Important note: You have to re-load the map every time you die. You have to manually quit the map when there's no more locust spawning. As of beta 1, the "Linear game mode" is WIP (Work In Progress) Thus incomplete.
This is another endurance level - my first Gears of War level. Once the level starts, you will be given 2 game mode to chose from. One is the limit-less Endurance, and the other is linear, which means the AI will spawn like if it was a normal SP level with a final wave. It gets harder and harder.

If you find any bug please let me know (Post pictures), I had a serious hard time trying to exclude the player from the AI spawning points, which most of the time are outside the level. I wanted it to be that way so the player isn't finding "the" perfect spot. Enemies may spawn from behind so, beware.
Info: In endurance mode, at each 5 waves you'll have a warning from Anya letting you know that locust reinforcements are en route. That means Theron guards will spawn somewhere in the level. Keep your head low. A sound is played when all the reinforcement units have been killed. you have 3 reinforcements, then the game ends after you killed both the 16th wave and 3rd reinforcement.
Tips: I would highly recomend that you think twice before smashing a AI, especially the grenadier, use your Lancer/HammerB quite often, bring enemies on their knees if they are close. Stick a grenade on a boomer right after he shot at you to save some time. If the boomer isn't shooting you, shot a few rounds at him while moving, that'll provoke him. He'll shot back instantly so keep your distances. The best moment to chainsaw your opponent is when they jump over an obstacle, or when they just got into cover. Take your chance if they are shooting at your teammate too.
The more feedback/suggestions/comments I get, the faster the final release will surface. I hope you have as much fun as I did with this level. Thanks for your downloads.

NOTE: If the directory doesn't exist, you'll have to create it manually.
Go to versus mode and start a local host game, you should see the map from there.
