TFC 2fort doesn't have a roof either. TF2 2fort is the only version that does, and it's awful.

Why do you think its awful if you don't mind me asking?

Adding a roof created an area to catch splash damage, and the high ground created by the roof (which is only ever used by scouts) means that the intel capture zone had to moved back into the intel rooms instead of the battlements. a) these are possible for the enemy team to very easily camp and b) this means that when a flag runner escapes from the enemy base, the enemy team has no chance to stop them.

To be fair, the roof is also used by Demomen, Soldiers, and the odd Wrangler Engineer even since its addition.
