Jump on that ****, boys.

Has anyone given a head-to-head match a shot? I'm really looking forward to them expanding it to more than one map. For those that are in the dark about it, here's a video:

In the first match I played, I thought it was going to be easy work. I was sitting on a 2-1 lead and everything was going smooth. In my head, I had visions of coasting to an easy victory, but that ended up being far from what actually happened in reality.

We reached a point in the game where he got his 4th kill before me while I got spotted trying to secure mine. Bullets started flying, I was started running for my life, and then I actually lost a point for killing a non-target. Since the AI remembers what you did even if you die during the match, my cover was blown and I was scrambling looking for disguises.

Even though you can see each other's avatar on the map, you play in separate game worlds. So while I was going through hell, he was cruising along to his final kill. I made it about 20 meters to the target, but it was too late at that point. He got the W in a good one.

The fact that targets are randomly generated on the map will add a lot of longevity to that mode once they get it past the beta point.

I went Thursday night and no deal. Now I see this and they’re just begging me to go pick this up tonight. Curse you GameStop!

Re: Hitman 2

I spent like 3-4 hours on that race track mission last night. What an absolutely fantastic location, they really nailed it with the first two that I've played. I was able to get one target with a sweet accidental kill, but I couldn't figure out a crafty way to kill his daughter. I ended up pulling a fire alarm and shanking her when she ran out lol. That'll work.

I went ahead and turned off all the hints from the start because I feel they walked you through missions a bit too much when playing the last game. I discovered a ton of cool stuff in this first run because I was being a lot more creative about getting around the map. That level is huge, btw. Looking forward to playing more this weekend.

Spoiler

My favorite kill on the Miami map is when you kick the father off the grandstand onto to track and his daughter hits him and then crashes.

Both targets eliminated.

Re: Hitman 2

Just to clarify when I said "in-store" I meant placing the order online, getting a hold, and then doing in-store pickup. I don't know what will happen if you just walk into the store and ask for the discount. This being Cyber Monday it might have to be ordered online to get the discount.

In any event, I own the physical game now, and I'll try it out when I get off work.

My favorite experience in the first game was turning off all the aids and just finding my own path through the missions. Looking forward to that again.

Bought this during the holiday sale. First time I had fun with a Hitman game since Blood Money. The cut scenes however are whack. Overall a great game.

Re: Hitman 2

I didn't get to play much yet, but I enjoyed what I did very much. The first mission with the house on the beach was impressive. That's an excellent level.

In the case of Hitman 2, I'm glad they didn't try to reinvent the wheel since the last game's mechanics were great. New locations and to take out people was honestly all that I needed, so I'm good. I agree that fans of the series should enjoy this one.

I played a bit of the Sniper add-on too and I'm excited about the possibility of DLC in the future for that mode. I haven't tried it in co-op yet, but the potential for that and campaign levels is exciting. There's a lot that can be done with this game down the line.

My only gripe isn't really that big of a deal but it's a little disappointing. I was a big fan of those CGI sequences before and after missions in the last game, but those have been replaced with art stills for the most part. Those were so well done that I hate that they're gone, but I understand that sacrifices had to be made with them no longer at Square Enix.

Wooooooooooow

Agreed. This game was more challenging. Some levels you had no choice but you had no choice but to follow mission stories. And some levels where you had to be creative just to get initial disguise.

The cutscenes kind of killed the "story" aspect for campaign. I get their situation was different. But the still frames made it hard to follow the story line. I just beat the game a couple days ago but I can barely remember anything from the story. Also I wished their was alittle more awareness of deaths. Everything is still status quo unless you kill them in a obvious way.

It was good game. But Blood Money continues to be my favorite. Story tied into well into missions. I like the mission summaries. I think it was a newspaper style. Where it say where bodies we're hidden and if it was a assassination or accident. Where you really had to be cautious of your methods. You couldn't just recklessly kill people. It would affect your next mission
