Jungle or the Cove I think. I'm leaning more towards the Cove. The Forest is alright, I think I'd need to see it rendered in front of me to really appreciate it. From videos and screenshots, it's good looking but a bit bland. The Market's cool too but I think it could stand to be a little more otherworldly.

So probably the Cove, it feels the most familiar yet still fresh.

I need more details on the Special Forces base as we haven't seen the whole thing as a whole.

From the others, I think the snow forest. It's dark, it's simple, has grim details around, looks like it could be close to the Lin Kuei base and has wolves on the background (possibly as stage fatalities if the stage animalities theory is right).

After that, the market just because you can throw that old lady.

Snowy Forest and Jungle. One contain a wolf or wolves and the Jungle contains a snake and gator.

I think the new one will the the blandest, but we gotta wait as we haven't seen it in play or the full render.

I am still saying The Kove is my favorite so far.

So far I would say the snowy Forrest. Seems simple and eerie enough, plus wondering if it's Lin Kuei or scorpions woods.

The Kove for me

Outworld Marketplace looks like it belongs in Street Fighter

The Jungle Crocodile Stage Animality
The Kove Anything could be in that water
Snow Forrest Wolves Stage Animality

Outworld Marketplace

Tough call, for me its a tie between Snow Forest and The Kove.

So far i like them all. but the eye catchers for me are Outworld Market and Snow Forrest

I like The Snow Forest.

The Snow Forest hands down. It's one of the stages that definitely has that MK feel to it with its darkness and grit. Plus it was featured in the MKX trailer in all of its glory which already makes it feel Classic in my eyes. Not to mention those blood thirsty wolves lurking in the shadows. Very well done.

I like The Snow Forest.

I find it interesting how many people were calling the snow forest bland but now we all love it hehe.

I guess it either were few users making a lot of noise or people started to appreciate it with time.

The possibility of a wolves animality is the cherry on the top for me and I like how it looks simple but still have enough grim details here and there and the overal dark atmosphere.

Oh, and breaking a branch on your face adds points :P

Jungle of Snow Forest

The snow forest. I'll have to see more but I like the SF base too. Not a big fan of the other stages.

The Kove but I also really love the Jungle

Probably Jungle, but then Special Forces and then Kove, the marekteplace. The Snow Forest looks so boring.

Snow Forest and The Jungle

I like natural looking stages more than industrialized ones. Meaning I don't like anything with a lot of tech or manmade devices in my stages. That's why I'm thinking I will hate this new Special Forces stage.

Outworld Marketplace and the Jungle.

They are all good though. And I'm wondering about what lurks in the waters of the Kove...I hope it's not just a shark or something. I hope it's some kind of sea monster. Release the Krakken!!

The Cove is definitely my favorite. It reminds me of the Wasteland in a lot of ways, and the Wasteland is one of my favorite stages of all time. The giant skull in the background and bodies consistently flying up on the deck are a great touch. The Cove has an overtly Ominous feel to it, and I really like that.

The Snow Forest is a distant second for me. But I like how much there seems to be going on in the Background with the wolf and possible portal. It's very Lin Keui. And as a huge Sub-Zero fan, that flies very well with me.

Haven't seen much of the Special Forces stage yet. But as I have previously stated, I really like the Half-Life 2 vibe it has to it. It's run down and gritty. I think I'll like this one more after we see the rest of it.

The Jungle is not bad. It's kind of plain. I'm guessing it's going to be highly affiliated with Kotal Kahn. So maybe I'll like it more once we see some story.

Outworld Marketplace I am not too impressed with. Mainly because I feel a place called Outworld Marketplace should at least look somewhat like Outworld. The architecture of the buildings and structure of the vendors is all so Middle Eastern. It reminds me of the first Assassin's Creed. Outworld in all other mediums, has looked more like feudal Japan. Also, the sky just looks so earthlike. Outworld's sky is supposed to be rapidly changing in colors of purple, royal blue, orange and grey from the overabundance of volcanic activity and pollution. I almost always love the Outworld stages. But this one just is not doing it for me.

Speaking of the Snow Forest, I was just watching some videos and found this one, at 2:53 if you put the video on the highest resolution there is a clear shot of the creature with the camera standing still. At the beginning it looks like it has some kind of horn/fangs, the shape of the creature looks like it could be mounstruous rather than your typical wolf:

Edit: Ok I managed to stop it at the right frame and I was just imagining that fang thing, it looks like it's indeed a wolf (I'm happy I really love wolves).

This.

1st I think Snow forest purely because of the night time and the epic feel that gives this arena

2nd and A close second would be the Jungle arena from Kanos reveal trailer

3rd is The outworld market place is but its a distant 3rd as while its a nice enough looking arena it just doesn't seem like outworld to me

4th is the Kove because it just seems average to me, like something SF would have made

I can't rank the special forces arena until I see it properly

Btw, the Snow Forest soundtrack is pure awesomeness.

Edit: LOL just realized this is fan made.
