GGs to everyone who played, all the runs were really creative and awesome to watch. Thanks to KOats for helping me in designing the contract, and of course to Atrioc for hosting the competition. Would love to do it again in 2024.

[@ChrisFoolBH]

Nice level David, you’re a goat fr

[@AfonsoOliveira12]

Really hope to see more of this. I don't even play Hitman, but I go crazy with these videos

[@Teinve]

Do you expect people to do the boosts they do? Or do you like plan for it at all? Or is it like "wait they can do that? this breaks my map"

[@jotairpontes]

@@Teinve He doesnt create a map, the map is already in the game, he just selects new targets within the existing map and npcs. That being said, it is hard to create a challenging and fun contract, there is skill in that, for sure. As for bugs, boosts, and crazy stuff in general, they - good contract creators like davidredsox - are very aware of those, but applying those strats in a new contract takes a lot of skill, game knowledge, preparation, testing, refining and time (that's why a lot crazy runs usually show up near the end of the "1 week contract competition" that Atrioc makes).

[@_dracz_]

I've never even played Hitman and was still absolutely riveted throughout the entire video. Absolutely insane. Your presentation and breakdowns of each of the runs really made it super easy to follow. Kudos!

​@@josefernandez4423yeah I've never played hitman, we're honestly seen much of other people playing it. But I got what's going on and it's crazy how people figured out things. Like maybe they already knew the map I don't know exactly that was so fantastic to watch

You know what would make these competitions better? If you gave out a smaller bonus prize for the person that does the fastest from each starting point. This would make it so more people tried different starting spots for a chance at the bonus money.

[@EDoyl]

Your Miami contract competition video is easily a top 10 gaming video on youtube because of how well it's presented. When I think of hitman I still think of how my jaw dropped when, even with a run using a clock overflow to beat the game in agent 47 seconds, "it's not as good as Tupla". This video nails the feeling of a great direct sequel. While the Miami video slowly built up the speedrunning strats until it gets crazy, this one opens with the best reasonable run you can do with normal strats, implying that the whole video will be end-game Miami levels of crazy strats. And then it delivers. This is REALLY good. This channel is what got me into the series btw.

Hitman actually has some of the most creative and entertaining speedrunning. I'm actually glad Big A has shined so much light on it. It's insane how so many people came to so many unique answers to get the lowest time. The fact that everyone started in different areas and were all successful is so interesting

[@jeremyroberts8822]

It goes to show just how well designed every aspect of these latest hitman games are. I’m super hyped to see what IO Interactive do with their upcoming James Bond game. That has crazy potential to be something special they’re the perfect devs for it

[@Its-moon4u]

That bomb launch reminds me of that one cod clip where they shot a grenade launcher of the stairs to the other side of map bouncing off of and through the building to the cliff. Also this challenge was so fun to watch and was interesting to see how people exploited the games in ways I never knew existed until now. Props to everyone who joined, everyone did amazing!

i started played hitman because of your videos. kinda forgot about it for a year (mostly bc i stopped my gamepass subscription) but when i saw the vid of you challenging streamers and this vod two months ago, i instantly fell in love with this game again. in the same month my bf got the game for me on steam this time and i've poured 115+ hours since. even with those hours i still don't feel any ounce of boredom with hitman at all! just wanted to share this no one asked comment because this video made me realize how much i really really love hitman. this showcases how beautiful the game is, especially the community who until now would always come up with creative and mind-blowing ways to play it. the way you talk about this game with so much passion is so, heartwarming? lol so thank you for introducing my favorite game of all time to me big A 😭 i know a lot of your viewers also started playing hitman because of you. you're doing amazing things for the community and i can't wait for this year's competition!

Johnny is not just a Gigachad, he’s a fucking Terachad. Pulling off a double-ricochet bomb launch to land the bomb perfectly next to a target to fling him over the edge before NPCs can even turn around is a feat of game mechanics understanding and trigonometry combined with physics that is simply beyond comprehension. It legitimately shouldn’t be possible for a human to pull it off, but Terachad Johnny does it like it’s nothing.
