BRIEF INTRODUCTION
==================

The is a sequel to the fame Hitman Codename 47. The same old Mr. Tobias Reiper (his travel name) will bring us into his dark world of silent killings. Well this sequel is the continuation of the first game but if you miss the first game, you can just enjoy Hitman 2 as much as the first one.

The Hitman 2 has improved a lot from the old interface, skills, and alot more minor details both in gameplay & graphics. The weapons fire power is much more powerful than the first game. Just checkout the double ballers which is Mr. 47 trademark weapons for this sequel. It packs a whole lot more punch than the good old AMT 1911 'Hardballer'. The inverse kinematics is still the same as the first game. Different targeting will result in different 'poses of dead'.

Hitman 2 has a new scoring system which will determine whether you are a born assassin or not. Try not to be trigger happy, a civilian killer or just plain noisy killer. Try to take out the intended target without much commotion.
Remember stealth is the way to complete this game with top marks.

============
CONTROLS
============

Basically the general guide for controls is included in the game in .pdf format. This means that you will need Acrobat Reader to read it. You can also configure your own set of keys. For me, i use the numpad + the mouse. A small tip for you guys is try to set your normal turn left, right keys into strafe left and right. You may wonder how to turn. Using the mouse to turn is much faster than using the keys. Trust me on this one.

During the game, you may have just kill someone and try to take his items or just to pick up a particular item among the items. Do the following to pick up weapons, items, drag and many more:

- Hold the action when you have either the drag, pick weapons or pick item command at the top left side of the screen.

- After you have hold the action button, scroll through the list if there are more than one command/items using the move forward & move backward buttons.

- Just highlight the command you want and then let go of the action button for it to execute that command.

You have to practice using the action button for the commands as in certain situations, you are not given any amount of time to search the body and then stash it somewhere hidden from prying eyes. So in such cases, you have to choose the drag command first, hide the body and then search it to your heart's content.

===========
DISPLAY
===========

The display of Hitman 2 is very easy to understand. At the top left is your health gauge which shows the health bar. Below it is the 'Spook meter' or known as the threat meter a newly included feature for Hitman 2. It is to determine whether the surrounding guards or characters suspect Mr.47 or not.

- The longer the moving bar, the more suspicious Mr.47 is. (The bar is black in color in this stage).

- When the moving bar is red in color, you are the prime suspect and probably the guards are looking for Mr.47.

- To lower the threat meter, hide Mr.47 in a secluded spot and wait for the meter to go down and hope that once you are out of your hidding place, the guards will not remember your face.

Just below the threat meter, is the compass(Yes!!! No need to buy the compass).

Now for the top right. It shows the weapon that you have chosen to use. If no weapons are selected, it will be blank in this area of the screen. You can either open the inventory and select the weapon or item you want and then left clicked the mouse to equip it. For weapons, you can also press the default 1-7 for weapons to lockpicks. Just to the right of the selected weapon, there is a 'spare ammo' area where all the spare ammo is shown. Below the spare ammo area, is the current ammo for the selected weapon.

There is a cursor at the center of the screen for you to take aim at something or someone.

Messages will be shown at the bottom left of the screen from hints to warnings.

HINTS
=========

--Nobody's perfect so play the scenario once to get the hang of the surroundings.

--Pickup any weapons, ammos and other items you came across.

--This one for the one's above. Try not to take every items as some are found at highly guarded place.

--Do not share your enjoyment of carrying a weapon with others(don't take it out when needed). This rule applies after picking up a weapon.

--Rifles to bigger weapons cannot be hide under the suit so carry discreetly.

--For the one above, check whether the weapon you pickup can be kept under wraps by pressing the holster key.

--Wire is for the feel of being a hitman and knife is for the feel of being a killer(swift).

--Always sneak behind when approaching a unknowing target.

--Make sure nobody will run into your little throat slitting operation.

--For the one above. Choose your weapon of choice before hand.

--Use NVG if you think it is getting dark.

--Take note of the surface you are walking/running on. Some produce far more noise than others.

--Grab a disguise if possible when you are certain that you are out of place in enemy infested areas.

--Bring a silenced weapon when given the chance.

--Try to kill with minimal sounds so as not to alert the guards. You are a professional hitman. Not Rambo! Need not takeout every guards.

--Try not to kill civilians as they will included at the rating screen. Same for cops.

--Watch patrolling guards to gain knowledge of their paths.

--Certain characters can only access certain place like delivery boy to the kitchen. If you are out of place, you will be more suspicious and more prone to attacks.

--Try to keep away from other characters should you change into their clothes.
E.g guards. These characters will somehow recognize their comrades up close.
And this will give you away even if you are temporary one of them.

--Do not cause too much noise including running in guards infested area. It will attract much attention.

--Takeout lamps or lights to increase the amount of shadows for concealment.

--Use your map offen so as not to get lost. You can trust most of the maps.

--Use the map to gain knowledge of the patrolling area and routes the guards take.

--Use the map to checkout if the direction your target is facing before planning appropriate action(for use if target is in the adjacent room).

--Need not hide every corpse if not given time to do so. Instead just try not to be at the scene of crime. So as not to raise any alarm.

--Should you know that you need to restart the game, try to explore the place further so as to know the number & placing of guards. This is ensure that you know something further up in the game so as to take the required precaution and proceed faster in the game the next time you restart.

--Go for one shot one kill rule so as not to waste ammo & time(for the next kill or escape). Aim for the neck onwards and up. May not applied if you have shotgun.

--Never touched the dead when there are guards nearby. This will aroused their suspicion.

--Try to collect as many weapons as possible for use at the next mission.

--Always holsters your big weapons. E.g the SVD sniper when holstered looks no less than a AK provided that the enemy does not take a closer look.

--Do not run or do anything silly in front of cameras.

--Stay or keep a distance from the guards as they are paranoid having somebody snooping behind them.

--Civilians are more alert than the guards on some missions so don't try anything funny in front of them.

--Hold down the fire button when you are equipped with the wire to prepare it for a faster kill. This cut down lag time when you want to kill a target till the very last minute.
