Breakthrough flags on rooftops unacceptable/unwinable! Move them immediately! Even call of duty isn't designed this poorly! [Edit: All caps removed from title and topic - ElliotLH]

Hard but not unwinnable. I've been on a team that won it. Once.

@MLGESUS42069 I'm just talking about hourglass. Orbital is easy, kaleidoscope is doable, hourglass only if noobs on defense.I was on the defender team that did not secure the 2 rooftops but instead wanted to be on the ground. There might have been 10 defenders including myself on the objective roof and no one on the rooftop next to it. They also had better pilots so the air was their's. After getting bombarded by air attacks a bolte 30mm from the neighboring rooftop, 2 hovercrafts coming up the sides, and enemies coming from both elevators the roof was lost. All defense vehicles were being used on the ground so none were on rooftop.The times we won as attackers the same situation happened. Weak defense on top and weak air. I have never won against a strong rooftop defense. That's typically a tank, wildcat, bolte all up on top. Decent amount of medics and angels with loadout crates.Possible fix. Don't allow rooftop vehicle air drops.

once, and that is acceptable to you? Here is my experience thus far with the game on breakthrough. Get to any sector with a flag on a rooftop. make way to building with only an elevator to get up. elevator door opens into bunch of vehicles and rocket launchers instantly * pounding everyone inside, repeat. sit at the base of the building and watch team try to glitch hovercraft up the side of the building for 20 min, lose the match, repeat. I have been playing fps games for nearly 25 years even as far back as doom 2 and quake, never seen anything this * before. top 3% player on battlefield 5 and battlefield 1. Played bf4 too and it wasn't nearly this bad. At least they had fun maps that were not just a giant empty wasteland of nothingness like the prison and the metro map. you cant even blow the building up and this game is almost a decade newer. What the actual *.

@MLGESUS42069 They are fine, and should be kept there, however they could add a couple of random variations.I have lost and won on all of these BT maps and winning a hard map against a decent opponent team is really rewarding.On the other had, loosing is very frustrating.Bu why should every game be a walk in the park?

Been on both sides win and lost was good point earners but * that think this was bad never played the original hardcore op metro capture point B 64 v 64 that was best map had multiple servers running an hour a game. Took skill and time to capture and hold could play these all day not these new points just might as well not bother if they want to play a game for babies then let them return to COD with micro tramsactions and 8 v 8 or whatever perfetic team it is in a map the size of one capture point. Let the real BF gamers enjoy their modes or they need to make portal as promised game and map modes created by gamers for the gamers ill make it back on the roof all day every day

@MLGESUS42069suposedly they would move the objectives down to the ground but that is still on the drawing board.

I wish they could increase the transport heli slots just for this sector until then

Agree. They need to change position to the flag and don't allowed to call vehicle on roofs.

@SoMuchHardif the former is done, the later does not need to happen.
vehicles that are not in objective roofs have just stranded themselves

I actually like the roof top objectives, as I've seen a whole squad of dudes with shields lead the way and rush an elevator to cap. Happened only once, but it was still cool, paired with smoke grenades. What needs to be fixed is the vehicles. There should be some easy coding that ground vehicles will detonate if players get in them above X altitude. Having 3 bolts and a wildcat on top of a roof is just not fun and nearly impossible to counter without perfect teamwork and 10 drones taking turns EMPing.
