I bought the MW3 Hardened edition, and so got CoD Elite along with it. I was looking forward to some Survival Mode stats in Elite, but so far have not found any. Or tips, maps, other stuff (more on this later). So I decided to make my own.
Here is Resistance, the red W is the weapons armory, E is the explosives armory, and A is the air support armory.
S = Sentry gun, with the arc showing it's swinging motion
I've also played with my brother and we found the building in the middle of the map makes for a decent defensive point:
And then there are some videos on Youtube where the players get really high by using the small store in the bottom right of the map, putting a sentry gun facing out the door, and placing claymores up the back stairs. I haven't tried this yet, but it seems pretty effective.
Here's level 40 with this strategy (not my video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWOdwZ0P7F8
Edit: After giving this one a try I can say it's very good. I have a hard time getting past the mid-20s on most maps, but I got to wave 34 on this map in the souvenir shop.
Resistance is a Tier 1 map.
Helicopter waves: 6, 23+
Juggernaut waves: 10, 15, 20, 26, 30, 34
