Freelancer Day 12, Part 3 - HARDCORE - HITMAN World of Assassination

Playing Freelancer, Hardcore. Day 12-3.
Last part of the day.

On Hardcore the game is set to Master difficulty with all of it's changes to gameplay, which I'm not very familiar with, but on top of that all territories are now alerted so targets and suspects see through 47's disguises and any failure always ends the whole campaign. Completing the prestige objective in each mission is also mandatory now and failing to do so fails the campaign, death means losing ALL Merces (instead of only half), couriers and item boxes are no longer marked on map and suspect tells are not indicated with an icon on the screen.
But I'm sure you'll be glad to hear that all the old glitches are still present in this mode. 'Arrange meeting' prestige objective still doesn't work despite being listed as 'fixed' in the patch notes and electrocuting people still can't be used for 'accident - collateral' objective, so don't even bother with those. I also learned that 'Perfect Shooter' requires one-hit kills, not just 'all bullets hit something'. Dumb.

I'll probably reach mastery level 100 before unlocking the Bruiser Suit. :(
