Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Basically put more entrances in the courtyard and more ways to go up and down floors

    This would be an improvement but it's not the only problem with Midwich.

    Because of the large courtyard in the middle it makes cutting off survivors or B-lining to them impossible. play against anyone using object of obsession on this map you'll see what I mean.

    Another issue is the inner area of the school are the long hallways with no barriers. You have to chase people around this NASCAR loop until you eventually catch up. There's also no way to get ahead of the survivor or to cut them off in any way. You have to follow behind them until they make a move.

    Every other map, including Lery's and The Game, don't have these issues. Every map is flat and open enough to allow for opportunities to get ahead of the survivor, whereas Midwich has this big 'obstacle' in the middle that needs to be navigated around.

    Introducing these changes might help a little bit, but the map is already inherently flawed. Maybe just remove the window dropdowns entirely and just add the four new staircases. Maybe also introduce two or three "intersections" in each long hallway to create opportunities for either side instead of being forced to run in a straight line.

    Oh yea, also, delete Object of Obsession :)
