Map Overview

Watergate is a community-made map with a custom mode called Player Destruction. Each player has a bounty on their head, which starts at $1. Killing someone will drop their bounty on their corpse, as well as increase their killer's bounty by $1. There is a control point that slowly produces money for whichever team owns it, and a UFO that will drop a care package in the center of the map every 90 seconds.

Watergate won 2nd place in the 2014 TF2Maps.net Major Mapping Contest #11, "Mercs vs. Aliens".

b1 (november 10th, 2014) (Internal):

  • full artpass

a5b (october 16th, 2014) (Internal):

  • made a new route from the sewers' start, up onto the bridge with the box climb up to medium healthpack walkway
  • made it so if you hold the tower then when the ufo comes it will drop 3 less cores for your team
  • 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
  • added a small health and ammo to the room in between spawn and tower
  • added more signage showing where the point is
  • fixed some clipping issues at mid that would slow players down if they walked backwards up the ramps
  • fixed up the box / barrel climb so its easier to climb up without hitting your head

a5a (october 10th, 2014):

  • brang spawns even closer to mid, and made the second exit instead route down to the sewer section
  • added a point icon showing it has something to do with cores
  • added some point arrow signs around the map / resupply signs too
  • made it so snipers aren't affected by the ufo beam
  • refined some ufo stuff still

a4b (october 9th, 2014):

  • moved spawns 256 units even closer to mid
  • redesigned the junction area and just linked the bottom sewer up to the window buildings
  • added a second way out of spawn and gave a one way window too
  • some ufo changes with lift speeds and arrival times

a3 (october 7th, 2014) (Internal):

  • moved spawns in 256 units closer to mid
  • blocked off the apartment line of sight so it was safer to move into the building
  • experimented with point / gamemode ideas

a2 (october 5th, 2014):

  • cut out the bottom section of the tower wall, opens up the point area for combat + sniper sightlines from bridge
  • increased occurrence of UFO
  • increased UFO speed / lift speed
  • 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
