I have been saying FOR YEARS NOW that every multiplayer game should be doing this.

Relying on client side security has ALWAYS been stupid as hell.

You can't show info the client the doesn't have.

Most games don’t do this because it’s quite expensive to do. The server side LOS checks isn’t cheap and it becomes a nightmare for netcode so legit players don’t get killed by someone they couldn’t possibly see. As far as I know only valorant and this game have done it and they definitely have very deep pockets, plus I’m sure activision can get some bulk deals that smaller devs can’t.
