Battle Terrain

Blasted Cliffs

While I like 47 as much as I do Price in this case I think the terrain favors the military sharpshooter whose more use to such things then Hitman. Unless there's settings I'm not aware of..not played the latest Hitman game so not sure on that until I look it up, the only real terrain he's had to contend with is the winter in the one Japan attack and maybe those cliffs overlooking the one guy's compound. 47 could try to hide true, he is stealth incarnate after all, but Price knows the sneaking around game as well and would be looking at places where the man would try to strike from. This is no urban setting which would make it easier for Agent 47 if it was, in this case Price just has to locate and snipe.

47 is every bit as talented with a gun as price, and I feel like a terrain with bad visibility really benefits 47.

[Guest sithisson]

Bad visibility works both ways and he'd still have to contend with having to get himself settle in a spot that could not be spotted quickly. 47 's reputation is good I'd admit but a lot of it comes from being able to not being found within an urban or suburban setting and slipping in as someone else. Price's rep holds on doing impressive shots like taking down a Pave Low. Again Price's training seems to be something one would have a better grasp on in this terrain then anything indoctrinated into 47.

If we take it one step further than terrain and sharpshooting, which whilst I think favour 47 could be argued both ways, then we can fall back on experience and extra skills.

 

47's training has been going on since he was a child and he was already a great sharpshooter then, since then he has come up against countless enemies including other marksmen exactly like Price. He will know exactly what Price is likely to do and be able to act accordingly. Then there is the extra skills; whilst Price is good at hand to hand we have 47 who is a master assassin and experienced with a whole range of other weapons as well. Again, the experience and training he has received make him just that much better prepared for someone like Price.

 

I see it this way, Price will find the best place to hide - the one spot where he can literally blast anyone in any direction but stay perfectly hidden. Except... 47 will already have taken that into account and be able to snipe him just before he gets settled in. 

[Guest sithisson]

That scenario could indeed happen but let's not forgo Price's own thinking in this. He might very well think the same and set a means of an ambush situation to try to draw 47 out. His own paranoia instinct, well in his series they are in fact out to get him and the US but that's a whole other story, would let him be wary of any situation that would seem too easy.

 

I'd give 47's training as slightly more well rounded but I will not suggest Price at least goes down too easy without some sort of damage done to his opponent. Price after all is not some sort of hired gun or security/police set in trying to seek out 47; he;s just as eager for the kill as the Agent is.
