Address roofs less radically

Consider the following:

But of course, #197 is never going to be implemented, is it. Because #197 is based and based ideas are not acceptable.

Fine.

Two fixes:

roofs which have enemies under them, flicker slightly with a red color. This would help mitigate surprise attacks where a HeavySniper shot randomly arrives at your skull from within a roof, fired by someone you had no idea even existed. Now, you can actually blame yourself for not noticing that the roof was flickering red.
each time an enemy fires, a red dot briefly appears on top of a roof. The dot is roughly landmine-sized. This addresses the fact that, currently, it's literally impossible to aim at someone inside of a roof you haven't revealed. Note that this dot is not equivalent to seeing the person: the dot is stationary, so you get no info about a player's movement, and still have to guess that. Thus, the roof is still advantageous to the player inside of it. But at least now aiming into the roof is not a complete guess. Also, because the dots appear each time a bullet is fired, they discourage spam guns and give an advantage to snipers, which i quite like the sound of.

Quite frankly i should just sit down and implement this... really not that hard...

Removing roofs is better but yeah this is a good solution.

Why can't the roof be translucent ?

How's that different from just outright removing it..?
