The best outfit on the Christmas Party map, assuming you don't get caught on CCTV is
The photographer. Rear jacuzzi->door on the left, hard right, into the waterfall, strangle photographer and drag behind waterfall. The patrols past him are very sparse, so you even have time to wait for his body to glitch out on the ledge before you can drag him. That will let you access pretty much everything except for the playboys bedroom and MAYBE the security camera room, I didn't try. To get SA you'll probably need to leverage the photographer suit to get a high level bodyguard suit. Better than waiting for 4 minutes in an elevator shaft though. The photographer suit will at least allow you an SA-style kill on the senators son.
I got S.A. on this level quite easily. Run up to the elevator quickly, between the guard and the wall in order to avoid the camera. Get to the 1st floor, walk/jog on the outside past the jacuzzi towards the pool, and get in the door that's right there to the left.
No guards there, follow the corridor and get to the big red door, stop there and look through the keyhole, you will see the old guy and the "?" girl making out, wait for the guard to walk away from you, go in and follow him from behind. Old guy and "?" girl will leave, guard will stop at the top of the stairs, push him down, get his clothes. You now have full access.
Rest is easy, go up the stairs, kill playboy dude, shoot the dog (Well I did, you can add the sausage if you wish), get the tape, go back down to the bar, ask for the roofie, add it to the drink in the bar and wait for the waitress to take it to the jerk. Follow him to the grotto, watch him get it on with a chick through the keyhole, wait for him to get out, and he'll stand exactly at the same spot you pushed the guard off. Do the same, pull him all the way down and over the railing. Success!
Depends entirely on how long they slide down the stairs. If it's a short slide, they are just knocked out.

Yeah, pushing someone down the stairs is not a 100% for-sure kill. I've pushed plenty of folks down stairs only to find out they woke up when I walked away.
Man, the notoriety system is really pretty awesome, and I had paid little attention to it on Normal.
I love that its not so simple as "hey he saw you, you're fucked." It's smart enough that if he saw you, and you STALK HIM AND KILL HIM, no one will ever know. I had no idea how smart this game could be at times.
I also am getting a big kick out of playing through as a badass assassin. Not really going for the stealth, accident-looking kills, not hiding bodies -- but also not getting CAUGHT. I absolutely love shooting a dude with my silverballers, then quickly ducking into a side room, blasting a second guy in there, stealing his clothes, and then walking out to see everyone looking around for the killer of the first guy. I love the high body count with everyone just wondering what the hell is going on.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what level I can get the following secret achievemnt on?
Kill exactly 47 people on any mission?
I tried "New Life", and literally wiped out everyone on the entire level and was like 5 guys short.
And also - can you upgrade every weapon fully in one run? Going back through and getting my guns on a normal playthrough Ive already beaten, it never seems to save any new weapon upgrades I buy, and my money total is always exactly the same. I'm 2 upgrades away from finishing the Uzi, and I dont have the cash, and it seems like Im not earning money anymore...

My first thought would be Murder of Crows, although not the crowd in the streets that isn't really there. There're a lot of "real" people in the various bars and shops IIRC.
I downloaded the demo for this off Steam a couple of weeks back and the damn thing didn't even launch. I'm on Windows 7. Any suggestions?
so this was a while ago I know but did anyone ever find a solution for it? I'm having the same problem.
I had the same problem (and run Windows 7). Fixed it by copying a complete hitman.ini (I think that was the filename, else that or config.ini; it was definitely a .ini file in the main directory that held the game settings) from the internet into my local copy (which was much shorter). At a guess, there's a file permissions issue going on when Hitman tries to write in the correct configuration information for the first time.
If I wasn't at work I'd just throw my own up here, but you can easily enough find one through Google.
Although I still feel kinda cheap because I restarted the level 7 times just to figure out what the hell I should be doing. I do this for every level, right now I'm stumped on the Christmas Party level though, there doesn't seem to be a safe place to nap any disguises.
Here is what I do on that level:
Walk behind the guard to avoid the camera and get in the elevator. At the top, go inside the building and you should see a staircase with a sign that says Staff Only. Wait until it's clear (there's a guard that will come down) and go up, and then into the room on the right. If you time it right, an FBI agent will be on the balcony outside, where you can knock him out and take his suit, giving you full access to the level. His body will be fine out there. There's also a security room attached to that one if you were caught on camera.
And for Windows 7, it'll usually crash when I try to run it, but strangely enough if I keep trying it'll eventually start. Usually takes 3 or 4 tries.
damn this thread... just got bored and read most of the stuff here, if I ever put a dent in my backlog I'll have to pick this up too. grabbed the demo again to play around and see if I like it. have always been interested and played a little of the past games, but never just got one.
oh well, by the time I finish Batman Arkham, Red Faction, GTA4, Gears2, Halo Wars I'm guessing Hitman 5 will probably be out.
other than a Tube run, there any way to effectively sneak through levels and kill only your mark? Think I'd try and take the approach of kill nobody except for the intended target. Sure I'd have to knock out a bunch of people though to even have a chance of achieving that.
Just got the all weapons achievement and the secret one for
gettiNg a "special" title. I got Russian hare.
I have no idea if there are other ways to do it, but holy shit that was fun to get. I did it on New Life.
you had to kill all FBI agents via sniper and the target via sniper. So I stayed in the treehouse and picked them all off one at a time until there was a guy at the front door left. I hopped out of the treehouse, sniper rifle in plain sight, and badass walked to the corner. People were screaming and heading for the one remaining, oblivious FBI agent. I drew my rifle, zoomed and BAM. Right as a woman was reporting me, he falls. I then strut over and poison the donuts, and take out the 2 in the van that way (I guess not ALL of the FBI needs to be sniped.) I snag the tape and call the witness. I walk out of the van and people are going berserk with no one to tell. I line up my shot, and miss. Fuck. The witness runs into a closet and the house goes nuts.
The clown, pool boy, caterers, wife are all running and screaming. So I realize - NO ONE is coming to save them. I walk in right past everyone, fling open the closet door, and point blank, unscoped take out the final target. Everyone is going nuts and I remember - I need that microfilm.
So I stand in the living room while the chaos of scared cibvillians surrounds me. And I wait. Then the wife runs in, sees me, and the chase is on. I pull my sedative syringe, chase her to the stairs and pop her in the neck. She passes out, I grab the film and I exit the house.
As I leave the level i stopped. There was the cowering clown. How sad. A clown scared shitless. And even though, gameplay wise it meant nothing, I crouched next to the clown for a moment. And 47 said to him, eye level, inches from his face -
"You will never forget this."

I think I explained this earlier but here is my ultra-fast don't-need-to-change-suit SA guide
Bring a reasonably upgraded sniper rifle (scope is important) B-line straight for the left elevator, climb on top, wait for scientists, strangle, take his keycard, drop down grab jewel case, put it on top of the elevator with your rifle case. Go back to the lobby, talk to the receptionist to get your room key. At about this exact moment, the African dude is making his way towards the right elevator. Beat him to it, hop up top, strangle. If he gets there before you do, just stay there until he returns to go back to the lobby. Go back to the left elevator, get your rifle, take it to room, go out to the balcony, jump to the adjacent balcony (left), leave your rifle case there.
Now. Go to floor 8, head toward the scientists room, pull the fire alarm near his room, when the guards run by, sprint for his room, use his cell phone on his bedroom desk. Sprint back to the elevator (stop sprinting when the alarm stops or when you get to the elevator to avoid suspicion), go back to your room on floor 7, unpack your rifle on the adjacent balcony, headshot. Leave your rifle in your rooms ICA case, back to the left elevator, get your diamond case, hug the left wall down into the casino and out to the escape.
You can do all of this without changing suits or getting on camera, and basically in a full sprint, depending on your notoriety.
Ugh was SO CLOSE to beating Lifeline on expert. Had it PERFECT and made the dumbest mistake trying to push the guy into the pond. Was seconds away from beating it. So frusterated, but still so awesome.

First mission went perfect. Some how I had two witnesses in the Oprah mission so now I have 15 notoriety.
Flatline. Oh Flatline. I picked the locks and I think a guard saw me. 8 dead guards later and I've killed everyone who saw me. Didn't have any witnesses though!
I don't think sprinting ever causes suspicion in Blood Money, does it?
I find that it does, on pro, once a body has been found, and you have a bit of notoriety, walking past guards will creep your meter up, and I find that sprinting makes it worse.
That is no match for "oh look a body, I will look around in a 180 degree arc, pause briefly, exposing my head clearly and calmly, and THEN inform the authorities"

pushing anyone down stairs is an insta-kill and counts as an accident

Dude, I posted how to do this only one page back.
And for Windows 7, it'll usually crash when I try to run it, but strangely enough if I keep trying it'll eventually start. Usually takes 3 or 4 tries.
Steam Support is the worst. Seriously, the worst
Or run it as admin, or just install it to something other than program files in the first place.
oh well, by the time I finish Batman Arkham, Red Faction, GTA4, Gears2, Halo Wars I'm guessing Hitman 5 will probably be out.

I kinda just murdered everyone in the final couple levels cause I just wanted to start my Tube run.
What are your guys tips for House of Cards onwards? I couldn't figure them out.

Expert has got to be the minimum difficulty whereupon anything can be considered impressive.
Once you hit 80 notoriety and onward, guards and cops should flee as soon as they recognize you. "Oh god, that bald killer! He hates rent-a-cops!"
