Special Ops - Survival Mode

This is a series of missions that you can do alone or with a buddy. There are two modes: Survival and Missions. Survival will pit you and your partner against waves of enemies which increase in number and difficulty per wave. Missions will bring you back to various mission areas in the campaign with different objectives and enemies.

Players will only have 4 maps initially available. They can unlock additional map sets per 5, 10 and 15 levels (for Missions) and 5, 15, 25 for Survival mode. Your SPEC-OPS level is different from your multiplayer level.

Survival Mode

The stuff you can purchase in Survival Mode depends on your current level so it may be wise to go through Mission Modes first to gain a few levels to give you an edge in Survival.

General Tips: Memorize the maps and consider finding “defensive” points. These are parts of the maps which you can easily dig in and hold out. Use turrets. You must place them in an elevated position where they can provide maximum cover and avoid getting destroyed easilyReinforcements – The Riot Shield team is always a better choice than the Delta Squad. Having them around increases your chances to survive. Claymores – Place them along the paths the enemies are most likely to take.Partner – Having a human partner will give you the advantage of having one additional turret and reinforcement squad. Flashbangs are very effective against Juggernauts. Avoid facing them head on; always attempt to flank them or lure them towards your C4s and Claymores. Helicopters can be taken out easily by assault rifles and light machine guns. Make sure you're under a tunnel or overhead cover to avoid getting shredded by machine gun fire.

Here are the list of items you can buy in Survival Mode.

The items in the weapons category have the same price but will be different in power so it pays to have the updated version – unless you can easily pick them up from the enemies.
