Printable versions of the keyboard layouts are stored in the directory where you
installed Hitman: Codename 47.
Controls
Hitman is controlled with a combination of the keyboard and mouse/joystick. The
controls are divided into game-action (moving, doing things), selecting inventory
(OSD) and dialog.
Movement
Hitman can move almost anywhere. He can
climb stairs and ladders.
Sneaking
When Hitman sneaks, enemies cannot
hear him.
Leaning
Hitman can peek around corners by leaning.
Double tab the Lean button to make Hitman
take an extra step (good for shooting
around corners)
Shooting
When Hitman is holding a weapon,
the mouse cursor changes to a crosshair
of some sort (varying with the weapon). You can now point the crosshair at the
target you want to shoot at.
Strangulation
Selecting the garotte (piano wire) makes Hitman a silent killer. Sneak up behind
your victim, and press and hold Fire to ready the piano wire. Release to strangle.
Dragging Bodies
When you have killed a bad guy, you must get rid of his body. Other guards will
start searching for a killer if they find a body, so hide it well. Right-click on the
body to bring up the mouse menu. Select “drag body.” When he is dragging bodies,
Hitman is very vulnerable so make the killing close to the hiding place.
Changing Clothes
Hitman can take his victim’s clothes or he can find clothes on the scene. When he
has changed clothes, alarmed guards will only recognize him if he walks up close
to them and stays there for a little while.
Sniper Mode
Selecting a sniper rifle forces the game into 1st person mode where you look
through the scope. Use the mouse wheel to zoom. The same goes for the binoculars.
