You bastard! I just managed to do the suburbia quest with only the target killed and an accident as well, I was hoping to beat you to it. Hence the screenshot name. Anyway, here's how I did it:

spoiler?

Put my silverballer in one of the catering crates to smuggle it in. Waited near the clown's car until he came out, then smacked him over the head when he was getting something from it. Stole his suit, hid his body in the car.

Walk in past the security (silverballer not on me), went outside and sedated the FBI guy in the garden. Took his suit. Waited for the pool boy to come near the body and then smacked him over the head behind the tool shed. Then I dragged both the FBi fella and the poolboy into the shed.

Follow the lady in, sedate her in pretty much the same place as you Satis, except she wasn't IN the pool and still died. Damn clipping crap. Hid her body in the sauna. Then I just followed the Mobster and his bodyguard upstairs as he went to check his pc, and jammed a lethal injection in his neck. I even forgot to retrieve my silverballer. Run out, escape, done! Turns out I did have two witnesses...must be because of the smacking over the head thing. Ah well, better luck next time. I already figured out a way to get it done with no witnesses and only one kill, but then so did you. Screenie!

Another screenie from the Redneck Wedding mission...I managed to kill nothing but the two targets. Didn't even change outfit. It was the smoothest kill ever...got a 'professional' rating. Top that! (playing on expert btw)

haha..good stuff. I may have to vid that one now. :p

I made a vid of the paddleboat level. More just the killing parts, and I went all out... I got the urge to do alot of knife kills. I got a rating I've never had before, too.... ARMED MADMAN!

hehe.

btw, there's a spoiler bbcode I added.

[spoiler]see?[/spoiler]

hehe...beat ya! :p Attaching pics...I'll attach a video in a bit.

ok, video coming up. As I failed to mention it, all these are done on expert as well. Normal is too freakin' easy. And Pro's too freakin hard. :p

You guys dont play on pro?

Pro it's about impossible to screw up. In expert, if you're quick, you can shoot someone in the face if they saw something they weren't supposed to, before they get a chance to raise the alarm. In pro, they immediately shoot you and you typically die. No room for screwups at all. A single shotgun blast will do ya in. Plus no saves.

Yeah, pro is ghey. There's hard and there's frustratingly hard. I don't like the latter.

Anyway, been playing some more. Satis is a whore for doing the redneck wedding without firing a shot. But I did the suburbia mission today...with only one kill and no accidents. Dunno where or how the witnesses came from tho.

Also, the casino one with the three targets dead...and one bodyguard. If the guard has moved a little to the left he wouldn't have been caught in the blast and it would have been a clean mission...targets dead, no witnesses, no shooting, stole the video tape. Got a 'Specialist' rating.

hehe...I take it on the casino you put a bomb in the dna suitcase? That's one of the better ways of doing it. I'm still trying to figure out the "right" way of doing it. Getting access to floor 8 is problematic, unfortuanetly. If I could figure out some way to do that without killing someone I'm not supposed to, i'd be golden.

How'd you managed suburbia without any accidents? Just drug the chick a safe distance away from the pool? :p

oh, forgot to mention, I managed to beat the vineyard and opera missions on the hardest levels. OMG, what a pain in the butt.

Yeah, I rigged the DNA case, good fun. As for getting access to the 8th floor...

[spoiler]the chemist and the white suprematist arrive before the Sheik, as you probably know. They enter the elevators with a reasonable amount of time between them, so I just climbed into the elevator hatch both times and strangled them from above. The perk about that is that you drag their bodies on top of the elevator....so the bodies are safe, you can change outfits safely and you can recover the payment and DNA briefcase easily. Wearing the nazi's outfit you can walk into the sheik's little place and bomb him to pieces. [/spoiler]

There should be a way involving sniping, however. The balconies are just the perfect opportunity. But I have yet to find it.

@ Suburbia: I took out the clown and stole his suit again, passed security, walked towards the pool. There the trophy wife told me that she 'needed a laugh...and something else a lot more' and to follow her. Being a (hit)man I complied and followed her inside. She told the guards to 'lay off the clown' and she led me into a non-patrolled room where I sedated her.

Using a bit of timing between guard positions I managed to sneak upstairs in the clown suit and get into Sinistra's pc room. There I hid behind the door and waited for him to come in and injected the poison.

An alternative way of sedating the wife is by spiking her drink near the pool with sedative, I reckon. I don't think it would blow your cover if she were to pass out in front of the security...and you should be able to get her necklace.

I'm off to try the heaven and hell level. Gonna be a total bitch.

Did the heaven and hell level! No shots fired, no witnesses, not caught on tape, only killed the 4 targets. Silent Assassin!

Good job on the heaven and hell level! That's quite a bit of work. How'd you manage to avoid the cameras?

As for a better way to kill the sheik...

[spoiler]I didn't know you could pull them up into the elevator...that's cool a s shit. Now that I know that.... I was thinking of going to the 8th floor...set off the fire alarm so everyone runs out of the rooms. Go in the room next to the target room and jump balconies. In the 8th floor target room, there's a cellphone. IF you hit it, after a couple minutes the sheikh will go out on a patio way below you. With a sniper rifle, you could totally pop him in the head from any balcony on that side of the hotel.[/spoiler]

So THAT'S what the cell phone in that room is for. I always hit it and it showed me a cut scene of the sheik answering it, but he didn't seem to do much else but sit there...so I kinda ignored it. Thanks for the tip, hehe.

As for the heaven and hell level...the beginning is hard, but as soon you get hold of a heaven guard suit it's pretty easy. And I did get caught on tape but I stole the security tape, sorry for the confusion. I'm not THAT good, hehehe. I loved the level though...very atmospheric. And once you manage to whack the FBI agent gone bad and steal his suit you're in the safe zone. The guy seems to get access to pretty much every corner of the entire building, and because you are wearing a mask suspicion is zero. I took him out in the elevator, posing as a heaven guard.

Then I went to the huge office to retrieve the information, and while I was doing that one of the two assassins (the girl) walks in and attacks me with a stiletto. I disarmed and gutted her with her own weapon. Then I went down to the hell level and rigged the fireworks as the other main target was directing them ('accident')...and last but not least I went up to the other assassin (the dude) and challenged him to the duel thing. I could have shot him, but I preferred a lethal injection. After that the only problem was retrieving the security tape from the guard booth out front...it's the only place my suit didn't help me. So I used the coin trick and quickly snatched the tape before the guard got back in.

There you go. Happy to say I only had to sedate one fella, a heaven guard. It did involve a bit of sneaking (in my 'normal' suit) past guards in the first part of the game, but meh.

I just tried the white house level and I managed to only kill the vice and the assassin, but I did have 3 witnesses (wtf?) and got caught on tape. I couldn't figure out where the tape recorder was at...any idea?

Attached a pic, just cos it's cool.

the tape is in the security office at the beginning of the level, by the museum. Assuming you can walk in there without attracting suspicion, it's real easy to snatch the tape. It's right next to an open window.

White house level to me is pretty easy.

[spoiler]
Bring the sniper rifle and nothing else. Walk in, go into the bathroom. An employee walks in regularly to piss... sedate, put on his clothes, drag him into a corner. Walk into the security office and snatch the video tape and keycard off the table.

Get up on the roof of the walkway and climb up the scaffolding. Wait for the carpenters to be blissfully unaware of your presence and sneak in. Avoiding them is a bit rough, but doable. Head along the rooms until you get to the other side with the open window. There's a carpenter outfit there...you can swap to it. Whip out the sniper rifle...the VP walks his dog in the area below. Pop him in the head, put away the rifle, climb down.

If you're lucky, you can snatch his whitehouse badge. Someone always opens the door up top too to look around...I think you can walk through with him to get in. The rest is easy...just set off the assassin chase, follow the guy to the roof, pop him with the sniper rifle, then walk out the front door (after grabbing your suit).[/spoiler]

Coolio, I didn't know about the carpenter suit. I got the guy in the toilet too, but then I took out some marine and used my second sedative on him...and I still had a janitor to steal a suit from (I hit that one over the head but that's a witness ). Doing it your way I can use my two sedatives and still kill my two targets without firing a shot. Yihaaw.

(there's a secret service suit lying somewhere in the west wing, you probably knew that). Thanks for the video tape tip...I would have sworn I checked that room. But wouldn't be the first time I missed the really obvious.

@ the rifle case...have you seen what happens when you try to smuggle in the silverballer? really funny.

[spoiler]you can stash it in one of the other tourists' suitcases outside, have her arrested as she goes through the metal detector and the suitcase taken in custody, then you can pick it up later when you've got a museum staff outfit.[/spoiler]

attached a vid of the process for laughs.

lol, yea, I've done that. For some more laughs, try putting an AP mine in her suitcase, then detonating it (from a hidden vantage, of course). Great mayhem.
