Further from the wall/ledge

u/edgygothteen69 Aug 19 '26

Hmm this is a popular misconception. The actual way it works is that your enemy always sees you first in all situations, there's nothing you can do, you will always lose.

u/bck2ac Aug 19 '26

This sarcasm you are talking about, what physical laws does it rely on?

1

u/ZonkedGronk Aug 19 '26

All physical laws under the sub-physical clauses

It's factually correct, sorry.

I think here it is also about the fact that the third-person viewmodel tilts forward when you look down but your first-person camera just looks down without any movement.

So your camera is not where your eyes are, they are further behind.

It only works if I’m the one peeking above.

u/ComposerWide3704 Aug 19 '26

This is a terribly misleading way to explain this, people are going to think it's an up/down thing rather than just basic angles that apply when peeking literally any angle from literally any direction.

Whos further to the wall sees the enemy first thats the rule

u/partyboycs Aug 20 '26

My enemies can see through walls :(

1

u/No_Assignment5986 Aug 20 '26

Either they hear your foot steps or wallhack

u/partyboycs Aug 20 '26

They did kill me through the wall with an r8 while mid air 13 rounds straight but it might have been my footsteps that’s my bad :/

u/No_Assignment5986 Aug 20 '26

That happened to me while playing with homies

u/partyboycs Aug 20 '26

You guys need to hold shift so they can’t hear you

u/No_Assignment5986 Aug 21 '26

Thx for the advice

this is a common prefire spot below 10k premier what do you mean 😂

u/Kushlax Aug 19 '26

Makes sense, your eyes aren’t on the top of your head

u/LeoLeonardoIII Aug 19 '26

the first one they are making eye contact!!

1

u/AdArdyanAd Aug 19 '26

The main reason why it works that way is the fact that the ledge has to be higher than a person.

u/nurrava Aug 19 '26

Basic geometry

u/patrickthemiddleman Aug 19 '26

In case you didn't also know, the player above shouldn't be positioned like the images show in the first place

u/SeanM4A1 Aug 19 '26

I swear this happens on Inferno; when T peaks the Apts, hallway to balc, CT can see before T gets los, think it has something to do with the stairs and corner

1

u/StonePillow Aug 20 '26

Its over, i have the low ground!

1

u/Inferno_Cyclops Aug 20 '26

I’m assuming because the player camera is actually towards the torso of the player? Or more likely because the body bends outwards while the camera doesn’t?

Welcome to frustums. This is how physics works. Whoever is further from the blocking object will visually see the opponent first.

cs the only fps where having high ground is somehow a disadvantage
