Hitman Mission Championship - Quarter-Final Pink

Exactly. Its by far the best Mission of Absolution, just because it conveys its overall theme, being Hunted, so well.

I actually quite like Berlin so I’ll leave it alone. I can’t stay angry about Chongqing when remembering that eerie beginning at the gas station, soaked in atmosphere.

Would have tried to save Nightcall because it’s got a great and intimate vibe going on that makes it stand out, but that Zodiac is just parked too far away.

Following MrOchoa to get rid of an overrated mission. I like the drunk lady but everything else feels wooden and tedious.

Tbh i dont care what mission wins the Final, as long as it is one from the original Trilogy.

:joy: precisely!

to be fair, i reckon the majority of the appeal for a new life and another life is the incongruity of having a bald, genetically engineered, super assassin stalking around a 50’s esque american (wet) dream suburb.

for me, i like how what they present on the surface gets continually undermined the deeper you go. then there’s the way it makes certain banal elements horrific (kid’s entertainer, garbage trucks, hedge trimmers, etc.).

i can certainly understand finding the missions themselves fairly mediocre though.

To me, ANL’s brilliance lies in the amount of different approaches it offers. The necklace objective forces you to take out the wife non-lethally (or accidentally) for SA making it a fresh and unique challenge every time.

I don’t much care for the suburb element. In fact I’d prefer if it wasn’t like that.

fair enough, though i don’t think it would be the same if it wasn’t in that setting. complete supposition on my part, but i suspect they come up with the setting first when designing levels. could be way off though. where would you set it?

i think it’s a very potent level, aesthetically. it has a lynch/blue velvet quality to it, plus it fits snugly into bm’s through theme of sticking it to the american dream.

Pretty much wherever. Not saying the suburb is bad by any means, just that it’s not the reason I like the level.

I would have liked to see A new life advance,but I don’t have enough energy for this,there are other missions I would rather protect and it is not a mission I am really fond of anyways.
So,it looks like we’re on the same side again @MrOchoa …for now and I hope I can count on you to help me with Temple City Ambush.:wink:

We want revenge for Himmelstein!!! Get outta here Nightcall!!!

I can’t count, anyone who has tried to teach me any form of maths over the years has finished a sadder person

Also, to those who have any opinion on ANL, I can’t beat Curtains Down because I have no skill, so I’ll probably not touch it

If you want it out so badly, you might want to actually subtract the point. :grin:
