The terrain is downscaled and further edited to suit our goals. In Arma's lore, it forms part of the Maldenian Islands, together with Everon and Kolgujev. Malden is a 62km2 large rocky island based on Lefkada, situated in the Mediterranean sea. In the end, as we could not transfer some ideas from Argo to Arma 3, we actually ended up with two Maldens, one for Argo and a second version for Arma 3 ( although the differences are small, and most players won't notice!).

It might not be visible at first, but to finish Malden 2035 up to Arma 3 requirements took us almost a year.

As we try to keep our terrains close to reality, we had to fill Malden with traffic signs, verge poles a nd powerlines. Our department had to finish the large seabed and countryside areas, which, because we didn't use them for Argo, were flat and empty.

A decision was made to invest more time and energy, polishing the whole island up to Arma 3 standards and, finally, release the terrain to the community. When our QA department decided to import and test Malden 2035 in Arma 3, we were pleasantly surprised by the results. If you haven't heard about Argo yet, it's our new free game, featuring 5vs5 PvP combat - you can learn more about it on the official website.Īlthough Argo's locations were carefully designed for PvP, they were still mostly compatible with Arma 3's sandbox requirements. We spent more than a year developing Argo’s locations, and left the door for an Arma 3 version open. Malden started as a free-time project by Ivan Buchta more than four years ago and when Jarek Kolář and Lukáš Haládik began experimenting with PvP combat, Malden was offered to them as testbed terrain. I n this OPREP, we'd like to invite you backstage of Malden's development. We've added new places, structures, and our approach was very different from the creation of our previous terrains.

It's not just a simple recreation of the classic terrain, though. It might sound familiar to our veteran players, as Malden was one of three islands in our first game, Arma: Cold War Assault. Terrains have always played a very important role in our games - and a recent Dev-Branch update has brought you a new one: Malden 2035.
