I would LOVE some bonus levels that were remakes of old levels.

More to the point, I want the Meat King's party back. I loved that level and would play it constantly.

I never did find out what good the air rifle in the tree house was in the suburbs level, I managed to silent assassin it, but could never figure out what good that treehouse was.

If you shoot the dog with the air rifle from the treehouse it'll go nuts and they lock it up letting you get in through the side door... I think.

Also, I'd really like to see some awesome non-SA solutions to some of this stuff. What I'm thinking of is like on Deadly Cargo from Contracts, where you can kill the guy on the ship and take the detonator. Nothing quite like just brazenly walking out of the level while carrying the detonator, recognized by everyone but with no one to stop you because they're afraid of triggering the nuke.

That was a loving boss level when you do that. Or couldn't you demand a helicopter too? Standing out on the ship with a load of fellas pointing guns at you but holding the detonator up as you waited for evac. Awesome.

Oh and as much as I liked Kane & Lynch 1 they should be targets in this.

I know, right? I can only do that mission if I cheese it behind some of the pillars and pick the dudes off one by one as they pop around the corner and even then it's pot luck.

Although finishing the remnants off with the hedge trimmers is pretty satisfying.

Question: do sedated guards wake up after a time or are they effectively dead until someone finds them?

Effectively dead. Another way of doing it is taking people hostage then knocking them out with the butt of your gun. The advantages being you can move them to a secluded area quicker when holding them hostage than dragging their unconscious body.

I always wished BM had a replay feature because I was casually loving around on the Playboy level and shot the glass bottomed hot tub and I don't know why but it created a vortex and violently sucked a few people who were standing nearby into the gaping hole as the water dumped out of it.

I used to hate the boat level because I'd always get lost. I'm a bit of a pleb that way. It was the whole having to cross the boat to get to a lower level thing.

I also love that at the wedding people don't give two fucks about your gun and you can shoot the groom as they're all shooting in celebration. I'd take my suppressor off for that level specifically.

The only things you need to beat the game are a choke point and plenty of ammo. Don't know if there's a god mode or invisibility mode but throwing those on, dressing as the clown and taking out the whole level with hedge clippers would be all the incentive I'd need to cheat.

I played Curtains Down a fuckload of times but never got SA. I'd swap the pistol out to kill the singer and bomb the lights to fall on the other dude which counts as an accident, right? Because I could never avoid crushing his body guards as well.

I'd drug and steal the clothes of a worker who was having a slash in the bogs at the beginning for an all access disguise if that helps.

Same for A New Life.

I'd drug the FBI in the van with donuts for their clothes, kill the bloke as he was looking at internet porn and shove his wife into the indoor pool or burn her with the BBQ (accidents again, right?) but still no SA.

Not that it matters now because I sold the game. Just curious.

So how do you kill the other hitmen(woman) in the Heaven & Hell level in a sneaky fashion?

That's one level I should have played around with more to be honest. I always did it one specific way. Strangle the boss in the gold suit then rig the pyro to kill the woman which would be an easy silent assassin if it weren't for the other killers on the level that you have to take out.

From what I recall there's a room where you can stand behind a projector in hell and shoot them both when they discuss the new gun I believe. That would have been a fun method.

Is that for SA? Because I could sometimes slip behind her with the fibre wire but most times I'd end up nutting her then shooting/poisoning her.

With the priest he's sipping a drink but I could never poison it. Not sure if shooting him counts against your SA rating but the newspaper always mentions how many shots you fire despite him saying that whatever happens in that room stays in that room.

Why did I sell the game again? drat it.

The female walks into the office occasionally and up to the window, then talks on a cellphone about killing you for a minute or so, you can take her out there. Feels really cool to interrupt her conversation about killing you with strangling her, sends a great message to the guy on the other end.

Not much you can do to stealth Maynard as far as I know, which is a shame, but whatever. Shooting him up still gets you SA.

Never knew that. Brilliant. I always enjoyed loving around with the stilettos too. And yeah, didn't mention the laptop because it's a moot point once you get the gold suit disguise. It almost makes the entire level too easy because you have access everywhere and all you need to do is have the patience to wait for the guy to head to the elevator.

One thing I'd like for Absolution is the ability to carry melee weapons over like you do with guns. I'd like to replay all the levels with knives.

Alternatively you can always push the son down the stairs where the yard leads to the cellar the guard on the upper floor very rarely notices it.

OH well that's a bit of a relief. I always felt it was a bit sloppy to blow up the winch to drop the barrels on him and shoving him down the stairs, whilst great, seems less viable as a hitman method than poisoning coke.

I was also disappointed to find that the hammer cannot be used to assassinate people who are sitting down. I was going for a gimmick run.

This is my main worry to be honest, the level that the previews are talking about seems pretty cool, but sounds like a rehash of the last level in Contracts. Would be a shame if they all take place in abandoned factories at night and stuff.

They made a point of mentioning the new engine cane handle hundreds of models so there's going to be at least one crowded level.

This sounds like it might be a tutorial level anyway. Seems to cover a wide variety of things you can do within the game. Sounds great too, and I think being able to see people through walls it the games way of showing you that 47 can hear their footsteps or something. And the "mind reading" could be written off as 47 clicking on to peoples expressions and body language.

All speculation, of course.

You could only do it quickly if you knew what you were doing though. The necklace thing screwed a lot of people over who just tried to take him out through the glass and run off!

I liked the levels that had a little extra to them like that. If I could tweak the game though I'd have those additional objectives be on the higher difficulties. In a New Life on easy you just have to kill Vinny. You could just run up to the window with an assault rifle and pepper the dude with bullets and bugger off.

I'm remaining optimistic about the new game until I get more details.

They could even make certain hits like that completely optional, or it could be something like "in this section, you're collecting 'microfilm'", "in this next section, you're carrying out two hits" and finally "in this section, you need to rescue someone".

I as thinking about that and I don't know how I feel about it. On one hand if these "checkpoints" are like small levels within a level I wouldn't just want to run from point A to B but on the other hand it feels like it could just be full of padding.

The target is in a Warehouse down the street. You'll be entering this Coffee shop down the street first, 47 where you have to move from building to building picking up a laundry list of items.
