This is interesting game tuning. I guess the tactics isn't as fun, when you're less likely to see someone before they can shoot you?

The gameplay is quite complex so that difficulties parsing enemies due to visuals just detracts from the experience and reduces that gameplay complexity. There are still situations where it's intentionally more difficult to recognize enemies, but that's an explicit choice made by map designers, not an accident, and requires you to learn how to deal with that in specific situations (while also adding to the decision space for the other side).
