HitmanHQ Mailbag by: Tech21 | February 2, 2003 IOI: Potty Mouths? I got an easter egg if it is one, but here goes. You know when you are caught by a guy and he starts pulling out his gun? well i told my great grandmother about this and she's arabic. Well I was in the Tunnel Rat level and my grandmother heard some of what they were saying. She understood what they were saying and her cheaks grew a little pink. I asked her what they were saying and she told me that it was not very appropriate. she would not tell me what the words said, but she suggested that some very baaaaaaad words. Thanx for listening to me. P.S. I've read everything on your website and alot has really helped me in my beggining games, thanx!! -Chris Artificial For A Reason The funny thing about the AI in Hitman is that the guards really can't put 2 and 2 together. If one guard has his back to another guard (in a way that nobody can see the second guard), you can shoot this guard in the head and the first guard will spin around wondering what the hell happened to his body. If you are properly disguised, the first guard will have no idea that that pistol shot came from you (regardless of the fact that you may be the only one in the area with a pistol drawn and smoking). -Steve G. Strong Words I am 16 yr old Sikh in UK - I have been full of rage due to this game - please read my letter. Think of it this way... the hitman is employed to take down the Jewish Wailing Wall, The Islamic Holy site of Mecca and the place where Jesus was crucified - where you have to kill all Christians. The Golden Temple is without doubt the holiest Sikh site... and all people know that there were tanks that rolled into the complex to kill many Sikhs on a Gurpurb (Christmas equivalent celebration). Here over 10,000 innocent Sikhs were purposely trapped and killed... we suffered a major loss... the Akal Takht, seat of Authority built by 6th Guru (Prophet equivalent), was knocked to smithereens... How irreplacable is that??? Im 16... I have seen blood stains on the sidewalk and gunshots in the walls... Now Eidos wish to bring this event back to Sikh memories... how can it not bring a tear to the eye. 17-year-old groups of 5 were lined up and were shot "sustainably" by using one bullet!! I just get a bit annoyed with people that cannot fully feel what I am saying. I agree killing is wrong unless it is the last resort or if you are fighting to proterct the unprotected. It's a game... no one complained about Grand Theft Auto 3 which is OK... I feel thats it is humorous that there is actually a Sikh turban wearing taxi driver with a funky accent. I feel that that is OK as it is not a direct insult to my religion... as there are Sikh taxi drivers. Now...Eidos with this game brought out the Sikh past which is hurtful and poignent. Remember the Simpsons episode about the Twin Towers which was scrapped??? WHY? well because it would remind people of the "bad" past. I agree, if you lost someone you loved in there or anyone you would be hurt to be reminded. Now this game is continuosly reminding us Sikhs... why shouldnt the particular mission be scrapped? Look Guyz. How would the Americans like it if the new eidos game Hitman was followed by another game known as Hitman 3 - this time you have to hijack a plane and crash down the Twin Towers in a suicide mission? -Harsimranjit Singh Not-so-strong Words WHAT THE [edited expletive] IS UP WID THE SIKHS AND INDIA U RACIST [edited expletive] I SWEAR WHO EVA DONE THIS RACIST ACT WIL GET [edited expletive] REPLY TO ME Jason Bains All About Dedication I am a BIG Hitman fan. Could you believe I liked this game so much, I played it on a 233 Mhz CPU ? It was horrible, it took about 1 minute to load the Lee Hong mission, but hey, the game was amazing! I mananged to get to the Say Hello to my Little Friend level on that PC, which I say it's a miracle, considering sometimes the framerate was like the solw motion effect from the patch. But thankfully, now I have a super PC and I can play Hitman with no problems. -Albu Adrian And that's all she wrote! (No, literally, people wrote this stuff). And thus concludes edition five of the HitmanHQ Mailbag. Why not jump over to the forums and discuss what you've read?
