Showdown

Showdown (also known as SD) is currently a Combat Arms EU-exclusive map. It is featured as a Chinese (note that there are neon signs with Chinese characters on it) urban jungle, where the players are in an alleyway (or a small courtyard) with accessible buildings. Like Death Room was when first made, this map is currently an Elimination-only map.

Overview
An urban area like Showdown tends to be exciting.

Bases
Each team spawns in a base (possibly), which is abandoned buildings opposite of each other.

Courtyard
The courtyard is what is separating both Bases from each other. There are a few crashed, run-down trucks that provide cover from CQB firefights and possible sniping from the bases' windows. There are also several paths that allow entry to the bases on the sides, and a path to a cargo loading zone part of a inaccessible warehouse that can be used as potential camping.

Trivia

 * Showdown is the first map to feature neon signs.
 * Showdown is the first map to have a new walking sound; the sound of walking on fabric when you walk on the canopy outside of bravos base.

Strategies

 * To get on the roof of the alpha base pull out your knife, jump onto the catwalk then on the rail (dont fall, you are at such a height that it will show up as a suicide) then on the ledge (above the door) then leap on the the roof.
