That's how it is but you have another 2 for ranked battles, so 4 every hour. You need to be level 10 to play ranked.

So 2 maps until I'm level 10.

Was pitted against a lot of better players today, which certainly made things more interesting. Those fucking krakens.

Played for 40-50 minutes and made it to level 5. Everyone seems pretty noobish so far, as the worst I did was 2nd a couple of times to a level 20----who I beat as many times. But this 2 map shit is awful. Am I missing something, or are you literally stuck playing 2 maps until they rotate it?

Right? RIGHT?

This Nintendo bullshit, suffering their stupidity is the worst, because they do this shit while making really cool games. If they sucked like EA or something it would be so much easier ;_;

Ben uses Kraken, piece of shit.

Everytime I have him dead to rights, boom kraken, because he's got his build set up that he'll get his special without ever having to reload so by the time he makes it to midfield or a combat zone, kraken. What a butthole.

Literally cheating.

Wow, the Urchin underpass stage has been completely revamped.  It's hardly recognizable.    It looks a lot more complex with more, larger area's for skirmishes to unfold and more cover to hide behind.

Bah, I liked Urchin Underpass as it was...  At least my usual spot to camp on and annoy the opposition came through rather unscathed.

Splatoon - Urchin Underpass Head-to-Head Comparison

Ehh...  I don't know.  It didn't appear to me that each match would be determined early on by who managed to control the center area.

What chokepoint?  There are 3 routes into the central erea and 2 going out.

I'm playing it now. The Splatling is genius, you can't pop out and ink because of the charge, nice balance.

Played some Tower control and turf wars.  Boy, Splatling was made for Tower control.  They'll just wait for you and shoot their load at the tower before retreating.  If you've got 2 on the opposite side there's no way you're getting to their goal.  But yeah, for turf wars they're practically useless.  Urchin Underpass is beyond recognition.  There's so much room everywhere.  It's like all the bottlenecks have been pulled wide open with ramps and obstacles everywhere.  Perhaps it'll fall back in a groove after a while, but now it's just mayhem.

if you go into a squad of 3, which it has the option for a tri-squad, you run the risk of being in 3 v 4 matches, intentionally. Instead of just having a 3 v 3 mode, instead of letting you party up in regular battle, instead of just letting us have a 4th random, they do this bullshit.

No squad up for regular battle

No 3 v 3

Still a stupid ass rotation.

Fucking Nintendo.

Same with chargers and scopes I guess.

I haven't had time to recon urchin underpass yet. So far I prefer the old one.

I don't agree that they're similar to chargers and scopes.  with chargers and scopes, proximity to the foe or some form of aiming is required respectively.  With the splatling, you can keep at a nice distance, out of reach of many of the other weapons and just shoot your load without having to worry much about trivialities like aiming, since you can just carpet bomb the top of the tower.
