If you complete an Arcade Contract, you can replay it immediately again if you want. However you cannot simply just replay the last level - you must reset it and start from the first level again.

Am I blind or there are no video briefings for the targets?
I thought we would get the targets as they were, you know - with their story.
Now it´s just: “Kill target #1, move on to the next.”
What is the point?

I’m 100% not surprised by this utter nonsense. Yet again IO you make stupid decisions by limiting creativity, forced/pointless restrictions in modes which puts limitations on stealth gamers who play Hitman way different to speed runners or any other “PLAYSTYLES”.
It’s not fun, its not a cool idea 
I personally like many others who play stealth games want unlimited freedom or choices to how I want to play Hitman. But the way you design Hitman, makes this very limited & forces gamers to play a specific way that they “DON’T WANT TO PLAY”
My question to everyone who works/plays Hitman @ IO. Do you all play Hitman the exact same way? Because the choices you make clearly indicate it in the limited decisions you make in game design
Same old same old utter nonsense with forced Restrictions/Challenges/Limitations which nobody wants 
Just L@@K @ the negative replies/response in this thread. That tells you everything you need to know!!! I could go full kamikaze on IO regarding this move they made

No briefings by Diana either when the mission starts.

I totally see your point.
As I said, I love to do SO runs with no Ko for my own satisfaction, but I absolutely don’t want to limit my playstyle only with that, and neither force other players to do the same. I guess any contract without restrictions gives definetly more freedom to the player, differently from the last bunch of escalations.
Also, I’m personally tired of the escalation format applied to any fucking game mode of this game. I didn’t tried the ET arcade yet, but honestly, why the fuck they put all these dams Insta-fail restriction, and if you fail, you’re locked for 12 fucking hours before retrying it? Did IOI really believed players would had fun with this formula?!?
The 7ds dlc already was a totally weird way to change the pace of the game IMO, I almost felt alienated from it.
Collecting coins?!? WOW!
Choose your weapon and still have easy targets to kill? Cool!
Collecting clues and give flowers to a random NPC? Very innovative…
Get assaulted by hordes of enemies, and you can relieve on random meele weapons and almost useless traps? Badass…
And now they found another way to recycle ETs, but it did in the worse way possible.
Sorry for complaining there, but this game is almost trying to be something different but it fails pretty hard.
Hope you guys have still fun with it though: personally, I don’t care too much about it, and I don’t even have any hype for the next contents.
The fact is: it’s getting worse every time.

So I played the Prince which was really fun to play again. The one pacification didn’t really make it that much harder although I kinda stumbled onto a good strategy all those years ago and I remembered how I did it.
Anyway no briefing video which is lame. Then I pass it and the game shows that I failed the Deceits. I know it’s a known issue so I’ll just go away until it is fixed but that was a bummer. Wanted to play the next target.

I don´t like this mode.
They should have released Elusive Targets as “Exclusive Targets” - a collection of side missions that can be play with no restrictions. Let us, the players, have some fun!
I want to be able to try different kill methods, suits, play with Hitman Roulette etc. But this Arcade mode kills all of my creativity.
And I can´t see any replayability in this. I´ll play this once, unlock everything and that´s it. There is no reason for me to play this mode again.

I played The Deciets and finished it, and I unlocked Krugermeier Dark, despite the fact you’re meant to unlock it for completing all Arcade’s escalations. Then I tried to play Codices, but it displayed that I have failed it, and when playing Ellipses, it threw me back to menu, showing I’ve failed. But it somehow re-enabled Codices. What a mess of an update, IO really needs to do better.

All we can do now is see a post from IO saying “We hear you loud and clear…” and make some drastic changes to this mode. Now I’m really worried about Freelancer
