Trivia / Hitman 2: Silent Assassin

• Creator's Favorite Episode: David Bateson (the voice of 47) considers Silent Assassin to be his favorite game in the series.
• Dummied Out:
  • Pre-release
    • The rosary beads in the ending were originally planned to be a substitute for the fiber wire throughout the game. It must have been cut late, as there's still a spot for it on the gun wall.
  • Early released versions
    • The posters in the India levels were based more on realistic religious themes in some early releases and were changed to more generic ones to avoid offending people.
    • Terminal Hospitality is based on a real life Sikh holy site, and had an altar with weapons on it. Backlash from such communities likely changed this.
    • Agent Smith originally referred the citizens as Towelheads; take a wild guess why it was removed.
    • Back in the Gontranno church, 47's weapon display has two spots that are never filled. From the outlines behind them, they seem to be the fiber wire and 47's rosary; both of which he has on him at all times. Also, if you use the 'all weapons' cheat, a cigarette lighter appears in your inventory.
• Follow the Leader:
  • By the end of the Japan assignment, you will have trekked through mountainous tundra, dodged snipers and dozens of anachronistic sci-fi ninjas, defeated the best laser security system money could buy, and infiltrated a massive fortress. So basically Metal Gear Solid. The perk here, at least, is that you get to blow up a helicopter.
  • This is also the only Hitman game where you can stow away in the back of trucks carrying boxes.
