How do the 3D spaces used by different people online in DayZ reflect their interests & personalities?
The 3D spaces of DayZ are divided by the type of map in which the player wants to play on. Currently there are nine alternate maps: Chernarus, Celle, Fallujah, Lingor, Namalsk, Panthera, Takistan, Utes, and Zargabad. Each has distinct features that are unique to each map.
Chernarus is the largest and oldest of all the maps containing more forests and limited high military spawn points. Celle is a small island covered with residential buildings and spawns pushing players into close quarter combat. Fallujah is a massive desert with limited residential spawns and very large and high military spawns pushing players into open combat. Lingor is a tropical island with decent spawn points pushing players into jungle and vehicle combat. Namalsk is a small frozen wasteland with high military spawns and low food spawns. This map pushes players to the temperature and food limit resulting in a bloodbath from all players. Panthera is a semi jungle/desert island with great spawn points around the entire map. On this map players engage is fights where the player with high ground has the greatest advantage. Takistan is a desert map with small packets of forested areas. This map pushes players to the major military spawns to keep the map as active as possible. Utes is a small residential island. This map strips players of the many easy residential resources pushing them towards constant contact with other players, resulting in the bloodiest map around. Zargabad is a desert map with many residential and military spawns. This map pushes players to gear up quickly and awards the best, or luckiest, player the most kills on this PvP map.
Each map has certain types of gameplay which attract a certain type of gamer to the mix. Friendly players usually steer clear of PvP and small maps to avoid the constant pressure of having to kill or die from other players. Large scale maps provide players with many opportunities to try and survive the environment and avoid other players. This also allows players access to the many vehicles and other major rewards that take time to build.
There is a map for every type of DayZ player. There is no right one or best one to play one. There is only the map on which the player has the most fun. Play them all and decide for yourself!
