Slight updates to rules in case anyone is interested, after consulting with mendietinha:
- I have retimed all full game runs, corrected any discrepancies
- I have also tightened up the rules so that rating screen is required to verify IGT on every map but Final Test and Freeform Training; the timer HUD is not accurate enough
The funny thing is, the person in "first" place any% full game was not even running the right game... they were playing on H2 legacy pack.

Honestly incredible this was verified to begin with.
Wow really! geez, glad that the boards have been tighten up though, it was a wasteland before!
Deleted any% pro category because of general lack of interest (a mere 2 levels of Paris/ Sapienza had dedicated any% pro records). Don't want to keep moderating a dead category, and this is in line with the current policy of HITMAN 2 (2018) and HITMAN 3 (2021), which also do not use difficulty subcategories for any%.
Added Sarajevo Six (PS4 exclusive) bonus missions at player request. The inclusion is a bit controversial due to platform exclusivity, but if you don't play on PS4 feel free to ignore. Will be adding past records that I know of to the leaderboard as well as more recent runs.
Update to rules regarding rating screens.
All SA and SASO runs will still require rating screens due to possible discrepancy between SA Indicator HUD and rating screen's SA rank.
If no rating screen is available (for any% runs), submit the time on the timer HUD for Freeform Training, Final Test, Paris Helicopter Exit (as exits work different for these levels).
For every other level/ exit, if no rating screen is available (for any% runs), submit the time on the timer HUD +1 second (to account for possible discrepancies in timing).
Rules Update
- Future submissions (as of September 20, 2021) must have game audio audible in the background, due to concerns of splicing and/ or slowing down the game and speeding up recording later
- Future individual level submissions (as of September 20, 2021) must be a continuous video without recording skips or splices. Submissions with any kind of recording skip will require a backup recording without skips, whether that be through Twitch/ Youtube livestream, or even pointing an external camera (like phone camera) at your TV/ PC screen.
- Minor recording skips are allowed on console full game runs (at moderator discretion), while PC full game runs will need a seamless recording to be verified.
The Hitman 2016 and Hitman 2 (2018) games will be de-listed starting January 26, 2023.
If you had any interest whatsoever in trying out the 2016 and 2018 game engines, now's the time to buy those games.
Hitman 2016 is probably the most
