challenge packs for legacy stages?

[gpolg]

i have to say that i enjoyed challenge packs a lot.
they were a really nice idea and tbh more enjoyable than elusive targets even.
and considering that 90% of H2 playerbase has the legacy stages too, it might be a nice idea to add challenge packs for legacy stages as well, using the less used fun disguises.

specifically
paris as vampire magician
sapienza as hippie.
in marakesh as Masseur
bangok as the drummer
colorado as scarecrow
hokkaido as baseball player or motorcyclist

I was just thinking about how much I would like to unlock the Street Performer outfit in Sapienza.

There were a bunch of escalations that weren't ported over either, not sure what their reasoning for either was but I'm sure they'll be readded in time.
I only bought Hitman 2016 after the GOTY dropped (I had no interest in the episodic release ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥) so I don't know when they were added.

I'd think not to flood with content, and also because a lot of them plain sucked. There's a reason why escalations are 3 steps now instead of 5.

The above listed challenges ain't much better either. So many 'kill 3+ targets with an unwieldy weapon and do this twice'. I hope that if they return they change them a bit so you aren't constantly loading or just pick a specific contract.

Oh yeah absolutely, a bunch of the Legacy Escalations were just flat out not enjoyable to play and I won't complain if they never return.
I did quite enjoy the Legacy Challenge packs however since some of them were quite fun to try and figure out (Himmapan Horror and Scarecrow in particular), I'd also like to see them return for some of the rewards (specifically the Masamune, Claw Hammer and Antique Lethal Syringe).
Then again, Miami has 2 challenge packs for it now, so what's to stop a new set of challenge packs being made for the Legacy Maps alongside the old ones.
