Top 5 favorite maps of all WOA and 3 Worst

In no particular order

5 BEST

Hokkaido
Mumbai
Dartmoor
Berlin
Chongqing

I feel like the level design generally improved with each game. Maybe it helps that Contracts was my favorite Hitman game and I can finally play that game without crap controls!

3 WORST

Bangkok
Colorado
Himmelstein

Sgail instead of Himmelstein if I must pick a real map. Those 4 are the only destinations I completely ignore.

It’s interesting to see how many people have Sgail on their list of worst maps.

Agreed. Sgail isn’t in my top 5, but it’s not that far below it.

Worst
Thailand - it’s just not a real hotel by any stretch of the imagination. Fun level but could have been way better if the hotel map was based a little more on what we expect to find in a hotel. Ultimately I think this level suffered from a time crunch :cry:
Colombia - this one could have been so good too. There is just a… je ne sais quoi missing from it. Maybe it’s just too disconnected? I’m not sure but It’s still fun. What a great game trilogy when the worst levels are still fun.
Carpathian Mountains - this is the worst map; it’s the same as the level from goldeneye on a train and designed to be played the same way too, but that’s bc Hitman is a sandbox game and this level was made to be different. I thought about following Kent’s lead and not allowing this level or the training missions but I actually like the training missions (I kinda lump both of them together which helps them compete against other maps), and so I couldn’t really think of a third map I don’t like.

I personally love Sgail. It’s gorgeous and the map is incredibly atmospheric. Some great kills opportunities too. Too bad the targets are so damn boring.

It is not my least favourite map by any means,but I can see why it’s not liked a lot.The map structure simply feels…awkward?Its verticality is really weird and many doors are locked for no good reason,which both lead to many areas feeling disconnected from the rest of the map(like the harbour,the dungeon,the penthouse,the warehouse etc.)
Zoe also doesn’t have a really great route to be honest.

I still like it for its atmosphere,the mission stories are really cool and I kinda like Sophia as a target,but definitely not one of my favourite maps.

I agree about Zoe. I don’t feel like the map is separated beyond anything that feels like it might if you were in a real castle. Obviously the constant tower is intentionally separate but it still has 2 entrances and the penthouse is basically more or less the same but you can climb the walls if you choose. The mission could have used a lot of extra effort. The MC should have eventually started the ceremony, you should have been able to help one of the initiates get enough coins to interview, things like that, but as. Mail it’s pretty slick and I always had hoped we would get a second mission there. One with quite a bit of re work, pretending ark society no longer owns it, or perhaps they still do but usually it’s on skeleton crew.

Judging from the Performance XP on my Player Profile page,

Top 5:
Berlin - 223,410 (I obviously love this map, but 5 targets definitely contribute to the higher score)
Hokkaido - 192,785 (which makes a great point for how much I love this map)
Sapienza - 167,000
Whittleton Creek - 161,395
Chongqing - 151,855

Bottom 3:
Mumbai - 76,020
Marrakesh - 70,380
Paris - 66,840

Pretty accurate overall I’d say.

(Not considering Hawke’s Bay and last level of the trilogy as maps)

Maybe people were burned out by the time they got to Sgail, since all of us had to start from scratch with H1 missions when H2 came out. Could be a factor.

2 Likes

Yea I guess that’s possible. I carried over my progress.

It’s funny bc I think I don’t like Paris as much as I should due to burnout. When H1 came out and it was the only map to play, I played a lot of it :joy:. Then even when Sapienza released you could go back to paris if you wanted. By marrekech you had 3 etc

I always have a tough time thinking about which maps I like more/less than the others.One day I might say Map X is my favourite,but then the next day I might say map Y is my favourite instead.It’s just so difficult to choose when there are so many good maps! :sweat_smile:
This is exactly why I can’t mention only 5 best maps(and trust me,I’ve been trying for days,but couldn’t decide),so I will mention 8 instead,which I all consider S tier maps.Hopefully,no one minds. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

BEST 8 (in no particular order)

1.Sapienza
2.Hokkaido
3.Miami
4.Whittleton Creek
5.Dartmoor
6.Berlin
7.Chongqing (I didn’t really use to like it,but it has grown on me a lot and now I love it.I guess I owe @Franz an apology. :sweat_smile:)
8.Mendoza

WORST 3 (in no particular order)

1.Bangkok
2.Santa Fortuna
3.Carpathian Mountains

This is also a full tier list of the maps

I should also probably mention that my rankings are mostly influenced by the main missions (particularly roulette) because I play them way more often than other modes.But I do take into consideration other modes as well.

Maps I avoided most in Freelancer
Colorado

Obviously, Hawke’s Bay and Carpathian Mountains are not part of Freelancer (thank goodness). I would rank both below Colorado.
