They could’ve also been made aware of it by feedback from the CTT. Which is also perfectly fine and was what I was getting at.
The blog post detailed the main changes to the mode from feedback, not bugs fixed from feedback. There’s countless things I reported that were definitely not intended.
I agree with you. Fortunately, a break can be made between missions. But from what I recall from gameplay videos, it sounds like when we’ve started a mission, we can’t go back to the menu without side effects (alerted territories or even failed campaign).
But maybe I’m wrong… and I’m victim of a false memory . I would appreciate if CTT players can confirm or infirm this affirmation.
On the other side, I appreciate that each level of Freelancer mastery seems to require the same amount of XP. Going up in mastery wouldn’t be as harsh as current multiplayer games propose (where last levels require insane amount of XP).
I think they probably will change the title screen to reflect the WoA rebrand. I wonder if they’ll go a bit further with the rebrand and do things like remove the red lines in Destinations separating the three games’ locations, move Ambrose Island to between Whittleton Creek and Isle of Sgail, change the ICA Facility back to going into The Showstopper for the “next mission” tile, redesign the campaign, mastery and challenges tab to just be one big thing including all the locations instead of separating 2016, 2, and 3. I also wonder if they’ll still even bother advertising the carryover from Hitman 2 on the title screen.
It seems to be leaning that way as all 3 games are merging as part of the update. I will really miss the Hitman 3 main title picture though I must admit.
I just hope we can alternate the main menu theme between all 3 games. Personally, the Hitman 3 main menu theme is my favourite as it has the darker feel to it. It could be that IOI have a new theme as part of the update that replaces all 3 themes I don’t know?
I’ve heard people suggest “Theme Select” features and yeah, if IOI are planning post-Freelancer Updates I would really like theme selection options for your menus as part of them. The dark, foreboding menu of Hitman 3 doesn’t necessarily suit the entire World of Assassination.
I get everyone has their own preferences in terms of the main menu theme, that’s why I think it could be cool to have an option to choose between the 3 themes in my opinion
It might be IOI have a new theme built in as part of the new update?
Speaking of music and on an unrelated note to freelancer: is it just me or does the trilogy desperately need new objectives completed music (when all objectives are done and all that’s needed is to head towards an exit). IDK maybe I’ve just spent too much time messing around in levels after I’ve killed my target or if I’ve just played the series too much at this point but its just something that’s bothered me as this musical cue is the EXACT SAME for every level in the game and doesn’t match the tone of individual levels and loops constantly.
I hope that freelancer at least will have different music for when you have completed objectives, otherwise I’ll likely have to turn music off and miss listening to all the new pieces that will get released with the mode.
