Yeah, the RED spawn stood out as really weird, but everything else, including what looks like a new skybox? *WHEEEEEEEW* I barely recognized the second stage from some of those shots.
And the "now two stages thing"... I assume you had three before, though I don't remember what it was like. Are you cutting it out altogether, or just pulling a Zig and removing it for now since you don't have time to finish detailing it?
