I finished the game and last night and loved this mission. The surprise when opening the first door and seeing a moving train was a real shock moment.

Immediately remembered all the discussions we’d had over the years about wether a moving train mission would’ve worked in Hitman. Shows the developers somewhere are listening to our theories and I think they did the best with it that they could.

Loved the fact that IO were like you can also go gun crazy if you want. Flashbacks to the Redemption at Gontranno mission from Silent Assassin.

Great work IO :v:

One question: How?

Just send me a PM.

Don’t know if anyone’s found this yet, but it’s very easy to go out of bounds on this mission -just spam the jump down button at a certain angle whilst on the roof.

Although to be fair, it’s pretty boring. You can’t exploit it for any cool sniping points like Bangkok or Hokkaido.

A question: when you’re approaching the Constant, can you just shoot him through the glass before the cutscene plays?

Nope, Bulletproof

I had found this a few days ago but wasn’t able to post it, not sure if it has been found yet.

You can find a picture of the asylum right above a picture of that scientist in the document on Arthur Edward’s desk. That scientist gives me Dr. Kovacs vibes, despite having not reached the level with him as a target in C47 yet. You have to wait for the cutscene to fully play out (or maybe for Edwards to just sit the document down, haven’t tested) for it to be on his desk, or it will disappear.

I was actually meaning to ask you about that when I noticed it in game, but it completely slipped my mind :sweat_smile:

If I’m not mistaken, the rest of the text is in French with the exception of PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL and RESULTS.

Hot damn! While it is a bit dissapointing that the last bit of content to wrap up the World of Assassination is a linear-type level, it does make me realize that IOI is capable of making some cool scripted narrative content! (which I assume Bond might have more of than in HM)

First off, the level opening with an “introspection mind-palace” sequence was really nice. I love that trope when it’s used as a big cinematic moment for a character.

Unfortunately I was spoiled on the fact that the last level took place on a train, but that didn’t stop me from being super amazed when that train reveal happened. ‘Ah yeah, I’ll just open this large door here’ [boom] the camera gets tugged away from you, the music swells and you find out you’re on a train in the alps of Romania speeding down the tracks! Freaking awesome!

The level itself being an (optional) kill-fest is nice. Too bad you can’t complete the Level in SA without avoiding all those kills, but I guess the challenge involves avoiding them all. (Especially in your sexy no-suit).

Nice ending, turns out Diana and 47 have made up, and obviously poisoning 47 was mostly a ploy to get close to the Constant. I really like how they tied in the 2016 reveal trailer! I did not expect this trilogy to end where it (marketing-wise) first began. I like that.
(47 did say how that’s not his name anymore, but what is it? – did I just miss it? – is it being kept secret?)
I wish drugging the Constant was a bit more of an impactful moment. He seemed pretty chill about not remembering anything. I’d be fucking terrified if that was me, it was kinda anticlimactic. (being able to kill him after would have given me satisfaction, IMO).

All in all, I’m fine with this being the final level since Mendoza more than makes up for it. Very cool locale, can’t wait to try and do this all suit-only.
(And uh… I don’t know too much Hitman lore apart from the big moments, but isn’t a lot of this wrap-up rereading old ground? 47 being hunted by and going after the ICA? Diana knocking out 47?)

I think we’re meant to believe he’s no longer “Agent” 47. He should just be 47 now. Hope they don’t give him a new name, like Paul Grey or some bull.

Yeah, probably just 47.

Oof, totally forgot about his Tobias Rieper alias.
(Tbh, I’d be fine if that’s what his real “name” is now, though of course I’d prefer 47 instead. It might not be a name, but they sure made it one.)

Yeah both would work, but I prefer 47 too.

After finishing the game as well as this thread, my thoughts in random order.

(1) I liked this map. Of course it was the “worst” of the six, but only in comparison. After the first few minutes I realized this map would be an easier SA than the others, so while I usually don’t care about SA on first run I did this time and it was a great, easy but fun, way to play and I liked it. Great moment when the super guards saluted me and I could pass while before almost everyone was an enforcer! Then the climax, only us two. And the perfect, non-lethal ending. Wow. Loved it. Also the dream-like beginning. No, not a “real map”, but a great epilogue. And only 5 Mastery levels told me before not to expect a full map.

(2) The story was great overall. Not because it was great, but because how it was told. The beginning in Berlin. The in-mission-briefing in Mendoza, with the short subtle damage-flash after the cutscene. The hallucination after the betrayal. Also, you don’t have to replay the story stuff after your first run, so a great way to tll it.

(3) The ending was perfectly fitting. Many people asked how the big plot will continue, but hear me out: Now that you’ve finished the main campaign, it’s time for all the contracts and bonus missions. You know why? because now with 47 and Diana on their own, there is no more “big conspiracy” but just small, well, contracts, random all over the world. It fits!

all in all: 47/10. What a great conclusion, not the last map but the third game.

I think I missed this. Was this foreshadowing the poison Diana placed on him?
