Thats a false equivelant though, gama is a hospital/resort/onsen for the exurberant rich. A concept that lends itself well to creative map design. An airport is an airport regardless of visual stature or size

As I said, it’s down to imagination. There are private airports that exist too. Creativity. Imagination. You’re telling me that if they make an airport, it will be like every other airport. I’m saying that it doesn’t have to be the case.
Considering they already made an airport map that sticks pretty close to reality, I’m thinking they wouldnt go super far into wild territory when they make another. Furthermore theres not much you can do with an airport to make it more exciting
No joke, this is the ENTIRE airport…
Come to think of it, that’s probably about the size of a small Hitman map if you include an outdoor area… hmm…

Here’s the entire grounds map:
You know, considering it’s Fargo, ND, that could totally be the snow map AND the airport map in one location…
IOI, get on this!

Of course there is. It’s just a matter of sitting down and brainstorming. You’d be surprised. Take Santa Fortuna - who would have thought you’d be able to kill someone with a hippo? You just need to be inventive, even within reason.
A hippo kill on an escobar clone isnt the stroke of creative genius you think it is

I didn’t say it was genius, I was saying it was unexpected and entertaining.
Entertaining for sure, but it shouldnt be unexpected

Why not?
20 hippopotamuses
Rico delgado is a famous drug lord in colombia, an obvious reference to pablo escobar. Pablo escobar is well known for introducing hippos into colombia.
Hitman is a game about killing targets in outlandish ways, so having a reference to pablo escobar be killed by his pet hippo is the dark irony hitman specializes in.
Thusly it was expected for me personally, still didnt make it any less fun or funny.

Ah, but you see, I didn’t know that about Escobar and hippos, therefore it can’t be considered something that shouldn’t have been unexpected. Anyway. Airport level for the win. Put a hippo in it somewhere sure.

Aye, thats completely fair. May they have a hippo when they blow my expectations away with a non-boring airport level

We need Gibraltar Airport in the next Hitman game. It’s tiny and pretty nice.
‘I would like to throw in ‘Invitation to a party’, St. Petersburg Stakeout’, ‘St.Petersburg Revisited’ and ‘Kirov Park Meeting’ into the fold.

I’m not anticipating anything (there is no point - after all, no new maps have been announced yet), merely suggesting some ideas that could make a snowy level feel slightly different from other locations in the gameplay department and not necessarily boring. On the technical side - almost all of the ideas are either already implemented (icicles in Hokkaido, snowball making in Snow Festival) or would require a basic “reskin” of an existing feature (slippery ice as a reskin of wet floors, small snow piles for item stashing as a reskin of trash bins, big snow piles for hiding bodies - as a reskin of bushes or just a smartly set up body dump point? dumb but whatever)
A mere presence of a snow doesn’t dictate level’s design to be good or bad, it is only a decoration (though it may also allow for some gameplay features that might not have made sense in a sunny level - see above). You yourself have been suggesting the idea to put a snow on an already existing map, and that obviously would not turn a good level bad.
PS: I hate myself for using so many (parentheses), sorry

Okay i stand corrected, Invitation to a Party and Kirov Park Meeting are very good. But the other two? Decent at best.
