[edit] Article Name Change

I only put this at the top because it is important. I feel the title should be changed to Agent 47 instead of Codename 47. He has been referred to as Agent in the last 3 games of the series, so i feel "Codename" is incorrect. Either 47 or Agent 47 I feel will suffice. BishopTutu 18:26, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

I concur. JaderVason 00:46, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I've moved the article back to "Agent." Like I said, Agent is more commonly used throughout the series than "Codename". Also, because he is, officially, nameless, and is referred to as "47" or "Agent 47," I feel it is more sufficient. ♣ Klptyzm ^{Chat wit me § Contributions} ♣ 00:09, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What if...?

"... combined with his exceptional criminal lineage, endowed him with levels of strength, speed, stamina, and intelligence significantly above the human norm. (In real life, possessing an extra chromosone can lead to problems such as infertility, Down Syndrome and premature death.)"

I find this fascinatingly curious. What happens if someone possesses less than normal quantity of chromosomes?

[edit] The inherited traits

The article describes how 47 inherited all kindsa things from his fathers (speed from Lee Hong, intelligence from Fuchs, etc.). Has any of this actually been flat out stated anywhere? All I've heard is that the fathers' genetic what-so-evers were used as a basis, but what 47 specifically gained from each of the fathers hasn't been estabilished.

Or..? -- Kalkku 29, August, 2006

It hasn't. Pure especulation if you ask me, nothing else.

[edit] star trek reference removed

"...which comes from the numerous references to the number in Star Trek..." And I'm going to make sure it stays removed, until you find a citation. (from the creators, not some magazine conjecture) W00t-on-a-shtick 01:39, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

You don't think there should be some mention of 47's in other instances? Without speculation, we could put in a link to [1]

[edit] Ortmier

It is spelled Ortmier, not Ort-myer. This has been confirmed by Hitman: Blood money. Look at the subtitles.

I already pointed this out before the game was even released, look at the archives of the discussion in Hitman: Blood Money. --nlitement ^[talk] 15:25, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WA2000 Sniper Rifle

"The rifle wasn't clearly considered a trademark of 47 until Hitman: Contracts, in which the gun is carried as a default weapon on several missions. In the earlier games it is more of 'just a weapon among the others'."

What?! Have you people never seen the title screen of Codename 47?

Well, the cover-art shows 47 wielding the R93 instead of the WA2000, as does the introductory scene. Furthermore, the WA2000 can't be acquired until realtively late in the game, and thus doesn't end up playing a very significant role in 47's arsenal. --Kalkku

[edit] 47's history

Where does the information about 47's early life (rabbit, slingshots etc) come from? I've never seen it referenced in the game.

It's from the 'diary of Ort-Meyer' on the Htiman 2 website. There's a link in the article. VJ Emsi 10:38, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Somebody help me please!!!

In Hitman: Codename 47 directory I've found a file named "resources.xml" (C:\Hitman - Codename 47\Setup\Locale\language-English.zip). There are all the game dialogues, mission briefings and all the game's text. In that file, I've found some really weird sentences, that aren't involved in the game, or I couldn't find them anywhere in the game... They are:

• (Possibly in "The Setup" mission) "Freeze - let me see some ID! Real slow now!"
• (Possibly in "The Setup" mission) "Hey - you there. Stand still! Who are you?"
• (Possibly in "The Setup" mission) "Stop! Police - identify yourself!"
• (Possibly in "The Setup" mission) "Tango 6 - 3 Delta - 1 Yankee. Proceed with caution. Suspect is armed and dangerous!" (maybe a talk between SWAT members)
• (Possibly in "Meet Your Brother" mission) "You - along with your brothers - are my true children. Now rid me of that rambunctious renegade!" (maybe a talk between Ort. Meyer and Mr. 48 clones)

There are many other sentences too, but I'm most worried about these mission descriptions in laptop:

• (Possibly at the end of the game) "Your mission is over. Surrender your self to the police and await further instructions. We will contact you. Diana"
• (Possibly at the end of the game) "ABORT - ABORT - ABORT RETURN TO BASE IMPENDING DANGER THE AGENCY WILL DISAVOW YOU RETURN IMMEDIATELY"
• (Possibly at the end of the game) "ABORT - ABORT - ABORT SEVERE DANGER DO NOT ATTEMPT FURTHER ADVANCES THIS IS AN ORDER"

Everybody knows that when 47 kills Ort. Meyer, the game is over, and there's no after mission description in laptop. What are those sentences?

Write everything in the world you know about this sentences, please! I'm in turmoil for this problem since 2002! I WILL AWARD THE USER THAT HELPS ME SOLVING THIS PROBLEM! --Aeternus 17:39, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

It's simple; the developers put them in there, but cut them at the last minute. It's not an uncommon thing to find unused sound files.

I thought it was something more interesting, but thanks anyway! --Aeternus 17:25, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Wow, you need to get a life, "ILL PAY THE PERSON WHO FINES OUT WHAT THESE MEAN" lame, totally pathetic, it is not a big deal at all.

• Dude, it's Hitman. You should expect this kind of reaction. Obviously I'm joking. Shadowrun 19:44, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] HITMAN PICTURES!!!!

Anyone who apperciates hitman is going to enjoy the recent photos applied to the page! Anyone who hasnt checked, please have a look!

• Which, given the use of copyrighted pics anyway, I think a more clear photo of 47 should be used. Yeah, he looks badass with the rifle in the shadows, but better pics do exist. Shadowrun 19:42, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barcode Tattoo

Since both the laboratory that Doctor Ort-Meyer AND IO Interactive are located in Europe, the barcode would more likely signify the 9th of May, since the usage in Europe is YY/MM/DD...and I have so changed the page. DannyBoy2k 01:52, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

And, since someone changed it, I changed it once more, du to the above reason. DannyBoy2k 22:44, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sources and References

Can someone please find some sources and references for the "personality" section? ♣ Klptyzm ^{Chat wit me § Contributions} ♣ 23:54, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anti-hero?

Would 47 count as an anti-hero? He's listed as such on the List of fictional anti-heroes page, and I wouldn't actually consider assassinating people for profit the acts of a traditional hero. I'm not knocking him or anything because, after all, "the ends justify the means" in this game's universe...right? WillyFourEyes 13:03, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure...I'll search this out further in the mean time. I'll get back to you in a second. ♣ Klptyzm ^{Chat wit' me § Contributions} ♣ 16:02, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure about 47 being an anti-hero, but almost everyone he kills does deserve it.
