21 hours here and i've done all possible challenges in Tutorial level + Paris (except the second escalation challenge).
About the first escalation challenge in Paris.
Spoiler:
Did the last part without disabling lasers or seen by camera
Didn't got spotted, but knocked a lot of guys out with the good old coin and subdue tactic.
It will be quite hard to be able to hide the first target body with the cameras and lasers, but i'm not in the mood to search for disabling device.

started in the kitchen as a waiter and went from there, avoiding every laser
but there's a much easier way to do this.
There's probably a quicker way, but I found this to be most reliable. I just uploaded the vid so you might have to wait a while before the quality gets better. No unnecessary KOs and a neat trick with being recorded (and getting rid of it) I discovered when experimenting.
@Neon
Nice! So this is where it was
You forgot to hide the second kill body
Spoiler:
Did the same to escape but shot the cameras in the entrance area from first floor. And for the second target i was starting as tech guy right next to him and was taking the security guard uniform that goes to the toilet ~1 min after missions starts. Then was sneaking below the camera and just shoot the guy then wait for camera and dump body.

The video is from the beta, the AI is improved in the final version.
The easiest example is how you get the Terry Norfolk disguise. In the beta you could bump into him a couple of times and he followed you and you could subdue him, in the final version he doesn't follow you and sometimes actually goes to the cops to report you.
Also I'm 10 hours in and still don't have all the challenges.
However little they have improved it, it still looks terrible in every aspect from everything I see.
I'm reading on the steamboards that the game works like poop on a GTX970....
That's disheartening to hear as I was starting the get interested in it.
And it looks like a 2005 game and animates like a 2001 game (the original Splinter Cell had better animations than this).
My guess is they are [ab]using the same engine from past games, and just slapping features such as dynamic lighting and reflection, which breaks the engine.

It's not just the effects. Mostly the terrible animations, the overall sameness. Just looks very very dated from gameplay standpoint. I can't get over the animations, the terrible lighting, the performance hiccups. There is just no reason for a game like this, the way it looks, to cost 60. This is a bargain bin rehash at best.
Well, dated, yes. The game can improve without turning into retarded bullshit. It's not like there are two paths to take in game development - the "old school" copypasta or "mainstreamed for accessibility".
@Neon I think you are confusing art with very outdated tech. Mass Effect is also beautiful here and there, because the art is good, but technically it is very outdated at this point. This one, even the Paris level, looks so rudimentary. Everything is so crude. Again, it's not mainly the graphics that bother me, it's the animation system. This kills it completely for me. And watching the old games, it feels exactly the same. Not the effects, textures or shadows, but the feel of the game (not in a good way). But we've seen games that just have so much better animation systems, this is unacceptable for a 2016 game.
They said they'll bring some more stuff to Contracts, since at the moment it's worse than in Absolution. No search, no possible sharing between friends, no specific requirements that cause you to fail the mission, you can't make the weapon be restricted to, for example, a screwdriver - instead it's "lethal melee" etc.

Well, who knows? maybe he won't be allowed to change game mechanics and incorporate some of the extremely boring and repetitive stuff he implemented in his previous work.
