Beware the Tether (Destiny)

I think he’s just talking about the markers. If they were both behind the wall, with no way to see the actual tether, the markers are still the same size and wouldn’t actually give you any information about distance.

I guess that’s sort of a niche case—typically there is probably enough movement (both by you and the marked enemy) that you can infer distance pretty well based on the path they’re taking.

You’re screenshot actually does make me see what squid is saying. I would expect a player to head for the hallway rather than to just back into that corner, and the marker doesn’t give you any information on its own to really make that judgement.
