I remember seeing a previous thread where IO answered questions.
They stated that "Hitman works alone" and they had no plans on adding a multiplayer to the game.
I understand why...

They specifically stated that there were no plans on introducing multiplayer in Hitman:Absolution. They answered a fan-question in another thread on this site.

Multiplayer would be good, if it concentrates on stealth, infiltration and elimination of the other assassins to prevent killing the target.

a hitman multiplayer would be soo sweet... they could even just do a basic one and it would be cool... like a straight up 'deathmatch' respawn style with a time limit and an option to choose your character... i would be happy with just that but im sure they could run a few different modes..

like a hide'n'seek with one player being 47 and 10 others security... rotating who's "it" and giving the most points to the one with the most time hidden or security kills... with a max round of like 3-4-or 5 minutes per person...

or just do a normal mission... with one 47 give security respawning but restrict their ability such as 'no ducking' and/or 'slow running'

or tailor one of the styles to a mission you have in the upcoming absolution... obviously i don't know any of the specifics of the game but if you have an interesting level with the right kind of circumstances you may be able to create one out of that...

or what would be sweeeet is a counterstrike style bomb planting or rescue hosties ct's vs. t's or clone 47's vs. cops/gangsters/people in bird suits

Of course there's a chance they might surprise us, but I'm not sure multiplayer would work in the Hitman series.

Default How would YOU design the multiplayer?

Hitman fans have been dreaming of a mutiplayer option in the Hitman series for years, but the question has always been, how would it work?

Maybe if we gather all our mutiplayer ideas here in one spot, we might be able to provide some input from a fans perspective as to how the multiplayer aspect would work.

I have a few ideas.....

(idea one)
This can be played with multiple players. Each player is randomly given a player to assassinate. You have a player to kill, and another player is trying to kill you. The only intel you will be given is who you have to kill, so whoever is trying to kill you is a mystery. You can evade your killer by swapping clothes like hitman does. The objective is to kill your target before your killer kills you. Maybe you will be notified who is trying to kill you after you kill your target, leading to a showdown. Or, you could be given your target's target.

(idea two)
This can be played with two players. One player is the Hitman, the other player is the target. The hitman has to kill the target before he completes certain objectives around the map. If the target completes his objectives he escapes.

These are simple ideas I had, feel free to post yours.

Well, I don't think they could pull off a multiplayer with a lot of players.
Your first idea is a very good idea but with a lot of players ther ea bound to be some who just open fire with their silverballers into a crowd.

If they were to do multiplayer, I reckon they should just do a two-player co-op.
Make some mission designed so that you need two people to be able to do it properly.

Multiplayer would be hard to pull off in a Hitman game

Not everyone wants multiplayer and not every games needs it, especially Hitman.

I don't think the Hitman series would fit with multiplayer. The Hitman series was always great as single player and should stay that way.

Personally I feel the series does not need multiplayer but if they have to include it, this is my idea.

One player starts as 47, every other player except one is a guard/cop/whatever and the last player is the target

47 is given the target in the area but he doesn't have a picture, only a description, do 47 would have to find the target himself.

The objectives of the cops/guards is to protect the target and if they fail at that, to kill 47 before he can reach an exit point.

The target would also be armed so if he spots 47, he can defend himself.


How does that sound?

i think we have covered this topic to the point of repeating ourselves and others...

i know i have posted a bunch of ideas on other threads..

but for avoidance of complication, let's keep it simple...

do a james bond 'goldeneye' style multiplayer... take maps from the game... let people choose their characters (obviously from the game... maybe throw in oddjob

you could have teams like 5 v 5 or just do every man for himself

boom there ya go... easy simple awesome

I like this idea. It still holds single player within it.

If we had to have multiplayer, I think we should keep the single player concept.

MY IDEA: Have players be by themselves, and as hitmen, be given a target, that target being another player. You need to find and kill that player and you get another target. This idea can keep the single player concept but let you play with multiple people.

Yeah, they've pretty much came out and said that there will not be any multiplayer involved with this game. However, they could be tricking us.

Default No Multiplayer would/will be a mistake

I read the FAQ guide that says that "Agent 47 works alone" for the "Will there be Multiplayer?" question. This doesn't necessarily rule out multiplayer, as it's not a "No."

Assassins Creed III will be released before Hitman: Absolution, and chances are it will have it's Multiplayer included after introducing it in Brotherhood and continuing it in Revelations. Whether it's fair or not, these games will be compared continuously after they both release.

If they want this game to be as successful as it can, they should include some form of multiplayer, similar to Assassin's Creed. Assassins Creed was able to implement multiplayer into a singleplayer-heavy game, and it was definitely fun as a change of pace from the singleplayer - Hitman can do it too.

It will be a mistake not to include it, from a "maximum amount of fun" standpoint, and from a fiscal standpoint.

Even if they don't include multiplayer on Absolution I think the game will still do tremendously well. Both AC and Hitman have had a following (I've been playing both for years now.) and fans of the story and atmosphere of each respective game will still go out and get the next one, regardless of multiplayer functionality.

Look at the Elder Scrolls franchise. They are just now talking about a MMO for the franchise and they have been making single player games for nearly 20 years.

Multiplayer would be an improvement for some, but for storyline/plot junkies like myself, I would hardly even get into the multiplayer aspect.

I should also mention that some games that try to introduce multiplayer can sometimes bomb hardcore. They make the mistake on trying to fine tune the multiplayer experience to the best possible level and leave a lot to desire on the single player side.

That said, I have already pre-ordered both AC 3 and Absolution and I fully intend on cracking out on them, heck I might even take a half a weeks vacation on both release dates. haha

I sincerely don't care if they will include a multiplayer facility for the game nor if they won't, as long as the single player feature is amazing. From my point of view, they shouldn't include it, as there are plenty of multiplayer games out there.

Sure, there are a LOT of multiplayer games out, thats because thats what most people like. I'm getting the game regardless if they include it or not - I'm just saying from a fiscal point and maximizing the entertainment value, a great single player and even just "good" multiplayer is better than just a great single player only game. It will appeal to more people, and those who like the singleplayer only will still get what they are so excited for. This isnt about one person and what they like or don't like, want or don't want, it's about appealing to as broad of audience as possible and maximizing the games potential.

I just think with AC III coming out before H:A and AC III having multiplayer, it's a mistake in the very least fiscally to not include it, since AC III has it. The broad audience (those who aren't hardcore Hitman fans) could compare the two games, notice one has more features (AC III has multiplayer, let's say H:A doesnt) and they decide to buy AC III over H:A.

It's like going to buy a new phone. If you're choosing between phone A and phone B that are the same price, and phone B doesn't have a feature like web browsing or a camera..but phone A does, which phone has an automatic advantage as far as sale numbers go? Granted, phones are a little different and a bad example because people care about cosmetic design and ease of use and such - but I'm sure you get my example.

I'm not trying to start a flame war. I want this game to succeed, and I want it to be better than AC III. People who have played AC know what to expect a little bit with AC III, Hitman has been in hiatus for such a long time - it's got a good opportunity. Keep the old Hitman fans with a great single player, and appeal to the newcomers with a good multiplayer.

I liked that.You do know how to sell your side of the debate though, I will give you that.

However, I will maintain a stance on the other side, for no multiplayer.

It doesn't really fit the feel of Hitman to have a multiplayer. I mean 47 does work alone...and to create a new dynamic for 2 sided teams...it just doesn't fit.

For AC there were clear sides...Assassins and Templars. 47 doesn't have a clear enemy in which to attack yet. At the end of Blood Money we had just a hint of who is going after him, but nothing so solid as Assassins and Templars.

I can see a Hitman after Absolution, having a multiplayer, but I don't think we are ready for it yet.
