For instance, if you pick an MK character, does it mean you only fight the DC characters on the battleplan and vice versa? Or do we get to fight everyone?

Any ideas? I wanna fight everybody!

If a tree falls over in a forest and there is no-one there to hear it, can we be certain that it didn't fall over in a jungle? Check my profile for a clue...

My best guess would be that you'd fight the opposing side ( MK or DC ) and NPCs ( like Quan Chi ), mainly because in one of the screenshots of the cutscenes Sonya stopped Shang Tsung from killing Kano ( well that's what it looked like ), so unless that's a screenshot from after you've already fought everyone, you might not have to fight your own side.

Actually, now that I think about it, that cutscene might be after you play as Shang Tsung and have to beat Kano, so you might have to fight everyone anyway.

Obviously, I have no idea.

Edit:
Sorry, I just realised you're talking about arcade mode. I'd say you'd have to fight an even number of random guys from both sides, with your counterpart before Dark Khan ( like you play as Batman and have to kill 4 MK, 4 DC, Sub-Zero then Dark Khan ). Otherwise it would get kind of boring fighting only one side.

I think the cutscene's from storymode. It would be great if we fought everyone and not just the opposing side. It'd be boring to perform a fatality only on the DC side, and vice versa!

I agree!
But do you think NPCs would be in arcade mode too?
Of course, that's assuming that there is NPCs and that they're not just in cutscenes ( which I doubt they'd do because then story mode would be really short or you'd have to kill everyone heaps of times ).

I hope they'll make me fight MK and DC. Wouldn't want to only fight one of them that's like saying Kano wouldn't fight Sonya.

How many guys do you think you'd have to go through in arcade?
If its about 10, there's no way you only have to fight the opposing side because it would be too repetitive.
If its about 5, you might just fight random guys from the opposing side because each time you play there'll still be some variation.
Still, I don't think you'd only fight the opposing team. The 'Rage' is supposed to make the characters do things they normally wouldn't do, and they normally wouldn't fight their allies ( except Shang Tsung... I love that guy ), so its probably a set number of each side, but random characters.

PLEASE make it mixed. i hated fighting the same line up of characters in the last games. and with the same set number of arenas. also it wasn't enough people to fight it was like nine or ten.

they need to bring back choose your destiny so you can go through the whole roster.

Maybe if midway is smart, not saying that they ever did anything that wasn't smart, they would make arcade mode to fight everyone. If they don't, they should have a vs mode that is also one player and you get to chose who you fight.

Hopefully it'll be mixed. It'd be great if the battleplan was longer and didn't fight the same characters in the same arenas.

the only thing I want to fix is to not always start out on the warship stage. Let's have random arenas, ok?

Be able to fight anyone, wherever. No more of this fixed character, fixed stage bullshit.

I've played Armageddon's arcade mode numerous times and I've yet to face Kitana, Kai, Jarek, or Shang Tsung.

Get with the program, Midway!

I think Midway will mix it up since Story Mode is bound to be more fixed than that, guys.

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yes sir, the check is in the mail."

Jack Burton anticipates that arcade mode will be a random gauntlet of opponents from both sides with Dark Kahn as the final boss, while the story mode will have you fight characters from the opposing franchise only.

Some of the thread entries had me confused as to what the discussion was about. That's a first!

And THAT'S what Jack Burton has to say at this time.

Just to side track a little, hopefully, all the arenas will be available too. I recall the meteor storm and evil tower arenas in MKA never say the light of day in arcade mode.

Otherwise, here's hoping we get to fight everyone.

I recall reading there was a coding issue, or it was something that was missed in testing that caused the same characters/arenas to be played in arcade mode.

As JackBurton said, it would be nice to have the arcade mode as a mix of all characters and the story mode to stick to mk vs dc.

Well if it is in fact a coding issue, does it take 6 years to resolve??? The character fixed to an arena issue has been there since MKDA, which came out in 2002.

If they do the same annoying stupid disgusting irritable horrible mistake they did in MKDA, MKD and MKA again I will be pissed off!!!!!!

They ALWAYS make you fight the same characters AND the same arenas.

Remember MKA? You could NEVER fight in more then just 10 of the 25+ arenas of the game. AGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will really hate it if they do that.

Arcade will be very boring again for those who cant play vs or online.

You know, whenever I fought Scorpion in Arcade Mode, it was always in the Lost Tomb.

At first I thought MK had gone Namco, then after a while I realized, "Damn, Scorpion can't go anywhere!" I really didn't mind, though. I love the Lost Tomb arena, and the Lost Tomb track even more.
