Yeah, this topic has been done before, but its buried deep somewhere in the forums, and you know how mad the mods get when you bump dead topics, so lets try to keep this one alive.

MKDA Had some great concepts for arenas. This isn't a thread asking which old arenas you want to see redone, its asking you which MKDA Arenas, that didn't make the final cut, would you like to see possibly implemented in Deception? Its probably a little late for Midway to take notice of this if they really do visit the forums, but hey, they seem to listen, and they still got time to work on it.

Me, personally, I would love to see the Swamplands arena. I liked the concept of fighting in knee-deep water...thatwould definitely be cool to see the blood run and stain the water while you fight. As for it being interactive...maybe kicking opponents into the trees and breaking logs and getting tossed into rocks would be pretty cool...maube there'd be a line of trees that you could break through into a grotto-like area, or some sort of marsh. As for level dangers...maybe one part leads to hungry man-eating vines (think of Trident's stage from Eternal Champions), or another area that leads to deeper water with a nasty little beast waiting inside. Given Reptile's apparent importance to the story now, it would be interesting to see this level make it in. I liked the concept of the Chamber of the Elder Gods too.

What cut MKDA arenas would you want to see in Deception? What kind of interactionsdo you think they should have? Check the old Krypt sketches and share your thoughts.

I hope the swamplands make it into Deception. I think if they put this level into the game they could make it a mix between the living forest and swamplands. Like have the tree's in the swamplands be living and grab the fighters and other cool things like that. I also like the idea of fighting in knee deep water. It would make things more interesting and you could make some cool stage fatalities/death traps with the water and living forest (if they make the swamplands and living forest into one level). It would make for a pretty kick A$$ level.

Bring the pit back, and the Living Forest, and maybe some other level. Probably the Clock tower or whatever that is if I had to pick something.

Well, since they never made it into MKDA, they would technically be new backgrounds in Deception, since we would have never seen them before.

I'd like to see them back too, but keep this on topic, please? I'm asking about MKDA arenas that didn't make the final cut, not what stages you want to see from old games.

the dojo - when i first saw the concept pic in the krypt, i just thought hell that would have been a great background. And seeing as in MK:D the backgrounds will be huge and multi-tiered, the dojo would be perfect.

The Swamplands, of course.

And Bloodstone Mine sounded like an intriguing concept to me as well... imagine a mine with blood-red stones, with e.g. dead people in them, dark tunnels, lots of tools to use, deep pits, some water (or steam, or lava)... Would be cool, no?

The Swamplands would be cool, having that water up to ur knees sounds cool. Also for a fatality u could drown the person, or if u go to far the water will just have a drop and u fall into deep water and sum weird shark animal kills u.

I'd like to see the Bloodstone Mine too. Maybe a death trap could be that a character gets knocked in the path of a drill bit. I think the Swamplands would be fantastic in terms of gloomy ambiance, esp. with lots of fog and all sorts of creepy creatures in the background. I also like the Blade Arena - death trap city!!

I was playing MK:DA today and I was looking at the concept art and I checked out the cave concept render and that level looks freakin' cool. It looks like it could be another pit level. I would really like to see this level put into MK:D. I would also like to see the swamplands in the game like I said in an earlier reply in this thread.

Peace Out
it may not be an area, but how about fighting in the crypt?

especially if the enviroment is interactable and u can break the head stones

Wow, those ideas about the swamplands are AWESOME!! Fighting knee-deep in swampwater. Kicking someone through some branches and having them land in a grotto, vines grabbing you etc. Sounds great! I'd like to see some shadows of things slithering underneath you, with a lot of creepy forest ambiance and really low key music.

The cave also sounds like a good idea. Hopefully this thread will remain alive long enough for me to go back and check the krypt for more on thie proposed backgrounds that didn't make it. Still, that swamplands idea is freakin cool!

I wanted to see the Water Temple and living forest areanas.I also had an idea for a Lin Kuei Lab, where the cyborgs were built. You would see some modles in suspension tubes. You would be able to knock the person into computers, light switches, lasers, and tubing that would spit out fog which would cover the areana.

Why yes but that would have to be the Tekunin HQ though, since the Lin Kuei stopped doing cyborgs when Sub-Zero became grand master.

I definitely think the blade arena should be put in. I saw the test video in the Krypt in MK: DA and it made me really sad when it wasn't in the actual game.

Swamp was the only round in mkda that really stuck out to me. Errr and that one with the statue of old Shang Tsung. But MKD's dark gameplay wont allow mkda's rounds to fit in rather well. I say they should re-do some of the rounds from mk2 or mk4. Those two games were rather dark.

I want the Senate of Elder Gods stage. Too many possibilities for death traps being surrounded by Elder Gods.

Yea man, the other topic was buried deep in those three pages. Im sure the mods would be furious. Anyway, id like to see the swamplands created. I like that giant lizard idea.

I see alot of people having an interest in the cave...if I remember correctly, wasn't that the arena where there was a stone bridge suspended over a bunch of stalagmites(stalagtites?), which looked like it could've ended up being a pit, with the opponent being impaled on the rocks below. There was a test video of it in the krypt...it definitely looked cool. That would've been a nice addition to MKD.

Beats the fuck outta me, I didn't see that topic on any of the first 3 pages. Well whatever.
I'll post to this though because I still love ya.

I would love the cave arena to be inserted into the game because it just reminds me so much of The Pit if you notice the spikes below the bridge. Yeah, that's what I want to see.
