It's much faster, more quiet, and you'll be automatically "dragging" the body after the kill for quicker disposal.
It kills and you go straight into a drag, it's a little pointless , but it's a retro throwback to the original game
So previously you had to have all H1 Content installed and downloaded to qualify for that H2 pack to show up to download- you access this by booting H1 and choosing the option to download the legacy pack.
This then gives you access to the H1 levels in H2
I might expect a Similar setup for H3, so you may need to boot H2 in order to access those maps on H3.

It's out on the 20th which isn't tommorrow in New Zealand is it?
OOF. Thought today was the 18th and the 20th was Tuesday. Noooo, my holiday plans 😭
There are other projects unannounced also, there are various teams and projects at IO, I imagine that a single mission doesn't require the full force of a Dev team for what I assume will be a fairly mature development process
Oh thats a point. Hmmm, I dont actually have the ps4 version of 3 so that could be an issue. But yeah I had wondered if the dlc will need to be installed at the time as it seemed to be the case with H1 to H2 from what I'd remembered.
Hopefully IO will clarify soon. Their page from the other day covered most thing like progression and all that but that also mentioned they will go into detail on the porting of levels soon and its only a few days to go now. It wouldn't be as much of an issue but thats near 100gb I may need to download on top of the 70gb for the new game so you'd think they'd have wanted the answers to that out well in advance.
I think for Hitman 2 they announced up front that there would be DLC missions (was basically part of the deluxe edition), so I thought it was telling that they didnt do the same here. Bummer
ah, well if they have made the product available like that, that seems unlikely to be the case. But certainly I'd get the 1st 2 installed so you can access those store pages for the unlocks
Yeah I think I'll put them on download tonight just to be safe. Hopefully I'll get the downloads done in time
once nice thing is that you can drag them immediately, so it's faster when trying to hide a body.
They're totally releasing it on inauguration day on purpose, aren't they? Good send-off for the "end" of a shitty time.
To anyone replaying the missions these days or planning to do so before H3, don't forget to watch these videos!
people are gonna wake up on the 20th to see "Hitman" trending and get really freaked out.
They're from Copenhagen. I doubt they care about another countries politics.
definitely seems to be the most overused when it comes to contracts. It's a fun map but c'mon.
Lockpick or keycard hacker and emetic pills. On-site procurement for anything else.
Wrench, crowbar and screwdriver are my favorite non-lethal/lethal weapons, also because these are useful to provoke accident and never seen as suspicious. The screwdriver can be thrown for an instant and silent death.
It seems that the Hitman 3 download will include the previous two games levels and the Access Passes you can buy (or are given free if you meet the conditions) will unlock them.
"Game Size
HITMAN 3 will take up approximately 60-70 GB of storage space on all platforms, with the obvious exceptions of Stadia and Switch. The data that you download will also include all the content required to access HITMAN 1 and HITMAN 2 – but you are still required to own/purchase access to those games."
Absolutely, i switch it for the fibre wire actually. I never seem to find a use for the wire anymore lol
Also, whats the point of the briefcase now, aside from hilarious kills? I feel like i used it a lot more in the past.
Lockpick, coin, stashed briefcase with break apart sniper.
I use as my drop point pickup for snipers, explosives etc.
It's amazing how real and and alive that place is, that's what I love about it the most. I don't care so much for the underground lab, but the actual town itself ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Gelato store, the ottica , the little delis and restaurants are all just so well observed and true to life - it's just like being in place (and places it's based upon)
Landslide variant of it too is also just so amazingly atmospheric, you can almost feel the warmth of the sunset and the smell of fried calamari.
This is an excellent first post and question. I started playing Hitman 2 the other day, got to the Miami stage, which is the first proper stage in the game, and was thoroughly overwhelmed with how to tackle the assassinations lol.
Pretty much just the lock pick, or the suitcase with a sniper in it if you feel like going for that kind of kill.
I think every map in Hitman 2 (except the first one) is at or above the quality of Sapienza. Keeping both targets in the mansion and the biolab at the bottom was always underwhelming to me. Still love the map tho
I saved that mission for last (couldn't access it earlier as I had bought the game episodically) and wound up shoving the target off the church tower and impaling him on a spire. My jaw dropped.
I think they said a while back that there wont be any DLC locations this time. But who knows, wouldnt be the first thing that changed between the time they said that and the release of the game :D.
My small ranking from best to worst:
H1:
1. Hokkaido
2. Sapienza
3. Paris
4. Marrakesh
5. Colorado
6. Bangkok
H2:
1. New York
2. Colombia
3. Miami
4. Sgail
5. Maldives
6. Mumbai
7. Whittleton Creek
8. Hawke's Bay

I find that a good place to start is to just sort of explore where you can and can't go with your default outfit, and also notice who can get into places you can't. Once you get a handle on being able to get into places without arousing suspicion, it's a lot easier to track your targets and figure out a good place to try to isolate them.
Also doing the mission stories is great if it feels overwhelming at the start. You get a specific end goal with steps to complete, so all you have to focus on is completing the step you're on . Doing all those will give you a fair bit of familiarity with the map and also some location experience, which might unlock new equipment or starting locations which are helpful.
Yes, I have it as well, and it's making me crazy. It makes me think there's a staff post or something.Btw. slightly Offtopic, but am i the only one that sees this thing in this thread? Only see it in this, and no matter which browser and log in status its there:
Never seen that in any other thread or anything before.
[x] "testing that vote thingy"
my best unsolicited hitman 2 tip: always play with the hint system turned on with waypoints.
Playing through maps several times with the hint system that helped me get my bearings with new locations.
Always do the story missions. They'll guide you to some of the main areas of the map and help give you some ideas about what to do.
Yeah so good :D
This is a photo I made of the the place I think it's based on
Trying to clean up all of achievements in Hitman 2 before 3 launches. The only ones I have left to do are for the Siberia Sniper Assassin map and it's just so tedious, especially because you can't save scum it.
Very excited to jump into 3 though. Of the levels shown in depth so far I'm probably most excited for England and China. Dubai doesn't really seem all that remarkable apart from being more of a next gen showcase kind of thing.

Always turn off the option to see people through walls, its basically cheating anyway lol
