I found out that if you remove the music producer (knock out or distract long enough), Jordan Cross goes to the roof to have a smoke.
At the same location he goes with the drummer “Man Machine” mission story. He can be pushed with the same cinematic of going through the glass.
(per the video, someone called “Clicker” found it first)
The guards in santa fortuna are very quick to shoot when you knife a guy in the head close to the chopper, we all heard the sounds of bullet impacts but you can actually see it too, i guess its hard to notice because youd think the commotion is because the chopper itself when you escape with it.
Okay, so, Ghost Recon Wildlands has a reference to Solid Snake, stealth icon now retired, during this Sam Fisher cutscene.
But! There is ALSO a reference to Agent 47 hidden in this closet you visit during the bonus Rainbow Six crossover mission.
Silver and I found it and I saved a clip! Neat!
Ah of course, you know we have been arguing since 2016 about why the ICA stopped giving out cash for equipment and services but it turns out the answer was because they converted the treasury into bitcoin all along.
The ICA was just a pump and dump that got way out of hand.
Actually they did send top agents after him, I believe Montgomery is explicitly labelled a top tier operator.
However they had the fatal flaw of not being the protagonist so it sucks for them. Maybe the ICA should have taken some of those bitcoins out and invested in some plot armour.
No you were correct the first time, I looked it up and not only is the passage contradicted in the game lore (Davenport is said to be the team rookie with good aim in the game) and the game states that Montgomery is the team leader with a an exceptional track record due to being ex special operations.
However the game never calls him second best in as many words. They say he is good, professional and that he personally thinks he is able to take down 47. The ICA picking him would, however, speak to their level of faith in his abilities.
However given that when he has 47 cornered five to one his first reaction was to monologue at length and cap it with an insult towards his dead brother I would say their faith was probably a tad misplaced.
The way he’s treated and described implies that Montgomery is ICA’s best active agent aside from 47, logically leaving him as their second best over all. ICA isn’t going to send anything less than the best they’ve got at 47, given his history. I don’t think their faith in him is misplaced so much as nobody is truly capable of understanding just how good 47 really is. Even Ort-Meyer, Grey and Diana, the three who’ve known him longest and understood him best, have all been surprised at one time or another at some of the things he’s been able to pull off. I’ve even theorized that he might be better than even we - the people playing as him - realize, because of the inherent limitations of the games. So Montgomery is likely a genuine John Wick-level badass, in comparison to assassins who are not 47. When you include 47, the impressiveness of such abilities drops like a corpse’s body temperature.
To put it another way, in the world of Hitman, if you’re gonna compare other assassins to 47, you only need to consider that every other assassin is not 47.
Maybe he never uses equipment like that on his missions and so didn’t know what it was? It seems to be implied that most of 47’s “coworkers” in ICA prefer the straight murder approach, with their stealthy infiltration and avoidance of casualties being the only adherence to ICA’s reputation of discretion. 47 seems to be one of the few who uses unconventional approaches to eliminating targets for various reasons. Most of the other agents may be ignorant to ICA’s full inventory.
Well, working in teams isn’t standard ICA practice for independent agents. We don’t know the logistics of how that scenario was set up. The agents may not necessarily have all met up in person, shook hands, and said let’s go get ‘em; they may have just show up to the site independently with knowledge from their usual handlers that Jiao and Montgomery would be calling the shots. Some of them may have use for ICA’s niftier tools that the others don’t.
That being said, yeah, Montgomery might have the physical capabilities to be ICA’s second best agent, but the way he’s portrayed implies he doesn’t have a professional enough of a mindset to be anywhere near 47’s level.
And that always was the thing; 47’s greatest advantage was never his physical enhancements. Yeah, it helps him with never missing a shot and subduing people faster and easier than other assassins can, but he’s beaten opponents so much more enhanced than him that they make him look like an insect. It’s his mind and emotional decoupling that allows him to be the best killer ever, with his physical prowess just boosting that in situations where it’s necessary.
In nighttime Marrakesh, the guard outside the party will turn away 47 if he’s not in his suit or a disguise of the party’s workers (guard/waiter). What I’ve discovered is if you sneak in wearing a different disguise, you’re allowed around the place but the food vendor won’t be allowed to tamper with drinks/shisha.
Fishing for sedative is tedious in Freelancer but it SEEMS the Master Freelancer suit (when worn) greatly increase the odds of catching a fish in just a few tries ish…
