Yeah it does seem like it should be simple to add. You could 'abuse' it in Blood Money so if they're concerned about balance issues, they shouldn't be. Players should be encouraged to experiment.
This guy visited IO and they answered some questions. They also talk about the briefcase - they want to add it, but it's a matter of "getting it right, not just half-right."
I didn't bother watching the video but this seems like they are wasting our time.
They have one sniper, thats one animation to make from the briefcase...
It would should be a ridiculously easy thing to add to the game
Especially since the suitcase was already working in the alpha.
I couldn't find a proper video, but I remember there was an animation for taking out the sniper rifle as well.
Wow they even had human shields in the alpha, and NPC voice acting to go with it. Why the hell would they remove features that were already working
Yup not really understanding this.
I like Hitman but I think Blood Money was a lot better in many areas including having actual levels. This Hitman game is the Paris level duplicated with slightly different theming.

Part of some later DLC to milk the customers.
Quote:
"Hitman Season 2 comes back with the exciting trademark Suitcase(tm), innovatively designed upon the classic and tuned to maximize the fun and balance. Become King of the Leaderboards and surprise your targets from afar!
Pre-order now and be the first to try out the Human Shielding feature, now redesigned and integrated with exciting contextual quick time events.
With yet another proof that the developing team is actively listening to the fans, we are proud to announce that Peeking Through Keyholes(tm) will undergo a beta implementation throughout next year's journey, and will be available on the Store before the start of Season 3."
If they have figured out how to balance human shield so it makes sense then I'm happy with it coming with Season 2.
In Blood Money and in the beta video posted you only get X amount of seconds holding a super important person before they start shooting... thats not realistic, no guard will shoot the person who pays them.
But we'll see if they've solved that somehow, if they never shot you could just walk to the end of the map with a human shield.
Game updated, going by SteamDB this should be something like update 1.9.1 (1.9 or 1.9.0 being that previous update adding a new difficulty mode among other things.) and also elusive target #20 whoever that might be. (Seems there's ~24 or so in total currently.)
EDIT: Probably fixes something with the 1.9 update and at the same time this one guy can now be found in one of the current chapters / game levels as the new elusive (one chance.) target.

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
I wish they would focus on Dishonored 2 and not something that basically requires being online to be properly played
