I got to see many of those changes in action during my hands-on session with Hitman 2, where I was infiltrating a massive car race in Miami. On top of that, we've added way more elaborate AI systems. Last but not least, a fan favorite, we brought back the sniper briefcase. We are also introducing picture-in-picture, which helps give you the context you need when working on your missions. You can now blend into crowds, which has much greater fidelity at this point. It is definitely still the Hitman that you love, but we have listened to the community and have added some substantial new features. Get them to fall into the bushes and nobody will discover the body. You'll be more handsomely rewarded if you can keep things nice and quiet so, as an example, you might try to take out a target when they are alone and on a balcony that has a bunch of bushes below it. What's really unique about this mode is that you're still trying to remain undetected, even if you're not swapping costumes and taking out baddies up close and personal. With a friend in tow, it becomes easier to keep track of multiple targets, coordinate shots and even control the mayhem if things go south. Several targets and guards are located in the crowd and, in Sniper Assassin, its Agent 47's job to take them out within a 15-minute timeframe. That mission takes place overlooking a massive mansion that just so happens to be hosting a wedding.

Playing with a friend adds a completely different layer to the game and, if you pre-order the game now, you gain access to one of those missions immediately. Sniper Assassin is our brand new game mode and, with it, we are introducing a franchise first of co-op with a friend. Right out of the gate, Friedl was excited to talk about the new game mode in Hitman 2, called Sniper Assassin.
