Ask HMF anything

What, in you all’s opinions makes a good/interesting/fun contract? I’ve never made any myself, but want to try my hand at it, but I know the things I like might not be the most fun for other people.
For example, I like the stealthy puzzle aspects of the game and I hate time limits with a passion that burns hotter than a thousand suns, but I know some people like that stuff, so I’m really just wanting to know what you guys like in contracts?

There isn’t really a right or wrong answer to this. Different players like different contracts. But there’s this great contract creation guide by @Urben to start.

Then there’s this discussion where you might some answers.

For me it’s all about the contract itself. I don’t read the briefings. I like it if there isn’t too much waiting time for a target. Puzzle is always great. I don’t want to finish a contract on my first try. When I keep thinking about new routes or different ideas even after I’ve finished a contract, that’s the sign of a great contract.

A question to the german users!

Did you also find it funny that, when Diana and Grey said “Happy Hunting” to 47 it was translated with “Weidmannsheil”?

I mean, I know it is the average translation but couldn’t they just put a “Viel Glück” or something like that in the subtitles? For me, Weidmannsheil sounds like a hinter going out on deer hunting with his Dachshund and having beer afterwards with his hunting mates :sweat_smile:

Well, maybe 47 has beer afterwards with Grey and Diana, who knows :woman_shrugging: and maybe he also has a Dachshund.

What does hitmanforun think of Deus Ex? From what I’ve seen it plays a bit like hitman, is it any good?

I have not played it but I know some of our members speak highly of it. I just went to see if it has its own thread on the other video games topic; it does not, but it might have in the old forum.

Are there many people here on the forum that are still holding off until Hitman 3 releases on Steam to buy it? I just bought Hitman 2 on Steam and I’m curious about how many people are still playing it.

And actually, now that I think of it, is it possible to get the season 1 locations in Hitman 2 if I own the game on EGS? I know I can just transfer them into Hitman 3 but I would like to revisit the Hitman 2 versions.

Personally I choose to buy it from EGS, i’ll buy the majority of my games on Steam and will continue to do so. When it comes to Hitman I didn’t want to sit out a hole year to experience the game and I’m glad I didn’t. It hasn’t really changed munch in how I play and view the series, I don’t ponder on the fact that it’s a EGS exclusive anymore, it occupied my thoughts a lot pre-release.

Did Clemens say something about being able to switch menu music? I swear I heard him say something like that in the last IO Insider.

He said something like “Just cue your desired track and launch the game. Profit”

He was just joking with the chat about how that would be cool. Nothing about adding that to the game (yet?)

Additionally, do you have any interesting ideas for what the final location of each could look like? I have quite a wild idea for Wrath if it were in the Carpathian Mountains, the entire backdrop could be replaced with a fire-y, hellish landscape as the badly damaged train rushes down the tracks. It’s not gonna happen but I can dream :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
