If the game is designed so bullets can go through walls then one would expect situations where the player can intuit the location of the enemy.

Imagine a tall wall which blocks all vision of anyone standing behind it. Imagine most of of the wall is knocked down flat but some remains standing just enough to hide 1 standing player. Suppose you see a player walk behind that wall and not come out the other side. It's reasonably to deduce you can shoot that wall to damage that player.

Suppose the surroundings are quiet and you can hear footsteps of enemies you can't see in a building. In knowing the area you can deduce where the enemies are depending on sound of footsteps on glass or on wood. Most games probably have directional sound which helps too.
