Wrong. I've played games in the past that supposedly had camo which made you harder to spot, and gave you signifigcant range to fight over, and it didn't help in any noticeable way.
The engine can absolutely influence how easy it is to spot someone with camo. Unless the engine is specifically designed around making camo much harder to spot, it doesn't really help. You're still an obvious blot on a static background. The only camo that works is invisibility like the infiltrators get.
