-- General ---------------------------------------------------
Before him 397 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
370 of those were killed.
4 of those were killed by something unknown.
7 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
And 9 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.
Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
Is he immortal? 7 souls claim to have killed him...
4 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
2 killed the bastard and survived.
1 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

Well after a long period I finally got another win. And it's the best kind of win - shotty-only win :D (Yup, used shotguns exclusively since I got one) Also this is my first sucessfull attempt at "Yet Another Asskicking Marine". And last but not least I did it on Angel of Max Carnage - I don't think I saw post mortem of that one yet. Only medium difficulty though - my experiences with trying shotgun games on anything harder were less then pleasant.
Thoughts:
- Jackhammer is awesome, I was really lucky to get it. Don't think I could pull this off otherwise, not with 100% kills anyway.
- Got Army of Darkness trait - I think it helped those last few levels (and Cybie probably too - he died
very quick), ut considering I've een running around with Jackhammer it's hard to tell how much it helped.
- Angel of Max Carnage seems the best challenge game for shotguns so far - yes the amount of damage you take on later levels is horrid, but at the same time it helps to maximize shotgun's efficiency.
- I still don't think shotguns stand up in power to other weapons when it comes to end-game. Untill I got Jackhammer I had serious problems with some monsters - Revenants and Former Commandos mostly. Easy and medium are doable but I wouldn't run going shotgun on hard and above.
- New barrel types are nice, but in my opinion acid and lava types should be a bit less plentifull - they become a real pain sometimes, blocking off only ways of going through level, and mass-barrel special levels become a nightmare due to them. Also I got the impression that there were too much barrels generated near-end levels in general, though that might be just me.
You enter Phobos Hell, level 9. Where the hell is the way out of here!?!

Shottyman Armor : red armor [4/4] (53%)
Health: 88% Exp: 9/58% Weapon: Jackhammer (8d3)x3 [9/9]
cautious envirosuit Phobos Hell Lev9
That's what greeted me on penultimate level - the green color is due to enviro suit going on. I missed the acid barrel in all that green, but I survived (a 25%, had a large med handy), and thanks to the suit I could calmly fire a second salvo (which decimated what remained after the first one) before moving out otf the acid. Good times :]Hail to the king, baby!
