I swear Rainbow Six can be a horror game at times XD. Luckily we're brave and managed to pull through to get some funny moments!

Comment "Bing Bong" if you see this :)

Your editing style makes me think of youtubers like Smi77y that use text and some meme images to engage with viewers while clips play out. Let me know if that's the kind of thing you're going for.
One thing I thought could be improved is the use of descriptive text. Specifically I'm thinking of the clip you had at 2:20 where you and your friends were shooting at a drone and missing and you had "Chaos" covering the center of the screen. First of all, that blocks the view of what's happening and makes it hard to follow along. Second is that the text isn't engaging while its just hanging out there. You could have instead had smaller text like "Shooting", "Panicking", "Miss" coming from behind you where your friends are shooting from and then following the fleeing drone while you all try to shoot it. The smaller text wont block the visual and the rapid fire volley of text following the drone can drive the sense of chaos way better than just saying there is chaos.
You can also try to have fun with the text itself. If you don't want to do the work involved with having a bunch of little texts popping up then you can edit the "Chaos" text to shake and sway rapidly. That can also help drive the sense of chaos. You can do similar things with all the text where it makes sense. Around 6:16 you had the text "Weee" pop up when you said that. The text could have zipped past the screen instead of just sitting in the middle. Having little motions like that can really help keep viewer's eyes engaged while they watch the video.
Hope you find this helpful

I feel that for the CHAOS text, i think if I'd made it bigger but then left it transparent it'd have been better

#

In terms of the text effects, I usually do have some of that, guess I just forgot this video lmao

will keep that more in mind next video
