Forum:Improvements to survival mode

Campaign and, more recently, special ops levels in Call of Duty have often made use of the "Wave Defence" type of combat. A specialised form of this type of combat was brought into its own in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's "Survival Mode". Yet to me, and several of my friends, "Survival Mode" seems a bit unrealistic (granted normal soldiers would not survive wave upon wave of sustained gunfire), but nonetheless there are ways players can be confronted with a more feasable adversary.

Some of these ways include:


 * Use of tanks/BTRs, with infantry escorts as rounds progress


 * Progressively stronger helicopters, culminating in opponent's use of Hinds/Pave Lows at around wave 40
 * Less attack dog spamming
 * More reliable self-revives (at around wave 25 on any map it pretty much becomes a chance event that Self-Revives will save the player)
 * Improved AI on friendlies
 * Improved range of friendly support (machine gunners/snipers etc)
 * Use of support found in multiplayer (i.e. Osprey Gunner/friendly helicopter)

Any other suggestions or feedback would be great.
