The War Z's Colorado map size detailed

Yesterday, Executive Producer Sergey Titov fed the forumites of brewing open-world zombie MMOFPS The War Z with a duo of screenshots exhibiting the expected scale of a map codenamed "Colorado."

It's still early for in-depth speculation, but The War Z's DayZ overtures are obvious, and they suggest that it aspires for a large-scale emergent experience in the same vein as Arma 2 and its mod. What we do know so far -- 250-player capacity, regular and free content updates, player-run servers, and so on -- speaks of Hammerpoint's grand ambitions. It's natural to wonder if those ambitions are too grand, but a clearer picture of the studio's capabilities should emerge as we get more details. Now to just train myself to stop accidentally writing "The Day Z."
