This is my first recorded Solo Level speedrun of Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield. This is Mission 2, Alpine Village, completed on Recruit Difficulty (which appears to be the standard for solo runs at present). In-Game time, which appears to be the unit of measurement in other runs, was 1:01.
Given the historical runs on record, this is one of the more optimised levels at upload time (in 2021). Current Solo WR at time of upload is jhook's 1:14 [ Ссылка ] - my own run has surpassed it by 13 seconds (though jhook's was completed on Observer Mode- perhaps there should be separate categories someday?).
Wanted to get a time on the board, as well as to test my recording and editing equipment. This route can definitely be optimised further, and a time under 1 minute is definitely possible. However, hostage movement is unpredictable, as one can see at the end - and this consistently slows down times. Certain random enemy placements are also severely unideal given the run and gun strategy - they caused several resets. I would imagine these issues would be amplified on higher difficulties, but I am yet to test it.
NOTE--
This game is a pain to record, as I get the impression that the menu and the gameplay itself are on separate tabs, which has often stopped my screen recording across numerous software when it changes from one to the other. OBS was the exception, but I kept getting crashes on my laptop. When I am next at my main pc, I will try it for later runs. In the meantime, I recorded one clip of the full gameplay, and a brief 5 seconds of the score screen. However, there is a small gap in between both, as one can hear from the score screen music. If this is insufficient, I shall record this level again (gives me an excuse to optimise it further, after all).
