The Problem:
Roof camping is, at the moment, one of the things that is ruining users experience on Dust. It actually makes battles boring and frustrating for everyone.
9/10 of the matches are full of roofcampers. One team roof camps and the other defend the letter from the ground: no one has fun.

Why is roof camping so difficult to counter?

• Roof in Dust are flat, it is easy for roof caers to hide from shooters on the ground.
• Roof are reachable only with Dropships.
• Roof campers spam uplinks so they can keep camping.

Possible fix to the problem:

Uplinks cant be placed on roofs. This is so simple.

Wasn't there some talk a while ago about only allowing uplinks to remain up to a certain height?
E.G After 10/20/ whatever meters up - uplinks disappear if deployed?

Yes. The idea of the topic is not new at all, the problem is old as Dust. King Babar had the idea more than a year ago.

Actually, we are not talking about how you should deal with roofcampers. We are talking about improving the gameplay for everyone, when people dont roofcamp matcher are like 10x funnier. I think we can all agree here.

Just put a redline on roofs (15 or 20 m up) for public fight , equipement explode directly and let 20 sec for
Mercs (for dropship pilots who crashed / jumps)

I believe we have multiple things in the game designed for this issue.

1.flux nades
2.mass drivers
3.drop ships
4.orbital strikes of the flux and laser variety.
5.sniper rifles

This would not be a problem if all weapons had good range and power.

It's just who has the best spot to camp in order to win. Before the AR, LR, CR got nerfed i remember killing people off the mushroom in biomass. Palatinate, one of the best rail rifle users that loved to camp the mushroom to defend the acid pits and the playstation building objective. Me not having the RR at the time... but i had a CR, it was good enough to bother him from the ground in order for my team mates to hack. It was good times, weapons did what weapons were suppose to do. If that scenario was in today's weapon meta, i would be sh*t out of luck because the only way to compete to his rail rifle is if i had a rail rifle too, otherwise he would outgun me and be able to camp there the whole game unless i go up close and personal wasting unnecessary resources and to me that is just an inconvenience and bullsh*t. It's not even fun to play. But hey yall gotta deal with the eve lore.

I agree that rooftop camping is lame and can really make a match boring

But it is a strategy that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't

I was in a Dom match yesterday where there was an assault forge gunner guarding the obj from a high location

This was a rare time when it was actually a lot of fun trying to counter by either counter forging or in my case calling in a Rail tank to take some shots at him and give him something else to shoot at

We did end up winning this match as after we contained the campers we took control of the city obj

Fly a dropship up to the roof and flatten them

Sooo would you prefer firing in rank in open fields revolutionary war style?

I always wondered why the hell people don't just fly up and clear the roof it's simple. Everyone has acces to milita drops ships but never use them... When a couple people on a roof are holding a whole team back it makes me laugh and think these guys are pathetic.

Multiple levels keep the game from being a meat grinder on every map... Imagine if every socket was the rabbit hole map

It would be boring and repetitive and the only suitable fits would be logis,
heavy's, mass drivers, and re fits.

Wtf, you can always use a viper with two hardeners at the same time, you can be immune to damage, the hardeners are broken and op

Edit: If you use 3 at the same time the damage is reduced by 96% aprox.
