Just as how Hitman 2 allows you to load Hitman 1's levels into the game if you own the first game, Hitman 3 allows you to load the levels from the last two games into the third game if you own them. Therefore I've been playing the Hitman 1 levels in Hitman 3.
In fact, because I've played so much of the first game's levels, I decided to give myself a challenge. I would get the hallowed Silent Assassin, Suit Only rating in my first runthrough of every level. This involves never changing out of your starting outfit, and killing your targets as stealthily as possible (eg no one spots you killing them or finds their bodies, or you engineer an accident that kills them) while also not killing any non-targets. I could do this because I've played the first game's levels countless times already, so I know them inside and out, and I'm familiar with the behavior and patrol routes of guards and NPCs. Sure, some of the equipment unlocks are different in this game, so I had to adapt some of my strategies, but overall it was going well.
That is, until I reached the Colorado level. This level is interesting for two main reasons. Firstly, the whole map is hostile to you if you're in your default suit, because you're sneaking into a heavily-guarded militia training camp. This meant that I had to find the right routes and time them perfectly to weave my way through the guards, and then quietly take out my targets. The second interesting thing, however, is that the first time you play this level, you are given an additional objective to break into a biometrically-locked bunker so that you can move the plot forward. This requirement is removed for subsequent playthroughs. This means that getting Silent Assassin, Suit Only on your first playthrough of Colorado is immensely, immensely challenging. The door will only unlock if it scans the face of one of the targets. This means you have to either drag the dead target down to the bunker (and believe me, the guards do not react very happily to the sight of you dragging a dead body towards a bunker) or use a 3D printer to print a replica of the guy's face. The printer, of course, is located in the most heavily guarded area of the map. Furthermore, it's loud, so even if you do manage to sneak your way to the printer, as soon as you turn it on, people will come investigate.
Ultimately, though, I managed to pull off a Silent Assassin, Suit Only first run on the Colorado level, and personally I consider this one of my crowning achievements in gaming.
