El mapa esta ambientado en una fábrica de cervezas y los edificios que lo rodean durante una invasión alienígena. Mientras los alienígenas atacan nuestros mercenarios se refugian en los bares durante el apocalipsis mundial hasta que, con la ayuda de la ciencia, ¡descubren que los alienígenas no disfrutan de beber cerveza! Ellos han desarrolado un plan de accion y estan listos para ponerlo en marcha.. — Descripción en la Workshop de Steam

Watergate Es un mapa creado por la comunidad ambientado en un pueblo costero durante una invasion alienígena y cuenta con un modo de juego exclusivo para el mapa llamado Player Destruction.

La meta de cada equipo es recolectar cerveza que los enemigos asesinados dejan caer al morir y depositar dichos items en un OVNI que se encuentra en el centro del mapa para emborracharlo y anotar puntos. Al morir, cada jugador deja caer una cerveza mas todas las cervezas que haya recolectado(las que se muestran sobre su cabeza y en su respectiva HUD), las cuales pueden ser recogidas por los jugadores de ambos equipos. El jugador con mas cervezas en cada equipo (a excepción de los Spy) ademas se vuelve "lider", lo que le permite regenerar salúd y munición para si mismo y los que le rodeen (con la misma capacidad que un Dispenser de nivel 1) al mismo tiempo que les asigna un contorno visible a traves de las paredes que puede ser visto por ambos equipos. Las cervezas caeran al suelo si un jugador intenta llevarlas a un resupply area, pero pueden ser abandonadas manualmente presionando el botón para dejar caer objetos(Default key: L).

Para anotar, los jugadores deben depositar las cervezas recolectadas en un OVNI ubicado en el centro del mapa, el cual aparece cada 52 segundos y se mueve lentamente alrededor del area con un rayo tractór, antes de moverse hacia el límite del mapa para retirarse despues de que hayan transcurrido 34 segundos. Mientras esten bajo los efectos del rayo del OVNI, los jugadores pueden moverse libremente como si estuvieran nadando en el agua y las cervezas que hayan recolectado seran depositadas gradualmente en el OVNI para ser añadidas al puntaje de sus respectivos equipos. Los jugadores pueden ademas impedir que los jugadores del equipo rival depositen sus cervezas y anoten entrando en el rayo del OVNI.

Al agregar mas y mas cervezas en el OVNI, se volvera mas y mas ebrio, tambaleandose visiblemente cada vez mas mientras mas alto sea el puntaje de cada equipo. Una vez que uno de los equipos alcanza la meta para ganar una partida(el numero de puntos necesario para ganar es proporcional al numero de jugadores al inicio de la ronda) se alejara volando erráticamente hasta chocar con la nave nodriza que se encuentra a la distancia, destruyendola y marcando la victoria para ese equipo.

Watergate ganó el segundo lugar en el 11vo Gran Concurso de Mapas del 2014 realizado por TF2Maps.net, titulado "Mercs vs Aliens".

Update history

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

• 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'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

• 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

Curiosidades

• En versiones iniciales del mapa, El modo de juego Player Destruction era muy diferente al actual. En vez de dejar caer cervezas que tenias que ser depositadas en el OVNI, los jugadores asesinados dejaban caer fajos de dinero especificos para cada equipos (los cuales eran versiones modificadas de los núcleos de Robot Destruction) los cuales eran añadidos instantaneamente al puntaje de cada equipo al ser recogidos. Mientras mas enemigos y mas dinero recolectara un jugador, mayor seria la recompensa al eliminarlo convirtiendolos en un objetivo mucho mas valioso para sus enemigos. Ademas, al no tener que entregar estos fajos directamente en el OVNI para anotar puntos, la función de este era dejar caer paquetes de bonificación en el centro del mapa sobre un punto de control neutral, el que ademas generaria fajos de dinero adicionales para el equipo que lo capturara. cuando uno de los equipos alcanzaba $150, un barril era lanzado desde el punto de control y aterrizaba en la nave nodriza que se encontraba a la distancia, destruyéndola. Esta versión fue eventualemte descartada en favor de la actual ya que los jugadores con recompensas muy altas simplemente se escondían en la base para evitar ser asesinados y por que sin las mecánicas del OVNI recolectado los puntos o del "lider de equipo" el juego carecía de un objetivo específico por el cual pelear.
