If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

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

This is crazy. No, people do not "go nuts for the simple 2Fort-esque maps in games" that's bullshit.

Sometimes in some games depending upon the gameplay, yeah. But across all games? LOL. That's loving ridiculous.

2Fort was a cool map in the Quake days and it wasn't 'simple' back then. TF2 2Fort is "simple", because its in a completely different game environment it wasn't designed for.

And just about everybody I know hated 2Fort in TF2 (because again, it wasn't designed for it, it was a holdover for nostalgia's sake) but in Quake TF it was loving perfect.

I hope they bring back hammerhead bridge and anything after it because I never got to play those maps due to the loving stupid random rotation

I hope they bring back Urchin Underpass.

Both Versions.

Once a day has a rotation with both underpasses taking a slot.

Towers is the worst map I don't get why anyone likes it

Possible answer 1: People like it because it showcases a verticality that is unique to Splatoon.

Possible answer 2: Snipers stuffed the ballot box.

It's the old map except when the clock hits halfway the map starts morphing into the new map.

I'd be shocked if that isn't in since that's in MK8D. It's really neat how well it works in that with the same basic layout.

There's three sets of costumes that you can unlock that are kinda similar to the original 3 amiibo only sets.

This is partly speculation, but I think the regular amiibo unlock the amiibo brand clothes. One of the other confirmed amiibo features is the capability to store gear sets and option settings in them, probably so you can take selfies.

As for the sisters, no idea. They'll probably sing and dance for you.

I'd love it if it was "Callie decided to take a bike ride to Calamari Country. She just understated how long it would take." or something equally goofy. Previous entries though mentioned characters vanishing though (namely Cuttlefish) so I don't think that's the case, sadly.
