Eh, I used my rockets on wave 7 because everyone else died and I was too lazy to kill everything one at a time with my Drell adept.

Well yeah, being forced to solo changes the dynamic, if I start needing to use consumables to stay alive in that event (especially on Platinum), I do my best to make sure as many of those used consumables as possible are rockets.

object of the game is to.... have fun, but to answer your question it could be;
points or
kill streaks (max 3 per game)

getting more points for killing enemies and 3 kill  streaks per game gives more xp at the end of the match. more xp = faster level up = faster promotion = higher N7 rating and war assest for campain mode.

if you play with a level 20 character you waste xp, but that is ok. some people play with level 20's all of the time. its all about how "you" want to play the game

A lot of times I save my rockets for when we really need them (i.e. Wave 10, maybe Wave 6). However, if the rest of the team is doing the same and we're all working well together, there are a lot of matches where we don't even need to use 20 rockets. And since I have 155+ rockets available, I'll waste some on Wave 11. Just because.

I have nearly max rockets at all time, since I suck at the game, end up using gel too often, and restock with JEPs. If I'm on silver and I'm releveling and such, I'll use whatever rockets I have left on extraction just to drive the total number of points up, since I want XP.

When there are three Atlases, Banshees, Brutes, Primes or a hoard of mooks rushing us and I can't be bothered with their cr*p at that time.
Breathing space, basically. The reason I use rockets at any time.

There's no reason not to use them. When you have close to 200 of the bloody things, you kinda stop caring about how many you use.

I once used one on a lone cannibal because he gave me a hug when I wasn't in the hugging mood.

 Because i start each match with 5 in my kit, I may use on Wave 3 or wave 6 or wave 10...if any left over, handy for taking out spawn points at start of extraction, or to clear the way for the last minute dash to the EZ...either way, i have plenty, I'll use em when and how i want, or the team needs me too - cause i play to extract every single time B)

Did the same thing to a Maruader when he appeared between me and where I wanted to get to in a hurry - and tried rifle whipping me with his Mega Phaeston - times i'm thankful for the removal of the charge time delay :P

You have no idea how many times I've nuked a ton of swarmers just because I couldn't be assed to shoot them all one at a time.

I want to extract most of the time and sometimes you need to pop few rockets that you didn't need in Wave 10. And sometimes people want experience for their characters that aren't level 20.

Because they want to extract....?
If we made it to extraction wave, you can bet I won´t let you die in the middle of two brutes if there is something I can do about it. No one gets left behind.

 Because, contrary to popular belief, the rockets do retain their explosive nature and abilities on Wave 11.

I used to be super conservative with my Rockets.

But now I have like 240 of them and seem to get them faster than I can use them, so yeah... Now I just use them whenever I feel like it.

 What kills me a little on the inside  is that I've played so many games where I used my rockets early (bailing the team before the situation hits the fan finishing off  HVT targets on objective rounds for time bonuses etc..) Then there comes a situation where it really hits the fan I'm out of rockets and I know I have team mates that that have at least 3+ and they don't fire somehow we get through(usually with me saving us from the brink) and the moment wave 11 hits 3+ rockets can be herd launched  at the same time  <_<.

1. The way I see it, you really only have a right to complain about lack of rocket use on wave 10 if you fail to complete the objective because of it. People using leftover rockets on wave 11 isn't hurting anyone.

2. For some people part of the fun of the game is seeing the "Mission Successful" screen(shocking, I know) and as such will use a missile or 5 to ensure they get their "Mission Successful" screen.

3. You could be RedJohn and shoot off all your rockets into the air for teh lulz.

If I have missiles left over on wave 11 I will use them when/if things get tight. Its kinda a pride thing. "I made it this far, **** you if im going to roll over and take it now!"

I'm using them as flares to call the shuttle down faster.


What if the rocket hits the shuttle?:lol:

I will use rockets in wave 11 if we already come here but no 3 kill streak.

Easy 10K exp for everyone, must make sure it.

Or only for make sure we can get full extraction, another 10K attractive.

Otherwise no reasons.


Ahh yes. The couple of Platinum games I played with you tend to be full extraction games. We would usually want to commit mass suicide by wave 10 after we get the money but for you, we are willing to make an exception as you need the XP.

This girl is a tough cookie. She could bring in a level 12 character into a Platinum match and solo-ed it after we were all bled out on Wave 9. I have seen her do it on more than one occassion.

She's one of the best Asia Pacific region player (she and HBSWong are platinum beasts). Platinum is a cake walk when playing with them. Thanks guys. :)

Why not ? I've got plenty of them, might as well use them and get full extraction.

If I didn't need them on any other wave I use them on wave 11 for fun..

Yeah! I don't care about using up my equipment. If I have it, I will use it.. =P
