I don't like that you can't move your suit when you take it off.
I'm ok that it's not an inventory item, but you should be able to carry it inside things to other places so you can more conveniently locate it for your exit.
The Mississippi hit takes a long goddamn time. I'm working my way up deck by deck, taking down target by target, but I fuck up when someone sees me injecting the cake. A few frantic moments later, I'm dead.
I'll try again tomorrow.
I had the most trouble with that level this last time. I put the one Gator in the boiler, pushed the other off the rail after he finished with his woman, and got the one at the front of the boat by the stairs going to the top by knocking him out and throwing him over, but the 3 up top kept giving me trouble. The guy with the shotgun was freaking psychic. I finally gave up and shot all three.
And Tube, you can definitely get to the escape boat by jumping off the front. If you start at the bottom of the curved stairs but walk along the outside of them, you can basically walk up them. Just get to the top and walk towards the front of the boat and you'll fall. Just jam the E button and you'll Escape as you land by the boat. Not sure if the fall would kill you otherwise, but it certainly hurts. I bet they do it on speed runs, if my description isn't good enough.
Isn't Contracts the newest game? Or is it still inferior to Blood Money? You guys have made me want to buy the hell out of this game but I want to make sure I am buying the agreed best.
Heh. I just played through Death On the Mississippi using Tube's rules. Only I fucked it up at the very, very beginning, and had to run and gun carefully through the entire level. I avoided going inside when I could help it, climbing trellises and such. Pretty much zero stealth, and I never changed out of my suit. Miraculously, I survived, though I fired 70 something rounds with my silverballer, killed 50 something people, and had over a dozen headshots.
The real kicker? Zero witnesses. Not caught on camera. No notoriety gain at all. Dunno how that worked out, since I ran past at least two dozen civvies with a gun out and didn't so much as wound them.
Death On the Mississippi is such a long level that it's tough to avoid at least part of it eventually becoming a bloodbath.
I wound up killing all but one of the targets you normally have to go to the top floor to kill when they ran around to respond to a firefight.
Blood Money is pretty much the one to play. People who don't think it's the best of the series are deluded.
I agree.
Way too many fun ways to kill people. I could play the birthday party and the wedding a million times and still never get tired of doing so. Even if I too often end up poisoning the food.

I don't normally poison the food because you can't do so without the body being discovered. Plus poisoning the wedding cake is kind of a dick move.
I remember struggling to find a way out to the graves to push pappy for a long time before I realised you can just shove him down the stairs.

Just outside in the corner near the house and grave, is a guard sitting on a chair. He gets up occasionally, juice him, stash him in the nearby container. Wait for Pappy by the grave, then just shove. Its my preferred way, since he goes on a rant about UFOs and clones.

i managed to poison the cake and hide the body, just barely
a nearby closet is perfect for corpse stashing, but there's a wedding attendant who pops in there often to take out the trash
i had to tranq him while the groom was staggering around from the poison, hide them both in there, and get out just as the priest rang the wedding bell

Oh man, I was trying to get to the sheik with the dna briefcase in which I had planted a bomb. Problem was, I was turned away by his bodyguards. I didn't want to go back up to disguise myself as the white supremacist, so I threw the case over the wall to where the sheik was and detonated it.

Wait, you can can bodies in closets too?
If you can....
This would have been so useful. I had a pile of bodies in the furnace in the steamship cause I didn't know I could hide them ><.
Speaking of that mission, it turned into a bloodbath at the end. I just got into a firefight to kill the rest of the gang. No one who saw me lived though.

usually, not for very long
but they're a good place to get someone out of the way for a few minutes, which is helpful if you're planning to sprint out of the level after putting them there
basically hiding bodies permanently is just a matter of finding places away from everyone's pathfinding, unless they're outdoors, in which case everyone seems to have heat vision and fearsome psychic powers that allow them to spot a single naked man half a mile away
Yeah, it won't come out in the newspaper as a body stashed, but you can technically hide a body anywhere. I tend to leave them in people's rooms on the ship, for example. I get the all-doors key from the server guy as he takes a piss, and I used to have it near-memorized to what rooms actually get visitors.
Hey, hey. I'm not a monster. I don't kill people willy nilly, I knock 'em out. It just happens to be the best place to hide their limp bodies is in an inferno. Is it my fault they and their clothing is flammable? Blame the devs, they made the environment.
Also, I like chucking the entire boat into the river. But I know we all do that. Also, crocodiles at the wedding. They shouldn't be firing at those gentle creatures.
Man, the ways you can do away with people just using pushing and railings is awesome. Why don't more games have a non-scripted push/railing set-up? More games need drag functions, too. Drag and drop functions. Drop meaning throw. Throw meaning off tall objects.
Edit: How does one put a strikeout line through text?
I am all about pushing the rednecks into the water at the wedding.
I am also all about shooting the crocodiles.
Circle of life, man. Circle of life. People die, crocodiles die too. Or are they alligators? Point is, they need to die too after they enjoy munching on humans.
Professional concerns are the only thing keeping me from pushing/chucking everyone into the water or killing every one of those reptiles.
I love the wedding level. My favorite runthrough involved disguising as the priest, heading out to the gazebo to hold the ceremony, then blowing up a mine back at the house to get every guest to turn around while I quickly grabbed the groom and threw him over the rail behind me into the waiting jaws of several gators. After several attempts, I actually got away with it without being caught.
Now, what they were thinking when they turned back to the ceremony and the groom was nowhere to be found, I don't know. I'm just an innocent man of God!
i like the way this game has people doing it differently.
the wedding level for me consists of strangling the dad while he watches tv and then sniping the groom, usually after the "I do" and the smooch (at least he got *some* action, right?).

This has to be one of the best things I've read so far in this thread, bravo man.
Absolute proof how Blood Money nailed the mechanics to allow you to get away with stuff like this cleanly.

Wait. You can shoot them? The crocs/gators? Do they react?
I love that level because I can carry a huge gun in plain sight and fire off into space and no one cares.
You can straight up shoot him in the head with an unsilenced weapon right after the ceremony. She doesn't give you up.
Isn't it hinted that the bride is the one that hired you? I know there is an article in the paper later on about a "mystery" woman from the South partying in Vegas with new money, and she looks just like the bride.

Yep. One of the (optional?) objectives in that mission is to leave the bride unharmed too, IIRC.
Also IIRC, the newspaper mentions the reason for the bride getting a ton of money as the father-in-law leaving behind an inheritance to the husband after he died; both father-in-law and husband are, of course, conveniently dead as a result of you killing them.

it's not optional, diana says during the briefing that killing the bride is out of the question

The objective in question explicitly states that she must be protected, that is, not harmed.
I played through most of this game waaaay back at a friend's, and now I'm tempted to play through it again tube-style once I get my FYP handed in. One interesting and bizarre sequence of events I ran into back when I was messing around in the Mardi Gras level (Murder of Crows I think).
I remember it mentioning in the briefing that the two lovebirds would go kinda apeshit if they found out you killed their partner. Curious to see what happened I killed off one of them (the sniper I think), took their costume then went off to find birdie number 2. When she saw me she just went crazy, pulled out an smg and started chasing after me. I ducked back into the crowd and she started firing wildly, killing people left and right in an effort to get to me. Funny thing was, no-one else seemed to notice or care as people around them started dropping dead. Eventually birdie runs out of ammo and just starts waving the gun around menacingly, at which point I shot her in the head. The police then noticed my reckless killing of a serial murderer and decided it was best to just shoot me dead. Shame really, I would have liked to see what the end newspaper would have made of the several hundred dead lying in the streets.
I haven't found any other mention of this on Google, although I guess you have to be looking to do something stupid to get this to happen. Has anyone else ever encountered this or was it just a bizarre glitch? It was on the 360 version if that makes a difference.

Having piles of clothes lying around completely ignored by guards is a bit immersion breaking

Steam Support is the worst. Seriously, the worst
Because the Mardi Gras level pissed me the hell off.
It's time for vengeance.

You really can't lose with it if you want a Hitman experience. It's easily my favorite of the series.

I can't wait to replay the missions.
I just did the mission you guys are talking about, I poisoned the cake ran into 3 guards while in a guest disguise had to shoot all of them sadly.
Then I just shot pappy from across the river with a silences gun.
Then I fucked it up and forgot my silverballer wasn't silenced. OOPS

Blood Money can be a bit annoying about it too, particularly regarding what constitutes a witness.
