Midwich elementary school rework request

Midwich scares a ppoop out of me as a killer. Not because it is so scary, but because there is a chance you could end up in situation when there are only 2 survivors left. 

And they are hiding. They are not doing gens. They are hiding for next 20 minutes. This is boring. This is a waste of the time which keeps the killer as a game hostage. 

So what, after 20 minutes of unsucessfull searches, should I DC? I did. There should be a way for the killer to initiate end game collapse if survivors are IDLE for 10 minutes. 

Survivors always have a chance to finish the game at will. Even if there are 2 left and the second is slugged, he still can bled out in 4 minutes and go to another match. 

What about killer? Can the killer blead out of boredom and finish the match?

  • I second this. Midwich is probably the worst map in the game for both sides, and one of my least favorites. Midwich gameplay for survivor is holding W, for killer it's playing a killer that can counter holding W or giving up.

    Although I doubt they will be able to do any major reworking of the layout, Konami's license with them is probably pretty strict.

    This is the worst map in the game. I don't like it and would be good if they removed it tbh

    I think the Midwich map is cool to play on and look at, i mean it looks amazing and i love the clock feature. Yeah it sucks for both survivor and killers but i think it will just take more practice. Afterall, all indoor maps kinda suck but look the coolest. I'd just get used to it.

    I just want offerings that prevents being sent to a specific realm....like this one...

    Less time and effort than an entire rework.

    Btw, you dont need to worry about it. All maps are getting reworked one day...none of them will be better than before, but a lot of things need to change so that nothing changes.

    No there is nothing to learn about midwich. Other then break these walls don't break these. As survivor you don't have any agency besides hold w and keep an eye out for the inevitable free hit the killer gets around a corner. At no stage is the killer trying to cut you off. the movement up and down the map has only two stairs that the killer can limit it if he's smart.

    I would agree, I believe the majority would agree Misdwitch visual design and some additions like clock and jump scare body are great.

    The thing, unlike other indoor maps, it is miserable to play as a killer. I have no issues playing it as a survivor, like Haddonfied for instance.

    In Midwitch if you are 2 person SWF and you are using Object of Obsession, you can tell your team mate to hide in the locker and just run around the map. You will win. I had that experience as a killer and ran for 20 minutes as Plague. And angy DC then. You cannot do this crap on any other indoor map.

    Also, as a killer you cannot go from the corner to corner by diagonal, you have to move around the entire map.

    Sure, people could recommend using Whispers, Iron Maiden, running Wraith or Scratched Mirror Myers, Freddy, Spirit or even Demogorgon would perform well on this map, but what about other killers?

    When I see the Midwitch offering in the loading screen, I usually kill the game process. Only exception is if I am playing one of the killers above or a good anti-stealth build

    Midwich is a licensed map like Haddonfield, so I'm sure it will be a hassle to get it fixed.

    Well, Devs could start from removing some (maybe all) lockers from the second floor and reduce the number of pallets, which are not the parts of Silent Hill franchise. Like in the Game's meat plant.

    Another thing is, I don't know if every hole in the map is also licensed, but they could make more holes in the walls and between floors so that, as a killer, I don't need to go to the corner of the map to go upstairs and allow the killer to traverse map by diagonal through the yard in the middle. I am not sure about this first part of the following clip, but did PH came through the wall or closed door to the yard?

    To be fancy, this probably will never happen, but I would like to see those huge cockroaches, which could somehow tell the killer where the survivors are.
