I'm a big fan of the Hitman franchise from IOI. It would be great to have a game like this, but in a open-world setting.
Something like having a hideout where you can accept contracts with little info on the target. Then you would gather information, like when is your target arriving at the airport, which hotel is it staying at, etc, so you could choose where, when and how to hit. It would be more tactical, similar to the old Rainbow Six games, where planning was 95% of the game and execution of the plan was more or less a formality if the plan was good.
Then a system like in Hitman: Blood Money where getting caught on camera or having witnesses would raise the awareness in security (they know your face -> you can't get close and have to plan accordingly).
Each contract would get you money for equipment, bribes, cars, better or more hideouts. It would be very complex, but not impossible.
