Yes.

Yesterday, I saw a dude shoot a missile at an Atlas that was the last enemy in the wave, had 1 (one) square of armor left and was already under fire from us three other players. In Bronze. (yes, I play bronze and silver equally these days, so shoot me, I still haven't got the hang of the Revenant's scatter)

I really regretted not having my headset plugged in at that moment.

On a personal note, I try not to use them at all unless totally desperate (i.e. sole survivor surrounded by a Banshee with retinue with no spare medigel or shield rechargers) or unless very tasty target available (f.e. two Brutes hugging a Banshee which happens a lot in Reactor).

What annoys me is when lag makes it so I use one to no effect. No explosion, nothing, but the counter went down anyway. Then I get taken down by the 2 Banshees and Brutes I was aiming at.

I only mind when people waste them in Gold. Bronze and Silver, eh not as big of a deal. But when I see missiles flying on wave 3 of a Gold match I just facepalm.

[Thuggy]

Doesn't bother me in the least, I currently have 5 missiles/match which should be more than enough. If there are more than 3-4 "oh crap we need a missile" moments in a match, even on Gold...there are usually bigger issues at play than someone wasting one on wave 5.

Well it's a team game, so stupid decisions affect the whole team. On bronze it's mostly the lack of experience, I guess. Most likely they recall Prime/Banshee/Brute/Atlas from single player as being dangerous and/or died in MP games because of one.

I don't really care on gold, because most players got 5 launchers so a single shot wasted does not hurt too much.

On the other hand it's rather annyoing when players use their launcher in uncritical situations just to get kills but do not use it in critical situations (i.e. the money rounds) to clear the way to an objective or a revive.

I tend to fire missiles pretty freely on gold, mostly just to speed up matches. I still have near the cap (255) of missiles, and seem to constantly get more. Feels like a waste not to if I'm just going to bump up against the cap again later.

Eliminating the targets faster if they are 4 geth primes helps the team and gives you a credit bonus= not a waste

I just laugh because it's not my equipment that's being wasted. If they want to spam their missiles on the first bronze 10% health brute they see, have at it.

So quite often when I'm playing bronze or silver I'll see some idiot waste a missile launcher on the first Atlas or Geth Prime that appears in the match, and nobody is in any particular danger either. IMO it's situationally acceptable in gold to use them before wave 10, but I just rage when I see someone waste their missiles in the more casual modes like that. Does anyone just rage and ask themselves "WHY!?" when they see someone else do this?

Seeing this topic made me lololol. But, yeah... I have a couple of people I play with regularly and when I see someone use a missle launcher on Bronze everyone hears me say, "Are you serious?!?" This is followed by laughing from my regs then a brief pause before we whip out our own missle launchers and go on a troll/rage spree. Next thing you know 10-15 missles are being used on Cannibals/Husks, Cerberus Troopers, or Geth Troopers. Basically the lowest level characters are being blown to bits to demonstrate how pointless it is to use a rocket on Bronze. 

Silver, yeah I feel the same way if a missle is used before wave 10 if we're playing with a low random. I'm like, "..." Especially when an Atlas/Banshee/Prime/Brute/Ravager is almost dead and some trigger-happy person whips out a rocket to finish the job... <_<

[Kosmiker]

I rather waste the missile than the opportunity. Nothing worst then ending all dead because of a "oh I'll save it for later".

[BlackAlpha]

I think some people think the more kills they make themselves, the more money/xp they get, hence they use missiles to get all the kills.

It's the only explanation I can think off. Why else waste a perfectly good missile?

[Hectic Inspiration]

Using missile launchers on Bronze is a waste.

[humes spork]

Bare minimum, there are eight missiles in each game. Four players, each player has two at the minimum. Bare maximum, there are 20 for god's sake -- four players, five each. You never need missiles on bronze, and might need one or two in the later silver rounds. Outside that, who gives a damn? Missiles are a consumable that's easy as hell to replenish and keep stocked, so why not? If you want to shoot off a missile for the sake of expediency in a later bronze wave, for the love of god do it!

I have enough missiles stockpiled it would take me weeks of playing, blowing off my entire missile count in every round, to even get to the point conserving the things would even be a concern. Yeah, if you have below 20 missiles total or somesuch you may want to be a little picky, but outside that screw it. Worst case scenario you speed up a match and increase your rate of credit gain, which means you get more missiles, faster.

Hey, it's their missiles they're wasting so I don't care.

Not if you have to use missiles in wave 11 to prevent perma-kills because they've used up all their missiles.

You never need missiles on bronze

False. There's always one guy who will run off to get perma-killed by a banshee/atlas in wave 11.

Some people just want to see world burn .. I don't hesitate to use them in gold round 10. Other than that I think twice.

If everyone saves his/her missiles until they are actually NEEDED, there is a much better chance of success.

Yeah, right now it seems like there are two common types of players:

Players that waste missles for no reason, all the time.
Players that NEVER use missiles or medigel, even when we desperately need them. I love playing gold and using all my missiles when **** hits the fan and we really need them, then on wave 10 not a single teammate returns the favor and we all wipe, even after I tell them I'm all out of missiles.

[Tangster]

@OP. Not at all.

[CNevarezN]

My philosophy is, "When in Doubt, whip it out!"

[Zulakkar]

What TRULY ANGERS me is when the missile flies straight through a brute or 2 without touching them, due to lag or something now that pisses me off.

Yep. Puts me straight into rage mode. 3 brutes and a few banshees right on front of me. fire right in between them, rocket just disappears into the floor and doesn't explode: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[GFOX7]

 It makes me angrier when I'm getting ready to hit a Geth Prime with a missile, and then they stagger me and it magically disappears, forcing me to use another one if I have it.

The only thing that's worse is when the missile flies past them and moments later the entire team gets a message how you used a missile to kill a single... husk.

[Mandalore313]

It's only a waste when they don't hit their target/pass through them.

"That's" what pisses me off. But after a while I remember I have 200 more of these and rarely use them so w/e.
