Id love to see a ranking of every target and their lore

I would move Paris to the medium category. The amount of NPC's and trespassing areas is comparable to the bank. The tight corridors are pretty restrictive, especially to new players. Also seeing it in the same tier as Miami and Sapienza is kinda weird imo 🤷‍♂

I must say, the addition of Freelancer definitely changed my perspective on map difficulty. I never really stuggled on maps like Colorado when I was just doing the standard objectives, but the addition of challenge goals and needing to isolate targets from environments that weren't really considered at release made me realize that very public and easy to access maps can pull a 180 into a guarded nightmare if the objectives were simply tweaked slightly.

The Colorado map is by far the hardest map in the entire World of Assassination trilogy. There are guards everywhere patrolling the outpost. Once you get caught by one of them for anything suspicious, you will be outnumbered within seconds of being attacked by a group of 10-20 of them and escaping is almost impossible.

Hitman feels like the best renditions of real life environments in a video game. Something is so comfortable about the beautiful Italian coast in Sapienza or the grimey Berlin nightclub

It's nice to see you back with hitman content! Keep up the good work.

Overall your list is really agreeable. Personally I'd swap Dartmoor and Berlin as once you get the high-guard or detective outfit in Dartmoor it really becomes a cakewalk. I still find myself getting lost on Berlin and I agree with you I thought it would have been a beast to tackle and it was at first. It's a great map that unfortunately still gets the best of me.

I would like to see an Hitman trilogy targets tier list, only regular missions, no elusive targets and/or sarajevo six/patient zero. Would be amazing, keep up the good work!

Maybe I'd put some maps a level higher or lower, but overall I think this is accurate. Though it is tricky to rate the maps with a generalized difficulty rating because, honestly, if you have some skills and aren't going for suit only, almost all maps are trivially easy to beat. I think a good metric to rate them based on difficulty would be "How much am I looking forward to playing this map in freelancer with silent assassin as the objective?"

its good to see you back with the hitman content great video and keep up the grind

There is no way sapienza could make it down to easy with that underground lab with every entrance being covered by a guard

Always love a good tier list video!

Thank you for still talking about hitman. I hope this game will never die

Love them vids my man , keep on doing em , yeehaw 🤠

My Freelancer experience makes me agree perfectly with both the Very Hard and Medium categories. I think Colorado and Ambrose are the most unforgiving.

Loving your content.

I love this list, you have nailed it. I was surprised to not see a mention of the technical issues that take away from Haven Island. I really like the map but NPCs seeing through walls etc is gamebreaking.

Hey Gold! You inspired me to make videos of my own! Thanks, You are awesome.

Very well made video! Just came back from a 3 hour session of clearing Sapienza of everyone. I guess there's never enough hitman content. Which map do you recommend me to clear next?

another great video!! bro will you play the blood money mobile or will you do gamplay on this channel the game looks good ngl

Good video, keep it up.

My main problem with Bangkok is how there is very few way to move across the wings. If there was either more actual building like a walkway or maybe some sign/ropes/lights you could shimmy across it would open up possibilities a lot more

That hotwheels beat that theme at the outro really pulled on my nostalgia nervs

My favorite thing about Colorado is how I heard it was infamous before playing it, then I just started with a kill everyone playthrough with guns blazing just to see how far I'll go. I managed to beat the level for like the third try on professional. Yes, everything is filled with guards, but you always have plenty of cover to shoot from and to break like of sight. You can just kite almost everyone around without ever getting cornered. But yes.. going sneaky and getting spotted in the middle is most likely a rest in pieces. Also that water tower starting point in freelancer mode... ugh... whoever came up with that should really sit in the corner and think about it.

It would be cool to see the middle road Hitman 1 maps to be updated in some way, mainly fixing the issues you said they had

I love Mumbai. Several different maps all in one

It's strange, as a new player I fell in love with Colorado immediately, and then of course Berlin and whittleton creek. Now that I'm lvl 700, Ive really come to appreciate Santa fortuna, Hokkaido, and New York. Chongqing is a bit easy, but a fantastic atmosphere, Dartmoor anyone could do in their sleep, and Bangkok needs to be deleted from ever existing.

A nice video idea would be tutorials to get a save start in the freelancer maps and spawnpoints like good disguises and getting to a non-trespassing zone

I just woke up and read it as “Ranking All 3 Hitman Maps Based on Their Difficulty” 😂

As someone with around 200 hours in the game, I mostly agree with this list except for a few points. Haven Island as a suit only is very difficult, but playing with disguises I think it has some of the most logical and fun kill opportunites (I'll disguise myself as a gym employee and kill my target with weights, sabotage their jetski, poison the target with food they are sampling in the restaurant, disguise myself as the target's doctor, etc). For me, that map has a great mix of suit only challenge and fun opportunities that actually makes it one of my favorite maps, and I would say that I would put it firmly in medium difficulty, or MAYBE hard if the guard sight distance really bothers you. For Mumbai, I think it's a pretty good map, but I could never get over how annoying identifying the maelstrom is. Rangan's tower might be one of the most fun areas in the game, but the slums and trainyard always felt like a chore to me. At least the slums and finding the picture every time is just way too much hastle. I think they should have allowed you to streamline the Maelstrom identification aspect of that mission on second playthroughs. For me, it's a pretty decent map, but I feel like it ultimately fails to make the Maelstrom objective fun after the 1st playthrough, and the trainyard area is so far away from everything it just feels unnecessarily large in the same way Santa Fortuna is. I think I would put Chongqing in very hard actually. IMO, other can Colorado obviously, this is the hardest map in the trilogy imo because of how many layers of security there are to get through in the underground base. Going for some of the opportunity kills on the bottom level can take up to 30 minutes to make happen for me at least. Tons of moving guards around, advanced prep to make sure there are no witnesses. If you're playing on Master, there is no way you're making it out alive if you get spotted on the bottom level. It's game over. And with one save that can make you lose 15 minutes plus of progress. For Miami, that is a medium difficulty imo. It's a map that's easy to complete, but also has some of the most complicated opportunity kills in the entire series. I think that's also the best map in the trilogy imo. Between hitman 2 and now 3, I think it's safe to say I probably spent over 50 hours just on Miami. There's an insane amount of content there, ranging from easy to hard difficulty. I think I agree with every other placement. Maybe I would rank Paris as a medium because of how many areas there are that trip up new players. The escalating security requirements on each level can get a lot of new players killed, and can be hard to understand until you get used to the game.

I agree with all of theese picks good video

i’d love to see this for the older hitman games

At the start I thought I wouldn't agree at all but looking at the final tier list, I think all of this is very reasonable. As a long time player who spends a lot of time for me it's tough to say what I think are the hardest maps, I think it really depends on what you're trying to do as all of the maps for me is easy for some things but very hard for others but if I had to try and make a top 3 hardest I would say Colorado, Isle of Sgail and Marrakesh has proven to be challening in the most ways. Easiest? Except for the ICA maps I would say Paris, Dartmoor and Sapienza

Great video, I'm returning to hitman after a long break. I want to try 100% the game and get top 1000 on every level. Do you have any tips on getting those challenges done? And some tips on planning routes? Thanks

I’m proud of myself I ended up getting in the top 500 on dartmore love that map so much

ambrose island was actually the first map i ever sa/so'd so it holds a special place in my heart

The difficulty of the maps themselves was something I never accounted for until freelancer mode released, I noticed that I was avoiding certain maps especially for showdowns, granted I will have to play with the cards I’m dealt eventually when I go for the other syndicate elimination challenges

I’d love to see a ranking video of maps for showdowns.

I am very much reminded of Bjarkhov bomb in the older Hitman games. THOSE were some A+ Maps/Levels. I got lost once just wandering around and ended up in the flower shop, found a box of flowers and a Shotgun like Terminator 2. Plenty of freedom. Bangkok, lacks all that.

W VIDDDD!!!!

honestly accurate ranking

I think they should have made it so that's in Hokkaido if you start with the disguise and then you would be able to bring items with you, you whould think a doctor could bring some change with them

You should play the older hitman games and rank targets or rank levels of them. I believe you’d enjoy it.

Did you already rank the maps by beauty ? If not please it would be incredible (ps. Every time there’s a wild gold notification, it means I’m going to have a good evening)

I’ve never understood the hatred towards Colorado. It’s the most satisfying SA/SO in Hitman 2016

would you ever make ranking video ranking all the levels in ENTIRE hitman series? It would be rlly nice and plus 99.999% of all levels ranking videos only rank trilogy levels.

I don't know what about bonus missions but all I going to change is Hokkaido to very hard that's it I lost so many runs because Hokkaido is actually very painful

I like Hokkaido but when you wanna wear a cool ninja skin in freelancer but you end up spawning in a crowded area with you getting shot on sight if you move it is pretty hard

Nice

You should rank every Escalation Track from all 3 games, including the ones not carried over by Hitman 2 & Hitman III

I Must say, the Difficult maps are to me Very fun because the Challenge is what makes you calculate your decisions and forces you to take it slow, and that makes many maps great but only if it’s done right unlike SANTA FORTUNA

What are ya'lls favorite maps? Mine is Berlin!

Man I sympathize with your Hokkaido experiences on Freelancer. All fun and games until your target is spawned in the medical wing

I used your Peekaboo and coin lure advice to SASO Bangkok, Marrakesh, and Colorado with no guides.

Hokkaido is a weird one because it’s so easy in the main story, and the SASO route is so obvious that you can basically figure it out on your first try, but then in freelancer it becomes hard as nails. They clearly figured out exactly where to place extra guards and stuff in order to maximise the awkwardness of moving around the map. Tbf, the staff areas of Hokkaido on the story mission feel pretty sparsely populated so it makes sense that they added in some extra npcs

My easiest maps are Haven Island, New York, Dubai and Berlin. I really struggled with Berlin at first but after enough plays I find it easy now.

Hopefully this new Exclusive Target is going to be decent this week.

Sapienza -> Medium (mansion enforcers and biolab) Marrakesh -> Medium (it's not that bad) Miami -> Medium (complexity and hundreds of tiny rooms and locked doors) Dartmoor -> Easy (never had any real difficulty here) Disagreed with several level opinions, but that comes with the territory. This was fun to watch and think about. Good vid

I respect the opinion on Bangkok but personally I found it was one of my favourite maps, I think because I like Jordan Cross mostly but I enjoyed the map as a whole

I found the Dartmoor mission so hard I had to google the officer walk though because I missed a lot of things

Excepet Dartmoor (its Medium for me) I 100% agree with

I would say that Mumbai is definitely medium, I didn't really struggle with it on my first playthrough and Paris should go to medium as well because it's not that easy tbh, it was a lil confusing when I first played it.

Oooooooooh i'm gonna get the hitman bug again i can feel it

I feel that every Hitman map in the trilogy is pretty hard. Even the training missions.

15:11 Unless the practice is other hitman levels I kinda did silent assassin suit only on Ambrose island first try

i see isle of sgail one of the easiest missions in the game you can easily get penthouse guard disguise and wander around the whole map freely without trespassing unless it's SASO then it's totally hard

New york bank , easiest heist in the game by a mile. i can do it without even thinking about it. its just so well designed i dont even know im playing a game.

Agree with most aside from Dartmoor, id put it in easy to be honest

I beaten island of sgail but Has problem with sapienza can SOMEONE explain why IT is like THAT?

i have a lot of corrections for this one as long time player and beating each level over 100 times with freelancer as well i can tell that from hitman 1 Marrakesh is very hard Hokkaido is either very hard or hard but in between Sapienza and Paris is medium from hitman 2 Mumbai is between medium and hard Santa Fortuna is medium and isle of sgail is rather hard since there is options of going around just targets aren't the easiest to catch especially for saso new york is hard and Maldives are easy freelancer as long as you stay away from mansion then its medium from hitman 3 all maps pretty much fill medium category since its fairly easy only thing why i would put Mendoza and Chongqing at hard because of all long traveling with enemies being close by in those paths rest is okay

Tbh I feel like Colorado can fall to the easy catagory depending on your starting location

I have to disagree with what you said about romania. I think it works well purely because its the final boss of the story. If u had an open map like the others itd have been next to impossible to make it feel like a final boss kind of level except for an overflow of cutscenes. This map design however for me did feel from the start like the ultimate boss level. On its own its ofc not that great but given its place in the story i think it did everything well that it was meant to do. And like u said its difficult on a first try which makes it work in the story very well imo

The only map I didnt agree on in the list was dartmoor. I actually think its the easiest map in the entire trilogy. 1 target, very open, few guards. First time I played it I beat it in around 20 minutes. Usually it takes an hour.

videos like this are just satisfying. why does marrakesh get so much hate?

I would switch Mumbai with Marrakesh and Bangkok but the rest is perfect

there should be a kalmer with lethal poisoned darts instead of sedative poison

Colorado took me weeks to beat 😂 very hard is accurate

Also what makes Bangkok bad is the keycard I always thought the card would be on guards but no it’s the laundry…

wtf, Haven Island isn't hard, it's easy to navigate cause there's many public spaces and disguises are easy to get it should be easy, medium at best

The easiest map: the one you play over and over The hardest map: the ones you never play on

bro just called me out at sapienza 😂

Man my problem with Marrakesh is when freelancer dumps you into the damn school with no disguise. Like thanks, guess I'll die.

haven in very hard?? i would've thought easy to medium because of the sheer amount of cover and easiness to traverse outside of the building, including an emergency exit in the mansion to get in easily. i disagree with very hard, medium at hardest edit: forgot to mention that i completed the campaign in 2 days. haven island was one of my quickest of the lot edit 2: colorado was my longest tied with dubai, and i found mumbai very easy

Dartmoor, Marrakesh, and carpathian mountains are hilariously easy, in my opinion

My opinion is very different, but i think we all can agree on colorado

Me being the only one likes the Carpathian Mountains map the 2nd most

Where is Ambrose Island?

Before watching, (assuming this is based on SA/SO, no major glitches) if Bangkok isn't set as very hard, I will be inclined to disagree with the merit of this. Edit: while not being listed as very hard, I'm glad we share the same opinion on this dog shit map. 10/10, will watch again 👌

tbh colorado was easier to SASO for me than mumbai was

Not saying im objectively right or that you have to agree with me but... I have to say I think Hokkaido is very hard bc of how much grinding you have to do to make it not hard. A lot of hitman missions it felt like my plan of attack was do a regular playthrough with accident kills or mission stories and then move come back with better equipment, starting points, etc. And do other challenges to get that level 20 mastery quickly. With Hokkaido, they really limited that for me I felt. Instead of accomplishing some easier tasks so now I can bring better gadets and stuff, I have to repeatedly start with *nothing* until I get level 20. I was not a fan at all of locking every slot behind level 20. After youre level 20 sure it's just hard or normal even, but that difficulty is locked behind hours of grinding with no good gadgets

Idk why you put mumbai in very hard. I am a beginner and it is medium in my opinion. Extremely doable if you have a working brain. And Isle of Sgail was also medium. Very doable.

Honestly, colorado wasn't as hard as everyone says it is, that might be because i spent a month playing it though

paris is hard imo

I hate Hokkaido because so many of my freelancer campaigns have ended on it with the reasons being terrible spawns

Colorado....

Marrakesh easy, best map😊 best atmosphere, stories, ect

You seem to be biasing your approach to saso

I agree with everything on the list except Dubai. That map is easy af

I hated and still hate Miami it was too big with way to few ways to go to the other side of the map, and you can barely go fast because there are so many NPCS everywhere. After getting new starting locations it is better hut the first is horrible. And if you don't wait for the end of the race there are only a few ways to kill on of the targets. And I really don't want to wait 20 or so minutes to get every type of kill.

Never learn speedrun strategys its turns the game from a stealth game to a puzzle game
