'''Cottonmouth''' is the setting of [[Manhunt 2]], a game released by [[Rockstar Games]], the company behind the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series. It is mused that Cottonmouth would exist in the same fictional world as the GTA III Era, because of overlaps and references within them. Cottonmouth is much more modern, cleaner and safer than [[Carcer City]], with skyscrapers in the area of Downtown, as well as domiciled houses and blocks.
 
  +
'''Cottonmouth''' is a major city located in an unidentified state in the Southeastern United States that appears in ''[[Manhunt 2]]'', as part of the [[3D Universe]] of the ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]'' series.
   
  +
The name of the city is never explicitly mentioned in dialogue; however, it is revealed on the city's sewer manhole covers in-game and other unused textures.<ref name="Textures">Textures:<br />[[File:Chopper86decals128a-MH2-Texture.png|100px|''chopper86decals128a'']][[File:Manhole cm-MH2-Texture.png|100px|''manhole_cm'']]<br/>[[File:DaschundBuses-MH2-UnusedLogo.png|100px|Unused Daschund logo]]</ref>
==About the City==
 
  +
Rockstar confirms that Cottonmouth is inspired by several southern US cities such as New Orleans, Atlanta, Charleston and Tampa, not being based on one in particular. One possible reason for this is that the skyline (as seen in the level "Domestic Disturbance") looks fairly similar to that seen in New Orleans. It is currently not known when exactly the city was founded and its Mayor remains unnamed.
 
  +
==Influences==
  +
Similarly to [[Liberty City (3D Universe)|Liberty City]] in ''[[Grand Theft Auto III]]'' and [[Carcer City (3D Universe)|Carcer City]] in ''[[Manhunt]]'', the city of Cottonmouth is not inspired by one, but multiple cities from a specific region of the United States.

  +
According to [[Rockstar Games]], Cottonmouth is a hybrid of multiple large southern US cities, including {{WP|New Orleans}}, {{WP|Charleston}}, {{WP|Atlanta}}, but not any one in particular. <ref name="Cottonmouth">[http://web.archive.org/web/20131228130440/https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/36881/asked-answered-max-payne-3-and-grand-theft-auto-v.html ''"Asked & Answered: Max Payne 3 and Grand Theft Auto V"'' - Rockstar Newswire, July 12th 2012. (Internet Archive)]</ref>
  +
 
===Etymology===
  +
The city is named after the ''{{WP|Agkistrodon piscivorus}}'', a species of semiaquatic vipers native to the Southeastern United States, commonly known as '''cottonmouths'''.
   
 
==Geography==

[[File:Cottonmouth-MH2-Skyline.png|thumb|250px|Skyline of Cottonmouth.]]
In the level ‘Most Wanted’ many of the houses are surrounded by palm trees, which would seem to link the city to Florida, due to the more tropical climate needed for palm trees to thrive. This possibility is strengthened by the Police Mavericks seen to share the same colour scheme as the Vice City Police Department (with Vice City being based on Miami, Florida). But in-game, mountains are seen so Florida could not possibly house the city of Cottonmouth because Florida is a mostly flat state with no mountains at all.<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">

Cottonmouth is much more modern, cleaner, and safer than [[Carcer City (3D Universe)|Carcer City]], with skyscrapers in the area of City Center, as well as domiciled houses and blocks.

  +
Being in a humid-subtropical zone in the southeastern region, palm trees are commonly seen throughout the city. Many of the houses in residential districts are surrounded by palm trees and other trees native to the region.
==Crime==
 
===2006 - 2007===
 
Cottonmouth in [[2006]] - [[2007]] is a very clean and safe place. This is due to very little crime taking place and only 4 levels of Manhunt 2 occur during this period. It is once said that there has been no mugging for 8 years.
 
   
  +
A mountain is also seen from afar as part of the game’s skydome, seemingly inspired by the {{WP|Driskill Mountain}}'s natual summit in the real-life state of {{WP|Louisiana}}.
===2012 - 2013===
 
  +
Cottonmouth in 2012 - [[2013]] is very dark, miserable, dirty and scary place. The reason for this is the rapid rise in crime and much more of the Manhunt 2 levels (14) take place during this time.
 
  +
===Districts===
  +
{{Manhunt Wiki|Category: Locations in Manhunt 2}}

There are multiple districts, neighborhoods and landmarks visited during the events of ''Manhunt 2'', some of which are only named in the game's manual.

==Weather==

[[File:Cottonmouth-MH2-HurricaneDamage.png|thumb|250px|Hurricane damage in Wooddale, Cottonmouth, circa 2007.]]
  +
Due to its geographical location, Cottonmouth is very often at risk of hurricanes and is commonly affected by tropical or subtropical cyclones. This real-life fact is used as a plot device to explain the derelict-looking residential areas between the flashbacks and present day events in-game.
  +
  +
As it is located close to the [[Gulf of Mexico]], the city experiences thunderstorms very frequently. Ironically, the present day events of ''Manhunt 2'' are only made possible due to an inconvenient thunderstorm.
   
 
==Television==
 
==Television==
The only known television station in Cottonmouth is TV-MK. This channel transmits news, weather, talk shows, films etc.

*The residential district in the level Domestic Disturbance is similar to the [[Rockshore West]] district in Las Venturas.
 
*The studio back lot is quite like [[Red County]] in [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]].
 
*In the hidden interiors universe in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] there are brothels similar to the Bees Honey Pot.

  +
After the assassination of The Project's main financial contributor {{Manhunt|Stanley Grex}} in the middle of the {{Manhunt|Maibatsu Plaza|Maibatsu Corporation plaza}} by doctor Lamb (under control of Kasper), a wide-spread manhunt occurred in the residential areas of Cottonmouth, resulting in the imprisonment of Lamb/Kasper.
==Etymology==
 
Cottonmouth describes the feeling when someone's mouth gets dry, usually after smoking marijuana.
 
   
  +
Six years later, in the year 2007, the city is depicted as a very dark, miserable, dirty, and unsettling place, devastated by recent severe weather conditions. This gave the opportunity for the rapid rise in crime in the city, including the emerging street gang “{{Manhunt|The Red Kings|Red Kings}}” trying to take control of the city's {{Manhunt|Red Light District}}.
It is also a common name for a type of venomous snake found in the southeastern US.
 
   
  +
A local strip club named {{Manhunt|Le Papillon Rouge}} is also used as a front for recruitment by The Project, as well as being a major S&M dungeon and torture chamber run by {{Manhunt|The Pervs}} gang.
==Trivia==
 
*The Police Maverick in Manhunt 2 shares its color scheme (green and white) with the [[Police Maverick]] serving with the Vice City Police Department, and the combination "M616PD" from VCPD Police Mavericks appear on the Cottonmouth Police Mavericks (This means Rockstar used the Police Maverick model from Vice City as the basis for the Cottonmouth Police Mavericks). The Police Maverick doesn't bear a state seal in normal gameplay, but in a segment of a session with Leo Kasper, it shows the Police Maverick with such a state seal with Louisiana state seal.
 
*Oddly the Cottonmouth Police cars do not appear to bear any state seal or city name, only showing the word 'Police'. Also, the police cars are coloured in black and white suggesting the L.A.P.D. police cars scheme.
 
*The police of Cottonmouth appears to be based on the New Orleans Police Dept. They share similar emblems. The cops also wear blue uniforms with the logo on both shoulders, much like the present-day N.O.P.D.

==Transport==

While there are no known subway lines in the city, the {{Manhunt|Watkins Trainyard}} is located in the industrial zone, near the {{Manhunt|Ten Four Trucking}} company warehouse, implying the city has a functional railway system. The trainyard is located under an unnamed elevated expressway.

  +
A Daschund Buses company was originally planned to appear in ''Manhunt 2'', but was cut during development. According to a logo seen on [[Steven Walsh]]'s portfolio, the motto of the company was "Cottonmouth's Premiere Public Transport". It was the third concept iteration of the Greyhound-inspired company, after [[Whippet Express Coach]] in ''GTA III'' and the cut [[Dash-hound]] in ''GTA San Andreas''.

==Police Department==

Unlike the [[Carcer City (3D Universe)#Police Department|CCPD]] in the previous title, the Cottonmouth Police Department don't play a major role in the storyline, making minor appearances in the present day events and being dispatched to capture and kill the Maibatsu Plaza serial killer (a.k.a. Lamb/Kasper) in Wooddale.

Manhunt Wiki has an article on Cottonmouth

Cottonmouth is a major city located in an unidentified state in the Southeastern United States that appears in Manhunt 2, as part of the 3D Universe of the Grand Theft Auto series.

The name of the city is never explicitly mentioned in dialogue; however, it is revealed on the city's sewer manhole covers in-game and other unused textures.[1]

Influences

Similarly to Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto III and Carcer City in Manhunt, the city of Cottonmouth is not inspired by one, but multiple cities from a specific region of the United States.

According to Rockstar Games, Cottonmouth is a hybrid of multiple large southern US cities, including New Orleans, Charleston, Atlanta, but not any one in particular. [2]

Etymology

The city is named after the Agkistrodon piscivorus, a species of semiaquatic vipers native to the Southeastern United States, commonly known as cottonmouths.

Geography

Cottonmouth-MH2-Skyline

Skyline of Cottonmouth.

Cottonmouth is much more modern, cleaner, and safer than Carcer City, with skyscrapers in the area of City Center, as well as domiciled houses and blocks.

Being in a humid-subtropical zone in the southeastern region, palm trees are commonly seen throughout the city. Many of the houses in residential districts are surrounded by palm trees and other trees native to the region.

A mountain is also seen from afar as part of the game’s skydome, seemingly inspired by the Driskill Mountain's natual summit in the real-life state of Louisiana.

Districts

There are multiple districts, neighborhoods and landmarks visited during the events of Manhunt 2, some of which are only named in the game's manual.

Weather

Due to its geographical location, Cottonmouth is very often at risk of hurricanes and is commonly affected by tropical or subtropical cyclones. This real-life fact is used as a plot device to explain the derelict-looking residential areas between the flashbacks and present day events in-game.

As it is located close to the Gulf of Mexico, the city experiences thunderstorms very frequently. Ironically, the present day events of Manhunt 2 are only made possible due to an inconvenient thunderstorm.

Television

The only known television station in Cottonmouth is TV-MK. This channel transmits news, weather, talk shows, films, etc.

The name of the station is a play on MK Ultra, a reference to the game's plot.

Crime

During the flashback events set circa 2001, Cottonmouth is a very clean and safe place. However, in the exact same year, a major serial killer hunting would take place after a malfunction in a bioweapon manufacturing-related research experiment conducted by The Project.

The test subject, former San Fierro-based doctor Daniel Lamb[3] , a volunteer for the experiment, was implanted with a "personality sample" of deceased high-skilled government agent and hired assassin Leo Kasper, resulting in a major personality clash inside his mind with the late assassin trying to overtake his mind.

After the assassination of The Project's main financial contributor Stanley Grex in the middle of the Maibatsu Corporation plaza by doctor Lamb (under control of Kasper), a wide-spread manhunt occurred in the residential areas of Cottonmouth, resulting in the imprisonment of Lamb/Kasper.

Six years later, in the year 2007, the city is depicted as a very dark, miserable, dirty, and unsettling place, devastated by recent severe weather conditions. This gave the opportunity for the rapid rise in crime in the city, including the emerging street gang “Red Kings” trying to take control of the city's Red Light District.

A local strip club named Le Papillon Rouge is also used as a front for recruitment by The Project, as well as being a major S&M dungeon and torture chamber run by The Pervs gang.

Transport

While there are no known subway lines in the city, the Watkins Trainyard is located in the industrial zone, near the Ten Four Trucking company warehouse, implying the city has a functional railway system. The trainyard is located under an unnamed elevated expressway.

A Daschund Buses company was originally planned to appear in Manhunt 2, but was cut during development. According to a logo seen on Steven Walsh's portfolio, the motto of the company was "Cottonmouth's Premiere Public Transport". It was the third concept iteration of the Greyhound-inspired company, after Whippet Express Coach in GTA III and the cut Dash-hound in GTA San Andreas.

Police Department

Unlike the CCPD in the previous title, the Cottonmouth Police Department don't play a major role in the storyline, making minor appearances in the present day events and being dispatched to capture and kill the Maibatsu Plaza serial killer (a.k.a. Lamb/Kasper) in Wooddale.

They appear to be inspired by the New Orleans Police Department, as evidenced by the similar patches, uniforms and rankings.

— Joseph Daniel O'Toole to Toni Cipriani about S&M.

As part of the same shared universe, in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Joseph Daniel O'Toole is a supporter for the Rubber Fist S&M products. Some of the Cottonmouth-made products he advertises on Paulie's Revue Bar's website include The Ticklin' Table and Heidi Hole sex dolls.

JD may also make subtle references to Manhunt 2 and the duology as a whole, by filming Toni Cipriani murdering Sindacco Crime Family gangsters for “personal use” and allowing some “specialists” to film “internet gold dust” content inside the club, implied to be BDSM porn.

These are one of few direct references to Cottonmouth's setting in the 3D Universe.

HD Universe

ThePeepHole-Interior-GTAIV

Many of the rebooted Manhunt 2 brands are seen at The Peep Hole in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Cottonmouth is no longer mentioned by name since the release of Grand Theft Auto IV.

Many of the brands and products that originated from Cottonmouth and manufactured in the city in Manhunt 2 are rebranded in a different form in the HD Universe, no longer related to Cottonmouth or the Manhunt series and adapted to the new continuity started in Grand Theft Auto IV.

As usual in Rockstar North's reboots, some of the important story-related brands are either renamed or simply deleted from existence. The HD Universe counterparts of H4PP1 and Hingmyralgan drugs are no longer advertised as "made in Cottonmouth Asylum" on yourmexicandoctor.com.

Rubber Fist appears to have been wiped from existence for this separate canon, as all of the reused posters and products have the Rubber Fist logo edited out.

The 3D Universe's Velvet Glove sex shop chain has been adapted as an adult DVD publisher/distributor of the same name and logo.

Unrelated to adult entertainment brands, the 3D Universe's TV-MK is now referred to by its early concept name “MKTV” on Pirate Music posters in Grand Theft Auto IV.

The aforementioned Cottonmouth-based Daschund Buses company was eventually added to the HD Universe as the (seemingly intercity) Dashound company in Grand Theft Auto V, using a similar logo.
