Trivia :
- The game's main villain, Russian arms dealer Sergei Zavorotko, bears a remarkable resemblance to a character in Arnold Schwarzenegger's Eraser movie that introduced us to the joys of railguns.That character, also named Sergei, was also a Russian arms dealer and a secondary villain who showed up at the end of the film. Both he and the Sergei from Hitman have surprisingly similar appearances. Both have shoulder length hair, a thick moustache, and both wear wool turtlenecks under a red leather coat.
The Sergei from Hitman is balding on top, while the Sergei from Eraser isn't, but otherwise the two characters look almost exactly the same. It's possible the character design for the Hitman Sergei was inspired by the character from the Eraser movie. In the Shogun Showdown mission, there's a big security workstation on the castle's 3rd floor that monitors the entire stage. On its main screen however, you can see a screenshot of IO's upcoming (at the time anyway) Freedom Fighters! Though if you look carefully (use 1st person view = F1) you can see a few changes in the interface, such as a radar screen added next to the health bars.
On the Hitman 2 CD, you will find some goodies: The hitman 3D Studio Max model, some early screenshots of the game, which are quite humourus, and some wallpapers.
- Do you know the cool tv-ads for Hitman? They are made by the Hitman-developers, not by an agency...
Create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "hitman2.ini" file in the game folder. Add the line "EnableCheats 1" (case-sensitive) to the bottom of the file. Type one of the following case-sensitive codes during game play to activate the corresponding cheat function.
Note: Do not type the codes too quickly or they will not be recognized.
Alternately, press ~ during game play, then press [Tab] to scroll through the commands. Many core game commands that are useless to the player will appear, but other commands such as God mode and invisibility are included.

Hint: Silent Assassin ranks:
You can still get a "Silent Assassin" rank on a mission if you are spotted. To get a "Silent Assassin" rank, there has to be nothing in the aggression bar. You can make sure of this by only using chloroform on guards and eliminating the target with just one shot.
Start the level by running into the city and move in a general direction to the left until you reach a building. On your map, this is the bottom right building with a silver icon. Go in there and a man will talk to you. After that, walk up behind him (there is no need to sneak), and use some Anesthetic on him. Take his clothes then get out of the building. Then, go to your map. Note: This is very hard to describe in detail because the position of the agent is different each time. Look for the small red weapon pick-up icon. Go in, and a man sitting at a chair will fire two shots in the air, but no one will be alerted. After the intermission sequence, look at your map and find the yellow icon that is stationary (another one will be moving). The stationary icon will be somewhere in one of the two main plaza areas. Wherever the stationary icon is, go into the storage thing under it, and go up the stairs. Sneak up on the man at the window and Fiber Wire him. Take his Sniper Rifle, and take out the other yellow icon. Then, take pictures of the two dead men. Take the pictures back to the agent, and follow your map to the exit.
Hint: Gontranno Sanctuary: Flying scarecrow:
Equip a Fiber Wire and stand slightly to the right of the scarecrow. Double lean to the left and strangle it. If this does not work or you strangle it normally, walk slightly to the left or right of it.
Hint: Hidden Valley: Easy Silent Assassin rank:
When you start the level, stay in the shadows of the trees to avoid being spotted by the sniper. This may require a few attempts. When you see the tunnel, run towards it. Run along it towards the Agency pick-up. When get near the end of the tunnel, crouch and take out your Anesthetic. Look at your map and wait for guard patrolling there to walk away from you. Follow him. When he stops, use the Anesthetic on him. Make sure to use all five bottles. Then, take his clothes and pick up his gun. Save the game at this point. Note: In this level you do not have to complete your objective. Look at your map to see where the exit sign is located. Run when you can, but when you are near snipers walk. Try to stay far away from guards as they will check your I.D. and begin shooting at you. When you come near the exit again, stay as close to the mountains as possible and run. You will be able to complete the level with a Silent Assassin rank.
Hint: Invitation To A Party: Getting the Sniper Rifle:
If you want to pick up the Sniper Rifle and the suitcase at the same time, holster any weapons you may be carrying and pick up the suitcase. It should be in your left hand. Then, pick up the rifle and you will drop the suitcase on the ground. Take out you 9mm SD and the rifle should go into your left hand. Holster you 9mm SD, then pick up the suitcase. You now have the suitcase in your left hand, and have shifted the rifle to your right. You can even use the rifle with one hand.
Hint: Invitation To A Party: Saving the Ambassador:
Go inside the mansion and into the ballroom. Find the tall agent that is by himself next to the piano. Wait until the Ambassador (as shown in the photo) enters the room to talk to the agent about the briefcase inside the safe. After they are done talking, they will exit the ballroom and the Ambassador will escort the agent to the room with the safe. Follow them, but do not get too close. They will enter the room with the safe and will talk to each other before the Ambassador opens it. Go inside the room next to the room that they are in without looking suspicious. Look inside the keyhole in the room that you are in, and you can see the agent pointing a .54 pistol at the Ambassador to kill him. Open the door and wait until the Ambassador opens the safe. This is your chance to take out the agent silently. Take the briefcase inside the safe and exit the room. The Ambassador will be directly in front of the table, very scared.
Hint: Redemption at Gontranno: Defeating Sergei:
After you have killed all of the bodyguards, get a sniper rifle. Go into the confession booth and wait for the Sergei to appear. When he begins to come out, run across the church and hide behind the cross. When Sergei is in front of you on the second level, fire one shot to the head. Note: If you are in stealth mode when you open a door, no one will hear you.
In order to fight the Boss, you have to eliminate all of the hitmen. This will make the Boss battle much easier. When you have killed all of the hitmen, enter the confession room on the left. This is the one that you pray in during the first level's loading screen. The priest will be in the confession room directly next to you, being held captive by the Russian general. The only way to get the general out is to crouch down and shoot a bullet at the heart on the confession booth's inside wall. A short intermission will start and the general will come out, firing an SP12. Use any automatic rifle and fire, making sure every bullet connects. Make sure you have the full amount of ammunition equipped in the gun. He should die within a few seconds.
After you have killed all of Sergei's bodyguards, return to the gun collection place. Select your M60 and full ammunition. Reload the gun and about five shots from it should kill Sergei.Hint: Secret Valley: Easy Silent Assassin rank:
A sniper rifle is required for this trick At the Tracking Hayamoto level, add a sniper rifle to your inventory. When you complete that level, you will have the sniper rifle with you at the start of the Secret Valley level. When the level starts, take out the sniper covering the entrance to the tunnel with your sniper rifle. Wait until a cargo truck arrives. Look at your map and make sure that all of the men guarding the entrance are looking towards the alley before getting inside the back of the truck. Duck and wait until the truck stops. Get out of the truck and save the game at this point. Run until you reach the location where three guards are patrolling the way, up and down. Hide behind a pillar in the middle of the way and wait until the guard in front of you turns around and begins patrolling downwards. The guards are patrolling in a zigzag pattern. Do the same thing without getting spotted by the guard patrolling upwards. You will probably get spotted a few times before managing to do this successfully. Save the game after you have passed the guards and reach a safe location. Look at the map to see four guards blocking the way. Wait until a truck to arrive, but do not jump into it. The guards will check the truck and they will spot you if you hide inside it. Instead, wait until the truck reaches the guards, and they start to check it. Walk on the right side of the road and sneak by the guards while they are checking the truck. Save the game after you have passed the guards. Afterwards, you will reach a place with three guards patrolling up and down again. Use the same trick done previously and save the game afterwards. Look at your map to see many guards blocking the way out. Move towards the ladder at the upper corner at the map. Be careful, as a guard is patrolling the place. Do not kill or knock out the guard. Get past the guard and go up the ladder. Watch out for the sniper and avoid him at all costs by running towards the trees directly in front of you. Afterwards, just run to the exit and you will have completed the level with a Silent Assassin rank.
Hint: St. Petersburg Revisited: Easy completion:
As the level starts, get to the lockers and get the sniper rifle. The rounds for the sniper rifle are nto live rounds and you will not be able to take anybody out with it. Drop the sniper rifle -- this only leaves you the Fiber-Wire to complete the level. Get upstairs and enter the door leading to the sewers. Move throw the sewers and climb up the ladder which led you to the side of the parked truck when playing the St. Petersburg Stakeout level. As you approach Sergei's place, a sniper will attack you. Stand behind a wall and save the game, then quickly cross the street towards the building. Enter through the main door. Enter sneak mode before opening the door. Remain in sneak mode and go upstairs. Turn right and open the door. The sniper should be directly in front of you. Sneak up behind him and finish him off with the Fiber-wire. After the intermission sequence ends, get the sniper rifle lying beside the dead sniper. Run down and exit through the main door. Run back all the way towards the sewers. Do not stop as the Russian Mafia is chasing you. When you reach the ladder leading to the sewers, climb down and run towards the exit. Note: Some Russian Mafia guards are in the sewers. Just ignore them and run past.
Hint: More ammunition:
If you are near a stack of ammunition but are notified by the game that you cannot pick it up, use the following trick to get almost twice as much normal ammunition. For example, if you have a shotgun with full ammunition and are next to a pile of shotgun ammunition, fire one shot, reload, then pick up the ammunition. You will now have almost double the ammunition
Hint: Gun collection:
Throughout all the levels you will run into many different types of guns. Whenever you see a gun that you do not already have, pick it up. After you complete the level on which you found the gun, the gun will now be available at your house. You will have ammunition in the room for you to use if desired. However, there are many guns that are too big to carry inside your clothes and therefore must be held in the open. You will not be able to pick up a gun of the same size or greater without dropping the one you are holding. You will find other guns on the same level that you cannot pick up because you are already holding one, and the gun you want is simply too big to conceal. In this case, you will have to decide which gun you want more then finish the level with it. You can always replay that level to get the other gun that was left behind.
Hint: Hold two pistols at once:
Take out the pistol that you want in your right hand and drop it. Next, take out your Ballers and also drop them. Then, take out the pistol you want in your left hand. Pick up your Ballers and your gun should switch hands. Finally, pick up the last gun and you should be holding two pistols. The sawn-off shotgun can also be used for this.
