That's all true. I think it would be a pretty easy thing for them to fix. If they took either map and simply eliminated anything as being too high or out of bounds, that would provide sniper-only opportunities. I personally find it annoying you have to get off the higher things, like, they are there and we can see them, why can't we play on them? (rhetorical, I'm sure it's because it would involve even more server load to process the higher fights). The boundaries should be falling off the islands into the water, and the shrinking ring, that's all.

As for drop-off damage, real snipers are able to murder victims at greater distances than we typically use in this game. From Business Insider:
"Snipers typically operate at ranges between 600 and 1,200 meters [about 3/4 of a mile], and occasionally take an enemy out from much farther away. A Canadian special forces sniper, for instance, shattered the world record for longest confirmed kill shot in 2017, shooting an ISIS fighter dead in Iraq from over two miles away."

And from Quora:
"50BMG round can be fired for effect to distances around 1.5-2 miles. With “effect” being you can still hit a man-sized target in area fire or aimed fire from something like a sniper rifle. In terms of maximum flight distance, 4–5 miles minimum depending on firing angle and terrain."
