I came across this, It couldn't go in as news but I think most will find it of interest.

The whole world as playground - This is the idea behind the new engine called Outerra.
It promises seamless rendering, traveling from outer space and way down to the inches of grass anywhere on the planet, travel across the seas, and vast mountains to explore the whole world in this new and innovative engine. Outerra is a small independent game studio based in Slovakia, founded in 2010 and driven by developers with a common interest to create a complete, planetary scale virtual environment for future games and simulations.
This is no joke they have modeled the entire planet! Outer space to centimeter resolution!
Damn I thought that BIS was was indulgent giving ArmA:2 a whole country for you to play in. First time I have ever looked at the 220km2 sized maps in ArmA:2 and thought they were confining! Looking at the level of detail of the terrain, it's amazing.
