Easiest ET I did so far and with a syringe too.
Good thing virus kill is essentially poison kill, that letting the bodies be found was fine.
Started in morgue, used the scrambler to grab the virus. Grabbed a morgue suit. Killed the female doctor first by following her (she enters an empty room that connects to a room full of guards), and the male doctor by following him on the bar where he goes outside to look over a balcony (also good for push kill).

I assume fewer elusives this month because it must be all-hands-on-deck for developing and testing season 2 levels by now.
I think I've sunken more time into escalations than any other game mode, just because they can have crazier restrictions than any other mode (like being forced to pull out a pistol every 7 seconds while not being allowed to disguise as a guard).
Not every escalation is that elaborate, but there have been some highlights lately (The Meiko Incarnation, The Lyndon Gyration, The Adrian Eclipse).

The really good escalations are some of the most interesting content in the whole game. You should definitely try a few.

Kind of amusing gif I saw on reddit.

Damn one ET this month makes the failure of the last ET sting even more. Looks like I can't get the winter suit until April now as I still need two more SA ratings.

You also can't save during an escalation, which IMO, makes it a ton of fun when you get some of the more complex ones and have to just continue to improvise if you make a mistake or get spotted.

I'd alternate between doing some of the featured contracts and escalation contracts and replaying the story missions to open up more mastery levels so you get more gear, starting locations, etc. and learning the level so you have it more or less mastered by the time the elusive targets come around, which change things up and are a "one chance" kind of game mode.
The progression tends to go Story>Escalation>Elusive in terms of exerting your mastery over a location.
There's also the bonus missions, too. Don't forget to dig into The Icon, A House Built On Sand, and Landslide.
Basically, you want to work on unlocks and generally learning the levels more and more, but don't burn yourself out. If you feel like that's coming on, change it up.

Same here. I have a grand total of one SA on ETs.

"HITMAN - The Complete First Season" is up for sale on PSN at £21.99, the lowest it's ever been on there by the looks of it.
Guess it's a good time to jump on it?

You should probably wait until next year when all the season 2 content is released.
At that point you might as well wait until 2019 when season 3 finishes.
It's a great time to jump in, especially at that price.
Oh man, one ET this month is such a bummer. I was loving one every two weeks.
I don't touch Escalations because they get hella repetitive, so the sting of one ET hurts more. I hope they don't make one ET a month going forward to pad until Season Two...
And where is the clown?! Nighttime Marakkesh's target was hinted at weeks ago, and was mentioned around the time The Surgeons were.

I didn't get anything. IO doesn't like me
Completed 5 professional maps (20/20 challenges) but for some reason I can't find the motivation to do Hokkaido. Kind of wish they had let us bring a loadout in that map from the start in professional mode.

New escalation for Marrakesh: The Raskoph Satisfaction.
Level 5:
Level 5:
Kill 3 targets with explosions with no more than 10 seconds between consecutive kills.
I finally bought this on sale, but already the first level is busting my balls.

I'd rather get the answer on this before I restart the level.
Thanks!
I have
stolen Krugers clothes, got the make up done and went out on the cat walk.
In the middle of the walk I get "opportunity failed" for no apparant reason. Is this a bug?
I spent some time in the level before finding this stuff out, so I wonder if there is some kind of timer on this?

Any chance they found his body? More likely it's the following, which I've spaced out depending on how much info you want.
-
You missed something when you took his clothes. Go back to where you got them and look around.
-
You need to let him speak on the phone before taking his clothes.
-
You need to use his phone to call Dalia before walking the catwalk.
I did all those things. Must have been someone found his body? Shouldn't the game tell me if a body is found, though?
Restarted the level, did the exact same thing, hid the body in the same place, and it worked.

I had a friend over the night before Switch midnight launch. So to kill time we started doing random escalations and handed the controller back and forth between attempts. The rule was no matter what happened you had to go for it. Some of the most fun I've had gaming in a long time. I love this game.

Novikov probably came out just behind you. You might need to get to the runway quicker.
The HITMAN March Update releases worldwide across PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC on March 14th 2017.
The update will arrive for all players between 11am and 1pm UTC. There will be a short period of server maintenance, starting at 9am UTC. We expect the download size for the March Update to be less than 450mb on consoles and approximately 1GB on PC.
(Seems pretty small. I'm guessing it's all hands on deck for season two at this point, so we're in for some quiet months before going big again.)

Finally the escaping mechanic for elusive targets gets implemented!
Eluaive targets were meant to be able to escape the map from the beginning, but that element was cut for most of them because it was unpopular in testing. Now we get to see how well it actually works in practice.

So does the fact the ET can escape mess with restarting it at all? I'm guessing we don't know that yet. If it follows the same rules I wouldn't think so since you haven't done any of the objectives, but maybe I'm wrong.

Hi Hitman fans, quick question.....
I am interested in this game but the amazon reviews complain about how short it is, even compared to other Hitman games. Does this game have enough content for a purchase? What price point do you think is suitable for the content on the disk?

for me it was easily worth full price, but I played it episodically and got 100 hours out of it
if you simply play all the missions once, it can be short, there are only 6 of them +2 small tutorial missions.
But the game has already been on sale several times and surely will be again

Honestly, you're wasting your own time asking here. We all love the game, some have put over 600 hours into it. It's six very replayable levels and is worth the full $60. Buy and join us.
60$ easily. 42 hours into the game and I'm nowhere close to done.

Yeah a lot of depends on how you intend to play it. I was very sceptical about the idea of replaying larger missions instead of having like a dozen shorter ones, but I loved it after I finally played the game. I didn't go for 100% of the challenges, escalations etc., but I've spent about 50-60 hours with the game and unlocked all achievements.
