This is a recorded Solo Level speedrun of Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield, in particular Mission 2 Alpine Village (Cold Dagger). This was completed on Recruit Difficulty, with an in-game time of 0:51.
This is a much improved version of my last run of this map. Instead of having one team rescuing both hostages, I decided to have two teams, with each going to one hostage. To ensure that my Red AI operative can reach the ground floor hostage faster, my controlled Gold operative frags the town hall entrance, destroying it - saving the AI from slowly opening the door. My controlled operative dashes to the basement hostage, and in the process I open one of the exit doors in the town hall basement for my Red AI - saving him another few seconds. To save time by avoiding collisions with the Red team, my controlled operative takes an alternative (and I believe slightly faster) route out of the town hall basement, once the hostage is secured. My Green AI team neutralises any guards on the way to the extraction zone, and covers the other teams from any guards in the final house by the extraction zone. Minimising the total operatives used here is, in my view, ideal for ensuring that all the teams do their jobs efficiently (i.e. that they don't run into each other, particularly at the start of the level!).
During this run, I was worried at the end that my Green team would be in the way of the other teams and their hostages, as any collision would slow the run down. I thus decided to incapacitate my Green team at the last moment- and I think it worked out (though perhaps not the most ethical route! :P). Very delighted to have breached the 1 minute barrier by a fair margin (though, I think next time I would move my Green team to a different finishing point if I can, just so they are not in the way).
Excited to see if this time can be lowered by later runs. I think this mission can certainly be tackled quickly in a variety of ways, which makes it very enjoyable to route and execute.
