Forums - Nintendo - Good news : Splatoon 2 reduces map rotation to two hours.

Wouldn't it just be easier to allow you to change weapons in between matches, along with being able to choose from many maps, and not just from 2 per 2 hours...?? I dunno why they're continuing with this. Perhaps they feel this would be overwhelming for newcomers.

No, that would mean longer wait between matches, Splatoon matches are 3 min. long and you very fast go on next match.

Great news, I liked map rotation but 4 hours definitely was too long, 2 hours is much better, but 3 maps instead 2 in 2 hours would be even better.

Ok look, I can get down with the rotation concept but 1) why not let us change weapons between matches and 2) WHY ONLY TWO MAPS?! YOU DO 3 DURING SPLATFEST, WHY NOT ALL THE DANG TIME?!?!

A slight improvement to this map rotation concept. But I still find this one kind of strange. I understood it where we only had 4-5 maps in total. But more and more maps were added to the game and you could still only choose 2 for 4 hours. And afaik even after the Splatfest, the night variations of the maps were gone.
At least, add 4 maps in the 2 hour map cycle and if available, use also different time variations.

I would much prefer if you can just choose the maps you want to play ;/

But as long as we don't have sit through the news for every rotation, then that's good

They may not have faith that enough people will be playing. The current strategy forces everyone looking to play online to join the same games, reducing waits and such.

I like to think this will be successful enough that it won't need such a trick, but I don't really mind the technique either; Splatoon is definitely one of those games you can pick up and play quickly and briefly, so a focus on streamlining the online process is helpful in that regard.

I see, that does make sense.

I don't care as much as only having 2 maps per rotation. I want at least 3, preferably 4
