First, a disclaimer: This is NOT a discussion on whether or not rooftop camping or spawning should be allowed by TG. If you start that discussion in any way, I'll have the mods delete your post or, barring that, close the thread entirely.

So what IS my point? Stop hurting your team. You're not being clever, and you're not accomplishing anything by camping rooftops in 9 situations out of ten. You may think your little 6 person squad camped on an insignificant roof doesn't hurt your team, but guess what? That's a fourth of the total team, and your team will most likely LOSE because of you. Yes, take that in. You're not just costing your team a few tickets here and there as your body falls 16 stories after being rocketed, you're providing little to no flag support, and this is practically putting your own team at a numerical disadvantage.

Take, for example, a game I had yesterday.



A full squad of TG tagged players camped the roof I've indicated. Meanwhile, my squad happily laid motion mines sealing EU into their base and letting EU bleed quickly to a loss (soon after this screen shot, my team takes the two neutral flags). Think for a second. How does that serve the team? Even if you manage to somehow wipe the people defending monorail out at the same time, by the time you jump down and run over to the flag, the defenders have spawned again.

So let's put it bluntly: you're letting your team down when you decide to go for the giggle-fest that is rooftop camping. Occasionally it serves a purpose, but this is rare, and you should have a specific reason for going up to a roof... not just because you can.

Again, this isn't a discussion about whether this type of thing should be banned, but it is one about whether your rooftop camping is serving a purpose. If you can reasonably justify it, fine. I'm not trying to stifle some creative uses of teamwork. But if you just want to go up top for a little laugh, keep in mind that your now seriously disadvantaged teammates might feel a little differently.
