Beware the Tether (Destiny)

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.

Basically yeah. I could draw a diagram to explain this, but then I'd have to find somewhere to put it.

Anyway, what I found interesting was how this explains my mental approach to Crucible. I got a quick burst of information (2 markers), and immediately decided to run to the leftmost door to get a better angle, keeping what I thought were the positions of the enemies and what they might be doing in my head. When I entered the room from that side, Cheapley had already killed both of them, which confused me because my mental picture had positioned one of them in the back hallway, probably trying to escape out of the room. Once I verified all of the enemy team was down, I ran back through what had happened in my head to see if I could figure out where my miscalculation was. In doing that, I realized what a tight window that tether must have been shot through, and let Cheapley know it was a damn good shot, forgetting about my confusion until I saw this video. At the end when Cheapley turns around and kills the second guy, I was like, "Oooohhh."
