"Hitman 2"

I picked this up from an 'Indy' today.

Excellent game. Aren't quite feeling what NGC seemed to like about it quite yet, but it is pretty good fun, and also techinicly sublime.

Done the first level (gaem involves A LOT of patience) and got a proffessional rating, after my first try of 'Gun for hire' as I massacred all and sundry.

I reccommend. Now on St. Petersburg, and it looks lurvly.

Gah

Those Indian levels are really hard to do in stealth. The streets are really narrow and there's so many guards around, everytime you try and take someone out, another guy walks round the corner and see's you.

Managed to do the first Indian level but gave up on stealth at the end and just pulled out my twin ballers and smoked me some turban. Managed to take out the first general through his bedroom window with my sniper rifle, problem was, everytime I did this the guards heard and the other guy you're supposed to be killing legged it towards the gates, managed to cap him in the back of the head but then everyone saw so I had to go sick with the ballers.

Haven't got a clue how I'm gonna ever get Silent Assasin on that level though, I tried sneaking into the generals house at first and taking him out with the fibre wire, but everytime I went up the stairs he saw me. I guess I just need some kind of sniper rifle with a silencer on it, not sure how i'll manage to take out the 2nd guy though as he's got a bodyguard following him round all the time. Oh and then there's the fun of getting the map and the key from their corpses.

Anyone know what the key from the far guard house is used for?

Oh and don't give me any tips about any of the other stuff, wanna work it out for myself.

Yeah, damn the distance those things make the victims fly is insane.

Shot some guy from quite a distance with them, went over to hide his corpse and realised he was about 10 metres away from where I expected to find him.

Excellent.

The double silenced ballers are one of the best weapons in the game, I'm sure u've all got them by now :)

Whilst I was collecting every weapon I didn't bother with stealth and I needed the golf club next to his bed so I went up and got that for the shed. I managed to get up their using stealth but it does require a few lures and tricks.

Nah, I also went into his bedroom but climbed the ladder down the side of the house.

You managed to get into his bedroom?

I didn't chance it, I waited for him to walk to his bedroom then went into the office like area and stood in the door way with fibre wire in hand. Waited for him to come back and strangled the git when he had his back turned.

Heh!

By that I strangely meant 'quick'.

Told you the map would be crucial ;)

A wauick way to get SIlent Assasin on first level is to take a sniper with you form the 2nd level. As he takes a swing with the gold club on the balcony you it him and the momentum is enough to knock him off the balcony so you can collect what he has. The guards do not see him and you don't have to mess around with getting to the top and into his bedroom.

What a sodding excellent game, got a silent assasin rating on the first level last night. Took me bloody ages, had to watch all the guards on the map to see what paths they followed and which way they were facing when they did it.

Took me an absoloute age to get into the dons room, but felt superb when I eventually managed to fibre wire the fat git and sneak out the back gate.

OK, when I wrote that I thought you were talking about the guards dressed as ninjas with those weird masks?
