The main idea here, besides building huge virtual spaces with deatailed vegetation, vehicles, buildings and unlimited ways for parkour, was to have only one copy of each map running on-line at the certain period of time. Providing only one "portal" to that virtual place at the same time avoiding multiple universe paradoxes.
So just like in reality if you want to be in chosen environment you are going to meet other people who are already there or will join you the same time of the day.
This was the only way to make it seem realistic unlike in situations when you can run each map on your own and explore it alone without even meeting other people who are exploring the same map, using the same vehicles paralellelly and making stunts at the same time, but havin fun off-line or on private individual server.
This project was off from time to time because of many reasons but is still playable in 2020's, after 12 years, just for those who really care about this kind of open Crysis 1 multiplayer experience. It has to be admited that this can be a little boring for users without certain level of imagination or those without creative explore, jump, fly, drive and stunts ideas. Though it's not for those who require fast mutipayer actions and regular fights on with dozens of players. Here you can have fun alone or with 1-3 friends - and it's perfectly enough. Still it's worth of trying at least once even for regular fighters - just to meet interesting people, have some nice conversations and relax after hard days at school or at work.
To enjoy the basic version of Maps Explorer Project all you need to do is purchase legal copy of Crysi 1 Multiplayer and download the multiplayer connector client. Then find servers with MapsExplorer.com name and join.
