So, I've been trying to get Everyman Diamond lately, and this is my best attempt at it. I know I can do it; I just got careless at the end because it was late at night and I wanted to go to bed, so I rushed a bit while fighting the Cyberdemon. It said "almost dead" so I figured one more plasma barrage would kill him and I fired one more barrage than I should have. There really was no reason to take that risk; I should've dodged one more time and then fired, but I was tired and not thinking clearly. *Sigh...* :(
Nevertheless, there were some notable achievements, such as my first time getting Every Soldier's medal and Spider-Killer Cross! :D
The thing that helped the most was the nuclear plasma rifle that I found in Deimos lab. It was a big help against the Shamblers, (that was an intense battle! I'm thankful that Dodgemaster lets you dodge their lightning bolts, but it was still unnerving seeing those bolts whiz by me!) :o and once I modded it into a Burst Cannon, it kicked serious ass! :D (Especially once I got EE 2) Normally, the major drawback of the burst cannon is the increased reload time, but by making it with the nuclear plasma rifle, I got all the extra firepower without that drawback. It was a seriously nice weapon. :)
EDIT: Oh yeah, one more notable thing that I forgot to mention: I missed getting the Shambler's head medal by one stinking hit point! There was a Commando that survived a plasma barrage at point-blank range because he was wearing blue armour and he punched me for one point of damage. *Sigh*
