I did, I just thought it was garbage, so I gave up on it after a few missions.

This one is a bit more obscure in that department (you're unlikely to run into them in a run that isn't some speed/challenge run), and the glitches work mostly in player's favor (you can enter the compound in your suit through the front gate and even go up the ladder that leads to biker leader's room, in blatant view of a guard that's slow on the uptake), but I've had occurances of civilians seeing me through walls and blowing my disguise, and the guard that guards the overworld doors (you have to go down little stairs) to the basement seems to have eyes at the back of his head.
Levels like Hunter and Hunted, Bjarkhov Bomb and Traditions of the Trade, even the simpleton Slaying a Dragon feature entire galleries of such bugs.

47 didn't actually kill Diana, proceeded to take out the 'corrupt' members of the ICA and reinstate Diana back in her original role at ICA thus making the entire plot come full circle and essentially going nowhere.
There is a reason why when the devs say this takes place after Absolution they also specify that it's completely stand alone too. Absolution has a shit storyline that thankfully can be completely ignored.

Yes. The last Hitman sucked but to be fair that was when everyone was dumbing down games to make them "more accessible".
And were totally past that, right.........

No, but they wouldn't be the first developer to admit it was a mistake

Got only Contracts on my computer right now, but I got you an example to the contrary.
However, this is a bit of a bad example because it's notoriously difficult to actually get a SWAT disguise in this mission. The only way to get the disguise without an alarm is to glitch, because each SWAT is wired to some of his compatriots via some mental link. This means that when you turn off the light in the building in Hunter and Hunted, you can bump into the SWAT all you like, but you aren't allowed to kill one (you can't use Syringe on the SWAT members, so the only way to go is Fiber Wire or a bullet to the head), the rest of the SWAT in a group instantly swarm you. The only way to prevent this from happening is to glitch them into a "confused" state - most NPCs, when silenced weapons are fired at their feet, either run away or go into the aforementioned state, or both, but the SWAT don't behave like normal NPCs, and the only way to do that is to turn off the light in the building with a very precise timing or have them get shot by their own SWAT compatriots while they don't see you. When this happens, you can strangle them and their friends don't notice. SWAT also do not trigger "Body found" alerts. With that in mind, I replicated the method by using Invisible mode, took the disguise, then walked away from the scene and turned the cheat off.

Well, the "mental link" is actually probably just radio. Also, this is the only mission in Contracts in which I never managed to pull off silent assassin on pro, hehe. Still, one of my favorite missions in this game.
I should try the silenced weapon trick, good find. Any other interesting stuff you found?

Just check the rest of my channel if you can stomach the pixels. This illustrates how you can make use of silenced weapon trick.

Nice, will check it out
Also known as Hitmiss.
Music in the teaser is fucking awesome. One of the highlights about the series, it always nailed ambient music.

That's a big thank you to Jesper Kyd. I hope he is returning for this one, Absolution could have been a tad less crap with his score.
Glad I only paid $5 for that game. Why do the best devs always feel the need to fix what isn't broken.

Because Eidos got gobbled up by squenix, and io was forced to adhere to new publisher feedback.

Okay, there's some encouraging stuff here regarding the structure. It does sound like the one-off hits won't be story missions which was my biggest worry, as long as those levels aren't used exclusively for these timed challenges.
There's also an AMA from someone who played the game.
