Several games before Gears of War 2 have had a survival mode, hell one of Bungies very old games Marathon had a survival mode aswell.

Not copied but the same concept in general. Fight waves of dumbass AI until they become damm near invincible and kill you. Like any other survival mode game.

It may just be they become more aggressive. Their health may not change but their numbers and tactics will.

Its basically like Horde. And also a lot like WaW's zombie game, which basically copied Horde too

Two movies you should watch: Fight Club and Pineapple Express

"Wait. What do you mean, it's dead?"
"If marijuana is not legal within the next five years I have no faith left in humanity, period. Everyone likes smoking weed. They have for thousands of years. They're not going to stop anytime soon. You know? It makes everything better. Makes food taste better, makes music better. It makes sex feel better for God's sake. It makes -blam!- movies better you know?"

Well if you want to put it this way, Bungie made a zombies mode for Halo 3 which, even though it wasn't against AI, was a survival mode on its own.

Those are basically Survival from marathon:Durandel/Infinity, which were late 90's. Only difference being:

1. Not indefinite rounds (on one of them).
2. Most survival modes, excluding right wing zombies, aren't winnable by boarding up windows.
3.Not every weapon in the game + lots of ammo lying around in a small, specialized arena.

NEITHER of those two includes the concept of an Armory, being shelled whilst fighting, enemy formations, Turrets, vehicles, 'boss' battles every few rounds (whilst being shelled)...I could go on, but you probably get the point.

what you all need to understand is that its a game not life
