「

The map is set in a beer factory and its neighbouring buildings under the siege of an alien invasion. With aliens attacking our merc teams sink back to their bars during the worldwide apocalypse, but with science they find aliens don't enjoy drinking beer! They concoct a plan of action and put it to use.. — Steam Workshop description

Watergateはエイリアンに侵略される海辺の町を舞台にした、コミュニティ製のプレイヤー・デストラクションマップです。

両チームの目標は、倒した敵が落とすビールを集めてマップ中央のUFOへと運び、エイリアンを酔わせることで加算されるポイントを集めることです。死亡したプレイヤーはビール1つと、運んでいる最中のビール（頭上およびHUDに表示されます）全てをその場に落とし、どちらのチームのプレイヤーも拾えるようになります。各チームの中で最もビールを多く運んでおり、かつスパイではないプレイヤーが「チームリーダー」となります。リーダーは周囲の味方にレベル1ディスペンサーと同じレートでヘルスと弾薬を補給しますが、他のプレイヤーから壁越しでも見られるようになってしまいます。ビールを補給エリアに持ち込むことはできず、持ち込もうとすると地面に落ちてしまいます。また、ドロップキー(初期設定: L)を押して地面に落とすこともできます。

ポイントを得るためには、マップ中央に現れるUFOのところにビールを運ばなければなりません。UFOは52秒置きに現れてエリア一帯に牽引ビームを照射し、34秒経つとマップの端に飛んでいってしまいます。UFOが発射するビームの中では、プレイヤーは水中にいるかのように浮かび、集めたビールは徐々にUFOへと回収されてスコアに変換されます。プレイヤーはビームで回収されているビールを拾い、敵チームのスコアになるのを妨害することもできます。

UFOがビールをたくさん集めるほどエイリアンが酔っぱらい、スコアの高いチームの方にフラフラと近づくようになります。どちらかのチームが勝利ポイントに達すると（必要なポイントはラウンド開始時のプレイヤー数によって決まります）、酔っ払ったUFOが遠くにある母艦へ墜落し、爆発して勝者が決定します。

Watergateは2014年に行われたTF2Maps.netの Major Mapping Contest #11, "Mercs vs. Aliens"において2位に入賞したマップです。

アップデート履歴

rc4 (september 8th, 2015):

• Clouds around mothership
• Remade assorted map models
• Raised sand in sewer and added small healthpack
• Optimised collision mesh of the boat to be less arbitrary
• Put teleporter-nobuilds on previously trappable surfaces

rc3 (august 27th, 2015):

• New mothership model with associated particle effects!
• Optimised areaportal locations (portal rendering)
• Optimised occluder locations (prop rendering)
• Added LODs & fades to props (poly rendering)
• Made the UFO timer more obvious of its purpose
• Fixed crash relating to low model quality
• Fixed players getting stuck at the top of the UFO beam

rc2 (july 17th, 2015):

• A barricade has been added to the dropdown inbetween the crane and window buildings.
• The UFO has been given a neutral outline when it appears in the area which helps with goal recognition.
• We've spruced up the spawn with some juice.. and beer taps, and better chalkboard textures.
• Bright light added to attract attention to the tower route.
• A small fence has been added onto the raised spawn battlements to block a potentially powerful sightline to the spawn room door.
• The middle bridge has been widened a bit.
• The crane building upper floor has been given more light so you can see the silhouettes of Snipers easier.
• Patch added under healthpack.
• Patch added under healthpack, critical changes these.

b10 (july 3rd, 2015):

• We've changed the UFO beam water trigger from the halloween Jarate condition to a plugin-based "you're now in water" mechanic, which allows Pyro flames and sounds to be played in the beam uninterrupted while still allowing good player movement.
• We've spruced up the bottom sewer to mid connectors with better detail.
• More detail to the insides of the crane buildings also.
• Cool new map image and text for the chalkboard and the loading screen!
• We've given some more light contrast around important locations on Red side to make it easier to notice these places and to make the area less boring to look at.
• We've fixed a bug that allowed players to contest beer deposits while being below the tower platform. We've also re-added the gentle-fall trigger_push from the UFO beam arriving at the tower.
• The speed of the UFO flying past the map has been reduced from 100 hu/s to 70 hu/s, making it last about 11 extra seconds in the map. This makes it easier to hop into the beam if you notice its entry late, or to catch up to it as it scrolls past the map.
• Steps have been added to these middle side platforms.
• Getting onto the boat has become easier: it's been lowered into the sand, the animation has become static (it used to sway), and there are boxes with ladders (all clipped nicely) leading onto the platform.
• There's a new bottle pickup model and collision mesh (old collision mesh was butts so it sometimes didn't work when it should have).
• And we've added some more details to spawn!

b9c (june 21st, 2015):

• added new dropdown route from tower to sewer area near spawn - can be used as rollout
• added dx80 versions of the ufo & nuke particles

• improved clipping & displacements in mid sewer section
• improved readability of the arrow signs near crane building
• improved maneuverability up the garbage bag route near crane building
• changed around some prop fade distances
• opened up the mid sewer section and lit the bottom for smoother gameplay
• made the saucer incoming and outgoing sounds quieter
• made watergate brush metal darker
• made default beer deposit speed 1 beer every 1.2 seconds, decreasing by 0.033 per player
• made tractor beam lift trigger the swim-in-air condition trigger to improve maneuverability
• fixed the Mann Beer sign edges showing up

b7a (may 14th, 2015):

• made it so players can escape along the sides of the ufo beam
• made it so you can get up the pipe jump without a crouch jump
• made it so you can't capture the point while standing on the Sniper ledge
• made the healthpack in apartment a medium, and added a small health to the top of tower

• tried adding neutral outline to point but that seems to have not worked
• added an overhang from the windows, adds route from tower > windows / windows > lower tower
• added blockbullet all around the boat so cores don't go through it
• made the point's core drops in groups of 3 / 15 seconds, instead of 1 / 5 seconds

トリビア

• このマップの初期バージョンでは、プレイヤー・デストラクションのゲームモードは今とは全く違うものでした。ビールを集めてUFOに運ぶのではなく、死亡したプレイヤーが落とすチーム別のキャッシュ（ロボット破壊のコアのリスキン）を拾うだけでスコアに加算されるものでした。より多くの敵を倒したプレイヤーほど賞金額（HUDに表示されます）が上昇し、倒されたときに落とすキャッシュの量が増えるので、敵チームから狙われやすくなるシステムでした。プレイヤーは拾ったキャッシュを運ぶ必要がなく、UFOはマップ中央に「ケアパッケージ」と呼ばれる大量のキャッシュを落としていました。UFOの牽引ビームに捕まったプレイヤーはマップの最高地点にあるコントロールポイントに登れるようになり、ここをキャプチャーするとそのチーム用のキャッシュが少しずつ生成されるようになります。どちらかのチームが$150集めると、コントロールポイントがある建物からタルが発射され、母艦を破壊します。このバージョンのゲームモードでは、賞金額のシステムのせいでプレイヤーがやられないようにスポーン地点にこもってしまうようになり、またUFOに集めるシステムやチームリーダー制度無しではプレイヤー同士が戦う必要性に欠けていたため、最終的にボツになって現在のものになりました。
