How do all these people manage to get on rooftops in 2142???

I play mostly Fall of Berlin, and every single game theres a squad or two camping on the rooftops. So annoying.

If they are in squads, you can drop a Squad Spawn beacon right next to the building and when you respawn in a pod you can direct it on to the building.
OR
In FF off servers they use RDX to get on there.

Yup. On some servers, this is considered cheat and players can get kicked. Generally, tell you commander to direct an orbital strike on the rooftop beacon.

Rdx?

With friendly fire off throw an RDX mine down, stand on it and detonate. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee up in the air you go!!!!

Not sure if this one was fixed in the last patch though??

Ahh I see. Might have to try this out to counter act all the nonsense.

SL Beacon is probably the easiest way. Once you learn how to control the beacon, you can land on the roofs no problem. Basically you face away from where you want to go and "wiggle" the mouse back and forth while holding S (back). You'll move backwards towards the roof.

There's also some "bug" with the squad leader recon drone that if you EMP it and then climb on it while it's on the ground, it will take you up and up and up and up, etc etc.

Just pick them off one by one with a sniper rifle. Talk about massive kills man when they keep spawning.

But RDX usually won't get you that high and you cannot steer while you in air (you can only steer when you're in a pod) so it's rare that you can use RDX to get to top of the buildings in Fall Of Berlins. But SL beacon can take you there. Just put a upgrade point in SLSB and create a squad in game and try to invite 1 member and you'll be able to drop the SLSB.

Btw, what's your name in Bf2142?

Especially in Minsk, a good camp position to get to by either pod or plane are the tall buildings

Good counters to roof campers are: becoming a sniper yourself, the assault's PK-74 rockets, APC secondary position grenade launcher, support's Ganz. Any of the armor's machine guns work well for this as well

Or getting/being a good transport/gunship pilot with a good gunner
