	Extermination. Use those rockets. Note that the Juggernauts are invincible to bullet fire (from the pistol and AR primary fire). Short of rockets, the most effective weapon by far for killing them is the ~~Alien Weapon~~. Unloading an entire ~~Alien Weapon~~ plus one rocket into a Juggernaut will kill it on Kindergarten. Remember not to be too close to ~~any of them~~ when they die -- it hurts.		Extermination. Use those rockets.

Unloading an entire alien weapon plus one rocket into a Juggernaut will kill it on Kindergarten, which might actually be faster than the 4 rockets it otherwise takes. If you don't have an alien weapon or rockets, the fusion pistol is probably the next best option. Use primary fire until only one shot remains, then fire a charged shot -- you'll get more damage without using any extra ammo. Remember not to be too close to the Juggernauts when they die -- it hurts.

	After you spawn, you can hit the action key twice to open the second part of the multi-section door out of the starting room. This is the first complete a task level. You need to collect all three uplink chips before you can exit the level. On Kindergarten, it's faster to make your way directly to the first two chips without recharging, then use the charger at the end of the level before grenade jumping onto the platform. On Total Carnage this is probably not feasible.		After you spawn, you can hit the action key twice to open the second part of the multi-section door out of the starting room a little faster.

			On TC it may be worthwhile to detour through the secret door to "the pit" to get 3X shields, invincibility, and some extra AR ammunition, then grenade climb to the teleporter to return to the main part of the level, as this would give you a bunch of health to provide safety for the next few levels.

	In my opinion, only two of the five difficulty settings should be used for runs: Kindergarten and Total Carnage. The intermediate difficulties would make for too many categories.

	A task level again. ~~Hit~~ the ~~switches in~~ the ~~maintenance tunnels, then go~~ to the ~~end~~. For the right set of tunnels, the platform to leave the area with the switch takes so long to move, you can activate it, run to the switch, then get back just as it rises. For the puzzle with the blue and green platforms, hit the bottom switch of the right ~~pair~~ to raise the first blue platform, then run across the already-raised green ones.		A task level again. You only have to hit the switch on the right side of the map to complete the level. For the right set of tunnels, the platform to leave the area with the switch takes so long to move, you can activate it, run to the switch, then get back just as it rises. For the puzzle with the blue and green platforms, hit the bottom switch on the right wall to raise the first blue platform, stand on it as it rises, then run across the already-raised green ones.

	One more level that can be all but completely skipped. Precise straferunning lets you jump around the pillars separating the spiral stairs into sections, allowing you to head straight for the switch that raises the central platform. Instead of hitting the switch and trying to catch the central platform, you can also AR fly (2 grenades) from the top of the spiral stairs into the hallway. Make sure to grab the rocket launcher and the 3X shields before leaving.		One more level that can be all but completely skipped.

	A grenade jump right at the start of the level ~~lets~~ you ~~skip almost everything~~. ~~Not sure how feasible~~ it is on ~~TC though~~.		On Kindergarten, you can immediately grenade jump up to your right from the start, run through the corridor, activate the switch, jump on the platform as it rises and then into the corridor leading to the end of the level.

			On Total Carnage, this level is pretty hard. When you spawn, you'll immediately be under lots of fire from Projectile Fighters, who will be joined shortly by Hunters. I think the best way to do it will be to run to the secret 2X charger, then backtrack and clear out the areas of the level you need to go through, then do the same grenade jump you'd do on Kindergarten.
