I have a few proposals to get rid of the scumbaggery that is seemingly inescapable in this game, and by that I mean people getting to high places and deploying Uplinks and/or dropping down to win matches.

Would it be possible CCP to make it so -

GÇó Drop Uplinks automatically blow up like they used to when you put them on anything but completely flat, open ground when placed over a certain height in the level? take say, the lowest roof next to an objective and make that the cap - then *poof* no more scumbags - you can still traverse the rooftops as free as you like, but putting down pads is impossible
*Or*
GÇó Make it so all the common (you only have to play a level once or twice before you realise which these are) scumbag spots are covered in that funky green stuff that slowly damages you - thereby the pads get destroyed after a matter of seconds.
*Or*
GÇó Make all the high, flat spots completely slanted so clones/vehicles/equipment simply slide off to the area below

I really think it would improve gameplay if this weren't the 'go-to' stratagem once the match begins. Hopefully the upcoming strafing changes will make the game a little more 'grown up' but this type of cheap $hit really needs to be stamped out.

Placing uplinks in high places/Hidden places is actually more tactical than just placing them on the ground to get spawn camped. I see no problem with uplinks in high places unless poorly placed.

The buildings on top of the roof (need ladders, but myofibs can get on one of them) control the roof

As Sicerly already pointed out, there are flux strikes that you can use to take out uplinks as a squad leader.

you know all those things that people complain about such as myos or the things that people consider pointless like small flux strikes?

well thats your counter so use it instead of complaining

you also have access to drop ships with mobile cru's

you can counter high ground by sniping people off of the top of buildings

it only takes 300 WP to use a small flux strike

most roofs you can access trough use of myos

if you are complaining about roof tops then you need to learn how to play this game its not all about who has better gun game
this is a tactical shooter as stated by Rat man or at least thats the direction this game is going hopefully

if roof tops ruin your game then learn to use them to your advantage

The problem is, a minor flux strike has a smaller radius than a flux grenade.
