@Jingo
Thank you for the comment, did the HVT run into the back alley? Actually, he shouldn't,
well... there are things?! :0
Anyway , i'm glad you played the whole series and had fun with it.
Best regards

Just finished your "stories" set of missions. Very nicely done on the entire set of maps! Very high quality. For this mission, I did a surgical extraction using the back alley with 3 Assaulters with MP5SDs and one Sniper in support. I was getting ready to assault what I thought was the HVT location when the locked door on my left opened and the HVT rushed into my squad. He was followed by one of his guards. Firefight broke out, bullets flying within inches of both the HVT and innocent bystanders. But I pulled it off first try. Clean run! Fun ending to a great set of maps.

Thank you for playing & leaving a comment.
Your different approaches read very interesting.
Glad you tried different ways.

Outstanding map. I did one successful run using the alley back area and securing the HVT before he could flee his secure office. I did a second, less successful one where I actually caused the HVT to leave his office and used the CIA undercover agent to apprehend him before he could leave the dining area. Got involved in a massive shootout using a sound suppressed Glock 19 and amazingly it managed to kill everything in front of it. The high velocity FMJs got me over the line in that round.

Sounds good, I will check it out!

The fix is ​​out.
The HVT now moves around most of the building.
This should prevent the issue of getting stuck in furniture.
But will also change the gameplay of the map as there are more access points now.

You are welcome! I got Hitman vibes from playing this map, having a whole area that feels lived in to explore, without the whole place been jam packed with wandering civilians. I hope the dev team can look at the chair issue. It would be nice to have people sitting around a cramped table without all merging into it when they get up. All in all, I don't think there's a whole lot that you can do about it without making the scene look weird, I agree.

Thank you Kris for your feedback,appreciate it.
I'm glad to hear that you like the layout of the map.
I haven't had the problem with the HVT and the small round table before, so thank you for the tip.
I had accepted as a less than optimal solution the fact that the other civilians are standing in the tables , even if it is not very nice to look at.
Previously had the chairs across the tables, but that looked even worse to me.
I hope that the developers will revise the spawn behavior of the AI ​​so that the AI ​​really spawns where you set the marker for it in the editor.
Also,sometimes likes the AI sit next to a chair in the middle of nowhere or is stuck in other interiors.
I've had situations where the hostages got up from the sofa and got stuck in the table next to it, although everything in front of the sofa was empty.
I'll definitely take a look at the thing with the HVT and the enemy in the VIP room.
Cheers

Great map, I like the design, at first I thought this would be a big party with lots of enemies. Turns out it's a more thought out and realistic scene that can be played with many different approaches. There is one major bug though that I discovered, the enemy HVT spawned inside the little round table and couldn't be removed from it. A minor though repetitive bug I noticed was enemies and civilians becoming trapped inside the furniture since when they get up from the chairs they are directly inside a table and get stuck there. There was also a case of an enemy becoming stuck inside the sofa in the VIP room. I think experimenting a little with the placements to find solutions would help, it's a shame that the AI can't get up in a different direction other than right in front of a chair which is what causes the bug.

Amazing design though, it really looks and feels like a believable place! 9/10, just -1 for the placements not suiting the AI

I played it coming from the left side too, it turned out way more difficult of course. But in my pre analysis of the map I tried to guess where the HVI would be and guessed right so it didn't make sense for me to use the harder path. But I get what you mean. And "easier" isn't necessarly a bad thing, it can end being pretty fun and look good in the end :) You know what I'll make another replay from the other approach so it shows both ^^ Good to see you've made some other maps I'll check em out.

Here are 2 new maps "Double Extract" & "Clubnight"

It was clear to me in advance that you would find the simplest way quickly.
Your tactical understanding is obviously too good for that ^^

Yes, there are several paths on the map with different levels of difficulty.
The path you took was the easiest. This one was more or less for the Lonewolf Run.

I just like it when you can experiment on a map and there are several ways to reach your goal. However, this also means that some tactics turn out to be extremely efficient
and therefore easier afterwards.

But for me, the path is the goal, and that is fun playing and trying out.
I design my maps according to this scheme.

Thanks again for your replays and support

cheers

I wanted to record two replays for this map as there's plenty of approachs but I went in the MK17 CQC and chose the path of least resistance straight to the HVI. https://youtu.be/3lpbrxtyx9A Thanks again for the maps and I hope to see more from you in the future. I've added the IP stories to my personnal favorite collection. Cheers.
