How Haddonfield Became The Most Hated Map In DBD 

Hey everyone! I just wanted to ask you a quick question: Is the editing in the video too little/too much? Thanks :)

The thing that sucks the most for me is how the map doesn't give me Halloween vibes at all. It just feels like a generic suburb map you'd see in any horror game with one

2021: SWF sends Haddonfield to win 2024: Killer sends Haddonfield to win

I really miss the old visual design of the Haddonfield. Nowadays it feels like regular Unreal Engine 5 map.

Them making this map a KILLER sided map in the latest update is insane

Haddonfield is a bit of a sad story tbh. It was probably the most unique map in the game's history, nothing else has had that same sense of urban density that it had pre-rework. I'd really like something similar to it in the future, just better balanced. Maybe something like a city block or another neighbor street.

New Haddonfield is just boring asf, almost all the pallets are dogwater + there's not many pallets either + it's pretty small now.

I always wish that these old maps and, in turn, offerings, were available in only custom games. Keep old Haddonfield out of the usual map list for typical play, but why not let players go to old Haddonfield / Autohaven / Coldwind / whatever else with Moon Bouquets in customs? That's between you and your friends.

Ahhhh my favourite map, Haddonfield bro...

Well i started playing DBD in january of 2021, but i know about the game since july 2017. On that time i only watch gameplays and i always feel that haddonfield was a really cool map, also when i started playing Dead By Daylight and i didn't have so much hours invested on the game, i considered Haddonfield as an okay map. However 1 and 2 months later i started hating this map, because i start feeling the map like the hell itself, i remember the map to be a extreme pain for me.The Myers house, the house of pain, the endless and large fences on the corners of the house, the amount of powerful pallets and windows make me develop a terrible hate to the map.When someone burn an offering to go to Haddonfield i would know that was going to be the worst day of my entire week playing the game. Most of the time i ended up screaming or making dc, because it was impossible to play that map. Also when the new matchmaking came out the situation go to another point, i remember some survivors burning the offering of Haddonfield. Nowadays i have a neutral opinion on Haddonfield because is not a bad, honestly i like the ambience of the map, but i will like if the devs make the map more darker. To this day on most of the tier list, Haddonfield is put on the B or C tier. But if you go to the maps tier list of years like 2019, 2020 and begins, middle and ends of 2021, you would see that Haddonfield was one of the worst rated maps of all time. If someone plays nowadays DBD and looks the actual Haddonfield and thinks that map is bad or okay, i will say to him: " you are lucky to play this new version of Haddonfield. Because the people who we play during 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, we know how the old Haddonfield actually was and why was considered the same door to hell".

the more i look at this game the more im shocked how bad the lighting has gotten, from no shadows on the ground from objects, to a overly bright gamma which counters the horror aspect, it's a downgrade in them regards.

Crazy how they reworked the best map in the game to become the worst but the game is still fine with about quarter of a billion pallets, great work bhvr, pretty good job so far 😂

Visually, I really love it.

Old haddonfield was at least fun ( not all the time obsl but I had some fun ) the current one is very boring and not so fun

Id like if they added a second street, like badham, where it isnt just one continuous street. An L shaped street like the prototype. Like the corner house could be the one laurie sits on with her pumpkin to wait for tommy. It would also be good to thin the street out because its way too big, it's supposed to be a suburbs street. Maybe add a construction site between a house and the playground between another so it isnt just continuous houses.

I started playing dbd in 2021 and have never gotten to play on old Haddonfield but really hope someday bhvr will revive some of the old features it had 😩

When I started playing DbD, Haddonfield was my favorite map from visual and vibe point of view. I liked old blue filter so much that I was the only killer, who willingly send themself at this map. I didn't understand how obnoxious old Haddonfield was, so, bless me, I guess

How the turns have tabled…

Haddonfield ftw. New better than old.

what mapp is the most hated now? back then ya said it was rpd now is haddonfield?

Haddonfield went from unique/great to bland/worse to bland/terrible. The map as it stands to day is super small, terrible pallets and a huge ass road in the middle. They should have touched lightly up up on the gfx and removed the worst offenders in terms of loops and kept the size of the original map. Look how many killers can teleport or something like it today vs then. Map size is not really the issue anymore, yet they keep shrinking everything. Next chapter we will fight inside a barrel.

I started playing in November of 2016, maybe several days after Halloween chapter was released, and Haddonfield was my first ever played map, and holy crap i was bricking my pants when i was hiding from Michael, repairing generators turning around gave me so much paranoia i started using Premonition :D

Old map was really survivor sided, now it's really killer sided

Fun fact the Halloween chapter was released on my birthday. I didn’t start playing until 2021 between pinhead and mikeala which was rlly close to my bday as well

Old Haddonfield not fun for Killer New Haddonfield not fun for Surv Maybe some tweak can help Outside pallets are literally useless and 3 gen on myers house to strong

You are my favorite new RU-vidr your videos are so interesting damn ❤

It's crazy that the only issue with this map were 4 man swf bringing a map offering and abusing balanced landing and instead of deleting map offerings from the game they went ahead and made it the worst map in the game for survivors

Devs used the Judith's grave addon on this mape to butcher it to death.

I loved OG Haddonfield I i had fun as both killer and survivor the new one too small for mostly any fun.

I don’t think it’s the most hated map. I kinda like that map.

Miss the old atmosphere of the old map even if the map itself was problematic balance wise. If am I honest most of the maps look really bland nowdays compared to the original designs.

Unpopular opinion: MacMillan is the most boring realm. Also my most hated map is Shelter Woods.

Haddonfield - это как Болгария. Как её не меняй, все равно такое себе. 😂

ta mapa jest daremna dla graczy solo, jak tylko na nią trafiam zabijam się na pierwszym możliwym haku

Haddonfield is now 3 to 4 gen for the killers now every match. Palets are dogshit and there are only few of them. Every House get nerf. I think that they just few nerfs was ok but they litteraly nerf everything

went from the most survivor sided map to pretty shit for both sides to arguably the most killer sided map 😭

I hate how they got rid of some houses now the Myers house just looks bear bones. Boring AF. And there are WAY too many cars on the street, it makes no sense for a small neighborhood. It would make more sense for a city or something. They gutted my visually favorite map

It’s been getting worse and more killer sided especially with the last update. With the 2 windows it was playable as survivors but now what are those pallets on edge map😅 against nurse or why else would someone run there..

new haddonfield is absolutely horrendous i hate it more than any other map in the game pallets are shit no windows no cover bad gen placement too ez for killer. Also the atmosphere is sunshine and rainbows not shittin my pants scary

and they some how made it worse, i miss the old one more ngl the current one doesn't feel like it at all

Old haddonfield (april 2022 - march 2024) was a bit more balanced for me, it had god loops as well as dead zones now we are only left with dead zones

Every further iteration of haddonfield continues to baffle me with how bad it is. I prefer the older version (circa 2021~) simply because it had some interesting loops that both players could play around, even though the thing was still horrible as killer. It's one of those things I tend to mention that I dislike about BHVR: their habit of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Haddonfield needed reworking, yes. But then they made from an interesting map to a map where it's just three stripes: the outer ones being survivor-sided loops that are a nightmare to play as killer, the inner stripe being a wasteland devoid of anything safe for survivor, resulting in killer-sided stuff. Now? The entire thing is like a tiny nugget of what it used to be, and to top it off the thing is somehow majority wasteland making the map ludicrously killer-sided now. I genuinely don't understand what is wrong with the map team these days, but nearly every map rework and the past few new maps have been genuinely the most dogwater I have ever seen in my entirety of playing this game. It boggles the mind, and I do not feel bad saying that they need to be fired if they don't shape up quick.

I miss it as survivor. Killer.. no 😂 I loved the remastered Haddonfield. It actually looks like a street instead of some weird looking white empty houses. I hate it now because one side is just the main and it looks and feels so awkward

I am on 6:52 🎉🎉🎉

New Haddonfield is just a small disappointing playing field tbh. Its one of my favorite atmospheric maps but the gens are literally right next to each other lol

haddonfield has been the most hated map since it released. for the first like 6 years of dbd's lifespan if the survivors sent you to this map as killer it was an auto-lose so obviously killers despised it. and then for like a yearish it was actually an okay map. and now it's the weakest survivor map and absolutely awful to play on as survivor. it's just so shit.

I hate more the swamp maps then haddonfield...

why hello sashko ;)

I personally think that they really fumbled this one. The road is way too big. 1. It's a huge dead zone with two - four pallets. 2. This road is like a four lane road. Way too big in my opinion. The whole map sucks to be honest. There are like 4 windows that are two way windows. The rest is second story / balcony windows. It's trash.

I love your voice

The new changes are not good. The entire maps loops are weak

I really hate Haddonfield. Every version of it. But imma be honest, the old atmosphere was reeeeally spooky...

Yay early today 🎉

Damn 444 likes i dont wanna ruin that

The real issue with current Haddonfield is the size of it. It is way too small, and there are way too few looping locations available for survivors, quite ironic, considering how it used to be the #1 most survivor sided map at one point. But yes, it is horribly imbalanced in its current state, due to the small size, the random pallet spawns, especially in the street (which is much too wide anyways), the huge dead-zones all over and way too many unsafe windows. In all honesty, BHVR should go back to the drawing board with Haddonfield, and take the OG version, update it to modern standards, and retain the larger size. This is especially with high mobility killers in mind, like Blight, Wesker and Nurse, who has the easiest time of their lives on the current version. I see way too many 4K's at 3 or more gens for it to be balanced. Hell, even basic M1 killers like Trapper can easily 4K on this map, and that is definitely telling something

The scaling of the furniture and appliances has bothered me since the map got reworked. A very nitpicky criticism but I can’t get over it whenever I play on it.

As broken as old haddonfield was I miss its design. The current map looks nothing like it does in the movie and it doesn’t even look like a neighbor hood at all. Like why the hell is the street the size of a highway?? No neighborhood has a street THAT big

I fucking hate new alien map

They dont know how to do maps anymore evidently

Has Haddonfield ever just not been awful and horribly balanced?

Hope they revert it back to how it was, the new version is way too killer sided... and I'll only throw on that map...every...single...time. won't survive anyways, so why not just throw all your matches for 7 hours. To make so ,any 3v1 matches now. 😂😂😂

No lie, as a Michael Myers main, I love this map! It's my favorite!

Haddonfield worst map? Nah just a rumor.

the aliens map sucks way more. soulless boring map

Gameplay wise, old Haddonfield was awfull but it use to look way better. The thing that bugs me the most on current Haddonfield is the size of the midle road : why is there a f* autobahn in the midle ?

Brotha eeugghhhhhh

i used to run balanced on haddonfield 😭😭

All graphic updates I do not like as much.

It's currently the most awful map in the game. It's just f'n tiny, the devs went insane here with their stupid obsession to make every map tiny small. It is disgusting and plays awful.

Thank god to the licence holders to dismiss shack

The atmosphere and lighting of the old haddonfield were 10x better and the new haddonfield is just so boring gameplay wise and graphics wise

I miss the old version of Haddonfield. This latest version is absolute dogshit.

The most hated map is RPD lmao

Survivor complained about this map 😂. Like when killers complained, you guys just laughed and said that it was ok. Karma at its finest 😂

I miss the original haddonfield

Miguel

I hate the lack of the dark and the lack of the fog... Why is everything so annoyingly bright...

game used to feel and look scary, now a days this game looks bland and has no flavor, I personally loved the old dirty graphics better, to me that felt like dbd

You noob

Honestly? Still prefer Haddon over Swamp. And yes it's entirely bias

ngl i actually like the new map more than the original. the other one seems much like a blue prototype and bland.
