I miss old Haddon field. New one is too killer sided.

Old haddon field was just soo much better, I wish they’d bring the old map back as a variant too.

    Don't know which variant of "old Haddonfield" you're talking about, the actual old variant was disgustingly strong for survivors, however now it's the complete opposite. But I do agree Haddonfield and some Coldwind maps could benefit from buffs for the survivor side in my opinion.

    I miss it for the visuals and aesthetic, but the actual gameplay was never really good.

    First it was extremely survivor sided, and now it is extremely killer sided. This map has never been balanced.

    Reverting it back to one of its previous iterations could be a good first step, but the map would need further changes.

    Nerf the main building, buff the rest of the map

    It suffers from the same issue as the saloon, main building is busted while the rest of the map sucks. Always leads to the most predictable outcome based on the location of the chase.

    Its still plenty strong of a time waste for M1 killers, just like the saloon. Not exactly a lot of mindgame potential.

    Haddonfield is the only map, I don’t even try to win on. Either the killer lets me do gens or he kills me. What’s the point of getting chased, when I have nothing to use! Literally the only time I won on this map, was when the killer was incredibly bad.

    I think the old (OG) version was hideous in addition to being the most survivor sided map in the game. Every time I see old footage I am struck by just how bad it looked, and addition to having ptsd flashbacks to the gameplay.

    The new version, imo, is aesthetically great, but hella killer sided. So I guess on balance, I'd take the new version if I had to choose.

    Now I actually think it wasn't really all that imbalanced before the latest changes, where they made the houses much weaker for survs. Before, I think it had a realistic sort of vibe where they houses were strong for survs, but the center of the map was strong for the killer.

    Now the whole map is strong for the killer. I think if they just reverted the most recent changes, I personally wouldn't have any issues with the map.

    Well, we're all entitled to our own opinions, of course.

    For me, the old version looked thousand times better visually. Especially in the lighting and overall atmosphere department. It looked like an actual suburb.

    Compared to the bright highway with few random houses next to it that it is now, I'd go back (at least visually) in a heartbeat.

    There is something good about the map being killer-sided, no more map offerings.

    I don't think that is the case, tbh. You can still be sent there to have a miserable match:

    All that changed is that the killer will be the one using that particular offering, instead of survivors.

    What did I tell you?

    People who miss the broken older versions of maps do not miss those maps - they miss them being free easy wins against certain Killers.

    I mean the old one was just the exact opposite issue.

    I agree that current Haddonfield is too killer sided in some regards but the old version was pretty much just a survivor playground and we shouldn't go back to that either. There should be a middleground.
