Why do you guys think that is?
Apples to oranges.

Civilian is the target in Hunted. Civilian works on escape maps for the same reason: Specialization. It's there for a specific purpose, and has no other.

Other classes, not so much. Yes, Scout and Medic are rated for Offense, and heavier classes for Defense... BUT, they *CAN* be effective if they reverse roles. I've seen games where a Solly/Demo/HW on O were very effective at taking down the enemy D, and assisting the lighter/faster classes get the flag out. That's why OvD/I-D maps are effective. You work as a TEAM to complete the objective. Even DMing noobs are helpful there.
