Ah, Silent Assassin, my very first Hitman game. Such fond (and sometimes frustrating) memories. Wish the current games had more features from that time.
I love the Hayamoto assassination mission, it was one of the hardest to pass because of the snipers seeing you. Felt a lot more badass when I finally beat it because not even 50 snipers covering the entire area can detect 47 if you do everything just right.
Thanks for this gem of a walkthrough, I always knew you could sa every mission, but never achieved it, you sir are a god at this game 🙏💯 love your playthrough bro this is my favorite hitman game ever and you absolutely killed it man ❤️🤙
Celebrating twenty years of absolute greatness, this year, in exactly 30 days! This was my first Hitman game, which I played back then, on my, at the time, brand new Windows XP PC. And what a freaking fun ride it was! And just think... look at how far PC gaming... well, gaming in general has evolved in 20 years. If you go back 20 years from 2002 PC gaming wasn't even a thing! Gaming was, sure, but nothing even remotely akin to what we had in 2002 let alone today! It's mind blowing. Happy Birthday, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin!
I remember this level. Really fun to do it different ways. You can steal the briefcase out of the safe by repeatedly sneaking around the ambassador when he opens it. He will yell at you while the safe is open and you can just grab it, and the chocolates...
Your commentary is useful short and sweet, more professional than other youtubers, plus also your gameplay is ace.....and your playing one of my favourite franchises, earned a sub and 👍🏼 from me.
cool video, thanks for the time and effort you put in. really brings back memories. however i subjectively think it's sooo much more fun to play this game as a shooter. 😅
This was an awesome game and its rating system makes the game way more interesting to play in different styles. we make a series with how to get a Psychopath rating in every mission in this game.
u a real hitman og bro i fw u big respect to you I been watching u like for 4 years thanks for helping in these games I play every hitman till this day legendary games !!
That's where no ps3 backwards compatibility kinda sucks. On the Xbox side of things Hitman 2 Silent Assassin and Contracts are both backwards compatible on Xbox One and Xbox Series X and both the Xbox 360 and the Xbox One remasters of Hitman Blood Money and Absolution are backwards compatible. I think the oldest one you can play on PS4 or PS5 is the remastered port of Hitman Blood Money. I just finished Hitman Contracts a few hours ago on my Series X and Hitman 2 Silent Assassin over the weekend. Came here to see if the way this guy gets his Silent Assassin ranks are different from mine. Turns out right from the 1st mission he had something new to show me.
I had so much trouble in killing 2 generals mission. I just couldn't play this game anymore. Great vid anyway! I won't play this game but can watch your whole video :D
a year late but i've discovered with the trunk, you can sneak into the back and crouch down so you're hidden by the boxes the truck will deliver you to the millitary base and you don't have to take anyone out cause you can just go get the same disguise that centerstrain gets!!
59:50 My game had a glitch where he wouldn't come out when I called the pager. Fortunately there is another way to complete this mission: just sneak into the observation room and shoot the glass then shoot the general in the head, then climb though the window.
I thought it was a glitch but its not you have to wait from him to finish talking, the general wont respond to the pager if he isn't finished his dialogue.
Hold on a second. I've been going through the whole game not selecting any gear at the beginning of missions (default loadout I guess you'd call it) because I thought it would invalidate my ranking. I could have brought silenced pistols, knives and anaesthetic with me this whole time?
@brandonltxxp It runs better through Xbox 360 emulation on Xbox One and Xbox Series X than on original hardware. You can play native Xbox One ports of Blood Money and Absolution on Xbox One at 1080p 60fps or One X at 4k 60fps with the Series S running at 1080p 60fps and Xbox Series X running the One X code at 4k 60fps. I just finished with Hitman 2 Silent Assassin and Contracts on Series X and they both play and look very clean.
I hope it happens. right now, i'm not sure if IO will work on it because of the bond game. It would depend which developer would be enthusiastic about picking these games up.
Just so you know. Sniper acquiring target does not affect silent assassin rating. As long as you don't take damage it doesn't matter. Great playthrough though
You should consider getting into the speedrunning of these early hitman games, I know you could do it because you know them like the back of your hand casually. I know hitman kinda seems like a slow burn stylistically but trust me man nothing feels better or memeworthy sliding and beating a mission way shorter than it would be without the exploits... think about it!
“Lead me oh Heavenly Father in the path of right. I walk alone and stumble in the dark. Show me the light and I’ll go there. Let me find peace in my own heart, And save me from my enemies."
I've mostly been doing the missions and getting SA and then checking videos to see if/how much I overcomplicated things. I gave in and checked to see how to do Hidden Valley and At The Gates because the devs just seemed to throw the rulebook out the window. How is it when I have the best disguise in the game so far (fully covering all recognisable features including the GIANT FUCKING BARCODE ON THE BACK OF MY HEAD!) it's no good to me at all because suddenly they start asking me (AND ONLY ME!) for ID? This in combination with the guards spontaneously developing superhuman powers of perception which allows them to see me through trees was enough to make me nearly quit because I thought that's what the rest of the game was going to be like. I just finished The Jacuzzi Job. I took a different approach. I ran and grabbed the night vision (though I ended up not using them) and got back out the door before the guard came in. Then I ran along the ledge to where the wife(?) is opening the safe. I then sneaked into the room with the fuse box and timed cutting the lights with her opening the safe. With the lights out I grabbed the cash and statue and then put a single shot in the target's head. I was at the elevator before the lights came back on. Not going to lie, I felt like a badass after that mission. It's almost worth all the swearing, crying and frothing at the mouth from all my failed attempts on previous missions.
I play the Hitman HD Pack on Xbox 360 but in the St. Petersburg Revisited i have a bug that agent 17 Always catch me while i sneak behind him he just drop his sniper and shoot me with a Deagle making for me impossible to get the SA rank on that mission, even if i try to use the fiber wire before he shots or hit me the game Will count the "Close Encounter" giving me only a "Professional" rank, if you know another way of killing agent 17 or a way to fix this bug i would be grateful, thanks in advance anyway
It’s a different stealth than Metal Gear.... in Metal Gear they know Snake or some other person kills everyone after he leaves..... 47 makes everything look like an accident, an unfortunate act of God.... and only a few know he exists..... yeah it is a different stealth
Can someone help me out I'm tripping. When this remaster came out I watched his playthrough and now it has been re released? I swear I saw the same playthrough ages ago! Edit: I just so happened to search hitman 2 silent assassin playthrough on KZclip tonight.
@Aaron Walls Eh, I dunno, quite a few of them were unwelcome. Namely, ludicrous sneaking speed, the incredibly clunky ranged weapon use, the OP melee weapons, the minimap + (thankfully reduced compared to Absolution) instinct instead of full sized real time map and, of course, lack of Jesper Kyd, Vivienne McKee, gloves, healthbar, binoculars and dual silverballers.
Hitman: World of Assassination serves perfectly as the end of the franchise. I'd like to see them now revamp Silent Assassin & Contracts. Contracts is already half a remake of Codename 47, so no need for that one anymore & Blood Money was packaged with Absolution in the HD Collection anyway.
Never notices how she mispronounced Carniwarez. :) If you're fast, you can shoot Von Kamprad off the balcony in the first second. I can't remember if you can salvage the rest of the mission if you do that.
In all the 47 games since blood money they make him have a soft spot for diana and only for her... but in Silent Assasin 2 they showed you a man looking for redemption of his evil while striking a friendship with a priest, but evil overtook the good and he is back at it... silent assasin has the best arc in my opinion, followed by contracts and his reminscence of old missions while he bled out (and the detail of all the missions being at night and raining, meaning he a not so fondly memory of them... and as far as gameplay goes i'd go for blood money.
Ah, Silent Assassin, my very first Hitman game. Such fond (and sometimes frustrating) memories. Wish the current games had more features from that time.
This game was mu absolute favorite used cheats for all the weapons and just went buck wild every level
@Brandon seems like bro had a stroke
@panzaii everything good bro?
Yeah I got o w we
Rttttttt I’m sorry e
Can’t believe this game was made almost 20 years ago. I remember playing this as kid. Time flies.
It's been a while since I see a nice playthrough of this game. Brings back so many good memories
These are the games that made up our childhood ❤️
This is a true original classic game!! I’ll never forget never being able to sit through school because I’d just wanna get home and play this on PS2
I love the Hayamoto assassination mission, it was one of the hardest to pass because of the snipers seeing you. Felt a lot more badass when I finally beat it because not even 50 snipers covering the entire area can detect 47 if you do everything just right.
I'm watching all your Hitman content again. So good! Looking forward to some freelancer mode.
Thanks for this gem of a walkthrough, I always knew you could sa every mission, but never achieved it, you sir are a god at this game 🙏💯 love your playthrough bro this is my favorite hitman game ever and you absolutely killed it man ❤️🤙
Dude, streaming old-school Strain while you deal with the kid.
Smart.
Celebrating twenty years of absolute greatness, this year, in exactly 30 days! This was my first Hitman game, which I played back then, on my, at the time, brand new Windows XP PC.

Happy Birthday, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin!
Discovered your channel because of 47. And I love H2:SA. Thanks for the amazing content. More Hitman is always welcome.
This was actually my first third person shooting game i ever played & that’s what made me enjoy em so much.
I remember this level. Really fun to do it different ways. You can steal the briefcase out of the safe by repeatedly sneaking around the ambassador when he opens it. He will yell at you while the safe is open and you can just grab it, and the chocolates...
My first hitman game yet it feels like I just passed it yesterday aaah nostalgia
Watching this play through brought back good memories. 🤝
Watching you play the first mission just made me realize my 8 year old self just wanted to do everything the hard way and take everybody out ! 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for bringing back good old memories!
Your commentary is useful short and sweet, more professional than other youtubers, plus also your gameplay is ace.....and your playing one of my favourite franchises, earned a sub and 👍🏼 from me.
@Centerstrain01
I like action now a gamer there are preferences I'll go steal or guns blazing it's fun to do that thank you for this video .
Welcome aboard! Glad to have you here, Thomas!
cool video, thanks for the time and effort you put in. really brings back memories. however i subjectively think it's sooo much more fun to play this game as a shooter. 😅
Best hitman game for me, no doubt. Best soundtrack as well, fantastic.
You are just favorite KZclipr for this type of content, Center thank you so much!
This was an awesome game and its rating system makes the game way more interesting to play in different styles. we make a series with how to get a Psychopath rating in every mission in this game.
The best Hitman ever made. The mechanics actually made the game hard
1:05:25 best mission, and plenty of hidden rooms in there xD Also the Japanese themed music is so great
2:48:53 this is much easier in 1st person mode, the attack is completely different and you can move while attacking.
I keep searching for games I loved playing as a child this is one of them. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
u a real hitman og bro i fw u big respect to you I been watching u like for 4 years thanks for helping in these games I play every hitman till this day legendary games !!
The best game I've played in my PC along with swat 4, project IGI and GTA SA
I just subscribed because your game play was so awesome. Good job!
Thanks for the childhood memories!
I got a "Ninja-Extraordinaire " rating in the "Basement Killing" mission. I was pretty psyched.
This game was terrifying as a kid for some reason i can’t explain it but the anxiety was real back then lmfaooo 1000/10 game though
I'd kill for the trilogy on PS4, it's go time. Nothing but great times with you and Hitman.
@True Ultimagod I've still got SA and Contracts download on PS3. I never touched Contracts but it'll be a pain playing on a old console.
That's where no ps3 backwards compatibility kinda sucks. On the Xbox side of things Hitman 2 Silent Assassin and Contracts are both backwards compatible on Xbox One and Xbox Series X and both the Xbox 360 and the Xbox One remasters of Hitman Blood Money and Absolution are backwards compatible.

I had so much trouble in killing 2 generals mission. I just couldn't play this game anymore. Great vid anyway! I won't play this game but can watch your whole video :D
Glad too see you still make hitman videos
2023 just completed the 12th mission thank you! Happy New Year's
a year late but i've discovered with the trunk, you can sneak into the back and crouch down so you're hidden by the boxes the truck will deliver you to the millitary base and you don't have to take anyone out cause you can just go get the same disguise that centerstrain gets!!
Cool. This game was very fun and entertaining.
59:50 My game had a glitch where he wouldn't come out when I called the pager. Fortunately there is another way to complete this mission: just sneak into the observation room and shoot the glass then shoot the general in the head, then climb though the window.

The memoriesss🤤
I was searching for this so freaking long omg this I usually play as kid lol 😂
THIS GAME NEEDS A REMAKE ASAP
miss this game and those endless failed missions
Hold on a second. I've been going through the whole game not selecting any gear at the beginning of missions (default loadout I guess you'd call it) because I thought it would invalidate my ranking. I could have brought silenced pistols, knives and anaesthetic with me this whole time?
New sub thanks for the vids and helping me beat this and my childhood nemesis, codename 47
This has to be by far for me one the hardest hitman games ever I swear the bloody disguise is useless I would always get shot at
Such a good game.
2004 i have completed but good to see u have made a wake up mood to play the hitman games
I hope that IO Interactive will remake the older Hitman games in the future
Omg yess that would be awsome imagine hitman agent 47 or hitman 2 or blood money remastered. It would be amazingg
I don't think a remake would be able to capture the essence the atmosphere of older hitman games
@brandonltxxp It runs better through Xbox 360 emulation on Xbox One and Xbox Series X than on original hardware.

@Shiva Nostalgia
Just so you know. Sniper acquiring target does not affect silent assassin rating. As long as you don't take damage it doesn't matter. Great playthrough though
the mechanics and physics still blow me away. nearly 20 years later
Picklock glitch: when you're Picklocking press m and then press m again and the door is opened faster
2:29:05 perfection
I'm thinking 47 just used the priest being kidnapped as an excuse to get back into the game. He didn't seem all that hesitant to suit back up.
Oh my childhood memories flashing
Hitman is a good game i been studying a lot of your videos just get new weapons and pass all the missions thanks for your videos
You should consider getting into the speedrunning of these early hitman games, I know you could do it because you know them like the back of your hand casually. I know hitman kinda seems like a slow burn stylistically but trust me man nothing feels better or memeworthy sliding and beating a mission way shorter than it would be without the exploits... think about it!
as a big fan of speedruns id watch that
bro i hit that shot 2nd try on motorcade interception. i’m feeling lucky😭
Looking at the first mission, the Sapienza mansion is like a stealth remake of this level
I WISH THEY WOULD RE MASTER THESE OLD HITMAN GAMES FOR THE NEW CONSOLES💯👍🤔
Damn. Now that I am done with hitman3, Im thinking about reinstalling a good old hitman... hesitating between H2 and Blood money tho...
I loved this game and contracts i really hope they will make a remake with the same flair i think im going crazy for that XD
Would you be willing to do a suit-only version of this game?
“Lead me oh Heavenly Father in the path of right.
I walk alone and stumble in the dark.
Show me the light and I’ll go there.
Let me find peace in my own heart,
And save me from my enemies."
Me completeling missions with mass murder and high aggression

Hitman 2 to me is hardest game in franchise
i just did rush in every mission and kill all the enemies 🤣 (guerilla attack)
That was actually Agent 17 that shot at you.
Alwesome! Eidos should remaster or remake this game.. One of the best hitman game.
the agency will always find uniforms that fit well to agent 47 and no person ever looks at the bar code tattoo on his back .
The manhole gave me 007 vibes 🤣
It’s a different stealth than Metal Gear.... in Metal Gear they know Snake or some other person kills everyone after he leaves..... 47 makes everything look like an accident, an unfortunate act of God.... and only a few know he exists..... yeah it is a different stealth
The best old hitman game
Ha I like your stealth walkthroughs
Can someone help me out I'm tripping. When this remaster came out I watched his playthrough and now it has been re released? I swear I saw the same playthrough ages ago!
Edit: I just so happened to search hitman 2 silent assassin playthrough on KZclip tonight.
Guess he Just made a compilation of all the missions and posted in a single video
42:13 looks like the building that gets shot to shit by the helicopter in the first hitman movie
I usually just kill the guards since it doesn't hurt the rating as long as it's only 2 in Hitman Silent assassin.
11:08 better than fed ex
One of my favorite games... eva!
I remember getting this on Easter
I think the scarecrow’s outfit is the circus guy from the Rotterdam missions..
They should remake Silent Assassin, & Blood Money with the new Hitman graphics, abilities, & controls.
@Aaron Walls Eh, I dunno, quite a few of them were unwelcome. Namely, ludicrous sneaking speed, the incredibly clunky ranged weapon use, the OP melee weapons, the minimap + (thankfully reduced compared to Absolution) instinct instead of full sized real time map and, of course, lack of Jesper Kyd, Vivienne McKee, gloves, healthbar, binoculars and dual silverballers.
Seb there’s SO many more contrails and gadgets and whatnot in the new Hitman game...too many to list
@Aaron Walls I haven't played that game nor watched a game play. Can you be more specific?
@Seb All of them. Everything you can do in the new Hitman games.
Which new abilities are you saying they should add?
Idk if you do it on purpose but I appreciate all the ads being in the very beginning of the video
the Car Bomb is the best option in the Park Mission, gutting two men together with a bowie is impossible.
You should mess around on blood money again bro that’s my favorite
28:48 The music reminds me of Silent Hill :)
"All my commentary is live"
Didn't you launch video files on-screen on the first missions though? Or was it just a joke?
Where did u get this hd collection i jus got the trilogy on ebay but it didn't say hd edition but has all 3 games included
Hitman: World of Assassination serves perfectly as the end of the franchise.
I'd like to see them now revamp Silent Assassin & Contracts.
Contracts is already half a remake of Codename 47, so no need for that one anymore & Blood Money was packaged with Absolution in the HD Collection anyway.
Never notices how she mispronounced Carniwarez. :)
If you're fast, you can shoot Von Kamprad off the balcony in the first second. I can't remember if you can salvage the rest of the mission if you do that.
she mispronounced a fictional company?
Awesome
The new games are great as far as gameplay, but 47 had more personality is these games. He’s like an android in the new ones.
In all the 47 games since blood money they make him have a soft spot for diana and only for her... but in Silent Assasin 2 they showed you a man looking for redemption of his evil while striking a friendship with a priest, but evil overtook the good and he is back at it... silent assasin has the best arc in my opinion, followed by contracts and his reminscence of old missions while he bled out (and the detail of all the missions being at night and raining, meaning he a not so fondly memory of them... and as far as gameplay goes i'd go for blood money.
Damn so many things what you do are to hard i must repead many missions so often its no easyer to do them
In the beginning how can i open door...it says press E
But when i press E i looks through key
"over 10 years old" well uuh... well, technically the truth, yes :D its nearly 20 years old. and yes, great looking game for its era!
oh, these were recorded in 2014? well, okay, in that case it makes more sense to say "over 10 years old"
1:10:40, that's some nice ass music
1:06:30 Contacts? Are you shitting me? Have you seriously thought it was called Contacts for the last 20 years!? Dude!
36:18 Is it necessary to change back into Hitman's clothes? :)
