Red's base is also higher in elevation, or at least it seems like it to me. Going red base to blue base always seems easier than the other way around.
Not to mention the Red team's back cliff hidden in shadows. A whole crap load of Red snipers can hide there and shed the bloods of the poor Blue teams. Heck, I even order my clan members/men to station warthog .50 cal machine guns or warthog triple-barreled rocket launchers along with a few snipers on the cliff to provide artillery, machine gun supressing fire, and sniper small-arms fire during tough matches.
This is Halo, not Battlefield 2. Are you talking about the people who stand still when they shoot, or worse, crouch because they think that makes them harder to hit? Their vapor trails, the rockets' smoke, the tracers coming from the chain guns are very easy to notice. Any player with half a brain will know where the fire is coming from.
These "tough matches" you talk about, who do you fight against? Public noobs who just started playing the game? I don't want to be insulting or anything, but in a real game, with real players who know how to lead their shots, doing something like camping your warthogs and snipers up on the cliffs is suicidal, impractical, and it just plain doesn't work.
A person who has just played Halo for the first time can easily realize that if he picks up a sniper rifle and simply strafes the enemy projectiles with ease, he can take out stationary targets, like a person who is mounting a rocket warthog or a sniper who is standing still. Basically, camping in the shadows of the hill behind red base is like ringing a giant dinner bell to snipers, like turning the hill behind red base into a God damned Christmas tree, with so much fire erupting from it.
