I see it a lot more than I used to.

From BSNers, too. A lot of objective wave spawn nuking, often during escorts/1234 devices.

Wait, is this frowned upon?

I often find myself having to nuke enemy mobs when they cluster the objective on wave 10, or during escort when the drone randomly decides to turn a corner into EVERYTHING.

The only objective I'm confident in handling without missiles is pizza.

During an Escort using a rocket to clear the Drone's path, or even force a couple of Boss Units to re-spawn that have the Drone in a crossfire makes perfect sense.

But I'm referring to nuking the first spawn, even when it's nowhere near the objective. That often causes the units to re-spawn closer to the objective, which costs more resources and/or is more likely to slow the Objective down.

Extraction is a waste.

You get more money per unit of time if you suicide right after Wave 10 Objective. The 10% extra from extraction is not enough to counterbalance this.

Shame that few people actually studied their grade school maths in order to see this.

You are obviously unfamiliar with console load times.

I admit I am. How long is it? If it's longer than 30 seconds it might make Extraction worth it.

Sometimes people just does it out of ignorance. I've asked some of my friends before why they missile during extraction and they have no idea what a infinite spawn budget is.

It can vary, but it's more than 30 seconds on Xbox, and longer still on PS 3.

Holy sh!t o__O ... I take back everything bad I've ever said about Origin. I often get pissed off and Alt-Tab out because the loading time is longer than 10 seconds - I feel like a spoiled princess now.

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....


I've done it out of:

1. Sheer spite.

2. Being next to a really heavy spawn and not being able to resist.

Also, it doesn't accomplish nothing, it buys at least a couple of seconds.

Except Geth. Even then, you shouldn't have any rockets left.

Whenever I see "PUG [Missile Launcher] Combat Drone", I scream for joy and give cyber high fives. NICE!

I will concede that if I can get everyone to Extraction without missiles I will, but if it get's dicey, I unload missiles just for fun. If I can turn a routine extraction into a nightmare, so much the better :)

How I hate folks who want me to carry their low level char for "experience." If you need the experience points, stay in lolsilver. You're not good enough to be effective if you whine about "perfect games" being ruined.

I must nuke those extraction spawns to pad my score, OP, so I can make a screen cap and post a thread on BSN about how bad pugs are as an excuse to point out my awesome score. I still need to do that 5 times to obtain the BSN mastery banner.

Sometimes a smart spawn nuke or 2 may be required.

Giant is a good example. If you are holding the LZ 1 rocket into the back room left hand side then 1 in the right hand side will clear the spawns and they will spawn on the far side and move in towards you (instead of constantly spawning in the back room non stop). Or if you are in the downstairs control room by the ammo box/ladder and waiting to go to the LZ sometimes a spawn nuke down by the ledge/ammobox/crates/ladder is required to push that spawn further away.

Nuking to nuke is just dumb. Its always mind boggling to me when you go hide and never shoot anything the entire extraction wave and the puggles go spawn nuke happy --- but you still outscored 2nd by 100k.  .

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.


This. If I see a particularly good spawn, I'll wack it for the XP. Still working on N7 Mastery. Every little bit helps.

Only launch missile during objectives that go wrong.
Also if I am soloing the rest of the wave and get overwhelmed.
Normally wave 11 pugs run to the EZ and hold the line.
I sit on the other side of the map waiting for the countdown
reaches 30 seconds. Use missiles only if the enemy blocks my way.

I was just in a lobby with Di-Datau and Kouzrah and a BotB player joined. Di-Datau was clearly leading the score board until the BotB guy starts nuking spawns and bosses on extraction wave like crazy, only to outscore Di by a few thousand points.

My first reaction was "Really? On extraction wave?", but when the spawns kept dying we were just laughing. The next game I switched to a Claymore GI and the three of us outscored him the whole game. Then on extraction wave we started nuking spawns while laughing at him (I brought AC V just for that). He also did it again.

He only send Kouzrah a FR. Maybe because she is a girl. And french. Definitely the french part. :wub:


Easiest 2 Killstreaks medal I ever got.

And I think [Redacted] is a pretty cool guy, eh nuke spawns on extractions and doesn't afraid of anything.
