CHFlanker 0 Posted December 1, 2001 On a vacation last year i was on Teneriffe. And now i recognised that the outline looks identical to Kolgujev. of course it's a bit bigger and there are not so much military bases (i found one). Are the other islands existing in Real life too?

PolariZ 0 Posted December 1, 2001 Just to make you aware of it, Kolgujev is north of Russia. It is a little island, and not too unlike the one in the game. Nobody have found the other islands in real life though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EveronVetsAgainstTheWar 0 Posted December 1, 2001 There's a Malden, Massachusettes lol http://www.ci.malden.ma.us/ (Edited by residuum at 1:40 pm on Dec. 1, 2001) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHFlanker 0 Posted December 2, 2001 Kolgujev? Didn't see it can you tell me the coordinates? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PolariZ 0 Posted December 2, 2001 70°N/60°E Hope that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyanide 0 Posted December 2, 2001 it's not that small, actually: almost 80x80 kilometres... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PolariZ 0 Posted December 2, 2001 I find that quite small. Besides, I think it is more likely that BIS took the name than the island. And if they did, it was probably resized and reshaped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MotherRussiaAK74 0 Posted December 2, 2001 Evern is a city in France. Theres a Malden island in the Marianas. Heres a link where you can have a look at Ostrov Kolguyev: <a href="http://www.mapplanet.com/ix/?O (Edited" target="_blank">http://www.mapplanet.com/ix/?O (Edited</a> by MotherRussiaAK74 at 7:21 am on Dec. 2, 2001) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted December 2, 2001 There is a Houdan and a Dourdan in France as well. Yes, Kolgujev is Tenerife: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHFlanker 0 Posted December 2, 2001 Kolgujev (Kolgujew, Kolgoujev or Colgujev) is on 69° 30' N 50° 00' E Tenerife (Teneriffa or Ténériffe) is on 28° N 18° W (Edited by CHFlanker at 3:18 pm on Dec. 2, 2001) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandman 0 Posted December 2, 2001 Oh my god!!! Its right!! Kolgujev is Teneriffe. I was there on vacation this summer and i havent thought about it until now...ofcourse...Kolgujev is Teneriffe...it a perfect match. And it was ALOT of Russians on Teneriffe....or was it Brittish people...I could never tell them apart... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PolariZ 0 Posted December 2, 2001 Ok, so Teneriffe is the terrain for Kolgujev. Ostrov Kolgujev gave name to the modified Teneriffe. Then we have an island called Malden, which might have given name to the modified terrain of Ostrov Kolgujev..... Just a little brainstorming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kegetys 2 Posted December 2, 2001 Kolgujev is indeed mapped from Tenerife... Here's a pic where the real Kolgujev island is located at: Im living right there at Finland... Everon is mapped from Krk island: Check http://www.multilink.hr/krk/tzok/english/ for more info Im not sure of Malden though... Malden island does exist but it doesnt look much like the one in OFP.

Havelock 0 Posted December 2, 2001 Hey ... I spent a night on Krk a few months ago ... never new it'd be a model for Morton. (Love that Croat spelling .... I was driving to Trieste the next day ... only of course it was spelt Trst on the road signs. Where were they when the vowels got handed out.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stealt Eagle 1 Posted December 3, 2001 Everon hasn't been mapped after Krk. Island, it looks a bit like Everon but it ain't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PolariZ 0 Posted December 3, 2001 True. At first it doesn't look like it, but when you look closer you see it. Just compare details. Krk = Morton Island South of both Krk and Morton Area around Punat is very much like in the game. (East of Morton) And you should easily recognize St. Pierre. Airport in the North of the island, with similar surroundings. No doubt for me at least. Good spotted Kegetys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Konyak 0 Posted December 4, 2001 They moved the island SW of the island to the NE. Now then, what island is Malden based on? These two are both in the Mediterranian sea, so perhaps Malden isn't too far away. Did your source say anything about that Kegetys? And does anyone have any pictures of the valley on Kirk, down by St. Pierre? Fun to see the real place. Might have to go there one day Konyak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Havelock 0 Posted December 4, 2001 I was only there for a few hours, but the landscape is typical Adriatic. Dry, lots and lots of rocks, etc. Looks NOTHING like the OFP version. The real Krk is also, of course, a lot bigger. I have a road atlas of Croatia map, but it's in the car at the mo. (I have maps that stretch from Scotland to the Urals in my car ... well you never know! I drive past road signs to Vienna (Becs in Hungarian, for some reason), Zagreb and Ljubljana every morning.
