So, about the new map.

You have an indoor map with tight, clustered hallways, isolated rooms with limited entries, a total lack of traversal between the two floors, and one of the largest, if not the largest, size in the game. In other words, you have a map that is absolutely painful to navigate. So what do you do?
You remove all lighting ever. You make it quite possibly the darkest map in the game.
How? HOW? How do you think that darkening RPD a hundred times over is a good idea?
From my experience playing this map on the PTB, it was already my new least favorite map to play on because of just how NOT FUN it is to go from point A to point B. And now I can't even see where I'm going half the time.
Just... why?

totally agree. windows++ on this map
Of all the potential maps that could have been made when utilizing something with such a huge range of options as Resident Evil BHVR chose to create yet another indoor map with tight spaces. It seems that's all they know how to do anymore when it comes to maps. They have zero creativity left in them. It's like they aren't even trying anymore. I wish I didn't love this game so much otherwise because BHVR has become stagnant when it comes to originality.
Honestly they should have done the raccoon city streets. Would have made for a much more interesting map than RCPD.
I'm loving the new map. It is Disneyland for my Myers. I'm also enjoying Lethal Pursuit.
Myers gets cucked by this map. Survivors with ears will hear his stomping and breathing entire minutes before Myers can get to them and start stalking them.
I agree. Personally I would loved to have seen the little city center scene with the church and such from RE4.
I can understand that. For killers all these indoor maps are great. Not so much so for survivors.
Worst. Map. Ever. Im so disappointed.
You joking? Indoor maps are trash for Killers, and RPD is the new worst map to play on in the game.
Never before have I spent half the match knowing EXACTLY where Survivors are but been COMPLETELY unable to get to them. It's absolutely miserable.
I disagree there too. I enjoy the map as a Survivor too. It is merely a matter of learning it. There is more than enough to juke Killers in there. Give it a few weeks. This map is a compromise between an indoor and outdoor map. It has qualities of both.
It has one large atrium and then the most narrow, claustrophobic, limited hallways and rooms in the entire game. It does NOT have qualities of both.
I hope you're right cause right now I'm hating it more than any other map and that's saying something
Beautiful map, but it doesn't fit the gameplay of DBD. Just another map to yawn everytime I spawn in. Sad to think the last good map was Father Campbell's Chapel 3 years ago.
Oh my lord I’ve played on the new map twice and my game has crashed both times, SMFH
I don't play killer. I was going based on the other person talking about how it was great for his Myers. I can see how that would be the case.
At the same time I see the point you're making. It's once a killer finds a survivor on this kind of map that makes it suck for survivors. The same thing that makes it hard for killers to get to the survivors makes it nearly impossible for survivors to lose them once they are found.
As a survivor I'm not good at looping. On this map I'm now able to go around as if I'm a pro.
That's because this Map is particularly good for the Hide & Seek types.
Well it was disabled
Yes right now the map is disabled due to crashing issues, it will be re-enabled when those are resolved.
Eww, another indoor map, hate them
Dear god I hope they leave it disabled permanently I'd rather wait for the dc penalty than play on that piece of garbage. All I know is I'm running map offerings every round once they turn it back on
They had to make it more friendly for Trapper & Hag.
I guess....
I live indoor maps, just sad that my game keeps crashing on it
And I constantly get freezes on that map, I hate that map.
As a killer i don't enjoy this new map at all, i even think it's the worst map in the game yet.
Running through these small corridors in first person and try to find survivors gives me a headache.
I hear them working on a gen above me and i run across the whole map to get up.
Not fun at all.
Sewers wouldve been cool too
I love the new map and I don’t find it too annoying or poor for both sides. Sure, I’ve played RE2, but the layout is still somewhat different and I don’t find it annoying at all.
Highly disagree, but I seemed to be in the minority and can get to why you guys feel that why.
If this isn't the largest map in the game I would be surprised and large maps favors survivors already, add the fact that there is multiple floors and only a few ways to travel between floors? Makes it so survivor sided it's not even funny.
The fact that the map is similar to Azarov's Resting Place with the gen split, the killer is forced to either play west wing or east wing not both since it will be impossible to defend. And even then, the muiltiple floors makes even that almost impossible do deal with. If survivors manage to repair one gen in each wing it's over, just like on Azarov.
In my experience survivors don't fair as well in indoor maps. My experience is merely anecdotal so take that for what's it's worth. The thing I dislike about maps like this one is the mere fact that it makes it nearly impossible to escape the killer once he has you in his sights. At least for some of us.
I can certainly understand that a big map makes it harder for killers. I think my wording in the other comment was not quite as good as it should have been. What I should have said was this: Chases on indoor maps seem to be over much quicker than on others. And the majority of the time they end in favor of the killer. Again, that's what I've seen.
What I'm also concerned about is the potential for really hard camping hooks. Many of the hallways are so tight the killer could easily body block the ways to the unhook.
