Mannhattan is a Mann vs. Machine map released in the Two Cities Update. It sees players in a metropolis area resembling Manhattan, USA, defending the manufacturing arm of Mann Co.'s "Mhankö" line.
Unique to this map are its two gates, labelled Gate A and Gate B. Roughly half of the robots that spawn are "gatebots" which wear the Gate bot hat, identified by glowing yellow lights on their heads, which ignore the bomb and instead try to open the gates much like capturing control points. When one or more gatebots are near or capturing a gate, an alarm sounds to all players, alerting that a gate is being captured. Once a gate is captured, all bombs currently in play are sent back to spawn and all non-giant robots are stunned for approximately twenty seconds. When this time expires, a loud whistle blows (similar to Foundry), and the robots resume their assault, gaining guaranteed Critical hits for a short period of time. Note that unlike control points, the robots' capture progress cannot be blocked by the presence of a player and robots can still capture the point if Übered; every robot in the capture zone must be destroyed to stop the capture progress.
The capturing of a gate has three effects that make the defenders' job more difficult: the robots' spawn moves up to the newly captured gate, captured gates cannot be closed or recaptured for the rest of the wave, and an additional bomb is brought into play for each gate captured. This forces the defenders to split their forces accordingly, as players then have to defend against two or three bombs at once. In the event both gates are captured, the remaining gatebots' lights turn off, and they join the rest of the horde in carrying the bombs.
Tanks do not spawn on this map.
The map contains 3 missions: the Intermediate mission Big Apple Barricade, the Advanced missions Empire Escalation and Metro Malice.
