Unfortunately the soundtrack is as lacking in content as the level itself.
I decided to add the facility alarm to the background of the exfiltration part, because it perfectly matches the tempo of the song when you play in-game. I also included a clean version without it. - Hry

What's the point of timestamps if there already listed in the video
funny number likes
Bro i need exfiltration as a separate thing
@@auxuriour7792so you can restart at any point you want
The one dislike is from Mr. Prichard, who's been having a very bad day after having his flight delayed and then walking through the rain to a restaurant where he immediately got food poisoning.
Who also woke up inside a crate as a highly wanted criminal.
I think his son, a talented hacker who just got hired at an up-and-coming biotech firm in Detroit, should be able to help him out.
(This whole map is a homage to Deus Ex.)
seems like there are 0 dislikes at the moment, hitman should have taken care of him
@@stquart bruh, CZcams taken care of everyone, they hide the dislike number
@@CursorXH cares too much, i can say
The contrast between the use of the choir in this level vs. Sgail is brilliant. There, it helped emphasize how old and far-reaching Providence was but here it makes the mood more mournful, like a funeral which I guess it was for Diana and 47's relationship with the ICA.
funnily enough there actually is a funeral going on in the sgail level lol
That feeling of clearing the facility without getting spotted, and 33:33 playing as you reach the streets is a feeling like no other. I swear I get chills every single time.
Especially once you walk through all of the staff of the facility just outside in the alley
@@orangegrape2802 Yeah, and you're running towards the exit with the hectic music playing, with lights blaring, and as soon as you step outside, its cold, its raining, the music slows to a halt, and you know your out.
i've been known to keep walking around the level with this beautiful track in the background on loop
The exfiltration and mission result music is so good...
It’s so similar to the train theme (which I love)
@@filipmijac9328 Another man of culture I see
The post mission results is my favorite theme
For me its that and the street exfiltrations
Chongqing is a level about the future.
The future is scary because of the potential implications of advancing technology (Hush and Royce). The future is scary because there seems to be no end to human suffering in sight (the homeless people). The future is scary because it's uncertain (the whistleblowing of the ICA). Yet among all that is the chance, however slim, of a better future.
That's why when you leave the chaotic, burning facility and go into the raining streets and you hear 33:33, it's one of the most awe-inspiringly great pieces in the entire Trilogy's OST as far as I'm concerned. That and the results screen theme capture so perfectly all these mixed emotions about everything that is yet to come. It's scary - some of the roads we may be heading down are downright horrifying - but as one guard says, "That's where we're all headed. Into the future."
Beautifully described! I hadn't thought of this mission as such a metaphor, but when you phrase it the way you did, it makes a lot of sense.
The Streets Exfiltration theme has got to be one of the most beautiful pieces that Nielsen composed for the trilogy. That, as well as the Mission Results theme, I would say, are supposed to represent hope. More specifically, the hope, optimism, and trust in a better future.
In the context of the game, these pieces herald the "New Era." The crimes of Providence and the now-Providence controlled ICA have been exposed to the public--what's done in the dark always comes out in the light. 47 and Hall have dealt a major blow to Providence, allowing 47 and Diana to strike directly at its heart. Ultimately, by the end of the game, the actions of 47, Burnwood, Hall, and Grey have helped usher in this new era of hope--even if they themselves were unknown to the public.
Other tracks from this level represent the future, too. "Chongqing Requiem" conveys the reluctant and sometimes sad feelings of something familiar coming to an end--the "death" of a lifestyle, you could say; the bellowing crescendo of "Severing Strings" represents the turning point of it all--a major event that irreversibly changes everything and sends you hurtling towards the unfamiliar; the Exfiltration and Results theme reassure you that though the unfamiliar can be frightening, it need not be feared.
Which Guard says that???
Probably the best comment in existence
@njeiregaya3971 the level 3 guard. The two guards at the couch talking about the previous guard being talkative and keep questioning about Hush experiment
I love Chongqing's soundtrack. The techno matches the quasi-Cyberpunk vibes of the neon-lit streets of the city very well, while the more somber choirs also sing a final requiem for the ICA.
Niels did an amazing job putting these two very different soundtracks into a single level, and I doubt that many other composers would've been able to pull it off.
In addition to that, you did good work putting the entire thing into a single, lovely mix Salem! Thanks for your great service to the community!
beautiful sounds like in hitman 2 miami map
I'd say it's even darker then CP 2077 soundtrack which I consider a pro :). Hitman 3 really is a masterpiece of a game, whole trilogy is.
@@Mulisak What Casimir meant by saying "Cyberpunk", he clearly made reference to the cyberpunk genre. He never mentioned the Cyberpunk game.
Is Cyberpunk 2077 even Cyberpunk after all with their heavy marketing, media manipulation and corporate lies?
@@_._---. I know he made a reference to the CP genre. Does my comment contradict with his? I don't think so. I just stated it's darker than CP 2077 soundtrack. I've been playing CP games and listening to CP music way before CP 2077.

The whole exfiltration sequence was great, the change in the song when you exit the building was quite beautiful. Unfortunate that some of the playthroughs I've seen had them leave through the facility escape door, skipping the streets theme.
Hush's theme is sooo good, the dark techno feel works so well in Chongqing. The beat in the second half of the theme resembles that of a lion dance, which is ingenious.
Not to mention it shows just how depraved and twisted Hush is as well,given he experiments homeless people to control their minds and discarding them the moment they're no longer useful to him,leaving them shells of their former selves.
Not to mention it shows just how twisted and depraved Hush is,considering his 'experiments'.
This map probably has some of the best soundtrack in the entire trilogy, thank you.
I think Argentina have better soundtracks
Not just that ...Chongqing is definitely the most amazing looking map in the game
47 likes 😅
47：Perfect.
yeah, its goog, bu in my opinion dubai sounds better
this level is more cyperpunk than cyperpunk2077
It is more nuanced Cyberpunk, which, for me, makes it work better. I actually like CP2077, but its loud, in-your-face style can become a bit tiresome after a while.
33:34 is my favourite bit of music from the series
Gotta say I love that seemless transition between the two exfiltration themes. Props for opting to keep the alarm in of them. And an amazing job on the mix as always! Chongqing really doesn´t have much music content (or regular as you mention - god am I hoping for a bonus level focused on the city streets...), but it is some of the best in the trilogy.
I started with blood money. Watching the ICA dissolve was EXTREMELY hard to watch.
I fucking love the ominous choir, just like Hitman III's menu music. You know shit's serious.
I looooovvveee the cyberpunk vibe of this mission. This is my second favorite mission in Hitman 3 next to Berlin (club mission). Everything from its' stage, aesthetic to its' soundtrack. Also, nice throwback to Hong Kong stage from very first game and its' remake version in Contract where it rained at night. They mixed this two versions of Hong Kong stages into one Chong Qing really well.
The post-mission results music really hammers down the point that you just destroyed ICA, no going back now.
This is one of the best, if not the best, soundtrack of the Hitman franchise.
The usage of The Purpose theme is incredible throughout the game, and this is probably the best example of it. It manages to show up in all the important and memorable moments, which this game has in every level. Incredble job on Nielsens part
YES ITS MY FAV SOUNDRACK THANKS SALEM!!
Like others, I have also been waiting for this mix. That ICA Data Facility theme is just so amazing.
27:47 This will be stuck in my head for a good while - shooting my way out of the ICA facility during core meltdown and everyone on high alert was already intense, and this song just added up to it.
When I finally got outside I was so surprised to see literally every single ICA Data Facility Staff Member outside there. I was already stressed out by combat I faced earlier, so I opened fire without hesitation and then made a run for it. Once on the street I attracted lots of attention due to two weapons I was carrying.
35:05 Hearing this sent chills down my spine, knowing that I just destroyed ICA and made it out alive.
Hands down the best collection of music out of the whole Hitman series
I need need need an extended version of the Post Mission Results track. When I finished the level for the first time I almost sat there for 10 mins just listening to it.
What's the name of that soundtrack?
@@suhailbastaki4166 It's the last one that starts at 35:05 . It plays when you complete the mission

Chongqing Requiem gives me chills
When i learned about offical ost releases for Hitman 2/3 I was really happy, but nothing beats these custom mixes. Great work.
I absolutely love the theme for The Block. It’s one of my favorite themes from the whole World of Assassination trilogy. The deep bass and electronic synths are absolutely entrancing. I’m in love with this drop: 7:02
Thanks a lot for sharing. I really love the soundtrack of Chongqing "exfiltration with alarm", rhymes powerful.Spent me long time to find.
Can't thank you enough for creating these mixes and organising them into mini-chapters based on their themes in the game. It is so interesting listening to the different tones of the original score. So thank you! Keep em' cometh.
Severing Strings is so damn good.
Waited so long for this, thank you Salem!
Thanks! I have waited for this. It's the best soundtrack in the whole trilogy.
Those 2 dislikes are Hush and Imogen Royce.
The other 4 Are from mr pritchard imogen royce jeremy Bolt and hush bodyguard
@Swamp Expert Extraordinaire I'll get that bastard Hush
Just cause they both got shot in the head??? damn
Great mix
The choir singing in what I presume to be Latin in this mission is absolutely beautiful. It kind of gives old Jesper Kyd vibes.
Hushs theme song gives me relaxing cyberpunk vibes I love it so much🥺 gives me chills every time especially when I’m in the block fsr
I thought I'd commented this years ago, but the mission complete music reminds me so much of the end theme from the 2003 Hulk, and i love it
Great map playability and great soundtrack. Chongqing map wasn't as much about China as it was about ICA and surveillance. I'd have liked way more representation of Chinese locals and their culture, like one can see for the Indians in Mumbai.
Post mission song is so nostalgic
Especially considering how they actually fuckin iced the ICA after 21 stinkin years. As a Hitman veteran that was super hard to watch.
@@quinn941 feels like it's the end of an era, the new trilogy was amazing, but nothing is going to match the first four games.
09:48 Hush
19:49 Royce
you can hear a bit of Haven in this
DamN, GooD Luck & Don't Forget to Keep Up Maa friend with Loving IT!! ❤😮👍
I Love This Location. :)
really does a good job of making you feel the weight of ending the ICA, the organization we worked with the entire series gone
Any of you folks caught the specific Hitman Contracts OST - Slaughter Club track sample used in the chongquing level?
Where?
AHh I love that song!! Where can we hear it in Chongqing?
@@QkeleQ10 man it been a long long while since I played H3. czcams.com/video/m9M9YeLDnfI/video.htmlsi=eKHP8aKYNyo401MN at 3:05 this percussive motif starts to play, that can be heard in Chonquing when everyone is searching for you, if I remember correctly.
i havent got my hands on h3, but this map's ambiance is insanely good
Block rockin beats
Judging by the ost, Is it possible to exit the facility after doing the server thing without the alarm? I disabled the security system before that happened and still got it. Or does it play only if you kill both targets when you choose another entry point, which makes the server hack optional?
If you start your mission anywhere but the train station (only possible after completing the mission once) then Olivia will suggest that she hacks the core instead of 47 after you have killed the targets. You are then free to ex filtrate or enter the core anyway, which will start the alarm sequence regardless of what you do.
@@retro2103 Yeah, but there's a track 'Exfiltration without Alarm' which implies you can do it safely.
Oh nvm, its said in the description that Salem just made two versions of the theme.
The alarm will always trigger as far as I know. The raw music files don't have alarm sounds in them obviously (like in the official soundtrack version). But in my opinion the alarm fits perfectly that sequence when you play it in-game, so I made two versions.
Now however, with the new The Pride Profusion escalation (from the Seven Deadly Sins DLC), you can now hear the no alarm facility exfiltration version after eliminating all targets in a level (although if you have chosen the easy option, it will sound a bit distorted).
EDIT: And now it is also possible to hear it if playing this map in Freelancer as well.
I kinda get Metal Gear Solid vibes from the exfiltration music.
metal gay solid is lame tho
At the street and post mission sections, you can faintly hear someone counting in Chinese I think.
I like Niels's masterpieces better than Jesper's ones tbh
Yesterday i did a silent assason suit challeneg on this map. It was neeve wrecking and the music make me more sweaty as I attwmpt to sneak back into the ica headquaters just to complete the last mussion
Sneaking around the vents for Royce and climbing to Hust... Man this mission has the most fun "SASO+NO/KO+FIBERWIRE ONLY on master difficult with default loadout" challenge. And the exfiltration music for street when you accomplished feels you like a real hitman.
Greetings @Salem
Can you please extend the post mission result screen for this stage?
Thank you !
Those 2 dislikes are obviously from Hush and Royce

My only real complaint about H3's soundtrack is a lack of combat music
same
The combat music in H2 was crap, it was the same track over and over again which was mainly loud and bombastic noises, as opposed to actual music like the combat themes of Contracts and Blood Money. Season 1's wasn't much better than 2's but at least it was different for some maps
H3... haven't noticed yet because I've avoided combat a lot :P But it seems to just be similar to 2, but I wasn't expecting them to do any better
It's the same combat music as H2, and there aren't even map variations this time around.
@@Salem33 there were map variations of the combat music in Hitman 2?
@@NotChukkov yeah Hitman 2016's soundtrack wasnt anything special, but I did rather enjoy the ICA facility, Paris, and Colorado themes, and the ICA and Colorado maps by far had the best combat tracks.
I guess with the budget cuts in Hitman 2 they figured you won't be in combat often so they focused their resources elsewhere. Similarly for Hitman 3, but I think Berlin and Chongqing have very good tracks at least. Berlin's exterior and club rave, and Chongqing's ambient and exfiltration themes are really good.
At least the final mission has something for combat since it's basically encouraged to be a kill everyone challenge.
12:51 that one enforcer: *STOP!*
34:53 me encanta
Why can't I find the last part ? 😫
"I love when those little drones just scoot around like that. Man, if I had one of those when I was a boy."
"If you had the money for a _fraction_ of the tech in those, I seriously doubt you'd be standing out here in the rain, right now. Royce is on a big budget and those drones plug right in."
"Yeah I know...I still like watching them."
"Hey! Did you find it?!"
"What?! I can't hear you!"
"I said, did you find it yet?!"
"Not yet! We'll keep looking!"
"Zhung Jun's not coming in? Yeah, I guess I can cover his shift. Will do. Hey rifle, up for another 4 hours with me in the rain? ....Yeah, thought not."
"God, what's that smell? Its you. How can you stand it? Your clothes are so filthy I can literally _taste_ the stench. When was the last time you changed your outfit, seriously?"
"I change my clothes all the time."
ICA's downfall is imminent.
I be head bobbin in my coat with the popped collar sliding in and out of cover up The Block building HARD AF!
Can we have "Cyberterrorist" one extended one hour or just separated?
i kinda hate they just end ica like that,but 47 is always the focus i suppose
Well, as long as there's demand for the kind of services ICA offered, there will probably be another organization taking over.
The franchise is nearly three decades old, as long as 47 continues to kill people for money I’ll be okay lol
There will always be individuals and government agencies demanding targets to be assassinated. Power is always craved and sought after. Thus, I'm sure 47 and Diana will be needed sooner or later.
Wouldn't this soundtrack be one of the longer ones rather than lacking? Most of your Hitman 2 mixes seem to be shorter than this.
It has only two dynamic area tracks, comparable to Whittleton Creek. And you have to keep in mind that I repeated the exfiltration theme twice just to include alarm sounds.
That said you are correct to say that it's about the same length as some H2 maps.
@@Salem33 To be fair, you have to give credit for the two different Exfiltration themes(Streets and Underground), so I'd say it has more music than Sgail, Whittleton and Hawke's Bay.
@@iemeralds7349 I guess I probably was spoiled by the other H3 locations soundtracks.
Salem why are you saying the level is lacking in content?
i guess because there isn't a lot to explore in the surface or the block. the facilty was very big and cool to explore but the city part wss too small and the block wasnt that interesting
Reminds me of Detroit: Become Human (Connor theme)
Am I the only person who likes Olivia Hall a bit more than Diana? I like her sense of humor and mood.

It would have been better if they included some Chinese style music like Kyd put in the Hitman Contracts China missions.
I remembered PrivateRyan65 commented here, saying that the beat in the second half of Hush's theme reminded him of lion dance, maybe that counts...?
@@EdwardNavu Maybe but something was missing in the soundtrack.

It started with Hong Kong, it ended with Chongqing.
no chinese music in china :/
Hong kong in hitman contracts was the best soundtrack.
Yeah it should have had some in the restaurant at least. But apart from that the soundtrack fitted so well with the whole sci-fi-cyberpunk vibe of the map
first
