Splatoon 2 Version 3.0.0 Arrives Later Today, Includes Fan-Favourite Stage Camp Triggerfish

Let the floodgates open.

Looking forward to it! I'm more excited for the new theme park stage than camp triggerfish though...

Can this be played local multiplayer only? Goldeneye style?

X rank matches will be interesting...

Still no Flounder Heights?

@Stocksy No split screen. Only if you have multiple Switches

Need to get back to splatoon. Rocket league is not helping

@BigKing Thanks mate.

Still no option to skip the sh*** talk at begin

I was just searching for this yesterday

Camp Triggerfish was the only reason I would turn on Splatoon 1.

Tower Control + Camp Triggerfish = my favorite.

@Stocksy Its mainly an online multiplayer game. But yes, as someone mentioned previously, it can be played locally too. Not split screen though. One Switch per person is what we're talking about.

Saltspray...maybe? Love this update. Love Camp Triggerfish. Love Splatoon!!!

Woohoo!

@Grafeaux Nope, Saltspray was broken (which is widely accepted) and imho there are other old maps like Fliunder Heights and Mahi Mahi that should return.

yesss! loved this level on the Wii U!

@shani Saltspray might have been "broken" but I always found it extremely fun. They could easily fix it too in my opinion. I always think I hated F heights, but I remember all the random crap I used to do on there. Mahi Mahi is what I want though!

I'm nowhere near rank X, but I hope it makes S+ <= 9 ranks a little bit more balanced with all the high ranking people moving to X.

I forgot this update was coming this month. In any case it gives me a good reason to start playing ranked matches again, I was cautious being S Ranked being match with/against people who are more dedicated to the mode than me (only plays Salmon Run currently).

Very excited for Triggerfish. It was my favorite stage in Splatoon.

its goin down...

Wish Nintendo had fixed the issue of being kicked out of a Salmon Run Online Lounge group when the game changed it's multiplayer maps for other modes. I get that the game needs to do that for Ranked and Turf War and League but for Salmon Run? Come on. It's always one map for the duration of the Salmon Run. It's annoying when playing with friends because you get kicked out, then you have to create another room and re-invite everyone through the Switch Online App. For Salmon Run, this booting everyone out every time multiplayer maps change for other modes should be deactivated.

@shani I guess I am not familiar with why it was broken. I always enjoyed it.

@Stocksy No. The ONLY knock I have on this game. 9/10, and it keeps getting better though, IMO....

@NapalmPsalm @Grafeaux

Don't get me wrong, Saltspray was one of my favourite SZ maps in the first months!
But TC didn't make much sense on it and RM was really broken because one side (I think the one starting in the left) always had an advantage. Also, getting from the Spawn to the action was quite a long way.

But I think instead of putting the energy i to fixing it, they should do the other stages first.
I loved Flounder especially for RM.

I guess I'm the only one waiting for Saltspray Rig. It was my favorite stage.

@shani how about bluefin Depot?

@Grafeaux Nah, I never like that stage, probably my least favourite stage overall (yes, even behind Saltspray ).
It's just too confusing with the main field being split in two and you never know where the SZ will be. It was way too easy for snipers to just sit at the top and take out everyone in the main field, you couldn't do much against them.
Since Splatoon 2's map design is the exact opposite - i.e. snipers are more exposed and can't just camp at one spot for the whole match - Bluefin Depot would have to be heavily modified.

That's the great thing about maps like Mahi Mahi - it already complies to Splatoon2's map conventions.

My favorite change of this patch is that Haunt now applies a Respawn Punisher effect if you revenge splat someone while it's active. There's gonna be some salty squids out there, LOL!!

Also, I think they can bring back Saltspray Rig if they modify it. If they split up the spawns and maybe flip them, in a north/south manner, so there's 2 entrances to the container/crane area, one in front and back, and change it so they're symmetrical. Also, maybe move those side perches inwards so they let you snipe closer to the center area. The biggest problem I had with Saltspray in Splatoon 1 was that the whole container area would sometimes be left untouched. It's just a lot of wasted space.

@masterLEON It was basically a race to the back and then holding the choke point to win turf war.

I'm happy about the new gear. I have almost 3M gold and I never see any new gear in the shops or in the app. I'm also excited about X rank because it gets the elite players as far away from me as possible. I'm still hoping that Splatoon 1 music will be added. I never owned a Wii U so the only time I hear Splatack! is in MK8D battle mode.

@NapalmPsalm Truth. And Rainmaker bypassed that area completely. Tower Control (post patch) and Splat Zones got a little past the choke point (the both sides of the choke was basically the zone), but that's it. The container area would sometimes be used to charge specials.
