Why are we the only game without a nuke?

Bushido's mini-nuke didn't cause any lag to anyone without an outdated windows 95 computer. And personally, I never saw a problem with it, yet it was failbin'd anyways.

lol violent sandbox game.
you may need to adjust your standards for what exactly is deemed violent
Pulchritude:
We don't like lag inducing stuff that overwrites the base add-ons of the game.
In other words, we don't like stuff.

It isn't violent unless it's Counter Strike EXTREME GORE EDITION, or Hello Kitty Online :cookieMonster:
General Nick:
Because nobody can make an actual nuke in this game, only some weapon that has a stuff load of emitters jam packed into its explosions.
It's pretty hard to make a nuke in this game because it requires a lot of special scripting to make it actually look like a nuke. For it to actually look like a nuke you need bright light everywhere, a multi-colored mushroom cloud and a shockwave, while also killing anyone within 0.5 miles in-game.
This is why we have no "good proper" nuke. Bushido's Mini-Nuke is in a sense not technically a nuke because it's just a big explosion. No mushroom cloud or anything.
