According to an interview in Edge magazine, Splatoon 2 is going with the same two-map rotation like in the original, except the rotations happen every two hours instead of just four. So there's bound to be variety during one day of gameplay.

I'm happy with them keeping the forced rotations. It keeps things fresh and stops the "2fort/de_dust only" mentality taking root in half the playerbase.

I'm glad they're going with 2 hours this time.

I'd be down with swapping them every hour honestly, but 2 is better than 4.

Agh the wait for Splatoon 2 is killing me now that I have a Switch.

If it was 3 maps then the two hour rotation would be perfect. I'll still gladly take it over the 4 hour rotation, tho.

I sure hope these Squid Sister Stories continue to be nice and good and nothing bad happening :ohdear:

I'm not sure, it looks like those only have red in them, they may have just desaturated the other colors.

I'm probably super slow on this but I went back and watched the reveal trailer for Splatoon 2 and I just noticed the map with the inklines is Moray Towers 1:1 meaning there are going to be returning maps.

Wonder what other ones will be coming back.

I'm surprised Walleye Warehouse wasn't higher across the board. People generally go nuts for the simple 2Fort-esque maps in games.

I kinda think Moray Towers is lame, and Kelp Dome is super lame. :sigh:

Piranha Pit is kinda lame too.

Skatepark, Resort, Warehouse, Triggerfish and Underpass are the best maps

I'm pretty surprised by the popularity of towers. As long as no one voted for mall, I'm fine though.

Edit: I mean where the heck is underpass?

if two of the worst maps in the game return for the sequel because everyone voted for it then we don't deserve a new game

walleye is alright though

I'm hoping all the previous maps return over time.

Not at launch, but if they are doing the continued support thing again, a couple returning at launch, and the rest padding out the gap between new maps would work. On the other hand, that would mean a poo poo load of maps, and 2 every 2 hours would mean ages between maps being available.

I generally liked Towers, and if only a handful return with it, i'd want Heights, Camp and Museum.
