FC2 and FC3 map size ?

[durian]

I'm wondering which game has bigger world or they have the same size ?

[PZ]

Not sure, but I think the FC2 world is 50 square km, and the FC3 world is much larger

[Art Blade]

all I've read indicates that FC3 is huge. Then again, so was JC2.

PZ is right about FC2's map = 50 square kays (both districts put together). I don't now how big FC3's is, but I'm sure it's significantly bigger than that. I too have read that it is, and it certainly seems to be.

ditto - I've not seen stats on the absolute size, but it was easy to drive from one end of the map to another in FC2.  The road system seems to be way more extensive in FC3

Hmmm, looking at the guide, they have a scale, and it looks like about 7.5 x 7.5 Km including the water.
But it sure feels bigger, maybe the scale of FC2 wasn't as real as we thought.

[PZ]

Is that for both northern and southern island combined?

[DKM2]

yeah, seems so

[PZ]

Wow; sure seems like it is much larger when you're moving about

FC2 was huge on paper but in reality, it felt small as there were a lot of invisible walls and we couldn't climb on many mountain whereas in FC3, we can virtually go to anywhere, get on top of any mountain wihthout much trouble. On a side note, it's funny that the mercs in FC2 could sprint just about 20 meters and get tired, vision gets blurry but Jason can sprint infinitely not to mention faster ;D

Good observation; I had not thought about that, but that does tend to make the game feel larger.
