WonderLlama:
Tense.  Barely made it.  On the way down, I couldn't find stairs from level 6.  Went through medical, security and millitary before I found any.  Was out of medkits most of that time.  Later I found a lot more medkits on levels I hadn't been to.  I also ran nearly out of ammo several times and at least twice found pulse ammo with 5 burst or less left.  I very briefly switched back to the shotgun, but there's just no way to deal with Elites appearing in your face without it.  (Or maybe the M250 weapon.  I've never seen it.  Or incindiary grenades.)

Not a big fan of Medical.  Until the end game I was nearly always maxed out on medkits.  Despite fighting at 2-3 spaces to save ammo.  In fact I don't think any of the non gun skills were that worthwhile.  Ammo seems to be the key.

I love the way the different types of ammo work to encorage you to switch weapons back and forth.  And how you find different types of ammo in different towers.  So I would sometimes leave millitary/storage to look for 44 ammo.  But could you please change the color of 44 ammo so I can tell it apart from 9mm?
