I really like Chongqing and I think it would have desreved to advance(especially taking into consideration inferior missions like Colorado or Santa Fortuna advanced).
However,one mission(except Romania obviously) must be eliminated and Chongqing is by far my least favourite from the list.
I had high,HIGH expectations and I thought it would be one of my favourite mpas.The focus on the city aspect looked so interesting in the trailer and I expected this mission to be a smaller(but still big in size) Mumbai,but wow,I was wrong.
Whenever I play this level everthing feels so dull.The neon lights look awesome for sure and the music is great,but is that enough to give the level a memorable and interesting atmosphere?For me,no.What’s the point in having a city level when the people are missing form it?The streets feel completely lifeless and despite the nice visuals and the rain,it makes me feel not impressed by the setting at all…The few public areas you are allowed to access(restaurant,laundry,appartments) are small and there is almost nothing interesting about them.Why did they have to set this mission at 3 am?
With such a small number of accessable public areas,what potential does this level even offer outside of the main mission?:neutral_face:
Hush’ fortress is pretty small and because of that its verticality isn’t that good and I have seen far better fortresses in other levels tbh.
The only things which save the level for me are the ICA facility(I really like the security tiers and the vents) and the rooftops(the way they connect the different areas of the map is really nice).However,even though these two aspects make me like the level a lot,they are not enough to make me like this level as much as the other levels.:pensive:

I didn’t use to like Mendoza that much at the beginning either,but it started growing on me once I became familiar with the map’s structure :wink:

Mendoza is a bit more difficult to digest compared to the other levels imo because it is the biggest map of Hitman 3.On my first playthroughs of that level,being used to the smaller and more compact nature of the other levels,I didn’t really feel its charm,but the more I play it, the more I love it.
That’s especially true for Tamara.I wasn’t a fan of her highly public route but exploring the level more I found plenty of ways to kill her in accidents or ways to isolate her and I saw other players come up with some of the most creative strategies in the whole triology to kill her as well.:slightly_smiling_face:

ILikeHitman didn’t take my post into account. Dartmoor should be at 19, Chongqing should be at the heartbreakingly low 13.

Considering the few number of missions, it’d be a very interesting heat.

This was one of the numerous reasons, I was trying to type and post as fast I could as you were also typing :joy: Anyway the points @Silvereyes mentioned about Dubai make me think s/he is reading my mind, think of those as my reasons :wink:

Tough call for me and my opinion may swing as we proceed but I think I slightly prefer End of an Era to Death in the Family. I had no expectations for Chongqing going in like a lot of people did, so I wasn’t as disappointed as a lot of people seem to be. Great atmosphere, both in terms of weather and setting, and in terms of the story’s mood.

Yeah, H3 really has a disadvantage of being new and not having enough missions to compete, so at least one worthy will sadly have to go. Hopefully we’ll get some proper bonus missions in the next 2 years to do a re-run… :frowning:

As much as I love Untouchable for its uniqueness, I don’t thinks it’s better than Chongqing. At least it doesn’t have that replayability.
