Why is that we can camp the bottom room at the RHA spot at the end of the long staircase on extraction only ?
Badly worded 
I do it cause pro soloer do it, so why do u camp there on extrac, and not on any other wave ?
escape route is not worse and spawns come fast at you there too. missiling might be less efficient, but it s only for few waves.
Firstly, that strategy works well only against cerberus. All other factions actively try to flank you.
Sometimes, even Cerberus flank you or they troll spawn behind you. But it's rare - may be 1 in 10.
The reason it works well against cerberus w11 is because of the nature of enemies. Phantoms and goons tend to take the shortest route and rush you. So, they keep respawning at the top of the ramp and quickly rush you.
The reason it doesn't work well on other waves is because of the lack of dragoons (and lack of phantom spam to an extent) - as simple as that. Troopers, centurions, nemeses, engineers fight from cover and staying at the bottom of the ramp is not useful as you won't have direct LoS most of the time.

I did that against geth too, and wasnt flanked.
But, thanks, pretty clear like that
And what's with all these Glacier topics?

Glacier is cool.

Icy what you did there.

Snow doubt about it.
OT: I'd rather rush spawns on regular waves rather than camp the ramp, so that's my reasoning for not doing it the whole game.
You can kind of camp Reapers Wave 11 (Extraction) as well because of how single-minded the Brutes are. But eventually the Banshees push you away.
Unless you are really fast at killing double Banshees in which case you should be solo'ing Platinum instead.

If you've all kept all your missiles to wave 11, and can arrange to take turns, you have 120 seconds and 24 missiles, or one FTL every 5 seconds for the duration of extraction.

You forgot to point out that enemies never spawn in the extraction zone on w11, which limits their spawning pretty much to lab, since you're already blocking the basement by being there. That's why this camping wouldn't work any other wave - you'd be flanked faster than you can say "GI".

nice, i missed this most obvious reason
My spot on extraction in Glacier..Is the upper left room, that way I block spawns from that little room to the left, keeping them trapped in the basement or very back room..plenty of room there left to maneuver.

I don't quite understand what you mean, but I pimped&updated the Glacier graphic so you can tell me exactly what you mean:
I start extraction half way between 1 and 5 blocking both of those spawn points..sometimes there is a spawn on 7 right away..but its rare..everything spawns in basement..I start by taking out smaller units.that are coming up the 7 stairs and the old camping room...work around Bosses..With 1 minute left..I start circling between 9 and 8 back and for confusing the hell out of the bosses..like Primes..they are stuck in the middle upstairs rooms because they cant decide which way to chase me..Usually just 1 nuke used to clear EZ...bam..PayDay!!!!!!!
I hardly ever see anything big spawn at 5. Is 5's spawn only for humanoid units that can drop down from the ceiling?
I don't know for certain but it seems that Geth mooks, Collector mooks (except abombs) and Marauders should be able to spawn there.
