CARPATHIAN MOUNTAINS, Romania (Mission #6) - Location Discussion

It will still be a map of sorts apart from the train, i do not to expect a huge map of sorts. We will get that with other maps .
The final missions of Hitman 1 and 2 were not very climatic, whereas this one will be more story driven to get 47 to “disappear”.

Since IO hasn’t given Contracts Mode to many Maps that could really use it, like 2/3 of Patient Zero or any of the Special Assigments, I’m pretty certain it won’t have Contracts Mode.

General reminder that if you have spoilers, use the spoiler function and ideally state what they’re spoilers for above it rather that just make some off comment about them.

Seeing a shirtless 47 makes me think this is going to be a shoot-out level. :thinking: If that’s the case it would be a nod to the classics. :hugs:

Many are unhappy with the train. But. Your theses about the fact that this does not fit the hitman format and so on, do you understand what the developers are aware of?

And why did they ALL, knowing about ALL the shortcomings, went for it?

Audience reactions are predictable. They want good reviews, not constant complaints. The fact that they went so against the format of all 3 games in the last mission means only one thing - they have a damn good reason and they think that the originality of the idea / execution will outweigh the classic sandbox formula.

They have 2 previous games, on the whole - almost perfect. I think they deserve a credit of trust.

They probably had a meeting with 2 options:

  1. “to make a cool dynamic mission that brings the plot component to a qualitatively new level, but with the departure from the sandbox, many players will be unhappy, because expectations are disappointed”
  2. adapt to the sandbox, but it will be ordinary and not so epic.

Main mission idea, i think, was “to make the most dynamic / driving level in the history”. Sounds and looking like it. Moving train is like, the best variant. What else could be most dynamic? Hitman car chase? Hitman space battle? Forest chase? Haha. forest was in trailer (maybe just for cutscene)

Personally, I appreciate such a bold decision, and choose originality, a variety of edges will refresh the game. I am sure this will be a great mission.

how many exits can a train have? how many starting points if you’re apparently captured?

I do think there’ll be a second entrance, they need to have one that lets you pick a suit!

But yeah, sounds like a weird level

everyone worried about the 5 mastery level cap for the last level and here I am laughing. why? Because I have faith in IO that the level will be great.

Honestly I am inclined to believe it’s about avoiding hiding stuff away until you’ve finished the game.

Usually there is way more to do in any given level than you need to reach max mastery - so it’s really about pacing unlocks.

I was thinking about Berlin in the VR trailer and how above the DJ booth is a giant floor to ceiling wall of screens. Maybe 47 has to go all the way up there to drop them?

Still waiting to play Patient Zero in something other than the cool sweater.

It wouldn’t be the first time we get a forced suit.

Back to the main discussion because I don’t want to go Insane. What’s your opinion about 47 possibly getting a conductor disguise on this level?

That is NOT an achievement icon…that is a screenshot generated when the achievement was earned. If you want to see all the achievement icons look here: HITMAN 3 Trophies | TrueTrophies

I doubt there would be any disguises beyond guard and staff on the train. Conductor would be useless since 47 probably isn’t going to the front of the train anyway.

But think about it a joke level exit where 47 gets to fulfill is dream of using a choo choo train

no, see any of those https://www.xboxachievements.com/game/hitman-3/achievements/

That’s PS5, my dude. I think you’re confused.

Why does he need to dress like the conductor to do that? Surely he knows how to drive a train if he can pilot a chopper. It is a car with handrails for crying out loud.

Achievement/trophy icons are the same for all platforms that have/use them and those that don’t use them use screenshots taken at the moment the achievement was earned.
