Popular Post Undead Wolf Posted August 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) IO Interactive made a post on their site detailing the game modes that will be in the upcoming Hitman 3. At the end of this post, they talk about how the competitive multiplayer Ghost Mode won't be featured in the the new game, and the servers for Ghost Mode in Hitman 2 will be shut down on the 31st of August. Full quote below. Quote Ghost Mode 1v1 competitive multiplayer came to the Hitman franchise for the first time with Ghost Mode. With our focus currently on other areas of the World of Assassination, Ghost Mode won’t be featured in HITMAN 3 and we have made the difficult decision to shut down the Ghost Mode servers for HITMAN 2 on Monday 31st August 2020. We have learnt a hell of a lot from Ghost Mode over the last two years and we’ll be taking all of those learnings onboard for what we do in the future with regards to multiplayer. We want to send a sincere thank you to all of our players who have enjoyed Ghost Mode over the last two years. We’re looking forward to a few more matches online and raising a glass for Ghost Mode one final time. One other thing; The Phantom Suit, which can only be unlocked by playing Ghost Mode, will be added as an unlock in HITMAN 3. The servers for Hitman 2's Sniper Assassin Mode will also be shut down "before the launch of Hitman 3". Quote Sniper AssassinDedicated to long-range assignments, Sniper Assassin tasks you with eliminating targets and guards without triggering an alarm, whilst completing challenges to boost your score multiplier. In HITMAN 3, Sniper Assassin can be played in existing maps as a single-player experience only. We are preparing to sunset the co-op servers in HITMAN 2 before the launch of HITMAN 3 and we’ll share an exact timeline and a solution to the mode’s multiplayer trophies in the coming months. Source: https://www.ioi.dk/hitman-3-game-modes/ I'm not familiar with the game or its trophy lists, but people have informed me that the only trophies that will be affected by this are for Hitman 2's Sniper Assassin Mode. However, in the quote above, IO Interactive have stated that they will share a "solution" to the multiplayer trophies in the coming months. This should mean that the 100% will be obtainable after the servers close down. Edited August 17, 2020 by Undead Wolf 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source: https://www.ioi.dk/hitman-3-game-modes/ I'm not familiar with the game or its trophy lists, so I can't speak to whether or not some trophies will be made unobtainable after this date. I do see the word "Multiplayer" mentioned in one of the game's trophies on the Additional Expansions list though. I would appreciate it if anyone with knowledge about the game could chime in. I planned on playing Hitman 2 eventually, but if the 100% won't be possible anymore, chances are I'll just skip it. Nope, all 145 trophies are singleplayer, just 100% this game a few weeks ago Only sniper coop is online Edited August 17, 2020 by Thalactus24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceCoresDad Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Most of the trophies for HITMAN 2 are the same as the first game, meaning all single player. I don't know about that one multiplayer trophy though. Anyone done the expansions that can chime in? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 Having read the other parts of their post, it's worth noting what they said about the Sniper Assassin mode, especially the last part.

Sadly sniper coop does have trophies, but this ones are super easy, all you have to do is kill all targets and complete the mission in the 3 maps in coop, it can be done in 15 minutes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkrequiem7 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 There's one or two trophies for doing Sniper maps in co-op, but no trophies are related to the Ghost Mode competitive mode. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah okay, so no Ghost Mode multiplayer trophies, but there are some for the Sniper Assassin Mode. Even then, they are going to make a workaround for the trophies so they stay obtainable even after the servers close. I will update the opening post with this information, thanks.

IO Interactive definitely deserve praise for that since most devs would just leave them unobtainable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodytears1666 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Didn't want to play Hitman recently, but it seems I have to, gladly only 2 maps left. Still can't complete one challenge on first map... Edited August 17, 2020 by Bloodytears1666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevengeancePrime Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 There are 3 sniper maps (2 of which are DLC) in Hitman 2 each with a trophy for simply completing each map in co-op. I don't mind there being no ghost mode because it just seems unnecessary. I'd rather have the devs focused on polishing each map and making the single player experience the best it can be.

Thropy_Croissant Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I wouldn’t put too much faith in them providing a solution. They said the same for Hitman:Absolution and we all know how that played out ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They split from Square Enix after those servers went down and now have no control over them what so ever. If they had control of those servers I 100% believe they would have brought them back somehow or worked out a workaround for the trophies. There's a lot of shitty developers and publishers out there doing some shady shit but IOI should be respected by everyone as they are totally against all that stuff. It's why they went independent in the first place, so they could have complete control over what happens with Hitman. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleggworth Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I'll have to keep an eye out on the announcement for the co-op closure. I'm currently on a break from the game after completing all the legacy maps. Might have to go back to it sooner rather than later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamurotetsu Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 FYI, Hitman 2 Gold Edition is £15.99 right now on the EU summer sale, which finishes tomorrow. Highly likely it won't be on sale again before the shutdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBloodmoney Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 That’s a shame - Ghost mode was an interesting and well made 1v1 game - but I can understand it disappearing. It became quite difficult to find any randoms who would actually finish a game, rather than simply leave as soon as they fell a kill or two behind. I had a lot of fun playing with people I know, but pretty frustrating time with randoms. At least I managed to get that beautiful Phantom Suit before it disappeared. As far as sniper mode goes, I never really understood why coop was included in those. Always felt odd, since the sniper maps are so dependent on doing specific objectives, and having 2 ppl pretty much just guaranteed a chaotic mess of a time. in the end, the true ‘multiplayer’ in Hitman is the creation of contracts and seeing others try to beat them, and that won’t be going anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TazDevilz1986 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Can you do those 3 MP trophies straight away? And how long do they take to get? Edited August 18, 2020 by TazDevilz1986 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been told 30 mins to 2 hours, and you can immediately play those maps, would someone like to confirm? Also, are there any additional trophies in the Hitman 2 Additional Expansions trophy list that require online capability?

The_Mighty_Ducks Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Another server shutdown... Pissing me off every damn time.. Studios need to stop making online trophies and just have in game online trophies.. so you can still 100% the game but lose all your online achievements which is only saved on the server. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TazDevilz1986 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Doing the online trophies only doesn’t keeping you save from the shutdown once that is going to happen when Hitman 3 releases i think. Whole game is needed to connect online, which is another thing that you should worry about those challenges and stuff. I’m not a big fan of this.
