am i the only one that really hates this map as a killer? i mean i like it as a survivor due to all the grass and all that.

but as a killer, wow i cant see at all where im running, where survivors are running, or where anything is running. this is definitly the stage where i lose track of survivors the most.

scratchmarks disappear from me in the tall grass and even running bloodhound doesnt seem to help me a ton.

i feel so blind doing this map.

    I hate that map, if your playing the smaller killers it’s even worse. Same when chasing in that freeking corn

    I would delete these and Farm maps from the game if I could, really.

    i actually thought i was the only one. when i watch streamers they seem to be able to find and track down people doing chases fine, but i cant see a god damn thing.

    and yea, crouching as the Pig in that stage is a nightmare!

    why does survivors hate the map?

    I also dislike this map! It’s barely any good with trapper and hag (emphasis on barely)

    The only reason why I dislike it as survivor is because the map doesn’t look nice like I get it’s a swamp but Shrek lives in a swamp and his doesn’t even look as bad as backwater

    Totems take years to find and are harder to see, and God forbid the Killer is Hag.

    Jigsaw Boxes can be placed on the four corners of the map, meaning you'll die if anything happens.

    The bottom areas are mazes, it's easy to run into a dead-end and get yourself killed, and it takes forever to find an entrance/exit.

    The pallet/vault distribution is god awful because they're heavily concentrated in land marks, so you're pretty much dead if you're caught in the open.

    But I like it better than getting MacMillan for the fiftieth time in a row.

    Generally I love the swamp maps as survivor, especially Pale Rose. The only negative is finding totems. Next to the Game, its the toughest map to locate them.
