I was playing the level on legendary this past week with Sputnik and Catch active and found a way to keep almost all of the rooftop Jackal snipers from spawning while completing the whole portion of the battle to the point where you go for the next Pelican LZ.
I decided to keep my Marines alive as long as possible this time, and the only way to do that is to keep them out of the battle, I blocked the path out of the crash site with a container that I rolled over to the bottom of the ramp down into the courtyard and then got up on the roof by jumping from the light fixture. This allowed me to pick off the grunts and jackals with my BR from afar and then go down and take out the elites from medium distance with the BR PP combo. I was having all of the fun to myself when I realized that I was not getting shot at by any jackal snipers. I managed to keep the marines bottled up the entire time, all the way through the Hunter battle at the doorway and no more than 1 ever appeared, and he was the first on that spawns. I fought almost the entire battle without ever going more than 10 seconds walk away from the blocked marines. The Phantom dropped its covies, the Buggers came and were dispatched, and the Hunter battle ensued, all without more than that 1 JS showing his ugly beak! I have a feeling that doing the battle this way kept the AI from spawning all of the other snipers cause they never showed up to the party!
