If you got your clan back together in the original Special Force and landed a string of headshots, or dropped the last enemy with one sniper shot, you will want to show the people who were there. Special Force became a DOR 'full-play recording' game in the October 2026 app update. When you launch the game, DOR detects it and keeps everything from launch to exit as one video. It is a team-based FPS known for fast movement and precise gunplay, so rounds are short and repeat often. This guide covers how to pick out the moments worth showing from all those rounds.
The original and Remastered are recorded as different games
This guide is about the original Special Force. In DOR, the original and Remastered are separate supported games, so each appears on its own under 'Full-play recording' in settings and is switched on or off separately. If you play both, it is worth checking that both are on. For working with footage recorded in Remastered, see the Special Force Remastered hub. Original recordings get long because of the sheer number of rounds, so when a memorable round happens, note which match it was in and you will spend far less time looking later.
Picking the best moments from an original Special Force recording and sending them
- 1Confirm the original is set to record, then launchCheck that the original Special Force, not Remastered, is on under 'Full-play recording' in DOR settings, then launch the game. Automatic detection starts recording, and it continues as one video across matches until you close the game.
- 2Split matches at the result screenA result screen appears at the end of every match, so scrubbing the timeline to find it splits the recording into matches. Jump straight to the match number you noted and look only at the rounds inside it.
- 3Start with rounds where kill notifications pile upRounds with chained headshots or snipes stack kill notifications at short intervals on one side of the screen. Find those rounds within the match first, and capture from a few seconds before the first kill to just after the last.
- 4Keep rounds short, let clutches run longerThe original moves quickly, so about 10 seconds is enough for a headshot moment. A clutch where you held on alone or the end of a bomb mission needs the build-up of tension, so keep 20 to 40 seconds.
- 5Bundle several rounds into one clan videoTrim a few headshot moments separately, then merge them in DOR Studio in your browser and add clanmates' names or the date as text for a short video of the night you got back together.
- 6Paste the link in your clan group chatVideos from the trim tool or the studio are shared as a dor.gg link. Send it to clanmates you have played with for years or an old friend who has stepped away from the game, and they can watch right away in a phone browser without the app.
Clip lengths for original Special Force round moments
| Round moment | Clue in the recording | Length and who to send it to |
|---|---|---|
| Headshot streak | Kill notifications stacking up at short intervals | Clanmates, about 10 s ending 2 s after the last kill |
| One-shot snipe | The moment the enemy drops right after switching to the scope view | The friend you sniped with, 5-8 s |
| Bomb mission plant or defuse | Late in the round when teammates crowd around the bomb | The friend on your team, 20-40 s |
| 1vX clutch | The last fight after teammates fall one by one and you are the only one left | Clan group chat, around 30 s |
| Clan match win confirmed | Where the last round ends and the result screen appears | The whole clan, 15 s including the result screen |
| First match of the reunion | The very start of the recording, the first round you all joined | Friends you used to play with, under a minute |
Before you send
- The original Special Force, not Remastered, is on in settings.
- I noted which match the memorable round was in.
- The headshot clip keeps about 2 seconds after the last kill.
- Clutch and bomb mission moments are cut long enough to show the tension.
- When bundling rounds, I added the date or names as text.
- I have comfortably more than 20GB of free disk space.
How DOR records the original Special Force
DOR is a free Windows desktop app. Launch the original Special Force and it detects the game and records until you quit, as one mp4 video; it does not cut headshots or round wins into automatic highlights. You find the moment in the app library, trim it, and choosing 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 creates a dor.gg link. Tips for setting precise start and end points in short rounds are in how to trim game clips. If you are worried about the load of recording alongside the game, check the guide to recording games on a low-end PC first. Game sound and microphone are recorded together, so what you shouted to your clan during the clutch stays in. On days you do not want the original recorded, switch it off under 'Full-play recording' in settings; a confirmation prompt appears when you do.
