THAT… did cross my mind and is really the only “sensible” explanation I can think of

Good point about “leading up to discovering how the gang discovers we have intel on Carlisle’s intel”…there’s a lot of that needed in these games, or, it could just be fun to think about. Would probably have to be an incidental finding.
I think that these discussions in general prove that a narrative or overarching story isn’t that conducive to a game about assassination. It forces a lot of things, such as collateral targets, instead of pure targets. I actually appreciate how well IOI managed to pull it off across the WoA trilogy, but I also understand a lot of fans’ claims to go back to Contracts-style, unrelated missions.

Since we now know more maps are being made for the year 2 content cycle, I want to share a few ideas of mine from a while ago.
Swiss Ski Resort
As many have said, a ski resort would be a fantastic setting for a Hitman mission. Not only for all the winter themed unlocks to be utilized, but also for the variation and the amount of possibilities it could bring. Impaling someone with a skiing stick, drowing someone in a huge barrel of beer, cause a skiing lift accident, or maybe even trigger an avalanche? It would raise the question if IOI is able to create appropiate animations for only one level, so in this cause I think it’s best if the level took place during the evening (apres ski).
Carribean Cruiseliner
I love the idea of a floating holiday resort. It’s basically like a hotel but different. Imagine how big this could be. You’d have all the rooms, a big lounge, a restaurant + kitchen, machinery rooms, topdeck with a pool of some sorts, maybe even a cinema or bowling alley, captain’s grounds, etc. Not only do I think this could be a better version of Death on the Mississipi, I also think it could be what Bangkok failed to be. Besides, it kinda like the idea of dumping bodies in the ocean and immediatly erasing evidence by the sharks eating corpses.
African Nature Reserve
First of all, the lack of African levels is criminally low. There is a lot to see and explore in Africa, yet we only have Marrakesh. I would love a more nature based level where we hunt down a treathing target. Poachers, human traffickers, terrorists. Something that will most people feel on edge about. The catch of it being in an African Nature Reserve is how we could use wild animals and the dangers of nature to kill targets. Elephants, lions, dead trees, huge boulders, deep pits. You name it. I’m sure IOI could do something with that.

Tried to find an appropriate thread to put this in, and this seems good enough.
The top of my list continues to be a luxury ski resort, preferably inspired by Chamonix, but that’s not what this post is about.
After seeing images from the Greek island of Santorini, I really want a future level there or on a fictional Greek island inspired by it.
Just looks stunning, and like great place to commit murder. 
Plus, I’m fairly certain 47 hasn’t been to Greece yet.

Santorini would be great! We initially had this as one of our campaign mock-up missions until we changed the setting because we felt Sapienza sort of held domain over “seaside mediterranean” venue:

That is a very yellow shirt. It makes 47 look like a killer lemon sherbet.

Nice.
I honestly think that a location like Santorini would/could have a different enough vibe from Sapienza to be worth doing. I definitely get a different feel when I look at images there.
In general I feel like every game could stand to have one “Sapienza” in the sense of being a nice, old, touristy town in a warm/sunny area.

Found an article on an architectural project in Qatar that is going to attempt synthesis of urban design, Islamic architectural principles and medical research.

I like this because it has the added bonus of being close to The Blue House, where the president lives. Sticking with Korea, I’ve always said that Incheon International Airport would be a great map as it is across the street, so to speak, from the Hyatt Hotel giving you an airport and hotel map. Hell, you could have a couple of targets at Bukchon Hanok Village, and The Blue House, but before leaving you will need to take care of a couple more targets at the airport and the hotel. Also, the writers could have so much fun with the fact that the airport code for Incheon International Airport is ICA.

THE LADY OF THE LAKE
The map would be set in Russia before the events of Hitman 2. The play will be set in the Romantic era 1886-1890 and maybe the maps music could be Ave Maria as it was first composed in 1887 (the more you know).
TARGET INTRODUCTION:
Good evening 47, your destination is the Chyorny Volkov (Black Wolf) opera house in Vladivostok,Russia. Your first target is Natalya Ovechkina, a famous opera actor currently on tour of Northern Asia with your second
target, Ruslan Kuznetsov, a self acclaimed theatrical play write who will stop at nothing to get a perfect play.
According to ICA files, Natalya and Ruslan meet back in the 90’s when they needed each others “special” attributes to get a play from William Heartland, a socialite and renounced play collector. The plays called “TO A RUSSIAN HARE”. That’s fitting, 47.
Just last year they murdered one of our own in cold blood. It was seen as an accident, but we know better.
Our onsite intelligence has spotted Natalya on and around the main stage, every so often performing on stage. Whereas Ruslan is roaming around the Bar area, the interview area, the heaven seats and around the garden and it’s lake.
Good luck, 47. I’m sure this will be no challenge.
POSSIBLE KILLS:
•Prop falling objects (accident)
•Smoking area off stage (accident)
•Stage lights (accident)
•URSA vodka (poison)
•Dubai style art sun (accident)
•Icicle kill (accident)
•Trapdoor (accident)
•Piano falling object (accident)
•Safety rope (accident)
•Quill to the eye (non accident)
•Microphone (accident)
There’s more these are just custom to the map.
MAP LAYOUT:
•Main stage
•Backstage
•Lobby area (47 can get intel)
•Garden/lake
•Bar area
•Bar kitchen
•Light rig floor boards
•Interview area
•Bathroom
•Heaven seats
STUFF LIKE THE SETTINGS:
•Nighttime/late evening
•Set in Russia, which are really big on opera
•Snowing lightly, snow on floor in areas
•Cloudy
•Bright lights indoors to get that warm festive like feeling
•Windy
•Romantic era (play) 1886-1890 and Ave Maria can be playing during the rehearsal and/or the maps music
BUILDING ON THE OUTSIDE:
•Lots of windows by the main parts to get the cold outside warm inside festive like feeling
•Bunting hanging from trees and lamp posts, near entrances
•Garden area with the lake
•Entrance gate
BUILDING ON THE INSIDE:
•Bar area
•Bar kitchen
•Bathroom
•Light rig floor boards
•Main stage
•Backstage
•Interview area/Signing area
•Lobby
•Staff room area
MISSION STORIES/OPPORTUNITIES:
THE ANGEL FROM ABOVE:
•Natalya will be on a safety rope during performance, 47 could loosen the mechanism so when the target does the rehearsal next they fall to their death.
MECHANICAL MISHAPS:
•A stage kill with trapdoor on the floor of stage area. 47 could pull a well timed lever to activate the trapdoor.
A# MINOR ISSUE:
•47 could drag the unused piano in the above stage (in the unused prop room above the main stage) on top of the CLOSED trapdoor and when he pulls a lever backstage it open and the piano crushes Natalya.
WINDY CELEBRATIONS:
•There is Bunting hanging from trees and lamp posts. A opportunity to get inside the building by either getting a crowbar, climbing the bunting and cracking open a loose window OR a gardener is complaining that he was going to put some bunting up and it blew away. It will get stuck somewhere, 47 could shoot it down and give it to the gardener, he will give you a invitation to gain entry.
LOOKING GOOD IN PINK:
•If you are in the Tech crew (pink) disguise you can talk to the Natalya’s head bodyguard to call a meeting to talk about the next play OR you can seclude the head bodyguard and get his disguise.
THE PEN BEATS THE SWORD:
•Ruslan will have an signing session by the interview area, 47 can find a signature ticket and ask for a signature from Ruslan. He notices your facial features and asks you about a private meeting to see if you’d be interested in working for him. This would lead to the quill kill.
IT’S OF THE UPMOST IMPORTANCE:
•47 can talk to James king (the Super fan) and lead him to a secluded area, knock him out OR kill him to get his VIP pass. This would lead to a tour of the backstage area and access to part of it (not the unused prop room) in the disguise.

A DYING LEGACY:
LOCATION:
This would take place in a run down apartment building and bustling market place in Guatemala,Central America.
TARGET INFORMATION:
Good evening, 47.
Your destination is the centre of Guatemala city. At first glance it’s bustling market place full of things to buy and colourful architecture, but deep below the surface you’ll come to realise it’s a city full of corruption, slavery and gangs.
JUAN CARLOS (THE AZUL):
Your target is Juan Carlos, a ruthless tyrant leader for the Azul Quetzal cartel gang native to Guatemala. He was born and raised with the gang ties and was therefore a strong and fit full leader. The Azul Quetzal gang legacy has been passed down from generation in the Carlos family name.
SUPER DRUG/ROCÍO CARLOS (THE QUETZAL):
Last month, Hector Delgado, the head of the Delgado Cartel, decided to join forces with Azul Quetzal to design a new Super cocaine.
The cocaine contains over 86% more Benzoylmethylecgonine than a normal brick.
The Chemical is found in the leaves of the Erythroxylum plant, which grows at high altitudes in Colombia and neighbouring countries. The Super cocaine plan will most likely be on Juan’s brother and head chef, Rocío Carlos.
Rocío Carlos is Juan’s younger brother who was forced to join the gang when he was fired from his job as a bio research scientist for ETHER. He was working on a Anti drug addiction tablet that could stop the drugs from entering your blood stream.
He is extremely paranoid about everything, so he will likely have a escape route to get out of Guatemala city.
CLIENT:
Your client is Verõnica Ruiz, leader of the renounced gang operating in Mexico, Los Sureños. The Super cocaine will end her drug career and the global collapse of hundreds of gangs all over the world.
Verõnica has paid a large sum of US dollars, 47.
Eliminate Juan Carlos and retrieve the Super cocaine plans
This is a contract needed to be done by the best, so failure is not an option, good luck.
TARGET DESIGN:
JUAN CARLOS:
•Light blue tank top
•Black cargo trousers
•Black boots (perfect for crushing his foes skull inwards)
•Light blue bandanna
•Black hair
•Black Goatee

MISSION STORIES:
PEACE AND PURITY:
Juan is set up a protocol that if the Guatemalan flag gets raised it would signal a meeting between Rocío Carlos and Juan himself, on the apartment rooftop. Sounds like away to get a double kill, 47?
(This would lead to a “guards leave” and 47 would snipe both targets.)
DILUTED PARANOIA:
Rocío has got Schizophrenia and is scheduled to have a appointment with Dr. Luke Williams, a doctor in delusional science, with a very forgetting face. That is interesting, 47, maybe you could find this Doctor and disguise as him?
(This would lead to a poison kill if you dose his pills with poison or if you don’t bring the pills Rocío will go into a into a delusional frenzy and end up dying, it would be classed as an accident)
CARSTANT WORRIES:
It seems a certain, Gary Christopher is said to have a mechanics tour to the garage on the lowest floor of the apartment, with Juan Carlos. According to my sources, Gary is a Engineer working for Kronstadt industries. Listening to the way Juan is addressing Gary, it’s like he’s has’t met him before, sounds intriguing,47?
(The garage area would go into a “guards leave” situation.47 could disguise himself as Gary Christopher and go to the meeting with Juan, this would lead to 47 a arrange of accident kills eg a car falling accident)

IN POINT SUR
Location: “Point Sur”, Switzerland
Place: Modern ski resort with a central semi-underground building on top of a snowy mountain
Targets: Laoise Mona, a.k.a The Culprit. She is around 40 years old and is ginger. Her outfit looks similar to this one:
Lohan Kenzo, a.k.a The Entrepeneur. He is around 35 years old and has a goatee. His outfit is a blue and lime green skiing outfit without any headwear. (Reference image for a generic skiing outfit)
TARGET INTRODUCTION:
Good morning, 47. Laoise Mona, your primary target is a prominent political figure in Ireland and the culprit in the assassination of rival tycoon Finn Killian. Authorities are now searching for her and have since put out a warrant for her arrest. After finding out about this, she fled his homeland, never to be seen again.
Fortunately, we have tracked her down in Switzerland, or more specifically, “Saint Palace”, a luxurious ski resort in Point Sur. Intel suggests she was secretly given refuge by Lohan Kenzo, french entrepreneur, professional skier, and the owner of Saint Palace.
You will find Laoise Mona going between the central hub area and her personal suite, while Lohan Kenzo will be arranging business in and around the resort. Security is high around your targets, so be careful. We have also detected some “past acquaintances” of your primary target, so use that to your advantage.
Our client is the daughter of Finn Killian and wants revenge for his father’s passing. Good luck, 47.
MAP LAYOUT
- Cafeteria and Observation deck
- Panorama restaurant
- Ski hill
- “Snowland” (Dubai exhibition-esque area made of ice)
- Regular suites outside (a.k.a typical ski resort houses)
- Staff area
- VIP suite (basically a ski lodge)
- Ski jump
- Dense forest
- Helipad
SETTING:
Late morning time, no precipitation.
MISSION STORIES:
- Unpaid favors: Bruno Wolf. Egregious assassin and the murderer of Finn Killian. It seems as if he hasn’t been paid yet for this job and wants to track down Laoise Mona. Perhaps we could arrange a “meeting” between the two, don’t you think?
- Smile for the camera!: Lohan Kenzo is doing a photo shoot of himself around the property as an advertisement for Saint Palace. His next point of interest is the ski jump. This could end poorly for him, especially with you around.
- Buried deep: The temperature is hotter than usual and Lohan Kenzo wants to go skiing all by himself. These two factors could end up in his demise.
- In The Hall of the Ice King: To pass time, Laoise Mona wants to lock down Snowland for a private tour of the area. Maybe we can use this to our advantage.
-
Point Blanc: In case of an emergency, VIPs are allowed to take an elevator up to the helipad and exfiltrate. The problem is, the control panel can easily be sabotaged. Let’s see where they both end up.
HIDDEN MISSION STORIES: - A Slippery Slope:
- Lohan Kenzo agrees to meet Noemi Delia in the forest
- They look over the edge and talk
- The transaction happens and Noemi Delia walks away
- You can then push off Lohan Kenzo
- The Welcome Treat:
- Dress up as the head chef of the panorama restaurant
- Invite Laoise Mona to taste your food
- Poison it
- She arrives, eats the food, and gets eliminated
- The Extension:
- Give Laoise Mona a fabricated headline of the manhunt
- She wants to extend her stay at Saint Palace
- Laoise Mona arranges a meeting between her and Lohan Kenzo in her suite
- They either go to the balcony or a private room. The picked location then becomes a hostile area for every disguise.
- Sneak past security and eliminate both.
DISGUISES:
Polar Suit (self-explanatory)
Chef (All white, apron, stained shirt)
Head Chef (Apron with black streaks, chef’s hat, sunglasses on forehead)
Janitor (New York-esque janitors)
Waiter (All black, suit, long pants, masquerade mask with an ice theme)

Skiing outfit (varies between NPCs, but generic skiing outfit)
Yeti (basically the crow disguise from H:BM, but white, regular legs and a yeti head)
Resort staff (basically the resort staff from Bangkok, but the colors are instead gray and red.)
Photographer (generic photographer)
Mechanic (similar to the mechanics from Ambrose Island)
SPECIAL NPCs:
Bruno Wolf: Laoise Mona’s personal assassin
Noemi Delia: Lohan Kenzo’s personal drug dealer
Head Chef: self-explanatory
Amos Dexter: He stays in and around the restaurant
“The Eagle”: He is given orders to look over the forest with a couple of other bodyguards.
Kurou Hajime: He tries to persuade Lohan Kenzo into investing in better ski equipment. He is found in the observation deck.

- (N)ice To See You!: Arrange a meeting between Lohan Kenzo and Laoise Mona. Eliminate both with an icicle.
- A View To Die For: Arrange a meeting between Lohan Kenzo and Noemi Delia. Eliminate Lohan Kenzo with a push.
- Vocal Opinion: Eliminate Lohan Kenzo with a falling speaker (in the observation deck).

Not being picky, but it would be so cool if you’d add brief outfit descriptions for the targets and disguises? If it’s too much work, it’s fine, i’d love to see your imagination of disguises i love your map concept!
Ummmm? I’d be intrigued to see the disguise in game.
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS:
LOCATION:
The mission would be set in a fictional airport (inspired by Lennart Meri Tallinna Lennujaam, Tartu maantee airport) in Tallinn, Estonia.
TARGET INFORMATION:
Merry Christmas, 47. I hope the holidays are treating you well. Your target is Laila Karin, a Swedish born child who grew up in the closing days of the Cold War. She is a prominent role in the Swedish politics and according to my intelligence, Laila was part of SÄPO, The Swedish secret service, in 1990. My sources say that Laila is waiting for a Contact about getting back into SÄPO, after she left in 2007.
Laila Karin is currently waiting for the arrival of her contact. She is located at the Sinine Vesi airport in Tallinn, Estonia.
The airport is currently having a Christmas themed party, so expect more people to be present. The target has also asked for additional security measures.
TARGET DESIGN:
LAILA KARIN:
•Blonde long hair
•Black dress like the politician ET
•About 30-40 years old

I was going to reply to Heisenburg’s topic re: Everything you always wanted to know about my playstyle, but were afraid to ask with the text below, but thought it’d work better here.
Now. Inspired by an 80’s SEGA arcade game, Crackdown. Where you infiltrate an enemy base and place bombs in specific spots marked by a graffitied 
. In this game there is no run function/animation. But you do have a clock for all the bombs you’re carrying and must exit the level before the time is over.
You could sneak around, but eventually (and most usually) you’ll need to take out enemies. You can punch or shoot…
Anyway, that’s not Hitman.
The whole point was that since Heisenberg doesn’t like to run - would he run if the timing was tight enough to where running would be the only feasible way to complete the mission? 
Let’s suppose for a moment that you had a mission to plant a number of bombs, along with taking out a target. Sort of like the Bjarkhov Bomb. I think sinking the sub(?) is an optional objective (I can’t remember).
[imagine a briefing given by Diana with all the details so I don’t have to type them out here. I’m just not that creative. 
]
You’ve got a group of bad guys with a leader who is your main target. You’re given 3 bombs to plant, all set to explode after 10 minutes (after starting the mission). You’ll need to take out some lab equipment , some munitions and artillery , and a server that has data related to plans for operations on key targets (of this group). You do not have a detonator for the explosives. They’re only set as objectives and will go off after finishing the mission or when the time is over (10 minutes). Killing him first will make planting the bombs almost impossible. So you’ll need to plant the bombs, then take out the target all within 10 minutes, then exfiltrate. If the target isn’t killed within 10 minutes - the explosions will alert him and he’ll try to escape.
There might be a few logistics and routine to work out regarding the main target and why planting the explosives will all the sudden be “almost impossible” if he’s killed first. Maybe the target has a route amongst these 3 key points.
I’m also thinking the mission is at night / under the cover of darkness. There’d be a warehouse… chain-link fence, cameras galore… Running might not be a good idea here since it’d raise suspicion. But that’s mainly due to the cameras. Shooting them will raise suspicions too. Either avoid/dodge them or find the best route.
In the security camera room, monitors would be connected to each camera. When a camera is taken out - the corresponding monitor loses a signal. 
Take out too many cameras and you’ll have a sniper looking for you. 
That’s all I can think of for now. Other details might come to me in the future. But this seems like a pretty interesting (hypothetical) mission.
Edit: If it wasn’t obvious, you’d need to plant all 3 bombs within 10 minutes or you’ll be blown up for an
Mission Failed! ‘Agent Down’. 
As I explained in the original post, and have said a few times since then when others asked, I/47 would run if it was necessary in completing the mission within a set time or preventing something from happening that will take place very quickly, and I point to the start of the Hokkaido Patient Zero mission as an example, where you absolutely have to run, if you want to prevent other NPCs from becoming infected and adding extra targets.

Norwegian Ski Resort:
Norway’s a country that’s definitely known for its tall mountains and amazing ski resorts. I think a luxury ski hotel would make an excellent Hitman location. There’s a lot of references you could make to Cold Prey, Frozen (the horror movie not the Disney one, though feel free to reference that too), Dead Snow, and of course The Shining. I love Hokkaido as a map and I would certainly enjoy another snow covered level to wear things the Winter themed suits and jackets, and bring along gear like the Arctic Toolbox, Icepick and Quickdraw which I rarely have thematic reason to use on other levels.
I know Norway has very strict gun laws, but just like Dartmoor I think you could still get away with guards having guns if for example you have a very high profile target on location or some form of underground criminal activities going on, and of course you could also include some hunting lodge near the hotel with hunting rifles. You could even have 47 stage a hunting accident!
Since I am Swedish and ioi is Danish I am absolutely dying for some more Scandinavian representation in the maps. I would really like to have suggested a Swedish or Danish Indoor Waterpark Hotel as a fun Hitman location with lots of keycard readers and accidents waiting to happen, or likewise the Swedish Ice Hotel with guided tours and lots of ice sculptures. However unlike a ski resort location, I really struggle to imagine either of these places being filled with armed guards or plenty of deadly weapons or 47 wearing clothes where he can reasonable hide his gear!
