Woah! Nice

I cant remember where I saw this, but these pictures remind me of someones idea that was posted about a "Level 50 only area"

This could be intresting

Keep up the good work Devs!

It looks like You have to HJ to each Island to get somewhere... would also be nice IF that's where they'll be putting the Zombies as NPCs.

NOW THAT WILL BE...

EPICZ!!!

Well... I don't see the barge anywhere around there, though. Multiple new areas?

Meh...  this latest collection of pictures doesn't impress me, to be honest.  I fail to see anything 'epic' about a random broken piece of bridge out in the middle of nowhere, with some random oil lines thrown in.

I am excited about the possibility of a new area...  the barge had me very excited when I saw that.  But this just seems...  too random.  I just hope there's a reason to it, storyline-wise.  Perhaps this is a failed section of the Matrix?  Or maybe an 'under-construction' form of the next version of the Matrix.  Who knows?

I'll keep watching, though.
