If the devs announced they were going to recreate some of the classic hitman levels of the past, and release them as DLC somewhere down the line, which levels would you like to see?
My three:
Beldingford Manor
A New Life (garden shears)
Meat King's Party

Hello, i am new here and just wanted to ask, what do you think about adding new elusive target if he will be hitman clone like agent 17 from H2:SA, or suit of agent 17 with brutal sunglasses, gloves and orange tie instead of adding original hitman suit, that does not really differ from contracts or codename 47 suit. Also i saw two "leaked" elusive target briefings, the twin and the blackmailer. Interesting targets.
also will be interesting to add a target, with no information about him, i mean not only where he is but also his face or outfit.

So, I completed the fifth Elusive Target and, by my logic, got an SA rating, but at the end I had (frustratingly) lost my 20k 'never spotted' bonus.I'm not sure why, but I think it might have been because I shot a car alarm, the target came over and saw me near the car and said 'stop acting weird,' or something like that.
Anyway, it made me think, since this gets asked a lot on the Forum, let's have a list of everything we know definitely causes you to lose your 'never spotted' rating. I'll edit and update this post as things become clearer:
- getting spotted killing someone or dragging a body
- getting spotted brandishing a firearm while not dressed as a suitable authority figure
- getting caught in an unauthorized area, even if you are subsequently escorted out without fuss
- getting spotted wearing a uniform by an enforcer who knows that you're not among the hired waiters/guards/etc
- persistently pushing and elbowing an NPC til the point where they feel they are being harassed and become white dots (this sometimes happens when you get stuck in a doorway and can't get past them).
- getting spotted by a CCTV camera and then failing to later wipe the cameras. (update)
- getting a 'compromised' status at any point (you will know this by using instinct and seeing NPCs glowing orange) even if you are fairly certain the person you pacified didn't get to see you. Sometimes happens when you throw an object at someone who is sideways on to knock them out.
- white suspicion bar 'maxing' (this sometimes happens when a characters white swishing suspicion bar reaches the max but you break the sight line with them at the last second. They will revert to the 'huh?' stage where they just think that they've seen something and go to investigate, but it will count as spotted.)
- Targets: car alarms and coins (TBC?) - getting caught throwing a coin or setting off a car alarm by a target who you later kill. They will say, 'stop acting weird,' or, 'you're being really strange.'
- Getting spotted throwing a fire extinguisher or other melee object (reportedly, TBC)
Any other factors people have noticed? Dropping weapons or ducks? Let's pin this thread as it gets raised often and is a source of much frustration for people...

Not sure if theirs a topic for this yet but the next Elusive is on Friday the 15th. https://hitman.com/en-gb/news/elusive-target-6-15th-july-#
Get ready for the sixth HITMAN Elusive Target!
At 14:00 CEST / 05:00 PDT on Friday 15th July, we’ll update the Elusive Target tile on the Featured Hub in-game and the contract will be live. Make sure you’re ready, because The Twin will only be in Sapienza for 72 hours and there won’t be any second chances.
To be absolutely clear on the start and end times for ET#6, for all locations, use these links: Elusive Target #6 Start Time and End Time.
The next Elusive Target is Dylan Narvaez, aka ‘The Twin’, who will be in Sapienza for 72 hours. His identical twin brother, Gonzales is also in Sapienza and must not be harmed in any way, or the contract will be cancelled. To complete this contract, you will need to choose your target with supreme care and come up with a plan to eliminate him without any collateral damage whatsoever to Gonzales.
The briefing videos for Elusive Target Contracts are of critical importance. Your contract handler, Diana, will give you specific information that will help you make sure to take down the right target. If you want to review the briefing at any time when the contract is live - even whilst you’re playing the contract itself, the HITMAN Companion is the ideal solution.
Remember that Elusive Target Contracts make changes to the existing locations and use advanced AI behaviour to create a more believable and challenging experience for players, who cannot rely on what they already know from the location or on any routines from the characters in the sandbox locations. Elusive Targets were designed to be difficult and ‘The Twin’ is the toughest one yet! Plan ahead, exercise caution and don’t take down the target until you’re absolutely sure you’ve got the right one. Good luck!
Elusive Target Rewards
For completing Elusive Targets, we have some very unique rewards that can be earned. For completing 5 Elusive Target Contracts, players will unlock the Hitman Absolution Signature Suit, with ICA tie pin and black leather gloves. For completing 10 Elusive Target Contracts, players will unlock the Blood Money Signature Suit, with gloves.
We want to make sure that the suit rewards you'll earn through Elusive Targets are prestigious, and that they can be unlocked at a faster rate. But, if you wait too long and miss too many Elusive Targets, you won't be able to unlock them all.
Here's the Hitman Absolution Signature Suit with gloves that you will unlock after completing 5 Elusive Target Contracts:
More about Elusive Targets
An Elusive Target is the closest thing to the Hitman fantasy that we've ever created. Each one is a custom-created character with their own backstory and their own unique reason for being in that location. We call them Elusive Targets because they are added to an existing location for a limited time in real-time and you'll only have one chance to take them down. If you kill them, that's the way that you killed them. There are no do-overs and no second chances. When an Elusive Target leaves the game world, they never return.
As always, Diana will brief you with critical intel that will help you track down and kill the target. That intel is more important than ever because Elusive Targets do not appear as targets on the mini map or instinct. You'll need to explore, find your target, study their movements and come up with a plan to eliminate them - all whilst playing. The pressure will be on when you've got the target in your sights. If you miss the shot and chaos breaks loose, you will need to have a plan B, because the save-game is disabled during an Elusive Target contract.
We know that Elusive Targets are not going to be easy, they were designed that way.
Need a recap? This is Elusive Targets in a nutshell:
Elusive Targets are added to the game for a limited time in real-time. They won’t return.
You only get one chance to take them down. If you die, you fail the contract and cannot retry it.
Elusive Targets do not show up on the in-game map or Instinct. You need to locate and identify them with limited intel.
Earn in-game rewards for completing multiple Elusive Target contracts throughout the season.
Every Elusive Target adds two unique challenges to the game; one 'target' challenge for eliminating the specific Elusive Target and a 'Silent Assassin' challenge for eliminating the target without being spotted and without any non-target casualties.

The Hitman companion app is now available on iOS and Android devices. The app displays news updates about the game and will send you a notification when an elusive target is available, as well as giving you information about the elusive target.
This thread can be used to give feedback on the app and maybe suggest new features for it.

We are excited to announce that the HITMAN Companion is now available as a free download for iOS and Android phones.
The HITMAN Companion focuses on keeping all players up-to-date with the latest news and makes it easy to get all the information you need about what’s been added to the game, direct from your phone wherever you are. Every week since the game launched in March 2016, we’ve released new Escalation Contracts, Elusive Targets and Featured Contracts on top of the episode releases.
Elusive Targets are a key part of the live content and the HITMAN Companion will make sure you’re the first to know when they are live in the game. You’ll be able to use the app whilst you’re playing to always have the image of the target to look at. That’s especially important because when you’re playing an Elusive Target Contract, you don’t have any assistance from the in-game map in identifying your target, so the app could be the difference between success and failure.
For every Elusive Target that is released, we’ll send notifications through the Companion, and you’ll be able to view the image, countdown and briefing video of the target for the duration of the contract.

I've been meaning to ask this question for a while to get the community's definitive opinion on the matter, but I didn't know how to make a poll. Bill Gates I am certainly not.
lol
But I finally worked it out, so the question is:
How many times do you think we should be able to restart an Elusive Contract?
- As many times as we like (the current set-up).
- Three times (in case of rare glitches).
- Never. (One try should mean one try.)

Does anyone else miss 47s cutscene interactions with NPC's mid mission? Such as Blood Money when you receive your hotel room key, get your jacket off the secruity guard etc.. not saying its a major complain just though it would be nice to have in although I still enjoy the current real time format.

This week in HITMAN, we’re looking ahead to Elusive Target #6 and the Summer Bonus Episode.
First up this week, let’s look at the new content that has been added to the game.
Live Content for the week of July 4th
5 New Featured Contracts in Marrakesh
We put out the call for submissions last week and you delivered. 5 new contracts have now been marked as Featured and can be found at any time in the Featured Contracts menu.
All of the contracts are set in Marrakesh, adding a good balance to the existing Featured Contracts in Paris and Sapienza. If you've got a suggestion for a contract that should be featured, keep adding them to the list in our submission thread on the forums.New Escalation Contract in Paris
A new 5-stage Escalation Contract can be selected under the Paris Destination this week. Each stage will add a complication that makes the contract more complex. Whether it's a new target with a specific kill condition or a restriction on changing disguises, Escalation Contracts will test your skills with the mechanics of the game; they're designed to be more playful and fun than realistic.
The new Escalation Contract this week is called The Teague Temptation.

Summer Bonus Episode
After Elusive Target #6, we’ll have our full focus on the Summer Bonus Episode that we announced during the week of E3 and that is going live on July 19th.
It will include two separate ICA missions, Agent 47’s first trips to both Sapienza and Marrakesh. In Sapienza, ‘The Icon’, sees the town taken over by a film crew shooting a new sci-fi blockbuster complete with a 100ft mechanical killer robot in the middle of the town square – what sort of accidents lie in wait with a whole film set, complete with pyrotechnics, at your disposal..? And in ‘A House Built on Sand’ players will travel to the noisy and busy night markets of Marrakesh where 47 must stop a billion dollar deal taking place.
The Summer Bonus Episode is not part of the story arc of HITMAN and will arrive before the 4th episode in Thailand, which hits in August.
For players who own the Full Experience or own the combination of Intro Pack + Upgrade Pack, the Summer Bonus Episode is included at no additional cost and will unlock on July 19th. For all other players, the Summer Bonus Episode will be available for individual purchase later in the Season, packaged together with a third bonus mission for one price. At that time, Full Experience and Upgrade Pack owners will also get access to the third bonus mission at no additional cost.

As of 'This week in HITMAN - 08.07.16', IO has confirmed that there will be a third bonus mission later in the season, and that it will come with the purchasable version of the summer bonus episode.
We know very little info about this episode at the moment, so stay tuned for more from IO.

Since those that do not have at least the upgrade at this point cannot play the Bonus Missions on July 19th, I thought this would be an interesting poll.
