Thinking about maps for this new installment of Splatoon, could we see a few possible maps returning from the original Splatoon? I think so.

From what I've seen, it looks like Urchin, Bluefin, and Moray were all THERE, just not in the form we were expecting. You can see the general art and building styles of Bluefin and Urchin, but the maps have been revamped is my guess. It looks like they want the maps to have more, larger slopes and wider open areas, which you can see several times in the announcement trailer. This would make more maps attuned to weapons like the Squelchers which were often overshadowed by the stage layouts that included obstacles and other obstructions that hindered their range, but snipers could perform just fine on. All in all, I've enjoyed what I've seen from the maps even in the short look we got.

The arena kind of maps we have right now are perfect.

Some of the other maps from Splatoon 1 felt kind of awkward (to me).

Bluefin Depot was one of my favorite maps and I guess Urchin Underpass was OK depending on the ranked match type, but the fact that Moray Towers is being brought back... just no, my nightmare, my squid nightmare, I don't want it. Ever! That is purely sniper grounds you are looking at there! Hopefully the ink rails and the Ink Jetpack makes that map less terrible, but I'm not hopeful because it's Moray Towers.

I really want a saltspray rig revival.

The walkways, the open sea breeze, shooting the seagulls, moving platforms!

If it wasn't such a 1 min. or less death match, it would easily be my favorite stage.

I reckon they should add an expansion pack with all the old maps but edited a bit and the chance to vote.

I hope Piranha Pit will be in Splatoon 2, or Flounder Heights, Moray Towers was shown in the video, So I doubt they won't put it in there, But As long as Hammerhead Bridge isn't going to be in Splatoon 2, I'm fine
