I wonder why some of the map has the blue shading on it though... There must be something there which they don't want to reveal yet.
If it is the whole game I'm not surprised they don't want to reveal it yet. Even though we can't see much at this resolution.
Very true... Is it possible that the top half is Africa? It looks more like cloud covering half of the map but maybe this is 2 maps stuck together...

Afghanistan is a big place.

[Big Boss]
Yeah, I know 4000 square miles ;)

[Ocelot]
Yeah, I think you've been asleep too long John :D It's 2.5 square miles ;)

[Big Boss]
No, it's 4000, not 2.5!? Who would make a point of saying "It's a big place" and then make it 2.5 square miles? The map says 4000m, surely that's miles not meters? 4000 is a small percentage of the whole size of Afghanistan. I realise that it wasn't going to be the whole country, but 2.5 square miles?

[Ocelot]
What!? Hold on...hello, can I speak to Mr. Kojima please...hey Kojima San :) It's Ocelot...yeah your creation...yeah he's doing alright, he's about to rescue Kaz...anyway, one question...this Afghanistan map, how big is it...4000 square...square what?

[Kojima]
Staff!!! I've made a "slight" miscalculation...
If the game is 4000 square miles, it would take at least a year to find everything...

2.5 miles squared is smaller than GTA3.

4000 square miles would not be unprecedented.

Well, if it is 4000 square miles, then it would be huge. But by looking that photo on previous page, the size with previous games are little off since GZ is only approx. 250 square meter play area - unless that red dot is the whole, original GZ area that can be spotted from hacking YouTube videos.

Well, Kojima served me a huge plate of crow, and im gonna eat it.

The scale is friggin HUGE, hyped as fuck about the gameplay now, the only thing i hope is that the game is not broken without the bullshit mechanics, i hope they fix the alert system in TPP, it need more work.

Karma's a bitch, huh? Fucking hack

It's just the sky layer and ground layer overlapping creating that greyed out look.

I wonder how much of the game will take place here. I'd expect this, a jungle and maybe a few smaller areas like the hospital. How many maps can they really put in the game that are this big with a good number of things to interact with and all while making it look this good? It's impressive.

I'm pumped!

Frankly, i think kojima is lying about the size. Even he isn't, i don't care. I'm worried about the of the story. Kojima owes us that much because GZ was short as hell.

Sorry if I disappoint you but they might keep mission selection for replays if they are going to keep the score & trial system from GZ. But I see what you mean by that, I only want to see mission selection for completed missions.

Yong Yea said the map size was just for Afghanistan, and not the entire game....

Perhaps he is just speculating?

I don't mind mission replay, but like I don't want to have to go into mission select everytime I want to start a mission, I want it to be like Assassins Creed/Elder Scrolls where I can activate missions organically within the map.
Plus, for the love of god give us some side stories, not just missions and score trials.

I agree with you there. And I would love to see some side stories as well as long as they're not too long. It would be weird if there's only main story and side ops for challenges.

Looks like its just Afghanistan to me. The grayed out area is just clouds, look carefully and you'll see the same landscape continues, though grayed up.
You too have known loss, and that loss torments you still. You hope hatred might someday replace the pain, but it never goes away.

The English version Has confirmed that the whole map is the Afghanistan and half of it is blurred by the clouds because they didn't want to show it.
I'm really blown by the size but I hope that there is other maps like Africa with a jungle setting. Anyone remember this:

It's not incredible. It's 2.5 square miles of underwhelming disappointment :(

I didn't hear them say it directly but they said it continued into the distance but behind a cloud layer, so it implied it's all the same place.

It could be that there's only 2 big maps after the intro mission, a Middle East one and an African one, it'll be interesting to see if they show a good look at any of the other map(s) in the trailer.

It's 200 times bigger than any previous game for Afghanistan alone. Nothing underwhelming about that.
