and I also delivered

Listen, they've already got a ton of Knives Out references in the "Death of the Family" mission -- if IOI wants to add another crossover Elusive Target like Le Chiffre, why not do one involving Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc?

Pros:

•Blanc's third movie Wake Up Dead Man comes out in a few months, and Glass Onion already did a cross-promotion with another game about imposters and murder (hello, Amogus!)

•Blanc's a versatile enough character that you could fit him into any area, though Thornbridge Manor and Haven Island are the most obvious choices

• since Le Chiffre's mission utilizes Bond movie tropes, a Benoit Blanc mission could lean more into tropes from Blanc's series -- maybe Blanc is a VIP instead of a target, with both him and 47 trying to take out a killer in their own ways

•Blanc is a fashion icon and I'd kill to be able to let 47 wear some of his outfits

•it'd be so funny for IOI to announce they're working with Daniel Craig on a project only to reveal that he's not playing James Bond

•I wanna hear Daniel Craig say stupid things in his fake southern accent. "Excuse me, Mr Rieper, but ah need to use the bathroom"

Cons

•I don't wanna shoot Benoit Blanc :(

Saw the hoop on the way out, had to try lol

idk why they did not get sus lol

They've even got it on maps

I just 100% completed Sapienza and I’m just left feeling bad for my man Caruso

I remember feeling a bit disappointed that there's like zero dialogs with poison kills in later missions(well except robert knox's eyedrops kill ig) since sapienza is one of the first few maps in the campaign

-_-

I just found out that when you look through the scope of this sniper Ave Maria plays and I got so hyped.

I'm sorry (actually I'm not)

Hey agents! I completed my first and only hardcore campaign this morning.

It took me two attempts. Here are my personal tips:

1. Make sure you have multiple legendary and epic categories of each weapons. You likely won't finish it in one attempt so having backup is important.
2. You don't need your tools as much as you think you do. Sure, they are certainly helpfu. What you NEED is a silenced pistol and sniper rifle. You must pay attention and take advantage of the environment. A lot of times targets isolated themselves.
3. Prioritize the maps you know the best. My set of books I selected the same set of maps.
   1. I actively avoided Bangkok and Hokkaido.
   2. Colorado actually isn't bad. Make sure your take a silenced AR & sniper rifle if you decide to do this. Not a lot of pistols on this map.
      1. Don't worry about spawning with two large items. Everywhere you start is hostile in the suit anyway. The Point Man in the Barracks can legally equip a sniper rifle.
      2. If you snipe from the water tower, try to set up an accident kill.
4. The showdown map is mission critical. This is where I see the most difference in difficulty between hardcore and normal.
   1. My showdown maps were Whittleton Creek (1x) and Miami (3x). I had some success panicking suspects and shooting the leader as they fled.
      1. Miami is large and spread out. Might take you longer to find the leader, however, it's easier to contain situations if they go awry. I once got caught dumping a body by a guard. A nearby NPC heard the gunshot but suspects were too far away so we were good.
      2. Miami still has a lot of free disguises. Event Crew and Race Marshal in the garage were my go-tos.
      3. They all walk through the parking garage at some point. Plenty of lockers and bathrooms down there to stash bodies.
   2. Assassins are harmless unless alerted. It's the lookouts that are run rippers. I prioritized getting rid of them so I could walk around more freely.
   3. Although not a showdown map, Mendoza is great for parking lot snipes.
5. Pick the easiest prestige objective. I never did objectives like Silent Assassin, Timed - Get Disguises, Timed - Pacify Suspects - Silent, or anything like that.
   1. The only timed objective I would recommend is Hide and Seek.
   2. Objectives like Sniper Kill - Epic, Headshot Kill - Legendary, Open Safe - Explosive (MAKE SURE THE MAP HAS A SAFE FIRST!!!), Collateral Kill - Explosion are good.
   3. Also, scope out the map a little and your targets. Do the prestige objective at your earliest, safest, opportunity. You shouldn't be rushing unless you have a timed objective. Which...you want to avoid for obvious reasons.
6. Try to avoid combat (easier said than done) with guards in Hardcore. 47 dies earlier.

Alright agents that's enough for now.

Any questions or anything to add?

I really loved absolution. But Hitman 2 is actually the first hitman game i played (my brother had it). And i immediately loved it.

Has anyone experienced this and knows how to fix it? Im playing on xbox and restarting the game doesn't seem to fix the issue. All Npc Voices across all Maps are affected
