Hitman 2: Silent assasin

Can't remember, I deleted them, but, I remember exactly how I performed each mission so I could redo them and submit better times (more than likely).

Howdy folks, I'm new here too.
Some time ago, I was browsing this site for a hitman 2 speedrun. I was amazed at the low level of achievement for some of the levels, so I decided to make my own runs.
These only took me about 3 days to do, and I thought I might as well upload them.

I made theses without going for zero runs, and by only using the weapons available to me when 1st running though the game, so no custom rifle or M4 in here...
Runs with all weapons unlocked would make it much easier.

[mission01] 1:10 (-14s)

Hey I've been working on my times for hitman 2 and I think I know a good trick for the fastest time on Anathema.  My time is down to 1:13 and I'm not even that good.  Sorry I haven't set myself up for making videos but here's the trick.

Run into the garage and grab the sniper rifle.  Run to the other side of the car and shoot the Don from right there.  Nine times out of ten he'll fall right off the balcony and you can just run over to his body and grab the keys without even going upstairs.

Maybe some of you have tried this already but I figure if I can get down to 1:13, you guys should be able to do under a minute that way.

Even if he ends up hanging off the balconey, you can just shoot him in the head a couple of times and he falls right off.

Sorry, too lazy to register, but here's the score with Anathema, which you'll figure out if you read Id's thread on hitmanforum.com:

Use the ballers only, run straight through the front door, kill the don in his office, grab the room key. Then go run to the basement via either the roof or the kitchen. If you get lucky, you'll run into the white-shirted son along the way: kill him and pick up the car key. Go to the garage and leave via the car.

This is a bit hit or miss, though, as it depends on the route the son takes, or even if they bother moving at all.

Brumisator, you'll find that your time is pretty much maxed using that method, I've done it with ballers to knock the don off, and can't get much quicker. The beauty with the car method is that you save time running to the exit, and you barely have to stop running if all goes smoothly. I got sub one minute this way, Id got something insane like 53/54 seconds. Hope that helps.

Let me think if I can remember how fast I did the first 5 missions. Note that these are Silent Assassin ratings.

Anathema - Race next to door, knock out agent as he exits. Steal his clothes, race into basement. Rush upstairs to the agent guarding the Don's bedroom, shoot him in the head, run in the bedroom, grab the golf club, whack the Don, steal his keys and run back into the basement (through the kitchen), open the door to where the priest is supposed to be, race to the garage, grab the sniper rifle and exit in about three minutes.

Petersburg Stakeout - Since I already have the rifle, run upstairs, sneak past the guard leading to sewers, run through sewers and up to the truck with the guard uniform. Put that on, race to the building where the sniping spot is, run upstairs, aim quickly and fire killing the target, drop the rifle and run back the same way I came. All in all, less than four minutes. (I think).

Kirov Park Meeting - Race to the garbage cans, pick up the rifle and run into the sewers. Exit safely outside the park, near the building next to the tower (the closer one), race over to the tower and behind the garbage cans that would give me a clean shot at both men. Wait for them to hug and then fire, usually getting at least one with a headshot. one shot, two kills. Then just run my ass to the boat and take off. I think I did this in about four minutes.

Tubeway Torpedo - Damn this was a long one, but I basically killed the guard with his back turned to me, hid him and stole his clothes. Got my stuff from the drop and got in the back of the truck. Got out and went past the guard near the entrance to the building. Once inside, went down the elevator, past the guards and hid behind a pillar near where the guards room and officer room (with the necessary officer uniform) was. I planted the bomb where it needed to be, hit the trigger, and as all the guards raced out to see what happened, I went inside their room and entered the officer's room to grab the uniform. Then went into the basement, dropped the beeper next to the door and called it. As the target opened the door to check on the noise, I strangle him and take his knife for the next mission. Me and the agent race up the elevator, past the guards and through the already open (and free of guards) sewers and escape, in less than seven minutes, if I remember right.

Invitation to a Party - This one was incredibly fast, but it takes soo much luck. Start by racing up and to the side door, and pick it. Then just run (don't walk) inside, rush over to the hallway, then sneak into the room with the target and the cleaning maid. Cut the targets throat with the knife from last mission, then quickly pull out the anaesthetic, and knock out the cleaning lady (hopefully, she will be too busy cleaning to notice the killing of the target, in other words, as she is reaching behind the table to clean it). Then run over to the hallway next to the safe (the same hallway as the target), and if you're lucky, the ambassador will come through the door to open the safe. Then just go into the next room, sneak up to him and quickly knock him out (one anaesthetic is all it takes), take the briefcase and run. Again, no one is suspicious, in fact you might run past the spetznatz agent as he races outside (it doesn't matter) just backtrack to the dock, and if done right, you will be out in less than Three minutes.

Again, I can't fully remember the times, but I believe these are the quickest ways to get Silent Assasin on Normal. This week I will hopefully re-record and upload how I did these missions.
