Yeah I'm currently 4th in Great Britain for XBOX 360. The best bet is to try Youtube for tips and guides.

It does get boring quickly. Hopefully IOI sees our boredom and gives us a demo of the king of chinatown level?

hahaha that a dream, but I wont have words to describe my happiness if that will ever happen

But then it makes me think. The first video demo of Absolution was only in close doors, after 3 month we could finally watch it from home. Why not the same with a playable demo???

You might be onto something.... It could be strictly for us to beta test it.

I kinda agree, first I couldn't stop playing it on August 1st when it came out on steam but after 25hrs non-stop playing and reaching 5,300,000pts in 1:35 min, I stopped. It's just became boring fast. If they will release a KoCT Demo - that would be a blast.

has anyone got any tips or tricks to help out?

Hi, and welcome

Tips or Tricks?

What helped me was to draw up a map, of your current run through and note how many bullets used, reloading
Etc. this helped me work out better run throughs, that gave me a higher score.
Also watch as many video run throughs as you can, and use these as a guide to create/improve your run

(most of my score theory was done on a drawn map, It was putting it into practice in game that was the fun part)

I would say try and make the game work for you how you want it to,
I read an article a while back that Said to achieve high scores the first nine shots
Are not aimed at anyone, so basically set up the playing field to your liking.

You will need a 15 headshot streak, and you have to be quick, as you only have about 8 seconds or less,
between each headshot to get high points from the headshot streak multiplyer

speed is of great importance !!
(try working on a speed run, dont worry about moving head shots,
or hidden bodies for now if you can get them though all the better!)

Hope this helps to increase your score, On the uk leaderboards

Good luck

Yeah, that's probably not going to happen. They were nice enough to give us this free sniper arcade mission (which unlocks stuff in the full version). We have become spoiled when it comes to gaming. I remember when there were no demos. You bought a game and you were stuck with it after that. At least we are getting stuff like this mission and some preorder bonuses. Cream of the crop if you ask me.

They need to change the Hair Trigger in my opinion I tried playing it on the consoles (yes both X360 and PS3) and the fact they make you squeeze the trigger for Hair Trigger completely ruins it for me.
I will always mess up a run by accidentily firing shots when I try to use the breathing technique.
And you're not even able to change the layout of the on the buttons, it would have been much better to be able to put the HT action on the remaining left button or even the facebuttons for that matter, might be a problem with the final game though when sniping is supposed to be integrated in the game.
To me it's the same stupid design choise they made with Blood Money, it was so cool to be able to throw a knife accept for the matter that when you pressed the (I think) Right analogstick you had to hold it until you wanted to throw the knife making aiming harder then it needed to be, while on the pc you could just do it by pressing a button.

Ah well that was just my little rant...

Does anybody know how to hide the body of the guard who is on the left hand side upper level? The one to the left of the banner.
I've tried so many times and can't figure out how it's done. Even if I knock him over the edge I don't get the hidden body bonus for some reason.

His body is often hidden from view in the bushes, I shoot into the bushes where I think he would be and he falls off the edge. Once I shot him in the head as he was walking towards that ledge and the did a forward flip right over the edge, that was easy.

I've tried that a heaps and sometimes I can see the body moving and falling, but still no bonus. =(
Whereabouts was he when you shot him and flipped him over the edge? There must be a sweet spot somewhere. =)

As he is walking just before he stops, got him in the head and he went right over but I haven't been able to do it since but I haven't had much of a problem pushing him over the edge by shooting his body in the bushes and I get the bonus.

I'll have to keep trying I suppose. I hope I'm not getting it because of a glitch or something. I thought it was because the body was falling on the level below and not on the street.

What platform are you playing on? Same Question too Dorian void?

There are videos on you tube for the Pc version, which show how to hide all 15 bodies

I have never seen a video on the Xbox, ps3 that claims to have hidden the top left guard
I reckon it's either a bug on the console version or you just have to hit him at the right time.
And the % of earning the bonus is very low.

Anyone willing to do a video of how to get the bonus on Xbox, and PS3?
