Have you actually used any of these sniping spots yourself? How easily do you think they could have truly spotted the other party? You only spotted them because you got close enough for your Passive scanners to pick them up.

Did you watch it with the sound off? I said I was going up there because my team told me there were snipers up there. I prep my hardeners before they even show up on passive.

So all of those guys on the tower were in your squad chat? Or were they not on comms?

I doubt any of them were in team chat. The default for voice chat is "off" last I checked.

Basically, if they're outside of your communication bubble the phrase "my team told me" sums up how out-of-touch you are with what was going on in the battle. It holds no merit because the reporting teammates were checking a range of points that are occupied about 60% of the time, while the snipers would have been asked to look down a range that is co-occupied about 2% of the time.

You have to think these kinds of things through logically.

Are you defending 7 snipers all looking at the same point, without even looking to counter-snipe, as a viable tactic?

Watch it again. I clearly say the poor map design has not left many good spots and that snipers are forced into bad spots and this is not their fault. But seven guys sniping from a roof ignoring the snipers that even the ground troops managed to spot? Have you actually used any of these sniping spots yourself? How easily do you think they could have truly spotted the other party? You only spotted them because you got close enough for your Passive scanners to pick them up. Then again, the other team would have needed a dropship to get up there, which would have been pretty hard to ignore really... Mmm... Unless they were there first, then the allies positioned at the top of the tower. And, yes, you state that snipers have few locations to shoot from, then complain that because they're using one of those locations that happens to be the best one from all the options, that they are suddenly douches. Double standard it is. http://youtu.be/dtXupQg77SU Dust to Dust Remember the dream you had before the day you were born.

It's not fun. CCP built the maps that way. These kinds of venues are some of the few that are available, not because they were intended, but because they were Overlooked by the map development team. You are welcome to try and point out other venues for snipers to play from, but I can tell you, there are only about 3-4 regions you can play in on a map like that and they are all elevated hills or rooves, all the others are completely obstructed by obstacles. http://youtu.be/dtXupQg77SU Dust to Dust Remember the dream you had before the day you were born.
