I think it's great as it is now. I mean, if you can have a PIT bottom that can either be covered in spikes and sword blades, or a plain stone ground whose only dramatic effect is to be splattered with blood... I think the choice is quite obvious, if you're aiming to really turn up the heat when it comes to the "brutality" factor of the stage fatality.

I say, keep it like it is. It's perfect already.

Well, the only problem is that Pit 1 kicked ass. And Pit 2 kicked ass. If Pit 2 has spikes now, what does that mean for Pit 1? Is it just another version of the pit with spikes, making the game have two spiked pits? Or is it not in the game at all?
I'd love to see a 3D version of Pit 3.

The fans cried out early on this one, so they may be rendering it as we speak.

We might only have one pit in this game. I think they did a best of both kind of thing, Pit2 was the best looking, while Pit1 had a better Fatal, imo. Pit3 just wasnt too memorable.

Personally, I think Pit 1 was more iconic than Pit 2.

I say leave it as it is right now and leave the Pit 1 out. Pit 1 and 2 are almost the same except the bottom, but the Pit 2 is much more detailed. There is no need to put them both in the game and it would also be a waste to let the Pit 1 bottom out.

Well, how about storyline? Pit 1 is on Shang Tsung's island. Pit 2 is in Outworld. If they're gonna cover MK1, will they not have the Pit in it?

Well, that’s a good one. Though I doubt they will put in all the stages from MK1-3. And I don’t think it will affect the story much if it is left out. Except if they are willing to do something with Reptile at the Pit bottom.

1,000% agree with you. the current pit in the new mk game looks awesome and seriously who gives a shit if it combines elements of both pit 1 and pit 2. if you want the 'real" pit 2 floor then go play a prior mk with it, imo.

on a side note... oh no, the new dead pool has people in the background lowering bodies on chains in to acid... AND THE ORIGINAL DEAD POOL BACKGROUND DID NOT! /end mockery.

the original pit 2 fatality was too good :<

Maybe they will add that fatality on the rooftop stage.

@Spike81:

But still. You got the reimagining of MK1. Whare are they going to keep?
We got Courtyard, Palace Gates, Warrior Shrine, Pit, Throne Room, Goro's Lair. That's 6. Now, Palace Gates was awesome, but not that iconic, IMO, so I don't think it'll make it in. Warrior Shrine was cool, but difficult to fit into the plot, so I dunno if it'll make it in. So those two aside, we're down to 4 arenas in the MK1 timeline, and without the Pit, it'll be only 3. That'll be pretty disappointing. Would they really choose one of those 2 over the original Pit?
Well, we'll see.
Honestly, I don't really care if both bits have spikes on them. I just wanna see Pit 1.
