large town/cities?
the one thing about this great moddable game is..the lack of large built up areas.
i was playing GTA5 pc version.last night and was playing a brilliant zombie survival mod. and got to thinking.if only Arma 3 had some major built up areas.instead of the small villages dotted about.who knows maybe next expansion may include a us/eu area with a big cities map.instead of the islands we have had so far.which mean small villages.
whats everyone elses thoughts on this?...love the game by the way,just wish it was a bit more adventerous with the city mapping.

The Fallujah mod has a big city which is pretty cool.

There is a reason why they dont really do big cities...and it's fps.
Can you imagine a large scale multiplayer game in a big city? Framedrops everywhere 😂😂

not sure about that some re-jigging of your settings would sort that out!.
to be honest its the only thing i like about GTA5 [pc version],the huge map area majot cities towns etc etc plus it looks very good with all your settings ramped up.
it would still be worth a go i think :)

im lucky i have a bit of a ninja pc so i should think i would be ok.
I recomend the Mogadishu map. Whilst the Fallujah map is probably the biggest city around, it is mainly made up out of small one or two-storey buildings which are for the most part unenterable. Although the Mogadishu map is slightly smaller, almost all of it's buildings are enterable, and it has dozens of huge apartment complexes, amongst other things.

Zargabad has a nice size city, with an airport, if you are into a more middle-eastern look. Otherwise the Tanoa map has the port city of Georgetown, which is a modest sized modern western style city, but no airport.

Because in a large city and with many AIs, you'd literally get under 10 fps. If people complain now about performance in towns, imagine what'd be like in a large city. Maybe under Enfusion engine more objects at a better fps will be possible but still don't expect trully huge cities.

Check out Seattle map though, it's the largest city map BI ever made (for Take on Helicopters, but was also ported to ArmA 2 and now 3 by modders):

Seems like they're still working on it (the ArmA 3 port).
