching to a smaller SDV. You silently approach to the shore and some meters behind it you disembark and swim the rest. You get closer to this sort of cave and break through the watersurface. All sounds get brighter and you see light reflections on the walls as you scan the area and approach unseen further into the island behind enemy lines. Goose skin? Those are exactly the scenarios that could make Arma III awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryhopper 285 Posted May 22, 2011 greece ey'? i forsee missions where EU soldiers has to bring tons of valueable transport ( our taxmoney ) to the banks, whitout being raided by the partisans ;0) It's not real life. :) It's Google Earth = satellite image mapped on top coarse polygon terrain. :) Real life is always more real than any game.

Trauma.au 10 Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) 30x35km in size :eek: oh plz plz be a complete island! Edit: I see it's a bit smaller, but how much smaller!? Edited May 23, 2011 by Trauma.au Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
purepassion 22 Posted May 23, 2011 about 20 x 19 so 380km2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carlostex 38 Posted May 23, 2011 How does Lemnos compare to Chernarus in size then? I would like to have even bigger maps, that would make flying fixed wing even more exciting. Can someone post in order the smallest to the biggest official islands in BIS history? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted May 23, 2011 How does Lemnos compare to Chernarus in size then? I would like to have even bigger maps, that would make flying fixed wing even more exciting. Read page 4 of this thread. You know... one page back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brute Force 10 Posted May 23, 2011 Well Lemnos is about 477 sq. km, Chernarus is 225 sq. km and Sahrani was 101.62 sq. km. Seems to nearly double each iteration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
