I used the strategy I had seen over and over again for MC wins: massive rapid shots. I had only ever gotten past level 14 before, but this time I took my time and calculated my moves more.
My biggest problem with this run is that I couldn't find a nuke ANYWHERE. It was the only thing keeping me from a second Platinum badge. There might have been one on Hell Level 10, but I had an auto-nuke go at the start so I didn't have enough time to search every room before having to go meet the cyberdemon.
My proudest moment of this run was how I played the lava pits. I had only one environmental suit, but I decided to do it anyway, since I had a megasphere near the exit and a homing phase device as a backup. 2/3 the way through the pits I lost my suit. I had the brilliant idea (to me anyway) to use a rocket jump to get from island to island, and it worked! I got to the final island, grabbed the last two environmental suits, and made short work of the lava element with plenty of suit to get back.
The cyberdemon was easy with the lava element, but I didn't have a nuke, so a normal win was the best I could do :(
Another interesting part of this run is that I completely skipped the Captain rank and went straight from 1st Lieutenant to Major :) I had 26/13/8/1/0 and after getting these two silvers and two golds I ended with 26/15/10/1/0 :) If only I had gotten that last platinum I could have only had to worry about 2 more golds for the next one.
Edit: Oh, and this was more than double my second highest score, so I'm pretty proud of that too.
