text: You seem to think that because you, apparently, wrote this article, no one else should be allowed to correct it or have opinions about it. As it is, none of the information available is very concrete, and the question is whether or not Hitman 5 is deserving of its own article or whether it should just have a mention on the series article. I see that you redid my entire clean up, and I'll attempt to be as civil about that as I can, but please do note that I'm not one to beat around the bush: There are several obvious grammatical errors in that text. I'm going to revert the text back to the corrected version and upon request or continued reverting without any kind of discussion, I will point every single on of them out to you. --Or-whatever (talk) 12:31, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

There's also one referencing Eidos's financial difficulties I'll try to dig up. --Lenin and McCarthy  |  (Complain here) 00:56, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm deleting the World Premier Gameplay Trailer section. It's totally unsourced, and basically just wording out what people could simply just go to YouTube and see for themselves. No point in it, it can be mentioned in the article as, I can admit it's worth noting, but this article doesn't need a section that just explains what trailer shows. • GunMetal Angel 12:06, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

message: "At least one portion of the game will be set in Chicago, but it has been confirmed that the rest of the game will take place within the US."
Unless something has changed in the last five minutes, I am pretty sure Chicago is still part of the United States. Maybe we should reword this as something like "Most of the game will take place in the United States, in locations such as Chicago."Rprince418 (talk) 00:06, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

message: The article currently says that in the US you can only get access to Sniper Challenge if you order from Gamestop. While I'm not in the US, I got my access by pre-ordering through Steam, which is also available in the US. Is the article currently wrong, or is the Steam pre-order location-limited? --Itsacon (talk) 10:48, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:   that whole section looks poxy and out of place. i think it should be deleted. 

message: Why was this removed? Is it not important to inform people that they will pay for an expensive product that suffers from a game breaking bug?

These need to be included also. So far only the poor reviews have been counted, and this is not an accurate representation of the mixed reviews as a whole. Vember94 (talk) 16:17, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reviews that need adding. 

message: The article states in numerous places, including the lead and a lot of the reviews, that this game was different from other Hitman games and that a lot of people saw this as a bad thing. So what are the differences then? Maybe could be added into Dev or Gameplay? Nanonic (talk) 14:48, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Differences? 

message: I'm going to expand on the gameplay section. You can use the environment to kill targets such as shutting them in a bomb chamber, rigging electric cables to water supply etc. This is the first entry in the game where 47 is able to hide from enemies in bins as well as storing unconscious bodies.Wyliecoyote1990 (talk) 22:25, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm not talking a full fledged sequel section, Strongjam. Just at least a mention of it. Fallout (series) mentions Fallout 4 and details on that are "thin" as well. I believe Fallout 3 used to have one as well (but I'm guessing it was moved to the series article). I have seen articles having mentions of a sequel when it is nothing but rumors (and will just stay rumors). —DangerousJXD (talk) 22:02, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  The Hitman (video game series) does have some information on the upcoming title. I think that's the best place for it, but I'm not opposed to a mention here if someone wants to add it. — Strongjam (talk) 00:55, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

message: Would anyone consider this game to be open world? If so, could you please provide sources, and if not, please explain. ThanksDohvahkiin (talk) 18:44, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: There isn't a mention of it being open world in the article so I don't know what you're referring to. The game isn't open world if that's what you're asking. There's a quote in the article saying so. The game walks players through a series of large levels in a straight line. It's not an actual open world game. —DangerousJXD (talk) 21:21, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, thanks for the help. I've heard it has largish levels, I just didn't know whether they're large enough or connected, considering I've never played the game before.Dohvahkiin (talk) 00:40, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

message: While the fact that the intro takes place 20 years prior is pretty well established, where does the idea that the game takes place 7 years after Absolution come from? Proof of this?
