If they remade it with WoA mechanics, imagine the fun.

Well, not exactly! I like the suspicion system so it’d have to be a cross between the two!

Yes! It’s among the best games of all time. The physics too were revolutionary for the time. Still today games aren’t nearly as detailed in how real and consistent the physics in the game world. Everything feels physical with the bullets, bullets behave different on different surfaces and materials, make different sounds effects when hitting flesh vs glass vs metal, wood, dirt, plastic, etc., every light is an actual light source AND is destructible, the AI is so dynamic, the music is one of the best of all time

I have mixed feelings about a lot of unlocks. We slowly get every item ever released in WOA. That somehow gives more freedom and variability to play but it also is kind of boring sometimes to create contracts. For example: A New York contract where you have to kill someone with the golden sawed off bartoli in the bank robber suit. I could imagine this suit is an unlock someday and the bartoli as well. So you just start anywhere with that without the thrill/chore (depending on your playstyle) to start in the garage and unlock the shotgun with the easter egg. I really don’t need every item ever made in Hitman.
At the moment I’m re-playing the whole WOA with a clean copy (nothing unlocked). It’s so much fun to find solutions with the limited stuff you have!
Of course I could just decide to not use them or not unlock them.

It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality.
With that said, I’m unlocking things for the sake of challenges, exclusively, and almost never use them.
Well, I’m not using any “undefault” items unless conditions say so, just ICA19, hitman logo coins, and red earbuds.
All other junk just collecting dust in my locker

Colorado has one of the best missions of all time.
Reminder that I, unfortunately, only played the WoA trilogy.

If it makes you feel any better your opinion would still be wrong even with an expanded frame of reference.
Oh who am I kidding, Colorado is still better than all of Absolution.

I dunno. Absolution had things like Blake Dexter, full control over how you utilize the Silverballers, and Diana in the shower.
As for Colorado as a mission, I think it gets worse rep than it deserves, although it’s a far cry from best ever.

Colorado is absolutely fine as it is. Bangkok & Sgail are worse.

Wrong opinion?
@MrOchoa gets it.

Eh, debatable with Bangkok, but I’ll definitely give you Isle of Sgail. For that matter, I’ll also give New York. In fact, it seems to be that the maps that are primarily designed vertically, that consist of excessive security NPCs with fewer civilian-free zones in the wider areas, seem to be the poorer ones to my sensibilities, and I think on some level to many other players. Bangkok, Sgail, New York, Dubai, they have this in abundance. Chongqing is more sparely populated and has many empty places that allow for dealing with NPCs with lower chances of getting busted than those others, so it doesn’t really fit, and Paris and Hokkaido, while beating heavily secured and having a lot of civilians around to ruin things, still have about half of the map as suitable places to discreetly deal with guards and targets, so they stay just safe enough from the category. And Colorado being almost entirely horizontal with easily accessible disguises for each environment puts it above those others, at least in terms of lesser frustration in being discreet.

Sgail is one of the best H2 maps for suit only.
But Bangkok is poop yeah (and Colorado’s fine).

Bangkok probably gets my vote for worst map over the whole trilogy.

Whoever designed Bangkok has never visited a hotel in their life or got tasked to make the most nonsensical hotel level in existence.

Easily took Terminus’ throne as worst Hotel mission in the series

There is ICA DTI, which is close enough.
