[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;38595274]I thought about letting Lenny [sp]get away in the desert[/sp] but I remembered all the shit he did so I decided to[sp] Shoot him in his limp leg with the hunting rifle[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]Should of shot him in his other leg so that both didn't work anymore[/sp]

In the desert. With no water or way to call for help.[/sp] A bullet would have been mercy.

I like how the game penalizes you for pacifications, so you cant just get a bogus score by hiding all the bodies, but i really dont like when its nigh impossible to hide a body after you pacified someone, so you get a penalty for it even if you found a hiding place for the body that isnt a bin or closet. (like a bathroom stall)

3-0210-986328-JETF My first go at dicking around with Contracts.

I wish there was actually a way to disable the scoring system display. I don't like how it shows you how much it doesn't like you having fun with the game. Sometimes I like just shooting people with a pistol and leaving their body alone. It's not particularly Hitman, but it's more fun than gradually choking them into a silent sleep and then slowly dragging their body to a closet or tub. Instead I get a big "-3000 POINTS I DON'T LIKE THAT NO FUN".

[QUOTE=NeoSeeker;38590838]is it just me or is everyone disappointed by this game not realizing that contracts mode has been around in one form or another ever since hitman games have been around? you guys do realize that they basically took something from hitman forum which was basically in game roleplay and made it into a bonafide game mode. yes people actually wrote up missions and such where you had to kill this one dude with this one weapon. except it was all imagined, nothing was in game. goto hitman forum right now, i think they still have the section for at least bloodmoney.[/QUOTE] Well considering the introduction cinematic for that mode directly cites and mentions what you've said as being the main reason an actual mode was created, yeah, I'd say they knew too.

Playing on hard. [sp]Fucking library in run for your life, I don't know how I got through it undetected the first time, but my god. [/sp] I am starting to make contracts now. I would post my most popular, but I am not sure if all 3 versions on the platforms all have the same contracts pool, or if 360 players can only share with other 360'ers. [sp] Yeah yeah filthy console peasant, I know, etc. [/sp]

A book is really great for killing people.

Squirrel, not a gopher. Gopher would be funnier I think, missed opportunity there IO.

Courtroom is graphically pleasing. That is all. Still, the Tutorial mission is my favorite so far

[QUOTE=ForgotPassword;38598051]is it possible to make a contract where you have to kill everyone with a fire extinguisher and dressed as a gopher?[/QUOTE] Yep. As long as theres a fire extinguisher in the level.

Darn, this is so frustrating. I am at the last mission. Tried to rush it, but too little time. Have to go to school now, and won't be able to continue before another ~7 hours pass by.

On the second saints level... I managed to get silent assassin kills on both nuns with the piano wire... however then I couldn't get sneak past the 2 guys guarding the exit without alerting anyone, and distracting them with wrenches or cars still left one guy standing guard and people seeing me if I pacified him... So I ended up replaying the level, getting silent assassin on both the nuns with the piano wire, saved the civilian, pacified every single guard in the whole level so nobody could detect me when I wanted to exit, grabbed the evidence, and I left with silent assassin rating.

Am I the only one to think Contracts mode is really not much fun at all? It is literally the same as the story mode, there's nothing new added to the game. There's really no incentive to bother with that part of the game at all, and it adds no replay value to the game because it's just like the level select option in the Story mode. The only fun thing to do after beating the game is to do all the challenges in each of the levels, really.

I tried doing that on purist, but I just couldn't really see a way to do it, probably is there, but I'll have to replay it to find out.

[QUOTE=Ybbats;38599022] it's just like the level select option in the Story mode.[/QUOTE] Uh what? No it isn't.

[QUOTE=Ybbats;38599022]Am I the only one to think Contracts mode is really not much fun at all?[/QUOTE] It's fun for people who want to compete, or try to find new targets to kill in a stealthy way.* But if that's not your way of playing, then yeah, then it's probably quite boring. *Depends who made the contact... Last three I got were basically GUN AND RUN contracts.

[QUOTE=Daniellynet;38599031]What difficulty?

The guard talking to the nun can be pulled right in front of her without noticing, and later she walks close to the wall while the other guys are facing the other way. Lastly, I turned on the radio to distract the guy threatening the civilian.

Oh, man. The Saints mission is so cool. [sp] Running around taking names in a...kimono? [/sp] Not to mention the second level [sp] YOU CAN BLOW UP A FUCKING GAS STATION [/sp]

I thought the size of this game was quite big? i am at 70 percent downloaded after 30 minutes..

Talking about [sp]Lenny in the desert[/sp], when Hitman said "Start walking," I started following him. I just walked normal speed following him, visibly armed with one Silverballer, listening to him panic. When he got to the wagon, he tried to shoot me twice (I think they missed, a 2-shot pistol), then he said sorry etc, and kept escaping me, didn't even try to reload anymore. He came to the tree and kept going, I grabbed the axe from the three and throwed it in the back of his head as he was limping away further. And that was it. I shouldn't have, but it was not significant. He would have died to the carrion birds too, they are hungry motherfuckers.

But then I killed him, reloaded the game and tried the Easter egg. :v:
