Why do people do this. They'd rather die and wipe-out on Wave 6 or 10, but once in Wave 11, out comes the missles and they start nuking spawns. I'd rather not shoot anything and wait on the other side of the map till there's 30 seconds to go (60 for Juggs). Sure I'll clear a path or the LZ if required, but I'd rather save my stuff for the next encounter.
i don't care so much that they are nuking the spawns, but rather why couldn't they use the missle at a more timely moment.
Agree/Disagree?
Spawn nuking on extraction is a waste.

They believe that nuking wave 11 spawns gets them more points than any other wave, thus increasing the size of their epeen.

Funny, this has simply never been discussed here before.
I do agree OP, it is a scrubby move and those that do it do it for epeen's sake, which means RLpeen is underwhelming at best.

Just to play devil's advocate: Maybe some promoters do it to get more exp to level up faster or newer players just don't understand how the spawn system works on extraction.

My friends and I refer to it as the "Michael Bay" wave because we all pull out our missiles and spawn nuke the crap outta stuff for fun.
Of course, I get where you're coming from. My squad and I are good enough to just not give a crap about our missile usage, but noobs who refuse to use them in dire straits and then just waste them on Wave 11 are REALLY annoying.

I had a competent Best of the Best Ghost Infiltrator using a Harrier missle the spawns at wave 11 four different spawns.
I had the impression that player was trying to outscore my Asari Justicar Saber Reave

Nuking on wave 11 is one of the most stupid things i've ever seen.
PUGs love that, they slow down the game doing a lot of stupid things and dying, not doing objectives, not using launchers in hack objective when we are surrounded, then, I, the mid average player, the idiot who has to take the entire match, I have to do all the things.
Then wave 11 starts, PUG #1, #2 and #3 start running all over the map nuking spawns.........
WTF PUG!? Seriously, this is so freaking stupid, the game won't go faster, you won't earn more credits.
One day I asked them why, one of them said it was for the score, but dude!, i'm over 150K ahead you, you won't even get close even if you have 10 rockets!, besides why not use them to speedup the game, you know, in early waves you get score points when you use your rockets to speedup the game!.
But they just don't understand :/

also i fire one to make room for everyone to haul ass to the LZ. (done a lot in fbwgg days)
and i fire the rest of my missles vs collectors for the banner.
fun facts:
vs. Cerberus sliver,on waves 10 and 11 if you nuke the atlases and phantom, you will get a swarm of guardians to grind against.
and vs collectors/reapers bronze and sliver, if you nuke the praetorian / banshees on wave 10/11,
lots of scions / brutes will respawn to replace them.
forgot geth. used to be swarms of pyros but now i think its bombers

why save them? Are you going to win an award for most kept missles? Nuking gets "free" big point kills, big point kills = more XP, more XP means I spend less time having to carry an entire team of level 20s at level 5, and more time carrying them at level 12+.
Had a 206K point game with a group a level 20 players the other day, I was level 7. Level f*ckin 7. Without using all my missles.

I've seen some more "experienced" players that should definitely know better missile nuking spawns on wave 11, and it had nothing to do with levelling up. I guess they had their reasons....

When you have a maxed manifest, why not waste consumables if you see fit? I never save missiles if the mission can run smoother with them but if I want to nuke every swarmer I see on wave eleven so be it. If I want to chain ammo packs and throw 70 nades straight into the air just for chits and grins who cares?
People are too concerned with the actions of others to have fun sometimes. If someone isn't cheating or leeching I couldn't give a damn less what they do in game.

I love to dump a spawn on top of the randoms running towards the LZ at the start of wave 11 by nuking the one in front of me.
it's the only reasonable course of action in this circumstance...

Good post.
This spam missile crap on wave 11 has trickled down to players that have a good n7 and challenge ratings..
Had one yesterday... He started using his missiles at extraction and he managed to save one last missile to us in THE LAST FIVE SECONDS of the wave which allowed him to pass me in points..
To me, scoring more doesnt mean or prove a thing... Doesnt make you "better" than the rest of the team..
But there are people, experienced and new who think scoring the highest means "they won"... really annoying...
Unless cornered, using missile at extraction is a cheap move.
