COD MW3 Map Survival Mode Specific Strategies

Gamers love survival mode because each map is not the same strategic and how to survival is not always the same. The best way to do really well at survival mode is to have a plan for each and every map you play. That is what this guide is to help you do better at the spec ops survival game mode in mw3.

===Map specific strategies=== {05MSS}

Please remember that these strategies are almost always intended for later
rounds. Earlier rounds don’t need a lot of strategy and so you can just do what
works best for you. Also, if I refer to a direction, my reference point is
always from where you spawn (ex. if I mention a camping spot north of your
spawn point, not on the north side of the map as CoD: Elite would list it).

–Resistance–

For the lower rounds (excluding helicopter and juggernaut rounds), it’s best to
camp in the south west corner, at the top of the stairs of the patio. If you
position yourself correctly, it will be hard for enemies to hit you and you can
take them out easily even when they all attack you at once.

For juggernaut rounds (especially high juggernaut rounds), it may be best to
hide near where you start out, but only if you have two players. You want to
hide in one of the big potted plants with cases nearby and you need to position
youself so that you are hidden by the cases and so that you cannot be hit
except for by the soldiers on the walkway above you. Your partner will need to
lie down nearby. Your partner will take all of the damage and you will keep
reviving him and protecting yourself from the soldiers on the top walkway.
If necessary, put C4 on the walkway before the round, in case you get in
trouble.

It’s best to camp in the top left (from the direction of the respawn point) of
the map, in the clothing store. It’s best to put a sentry gun near the
entrance to the building, since the enemies will enter one by one. They will
also enter through the back so it’s important to put another sentry there and
to put a lot of claymores there.

An alternate strategy that may work better in solo would be to camp in the
ouse in the middle of the map, setting a sentry gun in the living room and
hiding in the small kitchen corner. It may be a bit harder to camp there
because the house is so small, but it’s worth trying if you can’t get the
other spot to work.

–Village–

One potential strategy that will probably work very well, especially for the
lower waves and up to the thirties is to place your sentry guns northwest of
your spawning point (a little bit west of the bridge, on the lower part of the
map). If you cover the front side with your sentry guns, very few soldiers
will go the other way and you can just leave some claymores there to take care
of them. Juggernauts will also mainly come through the front side, so you can
simply flashbang them and take them out with your sentry guns. I suspect that
on the much higher waves, however, it will be hard to hold this position, and
you may have to run across the map, flashbanging your enemies, hitting them
with airstrikes, C4, claymores, etc. One thing that’s important is that you
should take out air support as soon as it comes while letting your sentry guns
hold off the enemies.

–Interchange–

This is a map that I haven’t tried out a lot, but it seems that the best spot
for sentry guns is either in the northwest corner of the map or the
southwestern corner of the map. This map is similar to village because there
isn’t a great camping spot with a lot of cover, so at some point, you will
need to run around the map, trying to take out enemies one at a time.

–Underground–

The best spot for this place is in the tunnel, in the North/Northwest part of
the map (from the spawn point). There are only two places where the enemy can
enter, so you can place one or two sentry guns on one side and you can cover
the other. You are completely protected from choppers, so the only problem
that you’ll have is with juggernauts.

–Dome–

In this map, one strategy that works well is going prone on the walkway on the
south east part of the map. The enemies cannot hit you very well and they can
only climb up one by one. This will not work as well on single player, but if
you do Co-op, you can cover both ladders and your only trouble will be chopper
waves. If you do solo, it may be better to use the building in which you spawn
or the building north of your spawn point.

–Mission–

The best spot here is on the north west side of the map. If you place two
sentry guns nearby, you can hide in the house or take out troops from the
hill. When air support comes, you should place claymores or a sentry gun near
you to prevent dogs from getting in and you should hide in the house since the
choppers cannot hit you from there.

–Seatown–

The best camping spot for high waves on this world is in the building on the
south side of the map. If you camp in the corner on the bottom floor with a
sentry gun right in front of you, that will protect from attack dogs and
grenades which become very annoying on higher waves. While your sentry gun
stays alive, only one enemy at a time will enter the building and you can
take out at least a good amount of the enemies before your sentry gun is
wrecked. You can also place a sentry gun in the building on the south west
side of the map. Because it is so far away, the enemies will not go after it
much.

On juggernaut waves, you can go to the marketplace and jump on the ledge to
the south of the market. From there, you can jump to the top of the
marketplace stands and go prone. If you shoot the juggernauts through the
cloth that you are laying on, they will not fire back. You can shoot them or
blow them up with C4 and the normal troops will head to the building north
where you are so you will have to take them out when they start attacking you.

–Carbon–

The best strategy that I’ve seen for carbon involves three different spots.
For normal soldier rounds, it’s best to place a lot of C4 around the partially
covered tunnel that is north east of your position. You can camp in that area
with LMGs on high rounds and when soldiers start to crowd in that spot, you
can blow most of them up with C4.

On chopper rounds, it’s best to go to the building just north of your spawn
point and jump on the machine. You can’t get hit by the chopper or attacked by
the dogs, so you only have to kill the soldiers.

On Juggernaut rounds, it’s best to jump on the metal container near the spot
where you went for the soldier rounds and go prone. The soldiers will all head
to the spot where you go for soldier rounds and you can kill them one by one.
After they are gone, you should either run around the map, slowly taking out
Juggernauts, or you can position yourself so that the Juggernaut cannot hit
you and shoot him. It’s good to leave a sentry gun on the partly covered tunnel
because, for some reason, the Juggernaut that would normally shoot you from
there will leave after destroying the sentry.

This strategy works for both solo and two player.

You can also camp in the building with the air support armory since this
provides good protection as well.

–Bootleg–

The best camping spot on this world is east of where you respawn. There’s an
entrance to another room there with a metal window that you can shoot enemies
through that they can’t shoot you through. You can place your sentry guns both
toward that spot or one facing that spot and one facing the direction towards
where you spawned, in the south western part of the map.

–Hardhat–

There are several places to camp, but none of them seem terribly better than
the others. Thus, this is another map that you probably won’t be able to camp
forever at. However, you can place your sentry guns in the tunnel and have
complete protection from air support, and this limits the ways that the enemy
can attack you (just make sure to cover your back with claymores, especially if
you’re playing solo). You can also try camping outside of the tunnel, placing
your sentry guns so that they cover the north side, while you cover the two
other sides.

–Fallen–

One of the best camping spots on this world is in the building just east of
where you spawn. A lot of the soldiers will then gather on the rooftop to
the north east of that building, and the window is a very nice spot for
taking out enemy soldiers. You can either cover your back with another
player or with a sentry guns and explosives.

Another strategy that works well would be to camp underneath the truck
which is just north of the building north of the building for the other
strategy. If you position yourself near the back of the truck, the soldiers
can only attack you from the two spots from the front of the truck if you
are closer to the middle of the truck or only from the back of the truck if
you’re nearer to the back of the truck. You are protected from dogs, air
support and soldiers and dogs if you stay in the correct area. You will be
harmed by rolling grenades, but the soldiers throw them very rarely.

–Outpost–

This map has one of the best camping spots. It is on the far north side of the
map. You can use a sentry gun in the tunnel and since it’s very narrow and
long, it’s hard for enemies to take it out. You can also place a sentry gun on
the other side of the tunnel if you start to run into trouble. You can fight
enemies through the big window, or you can move towards the east exit and take
them out there. Since this spot has a lot of cover and it has a lot of room,
you can very easily survive here.

–Lockdown–

For co-op, the best spot on this map for high waves is in the building just
west of your starting point, on the second floor in the small room. One of you
should plant explosives all over the building and hide behind the wall. The
other player should stay in the doorway and shoot enemies with a LMG. When the
player in the doorway goes down, the other player can hide behind the wall and
revive his partner.

–Arkaden–

During the earlier rounds, you can opt to camp behind the counter on the top
floor of the mall, or you can camp behind the fast food restaurant counter on
the bottom of the wall, though attack dogs and juggernauts can still climb
over.

Later on, probably your best shot is to try to hold out in the back room on the
top floor of the mall as long as you can before having to run around the map
picking off enemies.

–Downturn–

On this map, the best spot to camp is the northwest corner of the building in
the northwest part of the map. If you go prone behind the two desks, the
soldiers can only hit you through a crack (which you can attack them from as
well and they generally only attack one at a time) and you are protected from
juggernauts, choppers and attack dogs. The only other way that you can die is
if a soldier throws a grenade at you. You can simply throw back the grenades
though. This gives you an amazing advantage, especially since you can hit
soldiers through the desk, and they can’t.

–Bakaara–

The best spot to camp on this map is in the building just east of your spawn
point. If you place the sentry gun near the sandbags on the second floor, the
troops will be unable to shoot at it and the gun can take out air support and
the troops easily. On later waves, it will be important to take out the
choppers, because you will probably need to move around the map a lot.
