Hawkins is once again the worst map in the game
I remember when Hawkins was still a thing; it was, quite literally, the worst map that you could get (both as a survivor and as a killer). The loops are broken, some tiles have more pallets than they should, LoS blockers are everywhere, and the geometry of the map screws with most of the killer's powers, etc.
I understand that everyone is excited for Stranger Things to come back to the game, but how has this map not been reviewed before release? It's literally the same one that was removed, without a single change. I don't even think it would be that bad if it weren't for the fact that the spawn rate is increased, so it's all I've been playing lately.
I just hope this isn't a 'The Game' scenario where the devs pretend it isn't an issue for years

If they would just let us DC without penalty until this map is redone, or removed...
Its so much frustration on certain killers.
I love ths map. Do you hate it as killer or as survivor? Because i have a feel that this map is a little more difficult to play as killer, less advantage.
Beside that, I absolutely love the map.
The only hook on the 3rd floor is the one on the stairs and if you are lucky one right at the drop down. You need to save these at any cost or you are screwed.
So me for example. I still know it from the old days.
I had some people give up yesterday because I know the old tricks for the catwalks XD.
I don't think it's the WORST map in the game but I definitely do not enjoy playing on it
It's like The Game and Lèry's had a child. Not much different to those or any other indoor map.
Well, on other maps killers can just stand on a little hill and overlook the 2 exit doors for survivors. Then you are screwed as survivor too. It is well balanced. I'd say ,welcome the feeling ;-) You win some,you lose some...
Exactly. You have Midwich on one side and GoJ on the other.
The heavy and spread out mix of vertical loop elements make Hawkins very ######### up.
The ground cover does remind a bit of lery.
It's a great map that brings alot to play.
Lots of good/unique pallets and loops towards the centre due to no main building, however they can get used up fast and then you don't have a great skeleton to play with.
Stealth killers can enjoy endless line of sight blockers which Lery's fails at by having so many vaults. Pentimento with any aura reading perk and you have a free hit.
Only issue is the totem upstairs is too far for a killer to have to remove a boon. Not like those are good anyway.
I didn't have spawn or if it did it was a drop I didn't know how to get to.
When are folks going to realize that you can't use the same playstyle for every map?
