Is the new Haddonfield balanced?

IDK what all these survivors are complaining about - it's safe vault heaven. There are legitimate infinites in a few buildings, provided the correct spawns.

The dead zone in the middle is honestly beside the point, because each side of the street has some of the strongest tiles in the game stacked back to back.

So long as survivors split their attention and loop safely - avoiding unsafe pallets and not greeding - it's very survivor sided.

When you compare normal M1 killers to the relative distance of the map, the map can become extremely large. So long as Survivors prioritize the right generators, the map can become nearly unwinnable as the majority of killers.

The distance and strong loops inside the house make the map super favorable to survivors - especially with select perks (Cough - Balanced Landing - Cough)

The large dead zone in the middle is often to the determent of many killers who rely on surprise attacks and ambiguity to ambush their prey. Ghostface and Meyers mains cry when they load in here - as one can be spotted clearly from across the map if they step into the street.

I think that a lot of survivors think the map is disfavorable because it lacks familiar points that they use.

Most survivors know how to play an LT, gyms, shack, normal stuff. You present a survivor with that little tool shed and hedgerow in the back of the corner house and they have no idea how to run it. While it's among the strongest loops in the game until the breakable wall is destroyed by the Killer, most survivors don't understand how to utilize it to its best extent.

Right now survivor mains are crying, and I understand why - but once everyone begins to learn the map, it will likely subside into a more 'balanced' approach, as killers are run for over a minute on perspective infinites and safe vaults are exploited while the unsafe pallets are relegated to late game last resorts.

I never thought I would ever say this but... Haddonfield is finally a balanced map and the house of pain is not such a pain anymore.

Did Elon Musk also buy BHVR and I'm not aware of it?

I've only played on it a few times so it's possible my opinion may change, but based on what I've seen so far it seems pretty balanced. Survivors have strong things to work with, but only if they know how to run them, and only if they're smart about avoiding getting caught in deadzones as much as possible.

It's definitely nowhere near as much of a nightmare as it used to be, that's for sure.

One of the most balanced ones, imo, at the moment. It has strong loops, but as any other pallet-connected-loop they become pretty weak as soon as you break that pallet. It has pretty open areas, but houses and corners are still a good place to hide. Myers house has a semi-infinite, but also a very powerful basement. Fences are still there, but they are intertwined with pallets and are much shorter. Strong survivors can put up a good fight and loop a bad killer for eternity, but smart killers always have a chance to come out on top no matter the situation.

Better than what it used to be. There are hooks in the houses so they don't have to struggle with carrying them down stares.... and there are big open places in the middle and behind houses. If someone goes in a house tho, it's kinda hard haha.

Yeah, the multiple windows make it kinda hard, they can just hop and loop around and hop again. That's one of the main reasons if they run to the killer shack, I avoid them like the plague. :/

no joke, as a Killer I really hate when I realize that I'm playing against someone who has got lucky with the map rotation and also knows how to use it well

Ugh, I know. Like, when I was trying to figure out my perks, I avoided the Killer Shack like the plague because of good loopers. But sometimes if I see a good looper in Haddonfield, I'll save them for last because they're just gonna use the windows heavily. And since there are multiple windows, it wont get blocked for overuse. X.X

people are saying the street is a dead zone but the street can have multiple god pallets and you can go from pallet to god house, god pallet to god house and pallet to god pallet with no threat and the totems spawns are bad for killer.

This map is really hard for nurse now as you can loop her around "nothing" for a long time. The very short fences completely mess with her ability.

The map still has a bunch of god pallets and almost no mindgameable pallets.

If you don't have Bamboozle (or are playing nurse) you will suffer on the windows. Shift W is way too strong.

Once again it's a map where you have a 3 gen on one side and a 3 gen on the other side- incredibly boring. There should be three generators in the middle of the map and two on either "end".

The map has tons of strong windows. Survivors in good position can be very hard to catch.
