Question: when you guys do the classics, do you even bother w/casual mode? I've never done these before, and I can't believe that you have to do casual if, for example, you already do it on professional. Does it "count", or do you have to actually do it on casual to get credit for it?

Is there a way to remove escalations from the home screen?

I don't want to do any in the Isle of Sgail. I hate that map.

when you complete a challenge on one of the higher difficulties, it also completes the same challenge on the lower difficulties. if you complete a challenge on Master, it will also give you credit for Professional and Casual. so no, you don't have to worry about Casual

Thanks, @daze23. (And thank God.)

Question: what was the worst challenge you had to complete? I nearly fell asleep in Marrakesh when I had to shave 15 customers. Even worse, there's a bug in that challenge where you can get stuck at 14. I was able to get around it by throwing coins until someone finally came up and I mashed the X button (offer shave) like my life depended on it. Also, anything w/sniping is a pain in the ass for me. I'm just not that good at it.

Question: what is your favorite city (that's not Whittleton Creek?) Your least favorite? I don't have a favorite city so far, but I HATE Paris w/a passion b/c of that fukking music. I always turn the music off in the options menu anyway, so to not be able to turn that techno music off drives me nuts.

(The reason why I'm asking so many questions is b/c I played a bootleg version of H1, meaning that I could only play offline. Playing offline means you can't play any of the challenges, so a lot of this is new to me, even though I beat H1 ages ago.)

some of the Suit Only / Silent Assassin challenges on Master are pretty annoying. the 'Suit Only' part makes it pretty difficult if you have to spend a lot of time in an area where you don't belong

So far I think killing 4 targets no bodies, no subduing, with shotgun dressed as food vendor in Miami.

But I wanted that gun

If it ain't master it don't count

We can't all be aces like you, @Mowgli.



And some of those missions are just too damn long to have to start all over again. I'm getting used to it and all, but DAMN. You better use that one save verrrry carefully. Escalation contracts are good practice for those.

Sniper Assassin maps are just killing me. KILLING me, brehs. What's the fun of environmental kills when the alarms are just gonna go off any damn way? Why are we being evacuated over a damn electrocution? All I can do (after picking off about 1/2 of the bodyguards) is just shockwave some shyt and pray nobody else gets hurt. I haven't even left Himmelstein.

I haven't done sniper assasin yet. Just finished all the escalations and feats/achievements for Miami minus the stupid pigeon and all costumes

Just moved onto Colombia. I am a silent assasin after Mastering Miami.

This month's ET forbids the use of explosives. What will @Mowgli do w/o his precious rubber duckie...?

He's going to have use poison or a gun or an electrocution device.

I'm kinda getting tired of the legacy maps. I want an elusive target in Mumbai.

No rubber ducky ?

O they tryna fukk me

But really I could merk their hardest target with a pair of scissors, trust me.

True Skill .

This month is a real motherfukker. It has to look like a non-explosive accident. No explosions, no fiber wire, no headshots...oh, and you have to find some fukking intel shyt, too. Just when I was starting to get my shyt together...

Nope. Gotta look like a non-explosive accident. Don't think that a gunshot suffices. Not sure about poison, either - which REALLY takes me out. My lethal syringe is like @Mowgli's rubber duckie. At least it's in Colorado - we probably all have mastery level there.

Looks like poison DOES count as an accidental kill, at least for ETs.

Trash

All that means is they're going to have him walk directly into some shyt that u can use to kill him

The hardest part will be finding that bullshyt Intel.

But rubber ducky may still make a guest appearance against those punknass guards

 

[Maxine Shaw]

Fastest way to do it:

Spoiler

Get in the house (there's a disguise on a truck - get dress and out *very* fast and you won't get caught). Wait until the ET stands up, inject him w/lethal poison, and get the fukk OUTTA THERE. There's an exit that's only about 45 yards away. The files are in the room w/the hackers on the laptop.

Just remember to be EXTRA careful with your timing. Once you get one of the two objectives, you can't restart.

Question: is it just me, or can you get all the accomplishments on casual? I don't see where there's a difference in points, but I could be wrong.
