Who orderd the killings?

[อานนท์]

So maybe I missed something but who ordered all the hits? Was it Professor? I understand that he orded hit on himself so he could finally kill 47, but why he wanted to kill all the other guys who were part of the cloning project?

[Floyd]

If I remember correctly, Dr. Ort-Meyer ordered the death of his four partners because they all disagreed as they wanted to use the doctor's clones for their own motives. :)

You should add a spoiler to this, since some may have not finished this game. This is done by using "[" then "spoiler" and then "]".
Yes, Floyd is correct, but you are not. Ort-Meyer isn't really trying to kill 47. At the very final of the game, have you tried NOT shooting him? :)

But didn't 47 kill Ort meyer in Hitman 3? It's a long time since I have played it I would sure like to play hitman 1 because it's the only hitman game I haven't played... =(

[Tzanetos]

Hitman contracts/3 has a bunch of remade missions from the first one. I haven't played contracts, but the final mission is probably in contracts too.

[Turtler]

Pretty much what the other said. Ort-Meyer was always the brains behind this project and a control freak to boot, so when his partners became powerful enough to be a threat and pushy enough to inconvenience his view, he fiewed it was time to start cutting down anyone who could threaten his control, including his lab assistant.

As for the other issue, you're both sort of right. Ort-Meyer is clearly ordering the next gen clones to kill 47 because he thought he was obsolete adn this was a good way to test the next batch. The only reason 47 is able to approach him close enough to make his final coup is because Ort-Meyer thinks he's the successful one.

If Ort-Meyer figured out who it was, I don't think he would have wanted to kill 47. He's too competent a scientist for that, as shown by the nonstandard game over. But I do think he would have wanted to basically kill 47's independence and agency, make him a tool in his hands. Which is not a much better fate, if at all.

[Nostaforta]

I think 47 wants his identity to not be known for other people accept for the ones he trusts (no one) and that's why he killed everyone that was involved with the cloning of Mr. 47, i am not sure this is why but it could be surely be the reason.

[Jurassic Fart 2]

47 doesn't want his identity to be known for one very SIMPLE reason: You cannot be caught if you cannot be identified. When you know yourself to be a target from any shadow, how can you hope to survive? Nobody will see you coming…every face can be the one of he that will silently snuff out your life, with none the wiser.

Besides, the idea of the doctor being the principal client is utterly ridiculous, as he was ultimately targeted and eliminated…further muddying the waters of clarity. Following the chain of events, including sutscene revelations, throughout the franchise history, even as far as Hitman 6, one never sees who are the players behind the scenes.

As far as this game, Codenme 47, goes, check out Contracts, the third game in the series, which is essentially a reboot [redux] of this one, without the jungle.

As for 47's reasons for killing everyone involved with his cloning, it is also very simple, and not at all complex: Revenge. How would YOU feel being held captive, being brainwashed and tortured, for over a decade? Speaking as one who actually HAS suffered a similar fate, 47's motives REALLY aren't that hard to puzzle out; they are NOT a puzzle.

P.S.: I'm not saying I'm a cloned assassin or anything so stupid s that, but I actually WAS beaten and tortured for almost two decades. The brainwashing never took. For some silly reason, I seem to have an anger management problem, and I have been known to put a person or two in the hospital with little apparent provocation.

Then don't hover your cursor over the hidden text next time.

So you think you're the lore expert of this series?
Something about what you said is wrong and I will deal with you later when I have the time.

I'm not talking about the spoiler tags, i'm talking about the posts at the side, the posts under the "More Discussions" text. When you hover over them they display the contents of the post. Unfortunately, the formatting doesn't work so all I see is "[/spoiler]" instead of black text.

I'm not an idiot, I know how spoiler tags work.

Well in that case, don't hover your cursor over a title of a thread that looks like it's story-related if you don't want to get spoiled.

I can't know if it is story related until I hover over it.

Looks like someone has not been reading the notes that the targets in this game have dropped. People are not making ♥♥♥♥ up, they know what they're talking about because they understand what's going on between the five fathers of 47.

It is NOT a reboot. Nobody ever said that and you only think so because the game remaked most of the missions (and they're not the only missions either, there are some original ones). They are just 47's flashbacks while he was suffering a gunshot wound by a suspected police officer after one of his missions in the events of Blood Money.
If you actually played the game to the end then you would learn that the objectives in the final mission has two targets that were already wiped out. Do you know who those targets were?
The same two targets that you get to kill in Blood Money's "Curtains Down".
So no, the game is not a reboot; it took place in the same original timeline between the aftermath of "Curtains Down" and before the start of "Flatline". Even Diana said something about 47's wound in the cutscene before that mission.

As for 47's reasons for killing everyone involved with his cloning, it is also very simple, and not at all complex: Revenge. How would YOU feel being held captive, being brainwashed and tortured, for over a decade? Speaking as one who actually HAS suffered a similar fate, 47's motives REALLY aren't that hard to puzzle out; they are NOT a puzzle.

He wasn't held captive. He always lived in the lab during his young years, training with his fellow cloned peers ever since he was born.
He didn't exactly killed everyone when he returned. The reason why he came back to the asylum is the same reason why he went to China, Colombia, Hungary, etc. To kill a target as accordingly in his contract. Except it was a trap where the professor called the SWAT team to eliminate 47 as he was "causing chaos" to his asylum.
Meanwhile, 47 recognised the target and learns that he's in the same hospital where he was raised. With the help of an ICA agent, he found the basement where he had to kill every 'superior' clone (and staff members) because they were out to kill him and then afterwards, he finally confronted his final father and ended him.
The first mission of Contracts shows an aftermath flashback of the asylum where it seems that almost everyone outside the basement were slaughtered by the SWAT team and not 47 himself.
Otherwise, the nutcases in the basement wouldn't be wandering around aimlessly and instead just lying around dead.

P.S.: I'm not saying I'm a cloned assassin or anything so stupid s that, but I actually WAS beaten and tortured for almost two decades. The brainwashing never took. For some silly reason, I seem to have an anger management problem, and I have been known to put a person or two in the hospital with little apparent provocation.

My sympathies but just so you know: if I sounded harsh, don't take it personal.
