Two fat fucks who can only be killed by a hail of bullets patrol the level. Each one appears to take five bullets each. So I have to flawlessly take each one out without missing or misusing a single bullet? Fuuuuuck you. Fatties only take one bullet to kill if you shoot them and let them bleed out

I think the fact they give you ammo reloads for your guns in the Soldier levels gives people the impression that the gun is what they should be using as a primary weapon, whereas the key to dominating those levels is to just use the knife as much as possible unless the situation really demands it. Until you get the flamethrower anyway because that thing owns bones

Weirdly enough, I know a ton of people who struggled with the power plant level. The sniper rifle made it much easier than I was dreading, thankfully. Though I'm a bit confused about the story... The reddits and wikipedia are telling me that the guy beard rescued was jacket from the first game. Um.... was I somehow supposed to catch that? Because I definitely have no idea how people made that connection. is it in a later chapter?

Well at the end of hotline miami 1, Jacket burns a photograph that is the same as the one Beard gives the guy he rescues. Additionally, they look the same, have the same habit of constantly smoking and both never talk.

At the end of Hotline Miami you see Jacket look at a Polaroid and throw it away. Plus Beard is the guy you see all the time despite him being dead

Of course. Super late to Hotline Miami 2 plot discussion but I didn't really understand this. So there were atleast three nukes? The two at the ending hitting Miami and Hawaii but for some reason Beard dies in a separate nuke that happens before Hotline Miami happened? That's really weird thing to add. Was it ever mentioned in the games that Hawaii got nuked before? It's a pretty important detail to this setting

Sinners Sandwich posted:Of course. The timeline is this: Russia and the US go to war, with Russia invading Hawaii. This is where Beard, Jacket, and the rest are stationed. Their last mission is a suicide mission to take down a power plant, where Beard saves Jacket and the other two presumably die. They get sent back home, Jacket goes to Miami and Beard goes to San Fran to open his shop. SF is then nuked by Russia which ends the war, and establishes the Russo-American coalition. This is the group that 50 Blessings, which seems to be started by Beard and Jacket's SO from Hawaii, are determined to take down. Cut to later and at the end of the game 50 Blessings kills both the US president and the leader of Russia at the same time, off screen. We learn about this on the TV Richter is watching with his mom in Hawaii (the title screen says it's in Miami, but I think that's probably a mistake, as it looks way more like the Hawaii levels than those in Miami, and that's where he said he was going with his mom). In retaliation Russia launches it's nukes at the US, and we see Miami destroyed, and the US retaliates against them by doing the same, and we see Hawaii (probably under Russian control now, hence being where Richter went to hide out) destroyed. What also probably happened that we don't see but is implied is that everywhere else is also destroyed by nukes due to mutually assured destruction.

The idea that Jacket hallucinated Beard because they were old war buddies is admittedly very cool. I'm still not sure how people leaped to the conclusion that the blonde kid you rescue was jacket, as that's some mighty subtle connection-linking. Was I supposed to have a moment where I go "Aha! That's the guy from Hotline Miami 1!"? I'm also eager to go back to Hotline Miami 1 after finishing this up, largely to see if the "bait the enemy" AI works just as well in that game as it does in this one.

When Beard was shown in SF right before the nuke goes off he was talking to someone on the phone about wanting a photograph (the only photograph mentioned in the game, which was also taken in an earlier mission by Evan the journalist). That person, after Beard dies, goes on a crazy rampage culminating in them setting said picture on fire.

It seems like a really big jump, given that Jacket's defining feature is a highschool letterman jacket. I figured from that and his bachelor pad that he was late teens, not a grizzled Hawaiian war vet from an elite commando strike force.

Also it's worth playing through hotline miami again because now certain elements make way more sense. I'm not sure if they had this planned or if they just wrote HM2 around the first game but there's some pretty cool things.

I didn't pick up on it either, but Beard also comments to Jacket after saving him - "it's on the house" which is a line that is told by the Beard hallucinations in HM1.

E: Jake also looks a heck of a lot like one of the Hawaii commandos but that guy didn't make it out of the power plant. Improbable Lobster fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Mar 27, 2015 |

Basically, in short, nothing outright says that's Jacket, you're supposed to pick it up through context clues and having played the first game.

Fat Ghost Wolves character survives the events of HM1- he's visible watching the news in a bar in the first comic. I don't think it's necessarily the case that Evan was also the journalist in Hawaii.
