This is a recorded Solo (without AI) Individual Level Speedrun of Rainbow Six 3: Athena Sword, in particular Mission 1 A Castle in Milan (Azure Gate). This was completed on Recruit Difficulty, with an in-game time of 1:07.
As far as I am aware, this sort of individual level speedrun is the first of its kind for Rainbow Six 3, whereby one tackles a campaign mission without any support from the AI or from friends. This 'true' solo experience is much harder than 'Solo with AI', because (a) one does not have support fire from additional operatives and (b) one cannot utilise additional teams to complete missions faster. I remember a previous runner, Venom, requesting such a category - so here is an inaugural run of sorts to get the ball rolling with new way of speedrunning Rainbow Six 3!
I decided that A Castle in Milan would be a fun one to start off with, given its low enemy count and surprisingly complex layout. While many of the terrorists are of the random-spawn variety, it is a surprisingly fun map to speedrun in this 'lone wolf' manner. The entirety of my routing can be observed from the video alone- which saves my usually longwinded explanations of my routing decisions. I did provide some notes in the sidebar explaining particular eccentricities though, if anyone is interested.
