So the only way I would ever win on UV is play 100% defensive. TaN & Ironman all the way. I chose shotguns because ammo management is much easier and I don't have to worry about accuracy. Great for shooting off in to darkness. I did not go the shottyman/reloader route though.
What really made this run work was the Jackhammer. The Necroarmor on one of the very last levels was nice too.
I had to save and quit 3 times due to distractions at work...damn those customers. The game was slow at well over an hour of total play time

Before him 45 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
38 of those were killed.
1 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
And 2 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.
Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
Is he immortal? 4 souls claim to have killed him...
1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
3 killed the bastard and survived.
