Survival Mode
Survival is co-operative mode in which a team of up to 8 Players must defend 1, or multiple, bases from endless waves of enemies that increase in size and strength. The number of players in the lobby will also affect the number of enemies per wave. While the waves may be endless, they do follow a 5 wave pattern. Note: Waves of the 5 wave pattern also contain all of the other enemies from the prior waves of the 5 wave pattern.
Wave 1: Minor Enemies
The first wave of every five will only contain Minor Enemies. These enemies are quite weak and can easily be dispatched with starting weapons.
Wave 2: Medium Enemies
A group of Medium Enemies will join the fight along-side the minor enemies. These enemies are usually slightly more buffed up minor enemies.
Wave 3: Major Enemies
A small group (2 or more) Major Enemies will lead the charge along-side the growing horde of medium and minor enemies. Major Enemies are stronger than medium enemies and tend to wield power weapons like the Rocket Launcher or Plasma Rifle.
Wave 4: A Larger Horde
Much more Minor Enemies, several more Medium Enemies, and a couple more Major Enemies... Good luck withstanding this horde.
Wave 5: Boss Wave
On wave 5, a Boss will join the Horde enemies. Your team will need to find him and focus on taking him down before he kills your team or destroys your base.
Death
If you die during a wave in Survival mode, you will not respawn until your team successfully completes the wave. If your entire team dies, the match ends. Sometimes, it's better for your team to let the base take some damage, or let one of the bases get detroyed, and run away to regroup and retaliate. Fight together, survive together, or die together!

Maps
There are a number of maps uniques to Survival Mode with different layouts, number and size of bases, and strategies to success. The different maps also work for different preferred play-session length(s). There's a reason why "The Long Haul" has that name.
Stomping Grounds
The Standard Survival training simulations map. Features 1 base to defend and plenty of pre-built cover. Great for trainees.
Crossroad
Crossroad lacks virtually any form of cover forcing players to rely soley on skill and reflexes to survive. Crossroad only has one large base for players to defend in the center and enemies can only come from 1 of 4 directions, with no cover to protect them either. Teams will have to work together to keep enemies pushed back and away from the base.
The Long Shore
The Long Haul features 2 small bases on the frontline and 1 major base in the players' respawn area. This map is for players looking for a long play session with their team.
Nowhere
In the middle of... somewhere... no bases to defend, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide... survive... or die...
