Check the icon on the top left. That's the W2000, no?

It is, though that's just the graphic used in the sniper challenge to correspond with 'professional' ranking... if you get, say, 'agent' ranking, it shows 47 in a crossed guns pose or something like that. Not screenshots, is what I'm saying, but rather concept-art style graphics.

At the same time, I've never doubted that the W2000 will be in the game. I don't think the Kazo TRG replaces the W2000, it's just another option. In fact, you may only get the Kazo TRG if you pre-ordered with Gamestop... the bonus you get (besides sniper challenge) is the "Agency Kazo TRG" ... not clear to me if that means that model of sniper rifle as a whole, or just a version of the rifle with an Agency finish/skin.

A hint? Haha, you already know!

[frynse]

It better be in the game.
More importantly, will we still have the good ol' rifle case? Cause I sure as fuck hope we won't just be able to holster the goddamn thing like we saw in the King of Chinatown video.

Am I the only one that all most hates the new sniper 47 uses? WA2000 fits much more better 47 and looks more manly

here is what Nick@io said about the case.

This is an important one will the sniper rifle suitcase return? and will we be able to use a sniper method on any mission like in blood money for example or will it be restricted to certain sniper foucsed assassinations?.
Yes, the sniper rifle is in the game. The suitcase is also there but it plays a slightly different role this time around. And while you could potentially use the sniper rifle on a lot of levels, some are more suited than others.

I still can't tell if this means that it is in the game as normal and will also serve another roll, or whether it means it is in the game but plays an entirely different role and won't be used for the rifle.

I don't like the sound of that.

Maybe, cuz personally i freakin like the look of Kazo tgr from sniper challenge and the way he holds it('SIN' wallpaper pose). Tho it would be sad if there will be no W2000 - it's a signature weapon of 47 just like fiberwire and silverballers.

I do and I don’t...

I mean I like the idea of the suitcase holding more responsibility than just a rifle case. the ability to conceal any weapon or even a disguise in the suitcase would be really cool. But I don't like the idea of the suitcase not holding a rifle if indeed that's what Nick is referring too. I will say however that the sniper challenge shows 47 walking to the roof with it so animation of him with the case already exists. so I don't see why it couldn't carry over to the game.

why would you think that?

It is not a new Sniper, it was 47 main sniper in the first game. You are able to find the WA2000 later in the game aswell.

please god say it so

[Friedmann Kaiser]

Honestly i don't think the W2000 fits the theme of this game he is on the run and the ICA isnt helping him anymore. Why would he have a rifle that is super rare and expensive? Of course he had it in the other games. But i don't think he should have it unless he picks it off another assassin. (Saints anybody?)

yeah I know that. But on the main menu of HC47 there was also the WA2000. For me the WA2000 fits better 47, oh... and how many notice this? I notice it the first time I saw it, but I didn't want to publish cause it didn't seem important at the moment

I hope this hints to another sniper challenge level. sorta like the arcade mode in Max Payne 3

Who said the WA2000 wasn't gonna be in the game anyway? You're all being paranoid. The way I see it is the WA2000 is exclusive to 47, and the Kazo TRG is the offical Agency sniper rifle, used by other agents as well. Due to the rarity of the WA2000, it makes sense that only 47 would have it, and he chooses to use it. As to why he isn't using it in Sniper Challenge, who knows.

I would like to remember you in Hitman 2 Silent Assassin, agent 17 had the WA2000 and the only way to have that gun was to kill him for after using it in the game
