Also, I can't help feeling that it's kind of neat that there are areas only dropships can reach. They're otherwise the most long-suffering vehicle in the game.

If someone can't be bothered to call in a dropship of their own,

but, why would you use a dropship when there is a ladder?

Sense Orbital strikes now land on these high areas that is a extremely effective way to counter it, Or fly a drop ship up there yourselves, you may say, "But he got forge gun i can't do it" Sneak around behind him, get teammates to distract him.

I think the problem at present is that the aforementioned perches are large enough that they provide cover from sniper fire, overlook objectives and can easily defend itself from a dropship. Yes it means they are not on an objective, but it allows 1 guy to be virtually unassailable.

This identifies 2 significant causes, 1st, the dropship has no defence from a forgegun on a roof top. 2nd It is too easy to cover an objective without being visible to countersniping.

Like I said, it's not 100% safe. Not even close. You put stairs and ladders everywhere, people are just going to snipe from the redzone.

Try counter-forge gunning, or landing/crashing a dropship onto/into them. Or use a railgun installation. Or just ignore them and go about the rest of the match. Putting stairs or ladders up to there just means they'll have someone parked at the top, with that same proto forge gun trained on it, or maybe some REs.

I've dealt with this same issue. I either leave them be and try to deal with accessible enemies, or I spend the entire match forcing them to stay away from the edge, thus being unable to exploit their elevated position. I might not kill them, but they'll have a much harder time killing anyone else.

Yes, I'd love to so people sabotaging the rooftops, would make the game a lot more dynamic.

And do you feel a sense of fulfillment, a success if you will, by sitting there and non-lethally counter sniping? In all honesty that question is really determined by opinion; some people do find it fulfilling.

I personally don't but find fulfillment in shooting people in the back when they believe they are high above the danger. That is where my fulfillment lies and the only sane means of doing that is via ground access (as previous stated dropship charges are suicidal). These measures do not prevent you from non-lethal countersniping, and open me up to back-shooting. It's a win-win.

See a Four man heavy squad with rep nanohives down on a roof, you're not going to get rid of them and because they're killing you, they're the one with the OB, not you.

I feel there should be more accessibility to roof tops, Ladders, additional walkways and stairs would be nice. And to combat the "BUT THEY'LL USE THEM IN THE RED LINE" argument, don't place said structures in the red line :)

No, because it robs those players of a well-earned position and already balanced strategy by giving easy access to people without the skill to get up there the same way. And let's be honest; the point of the stairs/ladder idea was never to ADD anything to the gameplay, it was to make things harder for snipers.

Yes, there are already people sniping from behind the redline. But if this is implemented and perches are compromised, a great deal MORE people will be doing it. People with actual skill, and it will be a LOT more frustrating.

People need to understand, you're never going to convince snipers to run headfirst into the fray, or to put down their sniper rifles and pick up ARs by breaking their tactics and strategies.

No one is saying they'll use those structures in the redline. They'll just snipe and forge gun from the redline rather than the rooftop.

If they can shoot down, you can shoot up...problem solved
