[@scouter1789]

@Edah I was thinking something like the missile base from Germany and the metro from Russia, an underground map with a relatively small horizontal floor plan but with an emphasis on vertical locations

[@nuedzka9641]

"Silent darkness" The whole map is based underground with multiple big caverns, each being centered around vertical movement, having different loot spawns such as one having clothes and civilian items, being the largest one, and the rest being centered around either farming or specific loot types such as guns, ammo, raiding equipment and crafting equipment. Zombies would be extra tough and would have above average drop rates, which would award players for killing them. The top of the map would be dark, like in the night of unturned while the bottom would be the same as going into a cavern with 0% brightness, sort of making a line between the top and bottom zone, where you'd only survive if you have a headlamp, flashlight, or nightvision. The higher tier loot spawns would be located in the bottom aswell, of course.

[@misiak6404]

[@chickenjoy8875]

I picture the maps chart would show the underground areas albeit the chart-map itself would be looking wrinkled and such (and probably very rare of a spawn), whereas the GPS-satellite map would just show something like a forest above (or whatever else you could think of that'd still be fair). Swapping the rarities of chart and GPS map items. Just a thought, it can make for some interesting gameplay.

[@Spebby]

(I somewhat disagree with myself now, some points still stand, but others don't. I'm too lazy to go in and rewrite this comment, but Elver (which was directly inspired by this video) has shown that a combination of some of these concepts can work) As a curated map maker (worked on Rio de Janeiro) I hear what you're saying, and I wish the Curated map maker community could do more to create interesting concepts. I'd love to create a map with a section that is on fire, like you suggested, however, the reason why stuff like this hasn't been added is due to Unturned being closed source. Modders cannot add any code to the game, and Nelson doesn't want to add any more content. Modders are forced to work with the same tools that we've always been working with. We can ask Nelson for some new minor features (which he usually adds after 2 or 3 months, that's what the majority of the last updates have been) but he won't go so far as to add new game mechanics like you're asking for. To give you an idea of what modders can actually add. Resources, (Bushes, Trees, Metal Nodes) Clothing, Guns, Ambience, (Background sounds), Animals, (This does not mean zombies) Objects and Effects. (Particle Effects, though also some sounds) As you can see, it's rather limited. We can definitely get creative, and a lot of people try to break the norm, but part of this lack of creativity is due to Nelson, some of the more outlandish maps (Like Candyland) are "Featured", and not actually officially supported. Nelson tries to keep the core game experience close to the Vanilla maps, Dango is so far the only exception. Curated maps are the only thing that is keeping Unturned alive at the moment, and we're trying to do the best we can to keep the experience at least somewhat interesting. For most of us, the creative process is what we enjoy most, not the gameplay of the map. Most mapmakers don't want to pump a load of time into a project that's not going to be played, even if that's not their primary motivation to make a project. As for your concepts; Metropila is interesting but ultimately flawed, a map like this might as well be an Arena map, as that is the only kind of gameplay this kind of map will ever receive. Most New players will be gunned down in an instant due to not being able to gain the necessary equipment to survive, due to early birds camping all the loot spots. Highway 51 shares the same problem, except it wastes space even more and exacerbates the problems I outlined with Metropila. Isles of Agony is very interesting, I think given the right execution this map could actually work, however, I highly doubt this due to how most players like to play the game. Most people would camp one island, and never move. They'd have all the resources they'd ever need, and very quickly get bored of exploration. It would become the ultimate base raiding simulator due to that being the only thing left to do besides getting shot. Water World shows the most potential, as gameplay like Subnautica could be introduced, however, it is not possible to make this map interesting without Nelson adding more content to the game. Animals currently cannot swim, meaning no aquatic animals could be added. No new zombies will ever be added to 3.x, meaning the player can just fly over them in the water. Some maps are looking into adding more underwater content in order to give the map a more lively feel, however, I don't think a map set purely underwater could be plausible/fun, most players would probably quit relatively fast. Worlds Apart would run into the same problem that the Driftless ran into, players would have no incentive or will to travel back to the other side of the map once they've crossed the sea, as they have everything they need on that side of the map. I'm assuming each side would have Civilian and Military loot? If so then that would cause players to never leave either side, if one side didn't have this loot then it would immediately put all players on that side at a disadvantage and would give players on the other side no reason to travel to that side of the map. When was the last time you headed further south than Moscow when playing Russia? Edit: Happy Holidays Manoman, I hope you don't take this as an attack towards you, I've posted this on the SDGforums, hopefully, some interesting points are brought up, here's a link to the thread. forum.smartlydressedgames.com/t/unturned-has-a-map-problem-manoman/13149

[@Miss_Larynx_Huntress_1082]

Azz Trees are very important

[@kristofferhaugstad7616]

The worlds apart could work if each of the sides had some resourse or equipment that is only avaliable on one of the sides. Like military gear on one side and ranger on the other. Or raw explosives only spawning on one side and grenades and glue only spawning on the other side.

[@owner_mind]

may I ask, why are you saying this to defend Rio, a map you made.

[@somerandomfoo1723]

Isles of Agony could most definitely work, if one island has all the military gear on the map, one island has the majority of food, another has all the map's ranger gear, another island will be a dead zone, and maybe one more will have all the miscellaneous stuff like construction loot and maybe a mine, which would be the only source of metal rocks on the map. This will mean your squad will have to choose which island to prioritize and set up on, and fight any competition on that island. For example say your squad fights to gain dominance over the military loot island, well in order to get a stable source of food youd have to either ally with or fight for control over the island with animals and farmlands. This could promote really interesting faction-esk gameplay.

I want to see an extremely mountainous map. A map where building on the apex of a mountain provides an advantage to those who build there, which results in the build spots being highly contested. There should also be large cave networks and mineshafts similar to rust, to provide a place for other groups to turtle their bases, hoping to fly under the radar of those fighting for the top of the world.

[@NotSnidge]

A “tier-based” map where everyone starts out at the edge of the map and has to work their way to the core using stuff like diving gear and gas masks, where higher tier loot awaits. The first tier is the very perimeter of the map, carrying very basic loot seen in farms and campgrounds, like bows and hunting rifles. The second layer contains all the stuff you would see in cities such as your typical gun store an police station weaponry along with a good amount of hardware. You can only access this by getting proper diving gear and surviving the long underwater journey through completely flooded tunnels. The third layer has all the goodies you would find at a military base with a mixture of military and ranger issued gear. The only way to get here is by going through a dead zone path, which there would be a lot of. But they’re all dead zones with a lot of risk (other than the radiation) and no reward other than passage into the level 3 zone. Level isn’t like the others, but rather a dead zone deep underwater, which is an underwater Scorpion-7 weapons development base that went abandoned, causing many bioweapons inside to go off and turn the whole base into a dead zone. The other experimental weapons that could be used remained and are free for the taking of anyone willing to make the journey. It is plagued by bosses but some seriously good loot spawns there, which is the loot that you can only find in airdrops-until now. You could find Devil’s Bane, Hell’s Fury, RPGs, and grenade launchers among other airdrop weapons in here. It has extremely great risk and great reward.

I have an idea, it’s basically: 2 cities containing multiple POIs, connected by an underground tunnel. Outside of these cities and tunnel, the entire map is irradiated. (As far as the player knows that is). Edit: You would spawn in one of the two cities which would contain areas to get gear to go out into the dead zone. The safe area would be the cities plus a small area around them, additionally, another thing could be NPCs which give you quests, such as finding certain items and they provide you with filters and maybe XP to buy off of vendor NPCs

Map in space! A space station with a new type of alien enemy or some sort of testing room where all the special zombies were created. It’d be completely filled to the brim with zombies but would be dynamic and you could close doors to stop them from going to certain areas. There’d be a boss zombie that could open doors and youd have to kill it before he did too much damage. The space station would be split in sections containing different things ie: an armory for weapons, Hospital for meds, recreational room for clothing etc. And they would be in a circle so you would have to travel through multiple ones to get to where you want to be. So the best ones would be further away so the infirmary and the armory would be opposite sides. You could find space suits and oxygen tanks to go outside the base into 0 gravity and fly to where you want to be instead of travelling through the station. There would be no zombies outside but you would have very little time to get where you need. This could honestly even be a little story mode for single player or co-op where you have to enable a bunch of things like solar panels and find fuel for an escape pod. The map would get pretty claustrophobic so a lot of windows will let you see players on other parts of the ship without being able to shoot each other.

The top of the mountain the Mount Everest would be a place with good loots. -Australia: Most of it(mostly in the West) would be a desert while one of the coners of the map(Northeast) would be a mountain while another one(Southeast) would be the place with the most cities. -Vietnam: Yeah, I know... But I' mean a jungle map with a few cities and villages wont be a bad idea. -Congo: The map is the same as the Vietnam one, exept there's a river flowing throught the map called the Congo River. Along it would be the most cities and the best spots to loot. And finally: Egypt: The map is a big desert. Along the Nile would have the rurest and most populated areas.

The top has several small and medium sized Boom towns but have a large amount of zombies in them. The ravine doesn’t have much in terms of loot but little to no zombies are in there. The caves are thin and posses zombie miners in them. But the caves also contain some good stuff to loot. Either stay in the Ravine where it’s safe but watch out for the caves.

A map with a city, but the most powerful loot is found in random caches on the other half of the map, which is wilderness and ruins. Once you pass into this wilderness you will only be able to use a bow and whatever armor you have. The city has regular loot and weapons.

[@realultraformerlyultranact6542]

a lot of small, cramped cabins scattered around the map with huge rivers and a middle lighthouse with a large FOV could offer a unique experience, as players rush at the tower and get picked off by snipers and automatics, with a lot of options to arrive to the middle and sneak in. huge, very tall office buildings with a ton of floors, varying in height and size with many items scattered in the remains of a great corporation with few bridges and a huge first floor with a small, or no outside world surrounded by fence could have a unique "rationing" style of play, or a kind of "capture and defend" style

[@BennysGamingAttic]

A team verses map with two small towns and wilderness separated by mountains. The wilds would offer building space and resources, while the two towns (identical to keep things fair) offer zombies to grind. The only way through the mountains would be several mine shafts that are super dark, and lots of corners and tunnels (to prevent camping). Also air would let you get over the mountains, and maybe add a single road with plenty of ruined cars or whatever. Make it a kill zone.

oh crap yeah

But it’s hard to first make a well balanced map then get it popular so that all of your work doesn’t go to waste.

[@thebritishempire4246]

I'd love a giant mountain and a cave system where no POIs are marked and you have to acitvely explore and find key areas.

[@dawnavic4735]

I remember working on a modded map but never finishing it, it consisted of two islands, one was a big island with two major docks and a city that would spawn civilian equipment, a walled settlement that long since fell, which would spawn a few military equipment, then a military base with a fallout vault, that was going to be a big pvp zone for good loot, the second island was a Russian safe haven that had walls of sihppping containers, a castle in the center, which would have spawned Russian equipment, the entire map had lighting effects where areas were flicking with lights and lots of aesthetic world building from wreckages

[@MrArgoth933]

Did you definitely dropped this project? :(

[@hoodiewaffles]

God damn I dont know how this ended up in my KZbin feed but I havent played unturned in years. It was one of my favorite games. Makes me sad how fast time has gone.

[@fadelraya2226]

This map contains of 2 layers the first layer will be a post apocalyptic world with a big city in the middle and in that city there are several secret way to go to the second layer (The secret way probably in building, military base) The second layer will be an underground city, which will be separated to be a several district like the flooding district ,the fire district ,the hazardous district And in order to get to those district you will need special equipment that you can get from the first layer

[@ianrumeau2786]

Central America: No big cities, only one long road that cuts the map in half, 3 or 4 towns, and you need to estay fresh to survive (lose healt if you arent in water or in a house)

[@dove-o-war]

You those map ideas sound sick af

[@walmartadine984]

Idea Map has almost no town areas less than yukon 1 small town 5-7 builds 1 pharmacy fire dept police and construction site and a grocer no roads and more animals spawns to focus on makeshift items

[@HereticJon]

A southern map that contains swampland, marsh and coastline with scattered buildings but lots of roads.

[@MadameMishka]

For almost a year now, I've been entertaining myself with a map idea somewhat similar to your Highway map, I just wish I had the know-how and the skills to actually create the map

[@opachki1527]

Its not all that difficult. Just hop in the editor and mess around a bit. Thats how I got into it. Tip: If you don't understand it, look it up. Don't spend countless hours being frustrated.

[@mattstat716]

Seclusion - A map where the best loot is in a secluded area, covered by a ring of mountains. There is only one way in - from above. There are also four towns in each corner of the map as well, with the top 2 towns and bottom 2 towns having an underground route. Three of the towns would have their own unique 'seclusion' gimmick. Top left = Fortified walls Top right = A moat Bottom left = Underground The bottom right is submerged in water, and the town that would be located there is nothing but underwater ruins.

[@chairamiah4858]

I remember back when Hawaii was released, I was kinda disappointed due to it just being another Russia clone. I had hoped that the map was going to be like your underwater/island map idea. I feel like the map never utilized the new boats that were added, and overall boats in unturned are extremely underused unless you were trying to go to the only interesting location that would somewhat require using a boat, the battleship dead zone, which wasn’t even all that good to be honest.

[@clover5796]

I know I'm late and whatnot, but hey! I love giving ideas so, Perhaps, a new turn to a zombie apocalypse-- making it feel like it isn't so alive. What about an outskirts of portland, the portland outskirts could be a huge huge interest point, but could be hard to navigate in, some areas are going to need gas masks, but farther from the outskirts lies a NPC town, which is made out of a underground mall, where NPCs can perhaps give you rescue missions, or retrieval of items. The map can also keep the PVP aspect, since the middle of the town of the portland outskirts only has a few radiation zones, but keeps itself good with buildings which you can get on, and a highway which is almost collapsed- and more! The map is themed to encourage you to use the crafting feature, to make makeshift weapons and contest other players, or parts of the map.

[@lrkrdufkihdhsjsdddk]

I really liked this video man.Merry Christmaz

[@Justin.mp4]

The Wilderness, a map that is Large sized that is purely a forest, with weapons, resources, food and other needed equipment is hidden around the forest, in either caves or small encampments. The map would encourage exploration, in order to have everything you'd need to travel vast distances and vehicles of any kind would not be possible unless maybe through an elaborate quest implemented. This would not be a map for those who have neither patience or time to sit down and work to survive on this map.

[@Gunneramma]

one of the maps earrape you when you join a server

[@arathemacaw]

A dense forest area that doesnt have any major cities; just smaller compounds and maybe campers or someting like chalets. The aim of this map would be to survive on a small amount of resources and use the crafting system more for makeshift stuff.

[@arathemacaw]

And the map wouldn't have real roads. Maybe a trail here and there, but not much. There maybe shouldn't be cars at all. You see, anyone can loot a damn military base and be good at pvp. But being good at looting and pvp isnt being good at surviving. This map would show who's the best at both pvp and survival. Perhaps the map could be as cold as yukon too.

[@dominatorandwhocaresanyway9617]

Large ovegrown metropolis with a huge park as the only wilderness

[@qaswasred]

Great video bro! I would love to see a map taking the style of the Hollywood hills in Los Angeles. With having the elevation of the valley being one of the big focuses of the map. With all of the rich people housing, and Hollywood Blvd as great places to find loot, I believe this would be a fantastic survival map. (Also throw in the ocean too because The Pacific Ocean deserves some love.)

[@paskantaja1083]

There could be a map where there is a valley stretching from centre east to South the southwest with an ocean in the southwest corner, the valley would get wider the further west it was. In the valley would be nearly all the points of interest, cities on the coast and farms and lodges and such in the eastern parts of the valley. It would also have a couple military bases. In the south and south east would be a pinewood forest without any points of interest and no roads and only some hiking trails. The deeper you would go into the forest the denser and more hilly it would get an the less trails there would be. There would only be some campsites, tents and small cabins. There would also be a few crashed airplanes and helicopters. On the northern edge would be a mountain range which would progressively get higher and colder the further north you went and there would be some cabins, a cave system that would also connect with the forest In some places and an underground military base which would be a deadzone. The special feature of the map would be that every 1-3 hours the sea level would rise for 20 mins which would either force the players into the higher parts of the forest or the mountains where they would need to have sufficient materials to survive. During the high tide ships might wash up along with other loot, but it would also bring out a very powerful zombie that would wander through the valley for another 20mins until it would return to the ocean. The large zombie could sense players from very far away and would release a swarm of all kinds of other zombies which would follow it and attack any players.

[@sri_shortbow7338]

My map concept would be a former battlefield with trenches, encampments and ruins everywhere. The map would be halved by some sort of nomansland where there is just nothing and the two sides would have completely different equipments (because of the two factions). The trick of the map would be that loot is abundant but the clothing would only have a small amount of storage, maybe that guns cant be reloaded but are commenplace. There can be some bunkers with immobile weapons which could be reloaded or maybe some guns you can carry in pieces like a raidin mg where you would need a tripod the gun and the ammo and craft it together to be placed. This idea could be expanded with things like mortars, cannons and the like. There would be some areas where there are hoards of zombies that have been striped of clothes by fire-bombing and just wait for someone to walk by to get mauled. There can be city's which are reduced to nothing but corpses of houses and all the streets are broken. Please tell me your thoughts and opinions on this.

[@dot2475]

First, MANOMAN UPLOADING UNTURNED AGAIN!. Second, I totally agree with the Unturned map problem and all those maps I would be so down to play I have 3000 hours now and I Don't agree more. Aswell if there was a map that was completely in one huge building almost the size of yukon and there is plenty of rooms and even deadzones. There are some windows and outside there was a nuclear explosion or even the moon there would be plenty of pvp and even maybe some small vehicles capable of going through the corridors.

[@RatBoyDunce]

Something like the infinite ikea scp would be fun to play in

[@grizzlyraidz]

A very vertical map with large cities and super tall buildings connected by like makeshift wooden bridges (I am pretty sure Nylex had something like this in one of his vids)

[@viirus1362]

It seems like people want more underground focused maps

[@tonypeppermint5329]

There's a map I have downloaded called Underground Survival. I haven't played it in multiplayer, however, considering a single gunshot will bring all the zombies running towards you, it's definitely a good way to shake things up a bit. I think a map based inside of a city walled off could work somehow, you just need a lot of planning.

[@Danaby2]

yess!!! how do i give reddit gold to a video!!!!!!!! ive been saying this shit to curated map people for years, to focus on a maps gameplay but then theyd tell me like but we have new guns and like npcs oh and look new tank!!!!!

[@SpartanS3M]

A giant cave system, point of interests are open spots where explorers have settled down but obviously the zombies have taken over which forced the police and later the militairy to take action which both failed leaving militairy and police outposts behind The map is very dark so you need some form of light with you, GPS doesn't work unless you're standing in pockets of light coming from openings in the roof of the cave

[@averagedude6688]

Map idea: Iran Every day some random city gets hit with a missile strike. Also the american embassies are deadzones. Not toxic, you just get sniped.

[@Fergusand]

And yet when Yukon got added people complained that is snowed 24/7

[@pilot_doggo]

I’ve been playing unturned since it was called dead zone and I’m not gonna be done until the game dies

[@blazerburner38]

seems pretty close

[@GeorgeCowsert]

Honestly, I feel like changing up the map design wouldn't really fit too well with Unturned's theme of being a zombie survival game set in a mimic of the real world. PEI, Washington, Russia, etc. are all real places with points of interest connected via roads. That's less of a fault of Nelson's map design, and more a fault of real life tending to have these sorts of patterns because it makes sense. Of course we'd make all of our points of interest easily accessible by road, since cars and trains are the primary way we travel long distances. I will admit that maps would be better if they had their own gimmicks, like Yukon, but I can hardly blame Nelson for giving us what we got.

[@sirrivet9557]

George Cowsert hmm I think some changes In how you get around would be a good way. For instance you could have jungles that primarily use rivers, and you have to parkour across jungle brush to small bases

[@dylanthornton3572]

[@korterkaks]

I'm not good at naming but I've always loved the idea of a map that connects everything with water, but there must also be boats (ofc), maybe a katana spawn, so ppl can rp as pirates and have a boat base and roam around the map only by boat and ofc rob some ppl and such. Being a pirate in survival games just seems so cool to me (ofc more like modern pirate not the classical one).

[@hansheiierium559]

I whoud like for someone to make something unique like few maps fused together (whitch whoud make a big map) but also forests, deserts,large body of water(like sea that splits map in two parts).For me the best idea are gigantic maps,like that you dont get bored and you always have what to explore.

[@nicolasreinaldet732]

A cave map where you would apend 95% of your time in a big cave complex. Or a mountain map. Builded around mountains and giving to playet the challenge of dealing with the enviroment.

[@popcornin]

I want to see an insane sized map, of the bay area in California, specifically San Francisco. The dead zone would be in the water due to radioactive waste being dumped there. Much like the underwater area in france that allows you to get energy guns, The sea would be scattered with them, adding in a tight area under the ocean and you wouldn't be able to swim out of a situation unless your at the entrance of an underwater area. I do know that zombies in Germany can spawn in the water, so they could only be found in the small areas in the sea. These areas would consist of Large Boats and Rigs. Maybe even toss in an underwater Zombie boss quest, like a zombified Zeus In a special area that's not underwater. And maybe instead of the same boring underwater gravel texture we could get a sandy texture with green moss in it. It would be largely city based with Overgrown parts providing trees evenly spread out in the city, and the Golden gate bridge would serve as a Coalition area of sorts, although it is a little big, and maybe the Base is made out of the scraps of the tourist cars there or something. Some parts of the cities of course dont spawn zombies, and loot like medicine and Ammo are scarce but spawns locations for them are spread out evenly. I was a little disappointed with the already curated California map, so that's why I got this idea.

[@verdragon5591]

1:20 Uhhh, I'm fairly certain we got that in France for the quest to get the Focus weapons. I know, I drowned trying to get 'em

[@svenyes4078]

Here’s an idea; An island map with random events. Sometimes, natural disasters occur, maybe a tsunami, in which case you have to head for mountains or other high grounds. Maybe a group of AI bandits have located you and you have to defend yourself from them. Or when your base becomes a victim of a flood, and when it passes, you have to repair the electricity and get rid of rust from metal placeables.

[@emilturangi7145]

If I would made something like "Isle of Agony" than I would put it in "winter mode". Players will strugle and try to stay in buildings what will provoke them to clash with other players. No armed vehicles, no quest giving NPC, only traders. Food mostly rotten, so you should rely on agreculture and water cans. No hospital players will find med stuff on sunken ships, but if they will be not so careful they can stuck and die. I hope someone liked this idea

[@DzDyT1]

Dantoriakatiak: a vast map with a normal landscape and human-built structures and items in the middle of the ocean. Besides having a normal terrain with normal buildings and items , it has an entire underground city that overlaps the entire map. Not only that there will be deadzones , but there will be some areal structures that only with underground gear you can get there, being a very big point if interest , but also needing good respiration management gear for looting there.

[@pewpew3377]

Abandoned: A map design based in the cold reaches of Canada. You would spawn in a campsite with a dead player in a biohazard suit at a spot off to the left of you. There would be little areas of lootable resources, thus making you have to makeshift weapons tools and other types of needful things. There would be a freezing effect where you would need to be by a campfire or have warm clothing (I.e plaid longslevee with some jeans and beanie or toque.) This effect would slowly freeze you to death until you have appropriate clothing or are by a warm area like a fire or a flare or inside a building that has the doors closed. There would also be a blizzard every in-game week, which drops the tempature, making freezing effects kill you faster, cause a blindscreen limiting your eyesight substantially and making encounters with other live things all the more terrifying, and it would cause all vehicles to jam up if not used for a while. There isn't any food found in the stores or houses to animals having picked it off before you got to that area, and all bottled drinks would have to be melted in a pot over a fire. There is a river with numerous tributaries sprawling from the main river allowing for clean drinking water. Points of interest: There would be numerous small campsites littered around the map with basic loot like headlamps, axes and flashlights and everything in between. There could be one to three small towns with one having a gas station making it a higher priority town and other players would either make it into a store where people barter things to get gas using things such as water, meat, ammunition, weapons etc. There would also probably be selfish players who would block off the entire thing making have gas impossible unless you have a pump jack. Might be a medium or marginally bigger sized town compared to the ones above, which might have a gun store, cars, gas station, mall, restaurants and this would make it top priority of the players view due to the military base having increased zombies and they all have more health. A Deadzone would cover the entire top left and in the far corner would be a laboratory with higher tech weapons (shadowstalkers, bigger bombs, and just beefier guns, along with better armor and other useful things to help you with fights and going against zombies.) Seeing as how this is a deadzone there wouldn't be and bases made inside and there would probably be tons of markets making a deal on necessities given by adventurers going into the deadzone for loot and in exchange filters and gas masks, some of which could have been used making it a scam and then have people use low filters. A military base with chances to spawn a gas mask along with filters for it so you can venture out to the deadzone, and there would be some lower tech weapons such as regular firearms like the heartbreaker or peacemaker. There would also be vehicles here and chances to spawn a helicopter. Basically Olympia military base but remodeled. Finally there would be frozen lakes which would make for great PvP fights from long range. Zombies: There wouldn't be to many around due to the desolate nature of the map, but they would usually be found in groves at the lab in the deadzone, and be tougher to kill at the military base for obvious reasons, and there would be the normal zombies at the campsites and the towns. There would also be a mega zombie at the laboratory and chances for one at the military base. Vehicles: There would be obvious vehicles to use in the snow which would be here like snowmobiles and snow cats, like the ones in the old map, the Yukon. There could also be some regular sorted cars like vans, sedans, and trucks but not many because of their unreliability to do well in heavy snow. At the military base, like I said, there would either be a hummingbird or a transport helicopter. There would be military snowmobiles which just would have more armor. The Animals: This one I'm not going to spend much time talking about because you know which would place lower or higher in the animal hierarchy. Bears would roam around the entire map making everywhere unsafe besides the frozen lake where bears don't go. Wolves will be in packs of up to 5 depending on the amount that had spawned and they would be put loosley around the forests and be put in higher concentration around the cities and interests. Deer, elk, moose would all be sources of food and they would be your only source as a matter of fact, (also wolves and bears and fish) , and since they are these will be mainly put around the entire map but would usually be by frozen lakes and larger plains as well as rivers. Then we have the Deadzone animals and all they are the wolf and the bear but with red/orange eyes and are not edible unless your willing to sacrifice 10 immunity for 20 food, which would only be when it's cooked, and when raw it's 40 immunity for 10 food. There would also be some fish in the river which is fine and edible and the species would be trout, Pike, salmon, and a Pollock. The main points making it not a normal map: The map would be snow covered, and pretty barren and the main things making it much different from the main maps would be the fact that there isn't any regular canned or human made food, and you have to go hunt for it, the freezing effect, and the mutant animals. EDIT: Fixed spelling errors and Grammer errors but I am on mobile so thats expected.

[@TheFuri0uswc]

Las Vegas, the map is inspired by spec ops the line where las vegas were destroyed by massive Sandstrom. roads are mostly unusable and the player has to keep cool or risk dying on thirst or heat stroke. During the night it become cold and you must seak heat. Some sandstorms come and destroy or damage player structures. Animals are scare and so is water, there could be area 51 that's a dead zone where all good tier loot is. There are no farms and you must use grow beds to grow crops which are rare spawns. There are military convoys where you can find scattered on what remains of roads. Nellis AFB is the local HQ of the Collation and Bellagio is HQ for a looter faction.

[@breadmaster3282]

What about a map called like, '4way' or something that consists of 4 areas of the map each area would have little NPC Camps that want the other camps dead sort of thing, and you can side with a nation. The areas would be like, A Massive city, with decent loot but tons of zombies, in the city there would be a lot of focus on electricity and in the very middle would be an electric boss inside the power plant. This area has more Acid spitter zombies as well A burning forest, constantly on fire in the middle would be a burnt down small town, where a fire zombie boss is, the area has more fire zombies than normal A broken up set of 3 islands, under the islands is the sunken ruins of an ancient civilization, the zombies would be able to swim and stuff, the boss for this one would be a new boss, im not sure what it would do. And A relatively mountainous area with a village set up on the cliff sides, in a cave at the top of the largest mountain would be the earth boss (the one that jumps up and down to create shockwaves) Each area would specialize in a type of loot, to get all the high teir stuff you would need to go between all of these areas. Each area also has a tiny deadzone, a seperate facility or something similar. Most of this is probably not possible with the tools map makers have currently but its a neat idea I think

[@fraynevliegenthart6112]

[@ricko1747]

Map idea: tigris and euphrates. The map has an overall Middle eastern vibe to it. The major points of intrests are all around the two rivers that can be crossed by using a boat (Whether you get to pay an NPC to get there, buy one or actually build one yourself). Away from the two rivers you can find several military outposts in the desert alongside with some small urban centers Map idea: Skyline Same as the metropila but the players all spawn on the roofs where they can trade with NPCs (Buying weapons, food and stuff). And the best loot can be found on the ground.

[@pegasaurisrex9707]

Anyone remember that really old skylands minecraft survival map? It was first released in 2010, and was just a map of floating islands. There was something like 10 regions in the map, each being totally different and unique from each other. One was a volcano, there was a forest and desert, and so on. The coolest part of the map was that all of the islands were unconnected. It was up to the player to create their own connecting bridges and structures. I feel like a unturned map similar in almost every way could do really well. Especially if they kept the sky aspect.
