Cadence is a girl who could have been my daughter had I dated her mother in high school instead of the woman I'm with today. What's that? I've got the wrong Cadence? Oh yes, that's right, I'm supposed to be writing about the Throwdown map for rounds eight and nine. Let me try this again.

Cadence is a multi-leveled, symmetrical map built in the coliseum by Reflex lon. It's unique layout can be often judged as confusing, but I assure you by the end of your first practice match, you'll be able to play on it blindfolded. The design concept for this arena offers mainly close-to-mid range combat, but the two parallel hallways that stretch across the map are perfect for long range DMR battles. However, being at the bottom of these passageways for too long isn't the best option. Plenty of catwalks and windows lie above so gaining height advantage is a crucial tactic. If you do so happen to find yourself being shot at in these corridors you shouldn't be too far away from one of the openings that cut across to the other side.

Fleeing isn't the only purpose these open gaps serve; a Concussion Rifle sits on a throne in the middle opening for easy pickup. At the end of the hallways on the high side is a Rocket Launcher laying between two orange antennae. On the opposite side of the map there are two Sniper Rifles that rest on the wall of their corresponding side. Just below them is an Evade pickup that's perched in the back opening on top of the glass floor. If Evade isn't your cup of tea, an Armor Lock pickup can be found in the overpass on the second story.

Now that you're done reading the article (you did read it, didn't you?) check out the video and pictures of this here map you're about to download. Once you've sent the file to your xbox come and meet me at Gamestop for the Gears 3 launch party! ...Oh wait, you've got to practice on Cadence, I forgot.
Notice: The term "Playing Blindfolded" is just a metaphor. Myself, Reflex lon, or any other staff member are not responsible for any team who loses the competition due to playing blindfolded.
