That's not a corner... (Destiny)

If I can catch up to you "running around a corner" by jumping over something, than running fast isn't worth much, is it? :)

I can think of very few places where that might be a real option. 3, at the minute. There might be more but the fact that you've stopped shooting to give chase means I've achieved the desired effect - you've stopped shooting me. And if you're able to stop shooting, get over the object fast enough to catch up to me and start shooting me again, I've run in the wrong direction or you were already way too close to me.

The more I think about it the less I like this hypothetical. How big is this object that it's faster to jump over it than it is to run out of Line of Sight? All you need to do is literally nip round the nearest corner. And if it's that large, why would jumping up, then being on top of it (still in LoS) then dropping off it be superior?
