Why is swamp still in the game?

Swamp maps are ugly as hell, have beyond broken collision, inconsistent rng and are generally considered to be awful to play on by both sides. Swamp should have been the first reworked map, but instead it's apparently just not going to be reworked at all any time soon.

    Because it's the best map ever made but in my opinion, RPD is even better than Swamp.

    No clue, when they announced Beyond the Realm graphical overhaul, I was dead certain this and Haddonfield would be on top of their To-Do list. So lets hope its next, or if not just gets disabled permanently.

    There are two things in DBD that I never understood.

    1: the hatred for the Swamp maps

    2: the hatred for the Hawkins map

    I somehow love(d) both maps. The swamps are very rather small maps, but with lots of gras and bushes to hide in, so you got to play more hide and seek then just hold W like on so many other maps. Its also one of the maps where the Trapper can use his power without anyone spotting the traps from a mile away. I guess that the mobility killers might have some collision issues here and there, but we got that on quite some maps.

    Hawkins is now a thing of the past, but that map was one of my favorites, I don`t know why, but I loved the corridors and some of the rather unique loops. Whenever I see old footage of Hawkins I get kinda the nostalgia pang, even though I did just start playing in November.

    The communities dislike of RPD I can understand: that map looks great, but is so convoluted and kills many killers (haha).

    So why do you guys hate the swamp so much?

    Swamp maps are all great. If anything needs to go in the trash, it's just about every indoor multi-floor map

    I LOVE THE SWAMP, for the art style. its so yucky and murky... I love it, gameplay is alright. unless you play artist or blight or billy or bubba or huntress or trickster or deathslinger or twins or pyramid head, you get it

    If Haddonfield is disabled then that must mean that that’s the next map getting reworked

    I love swamp maps. My Trapper catches lots of survivors in bear traps on those maps. 😂

    It took me a while to realise that it said "inconsistent rng" and not "inconsistent mg". I was so confused

    Short answer? Because unless a license is revoked they won't remove a map and swamp isn't tied to a license so it'll never leave.

    They are waiting to add Shrek as a killer before they rework it.

    Swamp is a nightmare to play at, killer and survivor
