Interspersed throughout
Not that...whimsical probably, but just having a set of magnetized tracks run between the towers that could be used for quick transport.

That would be mechanically interchangeable with the launch pads but less likely to make people wonder if they'd walked into the wrong recruitment hut and accidentally joined the circus (It would explain the brightly colored uniform!).


Personally I'd remove the whole thing, but I'll presume there's some reason the devs went with the mechanics they choose.

I was actually thinking about something like that. I think it would feel a little more naturalistic for PS2.

It would also solve the problem of players heads popping up for snipers to hit from behind cover. Ziplining players would stay at a horizontal plain between their start and end point (unless the zipline itself went between a lower and higher point).

The only kind of strange thing would be seeing a MAX suit running along a zipline, but that probably wouldn't look any stranger than a MAX flying off a jump pad, so no real loss there.
