I don't know about the stages, but Deception had the best music imo. I'm positive though that Forden will make the soundtrack awesome now that he's not confined to the 'classic aura' that was MK9.

I would really love to see a couple updated versions of:
Living Forrest
Hell
The Pit
The Amory
Deadpool
Subway doesn't fit the game but it was BADASS

From past games:

Portal
Nethership Interior and Deck
Sky Temple
Prison
Slaughter house
Ying Yang

It would be best if they were FREE DLC along with Skins for compatibility patches

we basically got all the old stages re-made in mk9 , id rather we see all new stages this time around,

All that debuted in MK4. The Portal. Noob Dorfen, Sky Temple, Living forest, Shaolin Temple.

And how the new. Throne of Shinnok, Lin Kuei Temple (Temple where Sektor is hosted, not what you think Sub Zero), Lin Kuei Laboratory, Vaeternus, Edenia, Kuatan, Zaterra, Tarkatan Lair.

Never cared that much for the stages, I like all new ones shown tho.

I hope all characters have their own stage (some characters that share terriotorium maybe share 1 stage)

The living forest was my favorite stage + the Acid pool, but I wouldn't die if they aren't in this new game at all.

So bad The Portal wasn't in the last MK. It is one of my favorite arenas ever!

Bring back House of Pekara!

I want one of the urban stages, or all of them. New ones could do.

I'd personally love to have the falling cliff stage back, but it'd be pointless if there wasn't the risk of being knocked off in the middle of the fight. Even if deathtraps don't return, perhaps this stage could be an exception.

Other MKD stages I want back: Yin/Yang island, chamber of artifacts, the hell factory, the mines (with the three death traps), nekropolis (I think that was the name), nearly all of them, really.

The pit 2, or at least it's stage fatality. It'd be refreshing to have a stage fatality that didn't involve victims being mutilated or even impaled, just them hitting hard pavement.

I agree about the house of Pekara.

These are just a few suggestions. There are so many arenas that I like.

A reimaging of the Pit 3 would be superb.

I quite like reimagined stages. MK9's reimagined stages were beautiful, though some of them didn't make alot of sense... like the Pit2 being on Shang Tsung's island...

My favorite arena ever is The Portal for MK Deception!
Also that song is really contagious!!!
I also loved that you could see the "Choose your destiny"coluns from the old MK games, they could make this twist in a new portal arena ( yet similar to the MK2 one) and also have the colums on the corner.

Pit III is my favorite Pit arena... I guess is the song that makes it so creepy..

However I would love a new Pit Stage..

i could swear we already had a thread like this one month ago.. but ok:)

i don't want a stage to comeback. i want complete new stages because it's a complete new game.

The Kombat Tomb is way, way overdue for a reappearance in a fighter. I'd take it first and foremost.

Lung Hai temple. I've been wanting this arena back since MKDA.

But this time, with the sea dragon stage fatality with it!!!!

I'd like to see the Wu Shi Academy return. Not sure what the Interactables would be though.

I kinda liked the idea what they did with the previous one:

old stages being merged, kinda like how Shang Tsung's garden is basically the warrior shrine and palace gates merged, and yet not too resembling any of them.

The pit 1-2/meteor storm merger was a hit or miss for most, I could tell, but I kinda liked it.

Seeing as how awesome the stages were in MK2011 I feel no old arena need to return.
If they all were new I would be happy with that :)

But if my plant/tree character idea were to make the cut into the game at least living forest would be a given arena to make a return.

I cant image Mortal kombat without 1 of these,

The pit
The portal
The dead pool
The Soul Chamber
Goro's lair

happily the forest is already showed.

House of Pekara and the Pit 3.

That made me think, it would be GREAT to see Kombat tomb from MK2 (with the spikes on the ceiling, and the bird like creatures flying on the background) merged with The tomb from MK4 ( it had some coffins around the arena, a dead warrior on the background, and a skull like window on the back)..
It d be one of the best arenas thus far!

And the body must fall if you hold the down button.

I hope the pirate-level has a shark-stage fatality. You gotta love sharks ;-p

You do know that's not the Living Forest right? Its a forest, just not the Living Forest. Honestly, I like Snow Forest better than the Living Forest.
