Is there only 1 'world' or 'zone' map?

Hi guys i am pretty new to this game and so far i am loving it, but i have a question about the overall size of the world.. To me it seems kind of small, from the start i have aleady covered maybe 1/8 or so of the terrain on the map and have only done a few things (i have barley started the main mission). This seems a little small to me...Is there more than 1 zone/map? I am not knocking the game - i just thought that from the way people were talking about it, that it was alot bigger game world...:)

It's not a really big world (nowhere near ES games), but if you're still in the first area (Zaton, the swamps with the Skadovsk icebreaker), then there are two more of similar sizes (the second one probably being the largest. All three are quite different environments and they are very detailed (still look very good, especially with AS, AN and AF3 texture/foliage/weather mods). Few medium-sized, underground labs on top of that.

Previous S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games felt bigger (map sections were a smaller, but there was a lot of them). Once you're done with vanilla, you can always download SGM 2.2 which ports all the old areas into CoP quite seemlessly (there's a lot more to explore and a ton of extra things to do).

Ah ok cool - that answers my question to perfection and puts my mind at ease, cheers :)

Get back to us if you decide to play the smg 2.2 mod. It requires you uninstall complete and re-install CoP and other small tweeks.
