What does points score do in Hitman Absolution?

I just play the game and was wondering what does point do in this game ? Are they just a number to compare to another player online or maybe you can buy or unlock any stuff in game ?


Solution 1:

High scores obtained in main singleplayer campaign missions unlock "assasin techniques" which upgrade Agents 47's abilities (improving recovery time, reducing weapon recoil). You can find a list of all assasin techniques here.
