Another thing I found while exploring Haven out of boredom… this magazine with Steven Bradley on the cover in Tyson’s bathroom (also going to tag @StevenBradley in this though I’m sure they’ve probably seen it already LOL):

You know you made it when your face is on Fortae.
This is a cool find. I wish I knew what the small text on the left says.

I noticed that leveling up your player profile level in HITMAN 3 is noticeably slower than in HITMAN 2. This is mainly due to the fact that a number of legacy challenges were either removed or nerfed by lowering their XP Score.
Given that I decided to start H3 completely from scratch, I wanted to know how this change would affect my player level after 100% completion.
So, I got down to the nitty gritty and began comparing the number of available challenges in both games. I also jotted down the XP you get per location by completing those challenges.
Lo and behold, my results:
| Location | Challenges | Challenge XP | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| H2 | per mission | H3 | per mission | H2 | H3 | |
| ICA | 44 | 16+28 | 41 | 14+27 | 61,000 | 66,000 |
| Paris | 77 | 64 | 275,000 | 183,000 | ||
| Sapienza | 152 | 86+20+32+14 | 139 | 75+19+31+14 | 428,000 | 341,000 |
| Marrakesh | 103 | 68+35 | 91 | 59+32 | 305,000 | 216,000 |
| Bangkok | 82 | 65+17 | 71 | 55+16 | 267,000 | 191,000 |
| Colorado | 71 | 65+6 | 63 | 57+6 | 244,000 | 177,000 |
| Hokkaido | 89 | 75+14 | 70 | 56+14 | 292,000 | 204,000 |
| Hawke’s Bay | 35 | 28 | 108,000 | 66,000 | ||

| Santa Fortuna | 91 | 78+13 | 81 | 68+13 | 318,000 | 228,000 |

| Total* | 1,258 | 1,423 | 3,966,000 | 3,643,000 |
* Not included: The Classics, Ghost Mode Challenges, Performance XP
- 147 Legacy Challenges were removed from HITMAN 3.
- The number of “The Classics” challenges was almost halved.
- Challenge Packs gave up to 40,000 XP (+ 6 levels) per location.
- Performance XP varies widely from H2 to H3 (and from player to player).
I guess the following can be said about your player profile level:
100% completion in HITMAN 2 puts you between Level 660 and 665
(~ 770 if you include Performance XP)
100% completion in H3 (from scratch) puts you between Level 605 and 610
(~ 690 if you include Performance XP)
100% completion in H3 (with H2 progress) puts you between Level 790 and 795
(~ 950 if you include Performance XP)
These are rough estimates but reaching Level 1000 is almost impossible if you haven’t transferred your progress or don’t use exploits (e.g. Patient Zero).
… Why did I do this to myself?

There are not only challenges influence H3 XP gaining speed.
Regular actions like subduing somebody, destroying camera etc. give much less XP in H3.
I believe it makes sense, but strange nonetheless

That raises the question: Are there any benefits from reaching a higher level? It’s pure cosmetics, right? (not talking about mastery)

No, no benefits at all.
Just new badges. If we have new in comparison to HITMAN 2

I remember buying it for PC back in 2006 on release. Sadly my pc was unable to run it and I quickly returned it to GameStop (EB Games back then) and traded it in for the PS2 version. I still got the steelbook version I bought that day.

What i read: It needed more time to be as mediocre as possible, so we decided to make a better game in the meantime and release it as Hitman Contracts.

The event starts on June 10, and that’s when the next content update happens for Hitman 3. And the next Season starts a few days later. Maybe we’ll get lucky and it’ll get announced there.

Project 007 probably not but a first look at their new IP is possible, maybe ?

That is what the Chinese Gov wants you to believe. You don’t get to see their underground facilities.

Maybe because it’s already burnt out by some anonymous Tobias guy? Random thought…
